Notes:

According to the 1800 and 1810 Federal Census, Isaac Bradley and Anne lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

Isaac Bradley is listed with his second wife in the 1820 and 1830 Federal Census of Burke County, North Carolina; the 1840 and 1850 Federal Census of Haywood County, North Carolina; and the 1860 Federal Census of Jackson County, North Carolina.

On 12 April 1841, Isaac Bradley bought two tracts of land from John Hyde of Cherokee County, North Carolina for $475.00. The first tract, located on the east side of the North Fork of Oconaluftee River, contained 150 acres.

On 27 September 1841, Isaac Bradley bought 100 acres of land from the State of North Carolina for $5.00. This land was located on the "Left hand Fork of Oconaluftee River" and began "at a white oak Sapling on his old line near the West Bank of the Right hand Fork of said River and near the Waggon Road..."

On 20 March 1846, Isaac Bradley sold one tract of land on "the right hand Fork of Oconaluftee River" to his son, William Bradley for money.

Then on 29 May 1848, Isaac Bradley sold another 107 acres of land to his son, William Bradley for $10.00. This land began "at a large chestnut on the east bank of the right hand Fork of the Oconaluftee River..."

Also on 20 May 1848, Isaac Bradley sold 89 acres of land to his son-in-law, Israel Carver, for $10.00. This tract began "at a Chestnut at the mouth of a small Branch on the west side of the right hand Fork of the Oconaluftee River..."

In another 29 May 1848 deed he sold 120 acres of land to his son, Thomas Bradley for $10.00. This land began "at a Chestnut at the mouth of a small Branch on the West side of the right hand Fork of the Oconaluftee River..." The deed indicated that Thomas Bradley was to "sustain the said Isaac Bradley and Sarah Bradley his Parents for life; if not the said Thomas Bradley forfeits his right of said Land as regards possession until the death of said Parents, then the said Thomas Bradley shall have full possession of sd Lands to his only use..."

On 1 July 1848, Isaac Bradley made a deed for 16 acres of land to his son, Augustine Bradley for $40.00. This land was located on "the east side of the north Fork of Oconaluftee River" and began "at a large Cestnut on the east bank of said river..."

The land in all these transactions is now part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

As shown by the above deeds, most of Isaac Bradley's land was divided among his children prior to his death. No will has been found in Haywood or Jackson County, North Carolina. Isaac died at his homeplace and was buried with his wife in the Bradley-Carver family cemetery, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
