Edward Barradall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Barradall (c. 1703 - 1743) served as mayor of Williamsburg, Virginia from 1736 to 1737.[1]
Edward Barradall was Virginia's first law reporter.[2]
Barradall married Sarah the daughter of William FitzHugh on January 5, 1736, in Virginia. Barradall also served as Virginia's Attorney General and[3] Judge of the Admirality Court.[4]
He had a son named Edward Barradall, Jr.[5]
In 1739 one of Barradall's servants, John Davis, a West Country man imported from Bristol, ran away leaving Barradall to advertise. He speculated that since he had lived in Philadelphia he might be trying to run back there. He offered a cash reward and a pistol for Davis' return.[6]
Barradall died about 1743 in Virginia.[7] His wife Sarah died in October 1743 and they are buried together in the same tomb in Bruton churchyard, Williamsburg, Virginia.[8]
