Bernardus Bradt
by
Stefan Bielinski


Bernardus Bradt (also Barnardus) was born in September 1704. He was the son of Albany-based trader Daniel and Elizabeth Lansing Bradt. His father died during the 1720s.

In January 1735, Bernardus married eastern Albany native Catharina Van Vechten at the Albany Dutch church. By 1750, seven children had been christened in Albany.

Bernardus Bradt was an overland transporter and contractor who set up his home in the first ward where he was identified as a freeholder as early as 1742. In 1737, he is said to have occupied a property on South Pearl Street at the foot of Gallows hill with Gerrit Bradt.

He also held property in the eastern part of Albany County. In October 1741, Johannes Van Vechten conveyed "all of his lands" in the "Hosick" Patent to Bradt and two other sons-in-law. Bradt's heirs still held claim to that parcel into the nineteenth century. During the 1760s, he held a lease for land at Schaghticoke and another one in Rensselaerswyck. In 1767, he sold three slaves.

He performed some services for the city, was elected assistant alderman - first in 1746, and was the captain of the city's militia company during the 1750s and 60s. In 1751, he acquired a share of the cross-river ferry. He held that franchise for many years before his son, Daniel, joined him in 1758. His daughter, Maria, married future ferryman Thomas Lottridge.

In his seventies at the onset of hostilities, he had relinquished his militia commission. His support of the American cause was nominal and probably only financial. However, his sons were counted among Albany's patriots. After his holdings were assessed on the tax lists for 1779, the name of Bernardus Bradt appears to have dropped from Albany rolls.

According to subsequent litigation, "Barnardus Bradt" had died in 1786.

From History of Rensselaer County, New York, p. 262

On a map of Hoosick Patent, dated 1754, appear other names; among them Bovie, Vanderrick, Huyck, Brimmer, Kott, and Roberts. Among very early settlers also were Breese, Fonda, and Onderkirk. Here also, at the place where the Harlem Extension Railroad crosses the Troy and Boston line, lived Barnardus Bratt, who on the 17th of January, 1735, married Catharyne Van Vechten, daughter of Johannes Van Vechten, and grand-daughter of Garret Garret Tennisse Van Vechten, one of the original proprietors of the Hoosick Patent; thus acquiring by marriage and by hase from ether heirs a large interest in the lands held under that patent. Mr. Bratt's large landed estate, great wealth, and assumption of manorial rights gave him a distinguished social position, and the title of "Patroon of Hoosick.'' He built the first saw-mill and the first gristmill erected in the district. They were built on a small brook which ran through the lateral valley before mentioned, and emptied into the Hoosick near his own dwelling. These mills were burned, and a large quantity of grain, lumber, and other property destroyed by some of the invading bands of French and Indians. The mills were rebuilt and run for many years. The old mill-stones may still be seen near the premises, interesting relics of that olden time.

In early limes, before the erection of this mill, grain was taken to Albany to be ground, sometimes on foot, sometimes on horseback but always with toil, danger, and suffering, characteristic of heroic limes. The Sons of Barnardus Bratt were Daniel, of Hoosick Corners, John, of Bushkirk's Bridge; Gerrit Tennise, of Hoosick Corners; and Henry, of Albany. The daughters wen Maria, Mrs. Robert Lottridge; and Elizabeth, who married her cousin, John Bratt. In this last-named family were two daughters -- Catharina, who married Nicholas Groesbeck, and Christina, who married Cornelius Van Buskirk. Each of these husbands succeeded to valuable farms in the Hoosick Valley, as heirs of the old Barnardus Bratt
estate.

NY Public Library has collection of papers:
"
The Bratt family papers relate chiefly to extensive land holdings in the city of Albany and surrounding area, the Town of Greenbush and Hoosick Patent in Rensselaer County. In addition there are last wills and testaments of various family members and genealogical notes that reveal much information about the family and the historical setting in which the documents were created.
The principal figures in the papers are Daniel Bratt (1672-1733), his son Bernardus (b.1704), Bernardus's son Hendrick (b.1750), and Hendrick's son Henry (b.1785). Of particular interest are (1) a 1709 document of Barent Albertsz Bratt (two years later than any other we have seen for him), (2) the fact that formal documents were still being written in Dutch in 1783, (3) the purchase by Daniel Bratt of the sawmill on the Normanskill that had belonged to his father Barent and grandfather Albert (the original "Noorman"), (4) the rise of Bernardus Bratt from shoemaker to gentleman and his service in the French and Indian War, and (5) the activities of women in the family: Rachel Ryckman's schooling, Elisabeth Bratt's investing in land, and Elizabeth Helling's travelling to England. A curiosity is Neklas Bovie's birchbark note.

Henry B. Bradt
by
Stefan Bielinski


Henry B. Bradt was born in November 1750. He was the last child born to the marriage of Bernardus and Catharina Van Vechten Bradt. He grew up in the first ward home of a transporter and landholder who at one time shared the contract to operate the cross river ferry.

By January 1772 but perhaps not officially until more than a year later, he had married an Anna/Hannah David. By 1790, the marriage had produced nine children - some of whom were christened at the Albany Dutch church.

Although we have yet to connect him to specific wartime activities, afterwards, a "Henry Bradt" was granted land bounty right under the Albany militia regiment.

By 1788, the first ward house of Henry B. Bradt was valued on the city assessment roll. Two years later in 1790, his household included six boys under sixteen. In 1800, Henry and an older woman (perhaps he had re-married) still had three adolescent boys in their home. Anna probably was dead by that time as a receipt to Henry B. Bradt for funeral expenses for his wife from July 1794 is included in the Bradt family papers collection in the New York State Library.

In 1797, a list of freeholders for the first ward identified him as a "yeoman." Just after1800, his name no longer appeared on community-based documents.

By the time of publication of the first city directory in 1813, he seems to have left Albany. He seems to have held substantial land across the river in Greenbush. A "Henry B. Bradt" died in May 1823 and was buried in Hoosic. His estate took some time to be settled.
