** c/o Dr. Charles Mettauer Bradbury +1905-1908+ (b. 1862 - d. 1930 Forest Hill, Richmond, VA);
*** Dr. Bradbury was employed as a food chemist for the state department; wife Cora Blanche Lafferty Bradbury (b. Pittsburgh, PA); m. 1893 at Kanayawa, Japan, officiated by Rev. T.C. Winn. Charles' father was John W. Bradbury (1827-1904), and his grandfather was Samuel Bradbury, whose wife Sarah was a grand-daughter of William Leighton (1723-1793).
William Leighton fought in the American Revolutionary War, and "assisted in raising and equipping the 112 men who, at the call of Warren, marched from Kittery under command of his cousin, Capt. Samuel Leighton, to join the army at Cambridge in April 1775." It was also written that he was "a zealous patriot... prominent in arousing the patriotic spirit of the people." He was a Selectman from 1770-1776 of the town of Eliot (Kittery), Maine, and member of a congress of York Co., Maine. This data originated from ''Leighton Genealogy'' by T.F. Jordan, via a 1923 application from Dr. Bradbury's son Frank M. (a Richmond attorney in the 1920's) towards a membership in the Virginia chapter of Sons of the American Revolution via [https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2204/images/32596_242199-00438 Ancestry.com].
There's also a story on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Leighton Wikipedia] about William Leighton's ancestor Dr. Alexander Leighton (b. 1570 Glasgow, Scot. - d. 1672 Dover, NH) writing a pamphlet in 1628 that criticized bishops presiding over the Church of Scotland, which led to imprisonment and torture under the reign of King Charles I.
