Captain Bradley was born in Georgia prior to the American Revolution, but his family moved to Canada afterward. He grew up in New Brunswick and at age 22 joined the military.
He was a captain commanding a company in the 104th Regiment when the War of 1812 began and took part in the unprecedented 52-day forced march on snowshoes from Frederickton to Quebec City in 1813.
Following the war, he settled in March Township and was appointed magistrate.
