Biography

Barent Bradt was born in September 1633 in the Netherlands, and baptized October 22, 1634 at the Evangelical Lutheran church, Amsterdam, Noord Holland, Netherlands [1]. He died after 1716.[2]

Barent Bradt, son of Albert Andrieszoon Bradt and Annatje Barentse Van Rotmers, Albert from Norway, and Annetje from Germany, was baptised on 22 Oct 1634 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands at the Old Lutheran Church, [1] which had been founded in 1588 by German and Scandinavian merchants living in that city, and was finished being built in 1633, the year before Barent's baptism. [3][4]

Barent came to [the Dutch colony in] America with his parents in 1637. Growing up on his fathers Rensselaerswyck farm, he learned the mechanics of farming, milling, and trading. Those skills enabled him to represent his father and then establish himself in the new village of Beverwyck. [4]

Barent Bradt wed Susanna Dircks(e) Meyer in Oct 1656 in Rensselaerswyck. Susanna bore him ten children.

The marriage suffered from Barents intemperate behavior which led to several court appearances on battery and assault charges! Barent derived his income from sawing, probably at his fathers Normanskill mill. At the same time, he sought to take part in the fur trade . He sought acceptance in now Albany by joining the Dutch church. However, he found trading difficult as his family was fined several times for illegal trading. Instead, Barent Albertse found success in real estate, acquiring several parcels and using boards cut at the Bradt mill to build houses in Albany and outside the stockade. By 1682, he was living outside the north gate. In 1684 , his Albany taxes were in arrears. Fives years later, he was listed among the farmers employed by Marte Gerritse but was assessed no money for defence. Raising a large family, he also was the guardian of a number of related children and a frequent baptism sponsor for family members and neighbors. By the 1690s, he had become an Albany mainstay. He served on juries and as firemaster and roadmaster. In 1697, Barent, Susanna, and one child were living in his Market Street house just outside the north gate. Assessment rolls for ensuing years place him among the moderately wealthy Albany householders. He also acquired lots at Halfmoon and Schaghticoke. Barent Albertse Bradt disappeared from Albany rolls after 1712. His four sons further established the Bradt name in Albany and its hinterland. [4]

I believe you meant Bradt-714. I am connecting the profile, but it is rather basic profile that greatly needs better sourcing and a real biography.

Bradt-241 and Bradt-5 appear to represent the same person because: This recently created duplicate is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain now ready to merge into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts. Thanks!
