I'm wondering where you found out about my interest in that name. Actually, my BRADLEY is Hannah, 1682-1768. She married Japhet MANSFIELD, brother of my ancestor, Elizabeth. Their parents were Joseph MANSFIELD and Mary POTTER. As of now I am not pursuing the ancestors of spouses of siblings but I would appreciate seeing any information you might have. Thanks again.
