Nathan Bradley I was born 1631 in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States to John Bradley (1614-c.1600) and Katherine Bexwicke (15741643) and died 26 July 1701 Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States of unspecified causes. He married Mary Evans (1640-1711) 17 May 1666 in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States.
After his marriage the first record that we have of him was a purchase for 2 acres of land and a house of the Great Lots in Dorchester. He was the first Bradley in America to have an occupation on record which was that of Sexton of Dorchester in 1668. His job was to ring the bell and to clean the meeting house of Dorchester as well as to carry water for baptism; and as long as there was a bell to ring, he was paid 4 pounds a year. He was also one of the first people in North America to to start marking cider.
Richard Evans was born in 1614 in Chiswick, England and died in 1662 in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He married in 1641 in Dorchester to Mary Morgan who was born in 1610 and died about 1673. The surname Evans and Morgan are both of Welsh origin and Evans means “son of Evan” and the Greek spelling is Evangelos. In the old Welsh language the v was pronounced as an f and was a patronymic name or an original name of Wals so it had “ab” or “ap” in front of it. The name Evans in old Welsh was spelled “ab or ap Ifan.” There is also a similarity of the old Welsh name Ifan and the Slavic name Ivan. The name Evans is popular not only in Wales but is also numerous in Cornwall, England.
