Biography

Bradford was enslaved by Milford Twiman of the Cleveland Family in Versailles, Kentucky. He had at least one son, George Henderson. George had five siblings, but it is unknown whether these were all the children of Bradford Henderson. He had a watchdog named Brutus, whom he had trained to sit and keep watch wherever he placed his hat. Bradford sometimes would hunt for possums and rabbits while carrying his son, George, on his back. It is unknown if he was married, but at least one child, George, took the same surname as him.
