Notes

...Albert Andriesz was from Frederickstadt, a village at the mouth of the Glommen River in Norway, hence, in the early records, his designation as Noorman. After 1670 he became known as Albert Andriesz Bradt. He settled in New Netherland in 1637 and had a farm and mill on the Norman's Kil which took its name from him. By all accounts, Albert was not a very pleasant character, but because of this, a great paper trail exists telling of his life in detail.
...The name of Albert Andriessen occurs for the first time in a document bearing the date August 26, 1636. It is an agreement between him and two others with the patroon of the colony of Rensselaerswyck (in New Amsterdam), Kiliaen van Rennsselare, and was signed in Amsterdam. It states that Bradt's occupation was a tobacco planter and that he was 29 years old.
...In the name of the Lord, Amen. On conditions hereafter specified, we, Pieter Cornelissen van munnickendam, millwright, 43 years of age, Claesz jans van naerden, 33 years of age, house carpenter, and albert andriessen van fredrickstadt, 29 years of age, tobacco planter, have agreed among ourselves, first, to sail in God's name to New Netherland in the small vessel which now lies ready and to betake ourselves to the colony of Rensselaers wyck for the purpose of settling there on the following conditions made with Mr. Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, as patroon of the said colony, etc.
...Thus done and passed, in good faith, under pledge of our persons and property subject to all courts and justices for the fulfillment of what is aforewritten, at Amsterdam, this 26th of August [1636].
...In witness whereof we have signed these with our own hands in the presence of the undersigned notary public.
Kiliaen Van Rensselaer
Pieter Cornelissen
albert andriessen . .
Claes jansen.
J. Vande Ven, Notary
...As Andriessen was twenty-nine years of age when he made the agreement with Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, he must have been born about 1607.
...In accordance with the agreement, Andreissen, his wife, Annetje Barents "of Rotmers", and their two oldest children, Barent and Eva, set sail from Amsterdam on the ship "Rensselaerswyck" to New Amsterdam.
...This ship sailed from Amsterdam 25 Sept. 1636; anchored off The Texel, [a North Sea island off of Holland], 8 Oct. 1636; arrived at New Amsterdam, New Netherland, 4 March 1637; and arrived at "foort aeranien" on 7 April 1637. ("foort aeranien" was the name for Fort Orange - Troy, N.Y.)
...On this voyage, which was very stormy, Annetje gave birth to their third child, a son. They named the child Storm. In later records he was called "Storm from the Sea" in English, "Storm Ban der Zee" in Dutch. The log of the ship contains the following interesting entries in the "Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts. The translation is as follows:
November
Saturday 1. In the morning we veered toward the west and drifted north. The Wind S. W with rough weather and high seas. The past half day and entire night.
Sunday: 2. Drifted 16 leagues N. E. by E.; the wind about west, the latitude by dead reckoning 41 degrees, 50 minutes with very high seas. That day the overhang above our rudder was knocked in by severe storm. This day a child was born on the ship, and named and baptized in England Stoerm; the mother is Asnetie Baernts. This day gone.
...Andriessen and his partners were to operate a mill. But not long after his arrival he took the liberty of dissolving partnership and established himself as a tobacco planter. Van Renssselaer had sent greetings to him in a letter dated September 21, 1637, (addressed to the partner of Andriessen, Pieter Cornelisz, master millwright) but in a subsequent letter, of May 8, 1638, to Cornelisz he wrote: "Albert Andriessen separated from you, I hear that he is a strange character, and it is therefore no wonder that he could not get along with you." (More information in the book)
...Andriessen not only cultivated tobacco. He operated "two large sawmills," run by a "powerful waterfall," worth as much as f. 1000 annual rent, but the patroon let him have them for f. 250 annual rent. 17 From May 4, 1652, to May 4, 1672, Andriessen is charged with the annual rent for these two mills and the land on Norman's Kill. Originally this Kill was called Tawasentha, meaning a place of the many dead.
...Albert Andriessen was married twice. His first wife died before June 5, 1662. His second wife, Pietertie Jansen, died about the beginning of 1667 in New Amsterdam, leaving an insolvent estate. Her son-in-law was Ebert Benningh.
...Albert is said to have died June 7, 1686.
