Bradford Almy was an early pioneer westward, and first bought 1,800 acres of land in the township of Brokenstraw, Bradford County, PA, but a little later came to Covert, Seneca County, NY, where other members of his family had settled. There was patriotic blood in his veins, and in 1812 he enlisted, served honorably, and was twice wounded at Lundy's Lane. In the then primitive condition of surgery, the bullets could not be removed from his body, though he passed much time in hospitals and suffered several operations. He died in Ithaca, at No. 53 North Aurora Street, while his son, the father of Judge Almy, was a child.
