He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the sixth of seven men named Gamaliel Bradford in unbroken succession, of whom the first, Gamaliel Bradford, was a great-grandson of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Colony. His grandfather, Dr. Gamaliel Bradford of Boston, was a noted abolitionist.

Gamaliel Bradford VI was the son of Gamaliel Bradford V, a banker, writer, and reformer, and Clara Crowninshield Kinsman. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was three, and he was in part reared by his aunt, Sarah Hickling Bradford.
