8. Bridget 3 (Bradford) Addison Pearce Twiford (William 2 Nathaniel 1 ) Bridget 3 Bradford (William 2 Nathaniel 1 ), daughter of William 2 and Bridget (Fisher) Bradford, was born in Accomack County, Virginia, probably before 1706. 1 She married Nathan Addison by 28 April 1722, which is the date of a deed of gift for 300 acres from William 2 Bradford to “daughter Bridget Adason & her husband Nathan Adason.” 2 The deed was witnessed by Sacker Parker and William Tilney and the land is described as “ye Remaining part of my Land that I sold unto George Luker.” It was the remainder of William’s 500-acre tract at Pungoteague (as opposed to his land in Matchapungo Neck) and the 300 acres was entailed: to the heires of theare bodys Lawfully begoten.” In case Bridget had no heirs, the land was to pass to “my daughter Abagale Bradford. . . then to my next Eldest Daughter.” Bridget was also mentioned in her father’s will, dated 4 July 1735: “[my son Fisher Bradford] shall pay in the Lieu of the Negroe called Jack ten pounds Current money to Bridget Addison or else deliver her the Negroe the monyey to be payd within three years after the death of my Wife.” 3 Nathan Addison died before 2 May 1738, when administration on his estate was granted to Bridget Addison, with Isaac Riggs and John Hutchinson as security. 4 Bridget afterwards married John Pierce, who died before 29 Jan 1740, when administration on his estate was granted to Bridget Pearce, with Fisher 3 Bradford and Bartholomew Twiford as securities. 5 In a court order of 31 January 1740, Bridget is mentioned as “Bridget Pierce proprietor of the [Pungoteague] Warehouse,” a reference to the warehouse built on the land in William 2 Bradford’s day. 6 Sometime after Pierce’s death, Bridget married Bartholomew Twiford Jr. 7 Bridget 3 Bradford seems to have died before 1757, when Bartholomew Twiford attempted to sell the land he had inherited to John Hutchinson. According to Whitelaw, the sale did not go through, since the land was entailed and since the heir Elijah Addision was still living. 8 Nathan Addison was probably the son of John Addison Sr. of Northampton County, Virginia: ADDISON, JOHN, Sr. – 29 Dec. 1716 – 15 Jan. 1716/17 – To my son John Addison 150 A. whereon he now lives which was escheated by patent, and one seignum vitee punch bowl.
