Bradley ancestors established Loango plantations
By Curtis Thomasson
The Andalusia Star-News""One of the earliest and most prosperous families to settle in Covington County were the Bradleys. Four Bradley families along with their cousin, David Mitchell, and his family arrived as a large caravan in 1822. They had left Sumpter County, South Carolina, and traveled through Georgia and most of Alabama to reach this area.
The Bradleys located first around Montezuma, but relocated in Loango when Montezuma declined during the flooding and related problems. In 1823, they along with David Mitchell purchased 2,240 acres of the best available land in the area. Records indicate these families brought as many as 150 slaves with them. (David Mitchell was the son of William James and Janette (Bradley) Mitchell.""
""One of the early families was that of William Bradley. He was married in 1822 to Martha Dauphin/Daffin in Clark County. They were enumerated during the censuses from 1830 through 1860. ""
""William was active in the Primitive Baptist Church. From 1831 to 1840, he represented Shiloh Church at the Beckbee, Bethlehem, and Conecuh River Association meetings. From 1841 to 1850, he represented the Union Primitive Baptist Church at the Conecuh River Association meetings.
William was also a leader in his community. From 1826 to 1832, he served in the 46th. Regt. (Covington and Dale Counties) 11th. Brigade, 4th. Division, Ala. Militia. In 1829, he was made Captain for Beat One, and in 1831, he became Vice Lt. for Beat Two Company. In 1844, he was appointed Constable for Beat Number One. He was probably the W. Bradley listed as a registered voter in 1867.""
