Biography

Bradford was born in 1810. He passed away in 1845.

Bradford Beebe is identified as the grandson of Lois (Gunn) Beebe (1758-1824) in her 1824 last will and testament. ^[1] Therefore, Bradford was the son of one of her sons. The only known sons of Lois were Zenas, Henry and William. Henry and William would have been too young to have been the father of Bradford in 1810, thus as Zenas is the only other known son of Lois, Zenas is almost certainly the father of Bradford. This assertion fits with other known information regarding Zenas, that is to say he died in prison for manslaughter in 1821, this would have left Bradford fatherless at the age of 11, and age 14 at the time of his grandmother's will.
