More sources

A quick internet search turned up this [1] that has more information on Bradish. The sources mentioned there are unclear on how they relate to Bradish.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:16, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing entire article; former article was poorly sourced and too full of errors for a simple rewrite.

Former article needed too much work to bother rewriting it, so I began fresh and wrote an entirely new one. Problems in the old article:

Bradish was not one of Kidd's company
Bradish was aboard Adventure, not Adventure Galley (which was Kidd's)
Bellomont wrote that Pierson voluntarily surrendered the loot
Treasure was almost all recovered (instead of "never found")
Kidd and Bradish didn't sail together a year later, they were both in jail by this time
Bradish captured in Boston, recaptured in Maine, not NY
Most of the article was apparently paraphrased from this site, which reprinted it from "East Hampton History," by Jeannette Edwards Rattroy. Country Life Press, Garden City, NY, 1953.

Easier to start from scratch.
