William A. Bradley

William A. Bradley (? - August 28, 1867) was mayor of Washington, D.C. from 1834 to 1836.

Once the Cashier for the Bank of Washington, Bradley was postmaster for the city of Washington in the 1850s until removed by Franklin Pierce in 1853 [ [http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/hlaw:@field(DOCID+@lit(ej00952)) Senate Executive Journal -TUESDAY, December 20, 1853 ] ] . In 1855 he purchased Analostan Island (now Theodore Roosevelt Island), part of the land holdings of Virginia patriot George Mason, and used the estate as an entertainment resort [http://www.gunstonhall.org/landholdings/landholdinglinks.htm] . Although it was used as a hospital during the U.S. Civil War, Bradley afterwards used it as a resort again until his 1867 death

In addition, Bradley was a director for the original Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Company, chartered in 1850. [ [http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=118 Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Marker ] ]
