[edit] Biography
Bradley was a direct descendant of Gideon Mauwee the first Schaghticoke (tribe) Sachem and is believed by some to be related to William Sherman Chief of the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation who lived in the village of Nichols Farms at the Golden Hill Reservation in the mid 19th century. Bradley married Julia M. Kilson in March 1846 and their marriage produced three daughter's. Bradley is believed to have lived in the Ephraim Hawley House as early as 1840 working the farm for the widow Sarah Hawley-Nichols after her second husband Isaac Nichols died. Bradley purchased the house in 1881, at the time called the Sarah Hawley homestead, and turned the house into a two family residence before selling it in 1882 for a 25% profit.
