I am writing in particular about two entries in Rensselaer Cty for the 1860 census. Michael Bradley in 9 W Troy p. 816 and Michael Bradey in Hoosick p 761. I would appreciate hearing whether there is a connection or not, so I can eliminate this name from my search.

I am searching for my 2nd great grandfather and family: Michael L. Bradley b Ireland betw 1822-27 m Mary Abel b Canada 1836.

They had 8 children and 7 were alive in 1900. Here are the names I have: Margaret A., Andrew, Mary, Franklin, Michael H. and possibly Teresa (although she may be a g daughter).

They migrated from Canada to NY in abt 1854 and at least some of the children moved to Minnesota in the ?late 1870s.

Michael and Mary are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Mpls.
