Bratt. Two brothers f this name, Arent Andriese, and Albert Andriese, were among the early settlers of Albany. The former settled in Schenectady with his family in 1662, and became the progenitor of the families of this name in that city and vicinity; the latter remained in Albany. [Note. Some of the Bratts belonged to the Lutheran Church of Albany, whose ancient records are lost. Such children as were christened there, will not be found here.] Bratt, Albert Andriese, de Noorman, had a farm and mill on the Norman's kill, which took its name from him. In 1672, his son Barent succeeded him in the occupation of the mill, and in 1677 Teunis Slingerland, his son-in-law, succeeded to the lease of his farm. He died, according to Dr. O'Callaghan, the 7th June, 1686, "een van de oudste en eerste in woonders der Colonie Rensselaerswyck." His first wife of Annetie Barentse Van Rotmers, who was deceased in 1662. On the 24th Oct., 1670, the governor gave an order for the separation of Albert Andriese and Geertruy Vosburgh because "strife and difference hath arisen between them." His children, all by his first wife probably, were Barent; Eva, the first wife of Antony de Hooges, and second of Roeloff Swartwout of Esopus; Storm alias Storm Albertse Vanderzee; Engeltie, wife of Teunis Slingerland of Oniquathaw; Gisseltie, wife of Jan Van Eechelen; Andries; Jan; Dirk.

Bratt, Barent Albertse, lived in 1700 without the North Gate just west of the Main Guard, near or on the east corner of Steuben street and Broadway, and had frequent warnings from the Common Council not to fence in certain grounds there belonging to the city.

Bratt, Dirk Albertse, was living in Albany as late as 1678; his children, if he had any, have not been met with in the records of the Dutch church.
