WILLIAM BRADFORD OF THE MAYFLOWER NEPHEW OF SAMUEL GRAY (FIRST AMERICAN TO DIE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR) 1ST COUSIN OF EXPLORER CAPT. ROBERT GRAY JUSTICE OF THE PEACE SELECTMAN ---------------- A BIOGRAPHY OF GIDEON BRADFORD, ESQ., by Laurence Overmire (6th great grandson), genealogist and family historian, updated August 2020: Gideon Bradford was born in Plympton, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, Oct. 17, 1718, the second of ten children of Lt. Samuel Bradford and Sarah Gray. His father was the great grandson of Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower. His mother was the half-sister of Samuel Gray, the first American to die in the Revolutionary War. She was also the aunt of Capt. Robert Gray, the American explorer who discovered the Columbia River and staked America's claim to the Oregon Territory. On Oct. 8, 1741, at Plymouth, Massachusetts, 23-year-old Gideon married 24-year-old Jane Paddock, the daughter of Deacon Ichabod Paddock and Joanna Faunce. Jane gave birth to seven children: 1) Levi (1743-1822, m. Elizabeth Lewis) 2) Joseph (1745-1787, m. Susannah Weeks) 3) Sarah "Sally" (1748-1837, m. Freeman Ellis) 4) Samuel (1750-1835, m. Sarah Fuller, Susannah Vaughan) 5) Gideon Jr. (1752-1805, m. Abigail Sampson) Revolutionary War veteran. 6) Calvin (1754-1835, m. Lucy Pratt) Revolutionary War veteran. 7) Jane "Jennie" (1756-1837, m. Noah Bisbee) Gideon lived in the northern part of Plympton near the Old Furnace. In 1761, he moved to the southern part of town and purchased about 200 acres. He was the owner of the Old Forge on the Winnetuxet River, which he operated until they stopped making iron in 1774. At that point, he moved to Charlotte Furnace in the southern part of Carver. An important and respected member of the community, Gideon held various positions of authority including Justice of the Peace, Selectman, and Assessor, as well as moderator of Plympton town meetings. Gideon inherited an iron mortar-pestle from his father Samuel that was brought to America on the Mayflower by Gov. William Bradford. He handed the precious family heirloom down to his daughter Sarah Ellis. Gideon died in Plympton on Oct. 18, 1793, at the age of 74 and was laid to rest in Ye Olde Burial Grounds in Plympton (now Hillcrest Cemetery). -------- GOV. WILLIAM BRADFORD'S MORTAR-PESTLE FROM AXEL H. REED GENEALOGY, p. 18 (transcribed by Laurence Overmire): "The mother, Jane Ellis [Read], was a direct descendant of Governor William Bradford, and possessed a so-called iron 'mortar-pestle' which was brought over in the ship Mayflower in 1620, and handed down through the Bradford descendents [sic] to Gideon Bradford of Plympton, Mass., and from his family to that of Freeman Ellis of Hartford, Me., who married Sarah Bradford, and at her death it fell to her daughter, Jane Ellis Read, and from her to her son Freeman Read, and remains among his descendents [sic]."
