Excerpt from The New York Press and Its Makers, in the Eighteenth Century
He ended his life of uneventful usefulness in 1752: his age being given by differing authori ties as ninety and ninety-four. His chipped and stained tombstone, now carefully pre served in the entrance hall of the Historical Society of New York, gives it as ninety-two, and the date of his birth as l66o - an error of the mason, doubtless. This stone was re-i placed by a new one on the occasion of the memorial service in Trinity Church - of which Bradford was a vestryman - on May 20, 1863, when the Historical Society celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of the printer's birth. The new stone, standing above his grave in Trinity burial ground, is an exact copy of the original stone, save that it is a trifle larger. The Historical Society has also placed a tablet in the wall of the Cotton Exchange, on the corner of Hanover Square and William Street, marking the site of the building from which Bradford issued his new-york Gazette, and commemorating the two-hundredth anni versary of the introduction of printing into New York, on April 10, 1693.
