Isaac Bradley's parents were Abraham Bradley, Sr. (b. 1737 Orange, N.C., d. 1823 Greenville, S.C.) who married Sarah Elizabeth Lane (1743-1834 S.C.), the daughter of Rev. Tidence Lane (born 1724 Baltimore Co., MD, died 30 Jan 1806 in TN) and his wife, Hester (Van Bibber) Lane (1727-1805). NOTE: Hester's name is also recorded as Esther Van Bibbles/Van Bibbin/Van Bibber/Hester Bobby. Abraham and Sarah (Lane) Bradley, Sr. were married in 1764 at Orange Co., NC and had 8 children: George Bradley; Pricilla Bradley (b. 29 Sept 1769 at Orange Co., NC and d. 10 Aug 1845 at Habersham Co., GA, m. James Bruce b. 1760, d. 1871; Isaac Bradley; Aquilla Q. Bradley; Tidence Bradley; John Bradley; Elizabeth [Betsey] (Bradley) Benson; and Abraham Bradley, Jr. NOTE: Abraham Bradley, Sr.'s Greenville District, South Caroline will was probated on 17 Nov 1823 and mentions his children, Issac Bradley, Judy Bradley, George Bradley and his wife, Judy, Betsy [Betty] (Bradley) Benson and Aquilla Q. Bradley (Executor) (See attached transcription of Abraham Bradley's (1723-1823) will).

The 1820 US Census of Greenville, South Caroline enumerated an Isaac Bradley whose age, 35, fell within the proper range of 26-44 on the census.

The 1830 US Census of Greenville, South Carolina enumerated an Isaac Bradley whose age, 45 Y/O, also fell within the proper range 40-49 on the census. Interestingly, several Bradley households were enumerated close to Isaac's. The one next door was Sarah Bradley labeled "Wid" (widow) whose age fell within the range 80-90 on the census. I strongly suspect that she was Isaac's mother, Sarah Elizabeth (Lane) Bradley, and the widow of Abraham Bradley, Sr. (1737-1823). Progressively enumerated, starting next door to Sarah E. (Lane) Bradley's residence was the home of Tidence Bradley, age range 50-60 on the census, who probably was another of Sarah Elizabeth (Lane) Bradley's sons (see first paragraph above). The next two near-by Bradley households were Perry Bradley, age range 20-30 (probably close kin) and Judeah (Judy) Bradley, a female, labeled "Wid" (widow) in the age range of 30-40. Judy was probably the widow of George Bradley, both of whom were mentioned in Abraham Bradley, Sr.'s 1823 will.

The 1840 US Census of Greenville, South Carolina enumerated an Isaac Bradley whose age, 55 Y/O, fell within the range 50-60 on the census. Still living next door to Isaac was the widow, Judeah (Judy) Bradley, and her family. Her age fell within the 50-59 years range. Many Bradley families lived close-by including a 60-70 Y/O Mary Bradley, a Perry Bradley and 4 others whom are probably kin but presently I can't connect to Isaac.

Isaac Bradley died intestate but the record of his 23 Feb 1848 Greenville District, South Carolina estate sale is extant. His wife, Sarah (Armstrong) Bradley, was co-administrator. Isaac's daughter, Harriett Bradley, and his widow, Sarah, were among the many people who purchased items from the estate. The estate record stated all of Isaac's children were of age except one, Harriett. A John Benson also bought items from the estate sale. I believe he was the husband of Isaac's sister, Betsy (Betty) Benson, mentioned in Abraham Bradley, Sr.'s 1823 will. The final tally for the estate sale of Isaac Bradley was $2781.94. Harriett Bradley received $190.32 as her share. John Pleasant Shockley signed the estate sale as a clerk.
