Orderly books collection, 1758-1813.

Title: Orderly books collection, 1758-1813.

This collection of orderly books encompasses the French and Indian War, the U.S. Revolution, and the War of 1812 with the majority of books dating from the Revolutionary period. Of special importance are those kept during the Siege of Boston (1775) and for the final years of the Revolution in the Highlands region of New York. Unless the cover or fly leaf cite the name of the owner, regiment, or brigade, it is often difficult to identify the volume positively, and general orders, are, for lack of more precise identification, occasionally described as "Headquarters Orderly Book" or "Brigade Orderly Book."

Bradstreet, John, 1711-1774. Papers, 1754-1782.

Title: Papers, 1754-1782.

This collection reflects Bradstreet's career as summarized above. There are three boxes of records of the bateau and transport service under the command of Bradstreet for the years 1756, 1758, 1759, 1760, 1761, and 1763. The account book of "Monies received and paid for the batteau [sic] service by Daniel De Normandie, under direction of Lt. Col. John Bradstreet" lists accounts and receipts from 4 May 1758 to 30 November 1758 (127 p.). There is one volume of notes for the expedition against Detroit, September 1764, which includes sketches of maps of the Great Lakes, names and locations of Indian tribes, notes on camping places, and tables of distances (27 p.). There are over 300 items of correspondence, returns, receipts for shipments from Bradstreet, and miscellaneous manuscripts. Principal correspondents are John Glen and Abraham Mortier. Some of the correspondence is with Governor William Shirley, Lord Jeffrey Amherst, and General Thomas Gage, much of it in the form of drafts of communications sent by Bradstreet. The correspondence, covering the period 1755 to 1773, reflects the problems of organizing the troops and maintaining the supplies. In March 1771, the Council of New York granted Bradstreet's claim of 20,00 acres of land near Albany. This grant was contested by the Hardenbergh Proprietors and the case was presented at the Court of Great Britain and decided in Bradstreet's favor. The manuscript records the argument of Bradstreet's counsel and includes the original presentation and revised draft.

Bradstreet, Martha, b. 1780. Martha Bradstreet papers, 1772-1868.

Title: Martha Bradstreet papers, 1772-1868.

Papers, 1774-1868, mainly consisting of correspondence and legal documents relating to Martha Bradsteet's attempts to regain title to land in Utica (N.Y.), which was originally part of the property of General John Bradstreet, the stepfather of Bradstreet's father, Samuel. Title to the land became confused by a poorly drafted deed of sale to Peter Schuyler in 1793, and Martha Bradstreet's claim to the land was further complicated by the terms of the will of her aunt, Elizabeth Livius. Because Bradstreet married Matthew Codd in 1799 without the approval of Charles Morgan, the executor of the will, her share of the property reverted to her brother, Samuel Bradstreet. When Morgan approved the marriage in 1801, she found much of the land had been sold, and her litigation, in a case which was finally decided against her in 1831, was an attempt to cancel the sales and regain possession of the land. Bradstreet spent a a good deal of time in England and Ireland, and conducted the litigation through lawyers in London, Edward Bell and C. Bedford. Her Irish cousins, Simon, Edmund, and John Bradstreet, are represented in the correspondence. John Bradstreet was particularly involved in her affairs. The correspondence contains some personal letters, but is mainly concerned with the case; the bulk of it dates from 1815. There are also wills, leases, powers of attorney, and other miscellaneous papers and bills.
