    [Footnote by editor notes that the previous entry shows parents "Thomas and Abigail Bradbury". Since Thomas m. Sarah Merrill and Jacob m. Abigail Eaton, it is clear the names of the wives were switched. Thomas is Jacob's uncle. They were new in town having located to Biddeford in 1744.]

    "Jacob Bradbury, Esq., son of Jacob and wife Abigail Eatgon, was born in Biddeford, Apr 22 1744. He married Mary Goodwin and Catherine Flint; lived on his father's homestead on Beech Plain road in Buxton; was a man of strong mind, good judgement, adn great candor; was of majestic and dignified presence. He was constantly in public office for more than thirty years and held the esteem of all who knew him. He was the first representative sent from Buxton to the General Court, and served with honor for several years. His last words were: "When I awake again I shall wing my way to immortal bliss to receive my crown of rejoicing." He then fell into a sound sleep from which he never awoke."
