Stephen Bradley was born about 1642 and baptized 21 Aug 1642 at All Saints Church, Bingley, West Riding, Yorkshire, England. Extracted Parish Records read: Steuen, the sonne of Daniell Broadley De West Mort' in Yorkshire: Bingley.
The youngest child of Danyell Broadley [Daniel Bradley] and his second wife Elizabeth, he came to New Haven, Connecticut, about 1645-1648 with his mother and siblings Ellin, Joshua, Daniell and Nathan. His eldest stepbrother William Bradley encouraged them to join him in America after the death of their father. Stephen, Nathan and mother Elizabeth settled in Guilford about 1658.
"Nathan and Stephen, the two youngest, removed to Guilford, Ct. when quite young.... They testified in court, in Guilford, as appears by Guilford Records, in 1658..." according to Sketches of Some American Bradleys. Stephen Bradley was among 21 men who took the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Colony on 1 May 1660, as shown in Records of the colony and plantation of New Haven, from 1638 to 1649.
On 9 Nov 1663 in New Haven, Stephen Bradley, of Guilford and New Haven, married Hannah, daughter of George Smith, of New Haven, according to The Spirit of '76, Volume 5. They had 7 children including sons Stephen Jr., Daniel and Abraham I.
Stephen was active in Guilford civic, religious and military affairs. On 2 Feb 1686, Andrew Leete, Thomas Meacock, Stephen Bradley, and Josiah Rossiter of Guilford signed an agreement with Nausup, Indian, of New Haven, an agreement confirming the purchase of Guilford land from the Indians, The History of Guilford says. In 1694, he and Thomas Meacock were chosen to go to Boston to find a suitable minister for Guilford.
In 1690, he was appointed Ensign of Dragoons, New Haven County, for service in King William's War, says the Bradley Foundation and A History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck and of the Original Town of Guilford. In May 1698 he was confirmed as Captain of the Trainband for Guilford, says Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut [1636-1776].
He died 20 Jun 1702 in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, according to a Bradley section in A biographical history of the county of Litchfield, Connecticut by Payne Kenyon Kilbourne. He likely was buried in Guilford's original Town Green Cemetery that was eliminated in the early 1800s.
