MILDRED BRADLEY,
Heretofore Mildred Coleman. having in vain attempted to live with her husband, (if he can be entitled to that appellation) in New Kent (where however he had made no sort of provision for a family,) has, with his consent, under a promise that he would restore to her the little property he may justly be said to have robbed her of, but which, regardless of that promise, he now refuses to do. returned to Richmond, where, as she is, in consequence of the conduct of Mr. Bradley, destitute of say other means of subsistence, she has again resorted to the MANTUA MAKING BUSINESS for a support. She is thankful for the encouragement she has heretofore received, and will be grateful for a continuance of it. Her residence for the present, is opposite to Mr. Thomas Wilson’s office, where her business will be assiduously attended to,
Richmond, Nov. 7, 1805.

Researching the 1810 Census shows a Pleasant Bradley living in the county That census only listed the names of heads of households. The household breakdown was three males one between 10-15 years of age, another 16-25, and the third between 26-44. It also showed two women, one between 10-15 and the other 45 or older.
A question arises: Could this be the mother of our young wayward apprentice Daniel Bradley?
