Isaac Bradbury was born on July 11th, 1787 in Buxton, ME to Elijah Bradbury and Sarah Lane. He was the fifth of eight children. There is limited information until his marriage to Abigail Small Lane on March 8th, 1812 in Hiram, ME.


Their first child, William Lane, was born on November 12th, 1812 in Brownfield, ME. Their second child, Elizabeth H., was born 5 years later on October 21st, 1817 in Brownfield, ME. Sarah, their third child, was born on August 27th, 1820 also in Brownfield, ME. The 1820 U.S. Census shows Isaac living and farming with his family in Brownfield.

Isaac and Abigail's forth child, Mary Ann, was born on March 21st, 1823 in Brownfield, ME. Their next child, Joanna C. was born in May 2nd, 1825 in Hiram, ME. They had a son Jebez was born on March 12th, 1827 and died on July 6t, 1827 in Hiram, ME. On November 9th, 1829, Alcia Jane was born in Hiram, ME. The 1830 U.S. Census shows Isaac and family living in Oxford, ME.

Isaac and Abigail had four more children between 1830 and 1840. Jabez was born on March 2nd, 1831 in Hiram, ME. Annie M. was born on March 9th, 1833 in Haynesville, ME. Back in Hiram again, Louisa was born on April 9th, 1835. Their final child, Isaac Henry, was born on July 14th, 1837 in Haynesville, ME. The 1840 U.S. Census shows the family living in Range 2, Township 2 of Aroostook County, ME. I've had a bit of a challenge converting this to a town, but suspect it is Haynesville, ME.

The 1850 U.S. Census still shows the family living in Haynesville, ME. Isaac is shown as being 64 years old, born around 1786 in Maine. He is living with Abilgail(56), William(38), Sarah(28), Joanna(25), Jane (22), Jabez(19), Annie M.(17), Louisa(15) and Isaac H(13). By the 1860 U.S Census, most of the family have moved or it could be that Isaac and Abigail moved in with their daughter. Isaac is 74 and listed as born in 1786 in New Brunswick. I think this is the sign of a lazy census taker, as they seem to have put New Brunswick for most entries. He is listed as being a farmer with $800 worth of real estate and $100 worth of Personal Estate. They are living with their son Isaac Henry (23), daughter Ann, son-in-law William Russell(27) and grandchildren Mary A. Russell(5), Emma M. Russell(3), Jason(3/12) and Jebez(3/12). There is further information from the Non-Population Census of 1850 and 1860.

Isaac died sometime between 1860 and 1870, possibly in Haynesville. There is current no record of were he is buried.
