St Stephens, Demopolis and Cahaba are the Alabama Land offices that registered land patents the areas each office covered changed over the years. Demopolis - first entry made July 15 1833, St Stephens opened Dec 24, 1806, Cahaba was originally at Milledgeville, GA and moved to Cahaba and opened Oct 20, 1818. The areas covered by the various offices changed from time to time as did the Alabama county borders. Therefor land now in Clarke CO, AL could have been in Monroe and part of Dallas and Monroe made up Wilcox Co., AL. In order to fully understand the dynamics of the above land transactions each needs to be plotted to determine in which county they were when granted and where they now lie and what was the disposition of these lands during the life of Brazil and Nathaniel and what happened to them at the death of the BRADFORDS. Noted is the first entry for Brazil R Bradford on Dec 6 1816. When this is received from the national archives it may lead to the relationship of Brazil to his father, Thomas and his other siblings .
