RE: Re Joshua Bradford 1751-1817 and Anna
You are welcome. Joshua is one of the 18 American Revolution veterans buried in Braceville "Center" Cemetery.

Please feel free to contact me; my email address is correct under my account name. In the past month, I have been reviewing the "Record of Registration of War Veterans' Graves (Volume 2, , pages 37-42 Braceville Twp., pages 213-226 Newton Twp.). These records end in 1997.

Joshua is on page 37; the document is available on FamilySearch.org. Previously, only 14 headstones were found. This document has records of the other 4 burials (w/o headstones).

It is believed that Joshua's parents, William & Mary may possibly be buried in the Bradford Cemetery in Canterbury. One of their granddaughters are buried their, (Mary C Bradford, [79170669], whose headstone is barely legible. So we aren't certain.
