Researcher's notes
This coffin plate was found in the U.S.
I then went and had a hunt for Lyman P Bradley in the 1860 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. Again I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.
1860 United States Federal Census
| Name | Home in 1860 (City, County, State) | Age in 1860 | Birth Year | Birthplace | Gender |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lyman G Bradley | Bristol, Hartford, CT | 42 | abt 1818 | Connecticut | Male |
| Lyman A Bradley | Woodbridge, New Haven, CT | 56 | abt 1804 | Connecticut | Male |
| Lyman Bradley | Hudson Ward 3, Columbia, NY | 49 | abt 1811 | New York | Male |
| Lyman Bradley | Spencer, Tioga, NY | 57 | abt 1803 | New York | Male |
| Lyman Bradley | Middlebury, Wyoming, NY | 45 | abt 1815 | New York | Male |
| Lyman T Bradley | Troy, Geauga, OH | 35 | abt 1825 | Not Stated | Male |
| Lyman Bradley | Sturgeon Bay, Door, WI | 50 | abt 1810 | New York | Male |
I like the Lyman Bradley, Middlebury, Wyoming, NY, 45, abt 1815, New York, Male. I think he may be a good candidate for the right Lyman. His age is spot on and I can not find him in the 1880 census. This is good as the Lyman we are looking for died in 1875.
