Bradford Genealogy & History

Bradford is a locational English name, derived from Old English "brad", meaning broad, and "ford", meaning ford. Bradford family history begins in Yorkshire, where they have held a family seat (feudal home) since ancient times. Other Bradford locations are found in Derbyshire, Devonshire, Dorset, Northumberland, Somerset, and Willshire. American Bradford genealogy includes William Bradford, who emigrated in 1621 from Yorkshire on the Mayflower and was chosen leader of the Pilgrims upon the death of John Carver, whereupon he became the second governor of Plymouth colony. The Bradford coat of arms is a wolf's head on a silver shield, denoting valiant captains. The Bradford motto, "fier et sage", means proud and wise.
