This is a copy of the E-Mail I sent
Yes the Lyford cemetary is still accessible Directions:
Leave Newport heading towards Corinna on RT 7 approx 1 1/2Miles take road by Nokomis High School (Williams Road)to Nokomis Road take right to intersection on RT43 go straight thru the road is approx 1/3 mile long the cemetary is on the left. Go thru the gate 1st gate nad straight towards the back of the cemetary the stone is about 2/3rds of the way. Hannah on front Samuel on back.
I am not a decendant of them. My gr-gr-gr grandparents are the other Bradfords buried in this cemetary 2 generations of them.
As I said in other Note I came across a Capt. William buried in Brownville but this appears to be an unmarked grave. The burial list mentioned Wife Hannah. I have walked the Palmyra Cemetary's and never came across a William Bradford.

You asked in the E-Mail if my relation were Decendants of Gamaliel Bradford. Yes Peter Bradford was a Son he had a twin brother. Peter came to the Vassalboro area and eventually settled in the Readfield area. I have not been able to find their graves. The Martin Bradford was their son and Peter A. was a grandson. The next generation is buried in Newport Albert my grandfather and George his brother are in two lots across from the maintenance shop on the other end of the road. Philip, Charles and Bess are Albert's Children. Malcolm and 3 unmarked graves are Philip,s boy,s

Your Martin and my William were 1st cousins, so I guess that makes us "Cousins" of some degree of "removed" status. Both branches had GeorgeS.'s born in 1839 which caused me a bit of confusion early on in my research.

I have posted images of the documents I mentioned in my email on my public tree: The Gamaliel Bradford Maine Land Grant Family Tree, if you haven't seen the originals in the Maine Archives. I have only posted some info and people there so far, and have not included any family that did not come to Maine.
