Bradley and Mary's 1st child Arthur is born in Onondaga County in 1875. The 1875 NYS Census shows Mary and Arthur are staying with her parents Daniel and Harriet Smith in Onondaga County, NY. For a period of time he works as a farm laborer but on June 15 1889 his father Isaac leases his farm of 76.5 acres to Bradley with stipulations on maintenance of the farm and providing care for Isaac and Eliza. The 1892 NYS Census shows Bradley and his family residing at his father's farm who has now retired. On March 16, 1893 his father dies and his will allows Bradley the use of the farm until Bradley's death at which time the farm passes to Isaac's son Otis and daughter Juliette. Census enumerations show Bradley and his wife remain on the farm until about 1913 when he moves to Manlius and resides with his son until his death.
