Notes:

Jabez was a soldier in the French and Indian War and, in fact, appears to have died in battle.
According to War 1675-1775 Colonial, Volume 1, a Jabez Bradley was in private service in 1757 (original Vol VII, entry 21a).
I was given permission to examine the original document that contained the reference to Jabez in private service, titled Vol 7 French War. It appears to be a log of fiscal and supply activity at Fort William Henry around 1757. From the page where Jabez is mentioned is:
(Page Heading) In Colony of Connecticut to Capt. (??) and
the company under his command and Lt. Joseph Pitkins
Regiment for their service at the time of the alarm for
relief of Fort William Henry and parts adjacent August, Anno
1757
(...)

Huntington, Jabez Bradley,...31 Privates in Service 14 days

This section obviously is a record of payments made.
The Archives probate index lists Jabez Bradley of Tolland, dated 1758, Hartford District.
I examined the microfilm pertaining to that entry, and found the following:
An inventory of the estate of Jabez Bradley. It reads, in part:

Hartford County Tolland October 10th 1758.
We the subscribers hereunto, being desired to apprise the
estate of Jabez Bradley late of Tolland dec. and being under
oath have apprised the same as hereafter particularly we
have entered the same.

At the bottom of the document are the signatures of three men, the "apprisors". Assumedly, the above valuations are in Pounds, Shillings, and (Pence?). The total valuation appears to be around 530 Pounds. This inventory appears on one 9 by 12 inch sheet. On a separate microfilm page, but what may be the reverse side of the inventory, is a note that Hannah and Jabez (Jr) Bradley apparently filed the inventory with the court.
There was also a document dated 5 January 1759 that appears to be a performance bond for the executors of Jabez's estate, Hannah and Josiah Bradley. Essentially, they paid 300 pounds bond to the Judge as surety for the execution of the estate, with a final accounting due the court by the 5th of January 1760.
The document is signed by the marks of Hannah Bradley, Josiah Bradley, and Henry Bradley. The document is a pre-printed form, with names and dates handwritten.
According to "Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War", Volume II (Collections of the CT Historical Society Vol X), Jabez either "Dyed, Deserted, or Captivated" on 14 September,1758. Since he never returned home, it is probably safe to say that he did not desert. Therefore, I believe it is proper to assume that he died on that day, or very soon afterward. He is listed as having been in the 12th Company under Captain Chapman.

Jabez married Hannah (Bush) King on 15 Dec 1749 in Tolland, CT. Hannah died on 30 Jun 1797. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

George's estate was valued at 2,800 pounds (a rather large sum).
It's hard to say what the story is on George. The year of his birth, give or take one, can be fixed by his tombstone and is consistent with his age at death (about 74). His year of death is indisputable (despite what his tombstone may have said about dying in 1746). However, here is a man that did not marry until 50 years of age, and fathered children until the age of 66!
It is probable that George was born in England. We know that a George Bradley left London for Barbados in 1784, making him about 17 or 18 years old. This was an appropriate age for suchan event, since he was bound to a master for three years.
A birth record for a George Bradley in Scamblesby, Lincoln, England on 29 July 1666 has been found. This would be a perfect birth time for our George; however,we have little else to goon. The parents of this England George were George and Ann Bradley. He may also have had a brother Nathaniel, born 23 April 1664.

Birth:
Based on the reported inscription on his tombstone that stated he died at 74 years of age; 1741 minus 74 is 1667. Other sources, for various reasons, state 1687 as more likely (see:Ancestors of Morris A. Bradley)
