June ___, 1662 (according to Caulkin's HISTORY OF NEW LONDON, p. 278m, which probably refers to the date of its recording in that town), or April 3, 1662 (according to a genealogical article by Annie Haxtun in the MAIL AND EXPRESS, N. Y. City, Oct. 23, 1897, which probably gives real date of death), at 'Flushen' (Flushing), Long Island, N.Y., where an inventory of 'his boat and sea clothing' was taken.He first made his appearance in New London in 1654 and was a mariner plying his vessel to ports along the sound.Peter Bradley's home lot in New London was originally John Gallup's; it was situated east of Town (now Main) Street, between the location of the present Federal Street and State Street and sloped down to a marsh where is now located Water Street.This home lot was appraised in the inventory of Peter Bradley at only 30 pounds.The Bradley house was near the north end of this lot with a lane leading to the house from Town (Main) Street.In more recent times the Bradley house was known as the Shackmaple house.North of this, and originally a part of the Bradley lot, was the homestead of Daniel Wetherell (where later was the Pool property)."
