Poe and Bradley Families

 

Introduction: The connection between the Bradley and Poe family is difficult to decipher. Almost certainly there is a relationship through marriage.  Perhaps the wife of the William Poe found in Caroline County, VA in the latter quarter of the 18th Century is married to a Bradley. There also are indications that some Thomas Poe of Spotsylvania County, VA married a Bradley woman in the late 1700s.
