- Henry, son of James, is believed to have been one of the sons of James enumerated in the 1790
U. S. Census. The first official record on which Henry’s name appears in the 1800 census that lists him in Liberty Co., South Carolina In those days Liberty Co. included the area north of Lynches Creek which served as the boundary line between Liberty and Williamsburg Counties, both at that time a part of Marion District. Mention is made of the location of Liberty County on Lynches Creek, because it was on Lynches Lake, near Lynches Creek in Williamsburg Co., that Benjamin Bradham is first found in 1810. (See Chap. VI, Benjamin Bradham of of Williamsburg Co.) However, the relation or kinship between Henry, Sr., and Benjamin could not be established for lack of documentation. The 1800 United States Census shows Henry, Sr., in Liberty Co. with a family of two boys and one girl all under ten years of age. Henry and his wife, Lydia were both between 16 and 26 years old, which is inconsistent with their ages given in the 1830 United States Census. Sometime before 1810, Henry moved to the Jack’s Creek area of Clarendon Co., St. Mark’s Parish, Sumter District. By this time we no longer find James Randolph Bradham and his wife in St. James Goose Creek; in fact we do not find them again, and it poses some questions. Had Henry, being the oldest son, moved earlier to Jack’s Creek to be near his siblings and ailings parents? In any event, Henry’s parents must have died before 1810. It looks as though Henry had taken into his family his brothers: William, now around 10 or 11 years old, and Abijah Randolph who would have been a little boy between ages 2 and 5. The 1810 census enumerates Henry and his wife (both 26 to 45 years), 3 males under 10 years (Leonard D. born ca. 1802, Abijah Randolph born ca. 1805-8, and Lionel born ca. 1809), 2 males 10 to 16 (Henry, Junior. born ca. 1790 and William born ca. 1798-1800), and one female under ten (name unknown), and another female 16 to 26 (name unknown), who either married or died before 1820.
