Thomas Bradley settled just west of the present Caldwell Elementary School in 1846, on a 160 acre headright grant. Bradley Street, which runs 200 feet east of his old homestead was named for him. He was a veteran of the Mexican War, who had lost his left leg in the war and had to ride a lady's side-saddle when on horseback. Despite the handicap, he was a fine horseman and dealt in fine livestock. Excerpt from "The Way It All Began- McKinney, Texas".
