6 William Bradley married (second) Elizabeth - , and had children:

• 5. Daniel , born, probably, in 1634 , drowned in December, 1653 , while attempting to cross the river; he left no children, and the court divided his property between his brothers and sister, giving William a half-share, because he was only a half-brother.
• 6. Joshua , born in 1636 .
• 7. Ellen , married John Alling .
• 8. Nathan , born in 1638 .
• 9. Stephen , see forward.

These children were probably all born in England , as there is no record of the father in this country.

After the death of her husband she brought her younger children with her to America , the elder having earlier joined their half-brother here. Later she removed to Guilford with Nathan and Stephen , and married (second) John Parmlee , of that town, who died November 8, 1659 ; she married (third) May 27, 1663 , John Evarts , of Guilford , who died May 10, 1669 , and she died January, 1683 .
