William Bradford was born 19 Mar 1589 in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England. We know him for his many years of being the governor of the Plymouth Colony and as a passenger on the ship Mayflower.
He was born in this home in Austerfield and later left it to eventually find religious freedom on the American Continent.
My great grandfather left Plymouth, Massachusetts to make is fortune in the California gold fields. Not many of the men who followed this particular dream stuck it rich as witnessed in this image. They made enough to survive until they could find other work.
Found an old tin-type photo of my great grandmother. Too bad the image continues to degrade, hence a hi-res scan to preserve it.
