David Bradley
David Bradley, deceased. The subject of this sketch was born February 1, 1810, in Madison County, Ohio. He was the son of Jonah and Susan Bradley, who were early settlers of Madison County. In his youth he was trained to the pursuits of agriculture which he afterward followed until his decease. On May 24, 1835, he married Miss Nancy Morrow, who was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., June 24, 1814. She was a daughter of John and Mary Morrow. This union has been blessed with five children, four of whom are now living — Delilah, John, Mary and Quincy. In 1840, Mr. Bradley settled where his widow now resides, near the central portion of Monroe Township. He had served as Treasurer of Monroe Township, and was highly respected by all who knew him. He departed this life July 6, 1850, and left behind him a large circle of friends and relatives who mourn their irreparable loss.
