BiographyEdward Bradley was born in Sumner County, Tennessee.[2] During the American Revolution, Bradley served as colonel of Hale's Regiment of Militia.[3] He served as Lieutenant Colonel in the 15th Regiment of the Tennessee Volunteers during the War of 1812.[4] He also served in the war against the Creek nation in 1813.[5] Although much is unknown about Bradley, he was a horse racing enthusiast, having helped construct a track in Nashville and create a Jockey Club there,[5] and was friends with Andrew Jackson, with whom he co-owned race horses.[2] Bradley moved to Shelby County, Tennessee around 1820.[2] He was also a landowner in Davidson County.[5] Bradley served on the Shelby County Court until his death in 1829.[2] After Bradley's death, a movement arose to perpetuate his memory. The Tennessee General Assembly created Bradley County on February 10, 1836, naming it in his honor.[1] See also
