Family talk:William Bradford and Rebecca Bartlett (1)

alternate marriage date ^{Citation needed} [10 February 2012]

I removed the alternate marriage date 25 Mar 1675. It had no source. I cannot locate one. In fact, every time I search for it, I get the birth date 25 Dec 1675 of the John Bradford who married Rebecca Bartlett in 1701 and can't help thinking that some sort of confusion with this date led to the removed date??

William was only 20 in 1675 so not quite of age. Jacobus in Ancestry of Thomas Chalmers Brainerd, p. 51, says m. 1679, which is certainly plenty early to account for 3 children born before the end of 1686 (since all were over 14 on 18 Dec 1700 when they chose their own guardians). --Jrich 23:29, 10 February 2012 (EST)
