Appendix A: Timeline of Events in Nathaniel’s Life Following is a timeline listing recorded events of Nathaniel Bradford’s life. Every record in any of the sources researched for this biography which mentions Nathaniel is accounted for in this timeline. All events occur in Northampton County before 1663, and in Accomack County from 1663 unless otherwise noted. After 1663, events that take place in other counties are highlighted in blue. Tithable lists are highlighted in green. Significant local or world events are highlighted in red. Since Nathaniel was born in or before 1637, his age in any given year on the table is listed as being greater than or equal to the age he would be had he been born in that year. The age listed for reference is merely a guide and must not be construed as Nathaniel’s actual age. For instance, in 1661 his age is listed “>=24”. This does not mean he was 24 years old in 1661, only that he must have been at least 24.
