Processing Information
W.C. Bradley served as the executor of several estates and the guardian and power-of-attorney of others including:
His brother-in-law, Henry T. Hall, who died in 1903
His niece, Minnie Hunt Hall, whose guardian he was made by her father, Henry T. Hall
His brother-in-law, James Thornton Nuckolls, the husband of his sister Emma Jemima Bradley Nuckolls, who died in 1910
His sister, Emma Jemima Bradley Nuckolls, who died in 1924
His wife, Sarah Hall Bradley who died in December of 1937
His nephew, James Terry Nuckolls, the son of Bradley’s sister, Emma J. Bradley Nuckolls, who died in 1940. His nephew actually appointed his wife, Willie Chaney Nuckolls as the official executrix, but Bradley was deeply involved in administering the estate to the extent of being the de-facto executor.
This series is subdivided by the names of the individuals for whom he served in these capacities, whether as executor, guardian or power-of-attorney. The records are filed alphabetically by name of person and thereunder chronologically.
