1770-1881 |
| Abstract:
|
The Teunis G. Bergen collection of Van Brunt family genealogy papers spans the period
1770 to 1881 and measures 0.3 linear feet. The papers include letters, legal documents,
and genealogical notes and transcriptions concerning the Van Brunt family, collected
by Teunis G. Bergen. Much of the material concerns Kings County (N.Y.), especially
New Utrecht (now part of Brooklyn), but New Jersey and other locales also appear in
the genealogical documents. Many of the letters are from John Van Brunt (1802-1880)
of Englewood, N.J.; these typically concern genealogy and family history, but some
also include his perspectives on politics, the development of Englewood, and local
issues such as a controversy over racially segregated schools. The legal documents
include deeds, wills, and slave bills of sale.
