Joseph Bradley

Joseph Bradley was baptized in New Haven, CT on 4 Jan 1645 and his father was named as "Will."(1) He was the oldest child of William Bradley and Alice Prichard. When he was 22 years old Joseph Bradley married Silence Brocket on 25 Oct 1667 in New Haven. She was 19. (2) They had six children. (3) Joseph wrote his will on 4 Dec 1704 when he was 58 years old. He left his dear and loving wife one third of his estate. He did not name his wife by name in this will, but when he mentioned his son Samuel, he was bequeathing to Samuel after "his mother's decease." This indicates that Silence was alive when his will was written.(4) Findagrave indicates that Joseph Bradley died on 5 Jan 1704/5. If this is true then he died the day after the 59th anniversary of his baptism. The inventory of his estate was taken on 29 Jan 1704/5. The value of his estate was a little over £816. His children were all adults when he died.
