Aelffen Bradt died in 1689, in Hurley Ulster, New York. Albert Andriessen ‘de Noorman’ Bradt (Bratt) was born on the 26th of August 1607 in Fredrikstad, Ostfold, Norway. He married three times, first to Annetje Barents Van Rottmer on the 11th of April 1632 at the Dutch Reformed church in Amsterdam, he married Pieterje Jans the widow of his former partner in 1663, after her death in 1667, his third wife was Geertruy Coeymans Vosburgh - another widow. He is one of two children born to Andries Arentse Bradt and Aefje Eva Kinetis. His sibling was Arendt Andriessen De Noorman Bratt. At the time of his first marriage, he was twenty-four years old and gave his occupation as "a sailor in the merchant marine." The marriage produced at least eight children born before Anna's death in 1661. Coming to New Netherland in 1637, he was the patriarch of the Bradt family in America. In 1632, Albert Andriessen immigrated to America to serve at Rensselaerswyck, a plantation in the upper Hudson Valley. Settling along a steam south of Fort Orange later named "The Normanskill" in his honor, he was a woodcutter, sawyer, and tobacco planter. Two of his children are listed in Albany Households - March 1679 and June 1697. (http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/census1679.html_ By the 1790 Census there are 21 Bradt Families living in the Albany area. Albert Bradt died on the 17th of June 1686 in Albany, Herkimer County British North America. Andries Arentse Bradt was born in 1578 in Fredrikstad, Ostfold, Norway. He married Aefje Eva Kinetis in 1606 in Fredrikstad, Ostfold, Norway. He is the only known child of Arent Bradt and unknown wife. Andries died in 1690 in Schenectady, New York The Bradts were a large and successful Norwegian-ancestry family of New Netherland. The Bradts of early Albany are descended from brothers known as Albert and Arent Andriesse who came to America in 1637. The family settled in Rensselaerswyck and within a generation established households in Albany, Schenectady, and throughout what became Albany County in 1683. Raising a large family around his mill on the Normanskill, the Bradts prospered in farming, husbandry (chiefly sawing), and found some success in the fur trade as well. By the time of his death in 1686, Albert Andriesse had joined his grown sons as residents of the new city of Albany. His younger brother Arent was among the pioneers of the village of Schenectady. In 1679, four Bradt households were listed on the Albany census including that of Albert's son, Storm Van Der Zee, who was born during the family's Atlantic crossing four decades earlier. Two brothers of this name, — Albert Andriese and Arent Andriese, were among the early settlers of Albany. (93-2) They often were called De Noorman or De Sweedt. The former remained in Albany and is the ancestor of most of the name in that county; the latter became one of the first proprietors of Schenectady in 1662, about which time he died, leaving a widow and six children. His wife was Catalyntjè, daughter of Andries De Vos, deputy director of Rensselaerswyck. After the death of her husband, the grants of land allotted to him were confirmed to her. Albert Andriessen, or Albert Andriessen Bradt [Bratt] was one of the earliest Norwegian settlers in New Netherland. He came from Fredrikstad, a town at the mouth of the Glommen, the largest river in Norway. In the early records he is often called Albert de Noorman (the Norwegian). After 1670 he became known as Albert Andriesz Bradt. Whether he was related to the Bratts of Norwegian nobility, can not be ascertained. The Bratt family lived in Bergen, Norway, before the early part of the fifteenth century, when it moved to the northern part of Gudbrandsdalen. It had a coat of arms until about the middle of the sixteenth century. Since that time the Bratts belong to the Norwegian peasantry. They have a number of large farms in Gudbrandsdalen, Hedemarken, Toten, and Land.' In the state of New York there are many families of the name of Bradt, descendants of the pioneer from Fredrikstad.
