bulletRichard Brackett was born about 1610 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England. He was baptized on 16 Sep 1610 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England. He died on 3 Mar 1690 in Braintree, Massachusetts?. John Brooks Threlfall wrote for the American Genealogist in 1976: "Richard Brackett, Puritan emigrant to Boston and then Braintree, Massachusetts, first appears in New England records as No. 144 on the list of organizers of the First Church of Boston in 1630. He returned to England, probably 1633, for a wife, as did a number of other single men during that period, for in the Register of St. Katherine by the Tower, London, as published in 1946, is recorded the marriage of Richard Bracket and Alice Blower, 6 Jan. 1633/4. Neither of these surnames reappears in the period covered by the transcription, 1584-1665, a rather convincing indication at they were not members of a local family in that parish, and there is no hint as to their origins. Soon Richard returned to New England with his bride and their first child, Hannah, was baptized at Boston, 14 Jan. 34/5, just a year after the marriage." LDS data is the only confirmation I have found that this daughter Hannah was the same Hannah Brackett who married Samuel Kinsley (CWP, 1997).

bullet Cornelius Beach BRADLEY Photo was born on 18 Nov 1843 in Bangkok, Siam. He died on 18 Feb 1936 in Berkeley, California. From the Colorado College Bulletin:
On Connections and Webs By Richard Bradley
" When I came west with my family in the summer of 1961 to take a teaching job at Colorado College, I thought I was doing something new, going to a school where few of our friends and none of our ancestors had ever trod. Imagine my surprise, then, when some 15 years later my stepmother in Berkeley, California, rummaging through old boxes in her attic, uncovered a diary my grandfather Cornelius Beach Bradley had written in which he described teaching here in the summer of 1892.
A quick visit to the college archives conformed for me that he had indeed been here, and I also learned that 1892 was the first year the college had offered a summer session, calling it “The Colorado Summer School of Science, Philosophy, and the Arts” (note the regional implication -- “Colorado” rather than “Colorado College” or “Colorado Springs”). The session lasted three weeks, a dozen or so faculty plus several assistants participated, mostly from Front Range schools but a few from as far away as both coasts. There were 175 students, mostly townsfolk. President William Slocum presided. A college bulletin written later boasted “ … a wide range of subjects was covered, and the greatest interest was manifest throughout, in all departments. The attractiveness of Colorado Springs as a place for recreation as well as for work was thoroughly demonstrated.” Doubtless true: Katharine Lee Bates succumbed to the attraction the following year and wrote “America the Beautiful.”
But what had attracted Bradley that first year? His diary gives a hint: “ … I received an invitation to go there and accepted. The work was new to me, and therefore the more desirable, and it would bring me into acquaintance with eastern men.”
More to the point, why had Bradley been offered the job at CC? Through what connections or contacts did Slocum even know about him? Again, the diary suggests an answer. “Arrived upon the theatre of action, I found the usual confusion of an opening term of school. I was quartered with Rev. C. E. Dickey (1200 N. cascade Ave.), whose home was made, by the kindness shown me by himself and his wife, one of the memorable abiding places of my many wanderings. With them I stayed three weeks and a little over.
“The opening exercises were held in the Congregational Church on the evening of the 6th. Speeches were made by Pres. Slocum, the president of the Denver College, and by myself. My lectures began the next day in the course in Hist. & Compar. Grammar, and also in Chaucer. The attendance was remarkable in being made up not of teachers, but very largely of notable women in town and folk not supposed to need further schooling. They did me the honor to attend in good numbers and they seemed greatly interested. There were 10 lectures in the one course and six on the other. Besides these I delivered an evening lecture in the Church on the novel, and read my Big Trees paper in the Chapel. I found a most warm reception everywhere in the community, and enjoyed the hospitality of a number of the good townspeople.”
Reading the diary with its many references to church and clergy, I believe I understand why Slocum found him attractive: he was a man of the cloth as well as an educator. Colorado College at that time was a Christian college, founded and presided over by Congregational ministers. Bradley had been born and raised in Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand), the son of missionary parents. After attending Oberlin College and Yale Divinity School, he returned to Siam, for three years of missionary service before settling in California to teach English. The United States was much less populous in those days. The number of people with his qualifications and experience could not have been large, and I suspect Slocum learned about him through the various ecclesiastical and educational societies they both must have belonged to.
But there is another interesting connection to be made here that might have influenced Slocum, this one between the two institutions, UC and CC. The University of California, a land-grant institution chartered in 1868, arose on land ceded to it by the embryonic College of California, a would-be private coeducational liberal arts Christian college very much in the mold of the future Colorado College. One of the people out on the West Coast who had championed the creation of the College of California was none other than Edward Payson Tenney, the same person who in 1868 strove unsuccessfully to create another private coeducational Christian college just south of Denver modeled on the College of California blueprint, and the same person who in 1876 became the first successful president of Colorado College, Slocum’s immediate predecessor. So Slocum had reason indeed to look favorably on the University of California -- where Bradley was a professor of English and Rhetoric -- when seeking new faculty.
So many connections, such a tangled web! It brings to mind the oft-quoted statement by naturalist John Muir: “When we try to pick out something by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”
And that suggests yet another strand in the web: Bradley, a good amateur naturalist in his own right (note the allusion in his diary to his paper “The Big Trees”) who spent all his spare time exploring the region, was a personal friend of Muir’s. When, in 1892 (again that date!), Muir gathered together 26 citizens from the San Francisco Bay area to form the Sierra Club, a wilderness advocacy group, Bradley was one of them, a charter member. They signed the articles of incorporation on June 4, just one month before Bradley caught the train to Colorado. Now fast-forward 85 years and we find Colorado College awarding an honorary degree to the Sierra Club’s first executive director, David Brower, widely considered John Muir’s heir apparent.
Who was in Colorado Springs in 1892 that might have matched Bradley’s enthusiasm for hiking and climbing, and shown him some trails on his leisure time forays? Well, who indeed but mountain man Manley Ormes, one of the organizers of the local hiking group “The Saturday Knights,” a man who has a mountain peak named after him (as does Bradley). Ormes was not yet connected with the college -- that would come later -- but he was a Congregationalist, was not one to skip Sunday services (except once to climb Pikes Peak). Even if Bradley attended services on campus instead of in Ormes’ church, which seems likely, he still must have met Ormes at some point. The town was no more than a village in those days. But the diary makes no mention of Ormes, and the archival file on Ormes in Tutt Library makes no mention of Bradley. Too bad. If they didn’t meet, they should have.
Happily, that particular deficiency was rectified in subsequent generations. Manley’s son, Bob, a mountain man even greater than Manley, was teaching English at CC when we arrived in 1961, and we shared many a trail with him.
I never really knew Cornelius Bradley. I met him briefly only once -- when I was 6 and he was nearly 90 -- and I doubt we had a lot to talk about. But now that I have seen his diary, I would like to be able to swap stories with him. Quite obviously he enjoyed teaching here as much as I did."

From THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS - UNIVERSITY NAMES IN THE HIGH SIERRA by Ann Lage: "In 1897, professor of rhetoric Cornelius Beach Bradley made a 200-mile trek in the High Sierra with former student Robert Price and his wife. While Bradley ascended a lower peak, Price and his friend Joseph Shinn made the first ascent of a 13,780 foot peak next to University Peak in the Kings-Kern region, naming it Mount Bradley. Cornelius Bradley, born in Siam, was at Berkeley from 1882 until 1911 and was a charter member of the Sierra Club; his son, Harold, was president of the club in the 1950s." Parents: Dan Beach BRADLEY D.D. and Emelie Royce.

He was married to Mary Sarepta Commings on 30 Jul 1871 in Oberlin, Ohio. Children were: Bertha Theresa BRADLEY , Harold Cornelius BRADLEY.

bullet Hon. Dan BRADLEY was born on 10 Jun 1767 in Hamden, Connecticut. He died in 1838 in Marcellus, New York. Judge Dan Bradley graduated with distinguished honors from Yale in 1789, and a year later received the M.A. degree. In 1790 he was licensed to preach. In 1792 he was ordained at Haddam, Connecticut and given charge of the church at Whitestone, New Hartford. In 1795, he was "dismissed" from this church and the same year moved to Marcellus, New York. During the winters of 1796 and 1797 he taught school in the log schoolhouse without pay. He built the second frame house in Marcellus. It was standing in 1896. He owned about 200 acres just south of and including part of the town.
"He was one of the most eminent farmers in Central New York, and was elected president of the first Onondaga County Agricultural Society in 1819. To him is largely due the wholesome development of rural interests in those early days; and the result of his zeal and intelligence is felt even at the present time throughout a large section." He wrote for the "New England Farmer," the "Baltimore Farmer and Plowboy," and the "Genesee Farmer." Many of his articles were published in the State Agricutural Journal.
In 1796, Bradley and Rice built the first local sawmill on Nine Mile Creek.
Dan Bradley was appointed a Judge of Onondaga County Court in 1801 "and by his display of legal knowledge soon became somewhat distinguished as a jurist." In 1808, he was appointed First Judge of the County. This office he held till 1813. "He was somewhat remarkable for amusement and gratification of his friends."
Dan Bradley was a trustee of a community church established in 1801 in Marcellus; also of Franklin Academy, established about 1800. Parents: Jabez BRADLEY and Esther BEACH.

He was married to Eunice BEACH on 21 Oct 1790. Children were: Nancy BRADLEY, Harriet BRADLEY, Augustus BRADLEY, William BRADLEY, Dan Beach BRADLEY D.D..

He was married to Nancy Rose on 3 Feb 1805. Children were: Eunice BRADLEY , Walter BRADLEY, Charles BRADLEY, Isaac BRADLEY.

bullet Dan Beach BRADLEY D.D. Photo was born on 18 Jul 1804 in Marcellus, New York. He died on 23 Jun 1873 in Bangkok, Siam. Dan Beach Bradley received the M.D. degree from the University of New York in 1833 and was appointed resident physician in the New York Lying-in Asylum. In 1834 he married Emilie Royce and sailed as missionary to Siam. In 1838 was ordained to the ministry. For many years he was family physician and personal friend of two kings of Siam. Besides his ministration to the royal family, Dr. Bradley had a wide practice among the poor, 100 or more patients a day being not uncommon.
He introduced into Siam western medicine and surgery, vaccination and obstetrics, and established first private hospital in that country. He translated and printed Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and with his second wife, more than 75 hymns. He prepared and made ready for publication a Siamese dictionary (750 pages; a copy in the library of congress). For 15 years he prepared and published annually a Siamese yearbook. For many years he was the official printer for the Siamese Government and published histories, laws and official documents, as well as newspapers. He wrote and published many religious tracts. In 1845, Emelie Bradley died, and Dan returned to Marcellus the following year for a three year break from his work in Siam. While in the United States, Dan ran into some difficulty with his sponsoring organization, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Dan had developed the theory that people could possibly acquire 'sanctification' during life on earth, a view which the Board found unacceptable. When they refused to return him to Siam, Dan affiliated himself with the American Missionary Association, which tolerated his radical views. The association agreed to send Dan to Siam if he could come up with matching funds, and thus he spent over a year in the US raising money for the return trip. During his stay he married Sarah Blachly, whom he met during a short stop at Oberlin College, and together they returned to Siam with Dan's children. Dan continued his missionary work in Siam until his death in 1873 of typhoid fever. His influence on the cultural development of Siam was tremendous, and he remains an important figure in the history of Thailand to this day.

Dan Beach Bradley (1804-73)
Family Papers, 1800-88, 1930, 1966-69

Biography
Printer, linguist, and the first western physician to enter Thailand as a missionary, Dan Beach Bradley was born in Marcellus, New York on July 18, 1804. He was the fifth son of Judge Dan Bradley (1767-1838) and Eunice Beach Bradley (d. 1804). At age 20, Bradley experienced an episode of deafness from which he was apparently healed by his own prayers. Two years later, in 1826, he dedicated himself to the Lord's service after a revival of the Second Great Awakening in Marcellus aroused in him a strong religious conviction.
Unable to afford to attend seminary, Bradley chose the medical profession. Bouts of ill health prolonged his studies. From 1827 to 1832, he studied medicine intermittently, both privately and at Harvard University. In June 1832, he began study at the College of Physicians in New York City, receiving the Doctor of Medicine in April 1833. During his residency in New York, he met the revivalist Charles Grandison Finney (1792-1875), who may well have influenced his decision to become a missionary. Bradley applied to the American Board of commissioners of Foreign Missions for an appointment in Asia and was accepted in November 1832. On June 5, 1834, after a year-long courtship by correspondence, Bradley married Emilie Royce (1811-45) of Clinton, New York, preceptress of the female seminary in Manlius, New York. The two set sail on the Cashmere from Boston for Thailand on July 2, 1834, arriving in Bangkok just over a year later.
Bradley's career in Thailand was multifaceted. He combined mission work with the practice of modern medicine, introducing inoculation, vaccination, drugs to relieve pain, and modern obstetrics among the Thais. It is said that he won more converts through his battles against smallpox that through his preaching. His reputation as a healer spread, and he became the physician and tutor to Mongkut, the King of Siam (reigned 1851-68), an intellectually curious Buddhist eager for western educational and scientific improvements in his country. Bradley's literary activities included translations of Scripture into Siamese, the publication of a
Siamese Dictionary, and the founding in 1844 of the first newspaper published in Thailand, the Bangkok Recorder. Bradley is credited with inventing and casting the Siamese types for printing and for introducing the printing press, bookbinding, and lithography into Thailand.
Emilie Royce Bradley died of tuberculosis in 1845 after ten years of teaching among the women of the Siamese court and raising her family. In 1847, Bradley withdrew from the Board of the Commissioners for Foreign Missions after controversy erupted among the missionaries over Bradley's theological views of "holiness" or "sinless perfection." During his three-year sojourn in the United States between 1847 and 1850, Bradley solicited financial support for the work of the American Missionary Association, which had arranged to take over the work of the A.B.C.F.M. in Thailand. While in Oberlin, Ohio, Bradley met his second wife, Sarah Blachly (1817-93), an 1845 graduate of the college and a friend of Oberlin President Asa Mahan (1800-89). The two were married November 1, 1848 and after a year, they returned to Thailand.
After 1857, the American Missionary Association ceased official connections with the mission in Bangkok and donated its printing plant to Bradley. This allowed Bradley to serve as an independent missionary, supporting himself by his printing. In 1859, he founded the almanac entitled the Bangkok Calendar, which he published until his death in 1873. Mrs. Bradley continued missionary work among the Thais, printing tracts, and teaching English to the women of the royal household. Sarah Bradley died in 1893, never once having left Thailand.
Dan Beach Bradley and Emilie Royce Bradley had five children; one died at birth in 1835. The others were Emilie Jane (d. 1848, Oberlin), Sophia Royce (1839-1923), Harriet (b. 1841;d. 1842), and Cornelius Beach (1843-1936; Oberlin, A.B. 1868, sem. 1870). Bradley's children from his marriage to Sarah Blachly (A.B. 1845, Oberlin) were Sara Adorna (b. 1850; Music, 1875), Dwight Blachly (1852-89; A.B. 1875), Mary Adele (1854-1926; A.B. 1880), Dan Freeman (1857-1939; B.A. 1882), and Irene Bell (1860-194?), all of whom, except Irene, graduated from Oberlin College as their mother had.

bullet David McLane (Darby) BRADLEY Photo Unsung heroes are often the most effective. It is time, though, to strike up the chorus for Darby Bradley of Calais. His name is not widely known by Vermonters, but his work is shaping the state's land and economy for generations to come. Bradley is president of the Vermont Land Trust, an organization that is striving to balance people's need for good jobs with their desire for the solace of wildlife. After years of accomplishment, he played a key behind-the-scenes role in the spectacular deal that saved 133,000 acres from development and clear-cutting. For serving as a catalyst in land conservation, for offering an example of civility in his respectful conduct as a leader, for finding the elusive balance between using land and protecting it, Darby Bradley is The Burlington Free Press Editorial Board's choice for Vermonter of the Year.
Vermont is not a park, nor should it become one. The respect Vermonters feel for the land has been shaped through the centuries not by keeping fields and woodlands idle, but by working them in a manner that can be sustained over time. However, there are a multitude of challenges to that heritage today. Financial concerns pressure farmers and foresters to make choices from subdividing to overcutting that solve present problems, but might erode the land's long-term value and beauty. Meanwhile, Vermonters have become accustomed to enjoying the land in a relatively unspoiled condition hiking and hunting and fishing and snowmobiling on private property. As this state's population has grown, so has conflict between these interests. That is where the Vermont Land Trust, and Bradley, come in.
Land conservation means buying the development rights to a piece of farmland. That thwarts sprawl, gives a financial boost to the farmer and keeps the property affordable for the next generation. Land conservation means capturing the huge holdings that major property owners are selling, and then establishing guarantees of recreation access and timbering practices that will not erode the resource over the long term. Land conservation means buying locally valued land to improve it, protect it and maintain it for future generations to enjoy. That is what Bradley has accomplished, with one essential further aspect: The land is still worked. It is still farmed or logged, but in a way that balances the importance of jobs in these industries with Vermonters' equally legitimate desire for a preserved and enjoyable landscape.
It takes an exceptional person to strike this balance. Someone who has equal credibility with tree huggers and tree cutters. Someone who comprehends the countless legal details, yet keeps the larger goal in mind. Someone who can find and win financial backing. Someone who can persuade the Legislature that a land deal has sufficient public benefit to deserve public money. Someone who can turn adversaries into partners. Time after time, Bradley has filled these roles, to increasing success. Last year, the Vermont Land Trust conserved as many acres as it did in its first 15 years of operation 52,000 and that's not counting Bradley's role in the unprecedented 133,000-acre Champion deal. This success is built on Bradley's long record of effective leadership: on the Environmental Board, as an adviser to several governors, as a member of the steering committee of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl. Granted, friends tease him about the gritty animal he becomes on the hockey rink, but his work on the Forest Resources Advisory Council exemplifies his quiet leadership style. Members of the group were openly hostile to one another, yet they were expected to agree about clear-cutting and aerial spraying of herbicides. With Bradley's leadership, they did. They reached a consensus that he presented persuasively to the Legislature. After testifying, he stood for hours on the Statehouse steps listening to a crowd's criticism but he upheld the group's consensus, his personal opinion impossible to detect. Of course, land conservation is never a one-man show. The Champion deal could not have happened without the multistate leadership of The Conservation Fund, the generous up-front contribution of the Freeman Foundation, the financial support of taxpayers and more. But these deals all require glue, a person who can work with all of the negotiating parties and when the ink is dry, a person who can resolve the many conflicts over details.
Not counting the Champion deal, the Vermont Land Trust has conserved 171,936 acres in Vermont, in 555 projects across the state. Thousands of farm and timber jobs have been secured, as well as the natural resource they depend on. Tens of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat have been protected. But Bradley's cumulative effect goes far beyond numbers. His work has prevented sprawl from consuming key productive soils. It has assured Vermonters of recreational access to some of the state's finest lands. It has preserved natural beauty. It has provided an example for building consensus among disparate interests. It has assured a future for land-based industries that are central to Vermont's character and values. It has fostered a greater sense of community in this state. Darby Bradley is not just Vermonter of the Year. His work is a gift to the generations.
