Daughter of pioneer Missouri and Texas cattleman William "Jack" Bradford and likely his first wife, Catherine Jane Carberry.

Married Marion Hall Medlin in Travis County, Texas on 7 Jan 1850 and had seven children with him:

1) Susan M 1852 - 1940
2) Elizabeth Rebecca 1854 - 1936
3) Rachel Malissa 1856 - 1930
4) Nancy S 1859 - 1950
5) Hall 1860 - 1866
6) Laura Ann 1864 - 1955
7) James 1871 - 1938

[It is looking very possible that Catherine and Hall were buried near where they last lived in northern Burnet County, Texas. Less than 20 feet from the graves of Hall's big sister, Mary Ann Anderson, and her husband and Hall's business partner in Missouri, Andrew W. Anderson, in the old pioneer cemetery in Lampasas lies a stone memorial of extraordinary grace and dimension. The enclosure lies a mere 8 feet outside the Anderson compound fence in the old cemetery where considerable distance separates other groupings of graves. No names or other markings are on the rough fieldstones that make up the low walls of the memorial, and the city records apparently do not list who is buried there. The memorial is made to look casual with mortar hidden within the stacking of fieldstones that preserve the careful stonework. Click on the Anderson links, above, to see some views of the enclosure.]
