His parentage is unknown at this time. He married in about 1717, Mary Marr Kingcart. Mary was born in about 1695 in Virginia, probably in Lancaster County, the daughter of John Marr and his first wife, whose name is not known. The Marrs moved to Stafford County in about 1700. Mary was the widow of Thomas Kingcart, Jr. of Calvert County, Maryland. Thomas and Mary Marr Kingcart had one daughter, Martha. Thomas Kingcart died in 1715. In 1720, King George County, Virginia was formed from parts of Richmond and Stafford Counties. The area where John and Mary Bradford lived apparently was in the newly formed King George County. As shown in the earlier article from the Genealogies of Virginia Families, John Bradford had been granted land, and had a home in King George County by 1822. This land was originally surveyed for Thomas Kingcart, the late husband of John's wife, Mary Marr Kingcart. This land, and another 125 acres he later from purchased William Russell in 1728, adjoined land owned by the Marr Family. John and Mary Bradford had nine known children. === In 1731, the area John owned in King George County, was included in another new county, Prince William. On the 1737 Quit Rent Roll of Prince William County, John is shown with 250 acres. It is assumed John was a farmer. === John Bradford received a grant of 309 acres in Prince William County in 1748. This land adjoined his other land. He now owned 559 acres in Prince William County. === John Bradford died between 1748-1753 in Prince William County, Virginia." === http://www.ormsby.org/genie/Miscellaneous/Bradford.html === From the Book "From Log Cabins to the White House" by Mary Brewer, we learn his place of birth and the following: John Bradford came to America on the ship "Temperance" as headright of William Peirce..this means his passage was paid by this man. Wm Peirce claimed land in Prince William Co., now Fauquier Co. VA. John lived at Marr's Run where he met John Marr and his daughter Mary Marr Kingcart and by this first marriage had a daughter Martha Kingcart who married John McBee === Peggy Shomo Joyner, Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys Hampshire, Berkeley, Loudoun, Fairfax, King George, Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland & Lancaster Counties 1697-1784, Volume IV (Portsmouth, Virginia: Privately Published, 1987) pp. 121, 125, 127 === JOHN BRADFORD, 20 Dec 1722 - 22 Dec 1722; 15 a. of Marrs Run falling into Gt Marsh Run; John Brandford's house drawn on plat; adj.
