General Notes: Husband - Daniel Brodhead


He attained the rank of captain of the Ulster County (New York) militia, serving first as private and later as lieutenant. He removed to Pennsylvania in the year 1737, and bought one thousand acres of land at Stroudsburg, and was the proprietor of Brodhead Manor, Northampton County. He was a justice of the peace in Bucks County. He had been a merchant in Albany, New York, as early as 1726, and in 1730 was a "Licensed Trader" among the Indians. In Pennsylvania he built the town of Dansbury which was named for him. He was of the Moravian church. [CRFP, 907]

He removed to Dansville, on Brodhead's creek, Monroe [Montour?] County, PA, in 1736. Through this Pennsylvania branch of the family came the Brodheads of Kittanning and those of Oil City\emdash formerly. [HVC 1919, 727]

He removed with his family from Ulster county, New York, in the year 1737, to Danville, Pennsylvania, while his son Daniel was but an infant. The latter was the youngest of his three sons who reached maturity and married.

He removed to Pennsylvania with his family about 1737, settling at Analomink (later Brodhead's) and McMichael's Creek. This territory became Northampton and later Monroe County. Daniel called the community Dansbury, after his given name, but this was later changed to Brodhead's Manor, which came to form part of the site of the Borough of East Stroudsburg.
