    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.

    Notes:

    Andrew Jackson Bradley enlisted on 30 April 1838 at Valley River, Cherokee County, North Carolina as a private in Captain Thomas Angel's Company, 3rd Regiment of North Carolina Militia for six months duty. He participated in rounding up the Cherokee Indians and starting them on the westward journey to a new reservation in Oklahoma. This was the "Cherokee Trail of Tears." He was discharged on 6 July 1838 at Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina. His personal description at enlistment was: 5 feet 8 inches in height, grey eyes, auburn hair, and fair complexion.

    Andrew Jackson Bradly was married to Mary Elvira Trentham by Reverend Richard Evans.

    Prior to 26 December 1850, Andrew Jackson Bradley bought 100 acres of land from Solomon & Peter Milsaps. This land was located "on the right hand fork of the west fork of Little Pigeon River, it being part of an Entry made by David Millsaps including the land where Solomon & Peter Millsaps formerly lived..." Then on 26 December 1850, Andrew Jackson Bradley sold this tract of land to James Wesley Huskey.

    There is a family story of the Civil War days. Uncle Isaac (Ike) Bradley often told the narrative as it is given below.

    "Way back in times of Civil War - that was before my days - in time of the Civil War they drove them out of here. The Rebels, you know they drove the Rebels out, and they got so hard on my mind they wouldn't let them make nothing. They moved them to North Carolina. They got started across there and they aimed to go thru on the second day out but they got water-bound and they couldn't get to them. They had to stay there about five days.

    "Five days. They lived on three pounds of sheep's tallow. Mutton tallow, they called it. They ate that mutton tallow and kept alive, five days until the water runned out.

    "I can't dispute it because my mammy's told it, my brothers have told it and my brother's fussin' got to 'em when the river got out.

    "My daddy owned, in time of Civil War, he owned Trentham property over by the forks of the river. He owned two or three hundred acres there, but they run him out. He was in the Rebel army and they runned him out. He owned all that. He got it to take care of his mammy-in-law, my grandmother, and when they runned him out he gave it to his other brother-in-laws - Uncle Robert and Uncle Isaac Trentham. He gave it to them to take care of their own, so he just turned it over to them."

    After his Confederate service in Civil War, Andrew Jackson Bradley received a grant of 100 acres of Colonel William Thomas. The land was located in the area of Tow String Creek, Swain County, North Carolina (now Great Smoky Mountains National Park). The original hand-written document by Colonel William Thomas is still in existence and in possession of one of Andrew Jackson Bradley's descendants.

    Andrew Jackon Bradley was listed in the 1850 through 1880 Federal Census of Sevier County, Tennessee.
