Daniel Brodhead was born at Marbletown, Ulster county, New York in 1736. His great grandfather, Daniel Brodhead, was a royalist and captain of the grenadiers in the reign of Charles II. He came with the expedition under Colonel Nichols in 1664, that captured the Netherlands (now New York) from the Dutch, and settle in Marbletown in 1665. His son Richard, and his son Daniel, the father of the subject of this sketch, also resided in Marbletown. Daniel Brodhead, Sr., in 1736, removed to a place called Dansville on Brodhead's Creek, near Stroudsburgh, Monroe county, Pennsylvania, when Daniel Brodhead, Jr., was an infant. The latter and his brothers became famous for their courage in conflicts with the Indians on the border, their father's house having been attacked by the savages December 11th, 1755. Daniel became a resident of Reading in 1771, where he was deputy surveyor. In July, 1775, he was appointed a delegate from Berks county to the provincial convention in Philadelphia. At the breaking out of the Revolution, Daniel was elected a lieutenant-colonel (commissioned October 25, 1776) and subsequently became colonel of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, his promotion was March 12, 1777, to rank from September 29, 1776. He participated in the battle of Long Island, and in other battles in which Washington's army was engaged. He marched to Fort Pitt in the summer of 1778, his regiment forming a part of Brigadier-General Lachlan McIntosh's command in the Western Department. Here he served until the next spring, when he succeeded to the command in the West, headquarters at Fort Pitt. He retained this position until September 17, 1781, making a very efficient and active commander, twice leading expeditions into the Indian country, in both of which he was successful; but was superceded in his command at Pittsburgh by Colonel John Gibson. Brodhead was, at that date, colonel of the First Pennsylvania Regiment, to which position he was assigned January 17, 1781. After the war, he was Surveyor General of Pennsylvania. He was appointed to that office November 3, 1789 and held the place eleven years, he having previously served in the General Assembly. He died at Milford, Pike county, November 15, 1809. He was twice married. By his first wife he had two children; by his second, none. In 1872, at Milford, an appropriate monument was erected in his memory.

From Life Sketch

Daniel Brodhead (October 17, 1736 - November 15, 1809) was an American military and political leader during the American Revolutionary War and early days of the United States.

Biography:
General Daniel Brodhead, of revolutionary fame, whose portrait appears elsewhere in this volume, was born in Marbletown, Ulster county, New York, in 1736, and died and was buried in Milford, Pennsylvania, November 15, 1809. He was the great-grandson of Capt. Daniel Brodhead, of the English army, who came to this country in 1664, as a member of the expedition commanded by Col. Richard Nichols, in the service of King Charles II, after the Restoration.
This Daniel Brodhead, the father of the subject of this biography, removed with his family from Ulster county, New York, in the year 1737, to Danville, Pennsylvania, while the subject of this biography was but an infant. Inured to the dangers of the Indian frontier from his very cradle, the impression made as he grew up among the scenes of Indian barbarities, and the outrages of the savages, helped to form his future character and to mold him into the grand, successful soldier and Indian fighter which his subsequent history proved him to be. General Brodhead first appeared prominently in public life when he was elected a deputy from Berks county to a provincial meeting which met at Philadelphia, July 15, 1774, and served on a committee which reported sixteen resolutions, one of which recommended the calling of a continental congress and acts of non-importation and non-exportation from Great Britain. These were among the first steps toward the revolution which followed.At the beginning of the war of the revolution he was commissioned by the assembly of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia as colonel of the 8th regiment PA Colonial Troops. He first participated in the battle of Long Island. Before the close of the battle he commanded the whole of the Pennsylvania contingent troops, composed of several battalions. He was especially mentioned by Washington in his report to congress on this battle, for brave and meritorious conduct. He also participated in several other battles of the revolution. Having received the approbation of Washington, he was sent by him, in June, 1778, with his troops to Fort Muncy, where he rebuilt that fort formerly destroyed by the Indians, which command he held until Washington, on the following spring, recommended his selection to congress for the command of the western department. Washington, being personally acquainted and warmly attached to him, knew well his qualifications as a brave, judicious and competent general. Washington, by sanction of congress, issued an order, dated March 5, 1779, directing him to proceed to Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania, and take charge of the western department, extending from the British possessions, at Detroit, on the north, to the French possessions (Louisiana) on the south, a command and responsibility equal to any in the revolutionary army.Gen. Brodhead established the headquarters of his department at Fort Pitt, now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had under his command the posts of Fort Pitt, Fort McIntosh, Fort Laurens, Fort Tuscarora, Fort Wheeling, Fort Armstrong and Fort Holliday's Cove. He made a number of successful expeditions in person against the Indians with a large part of his command. In 1779 he executed a brilliant march up the Allegheny with 605 men, penetrating into New York, overcoming almost insurmountable difficulties, through a wilderness without roads, driving the Indians before him, depopulating and destroying their villages all along his route, killing and capturing many. This expedition began August 11 and ended September 14, 1779, between 300 and 400 miles in thirty-three days, through a wilderness without a road. General Brodhead received the thanks of congress for this expedition, and the following acknowledgement from General Washington: "The activity, perseverance and firmness which marked the conduct of General Brodhead, and that of all the officers and men of every description in this expedition, do them great honor, and their services entitle them to the thanks and to this testimonial of the general's acknowledgement."A great number of the thrilling Indian stories of which we read in the present day occurred under Gen. Brodhead�s command. The famous Capt. Brady was a captain in Gen. Brodhead's eighth regiment, and seldom ever went out on a scout but by orders from the general. General Brodhead's devotion to the cause of liberty was untiring. He never doubted the result of the war, and his letters of encouragement to Gen. Washington and others are part of the history of our country. In one, lamenting the coldness of some former patriots, he writes: "There is nothing I so much fear as a dishonorable peace. For heaven's sake, let every good man hold up his hands against it. We have never suffered half I expected we should, and I am willing to suffer much more for the glorious cause for which I have and wish to bleed." Gen. Brodhead had a treble warfare to wage a warfare which required the genius and daring of a soldier, the diplomacy of a statesman and the good, hard sense and clear judgment of an independent ruler over an extensive country composed of a variety of elements. He waged war upon the unfriendly Indians, and held as allies in friendship several friendly nations. He watched and controlled, to a great extent, the British influence upon the Indians in the direction of Detroit. He kept in subjection a large Tory element west of the mountains in sympathy with Great Britain, and punished them by confiscating their surplus stores and provisions for the benefits of his starving soldiers, when they had refused to sell to his commissary officers on the credit of the government; but he never resorted to this punishment until his starving soldiers paraded in a body in front of his quarters and announced they had had no bread for five days. On June 24, 1779, Gen. Brodhead issued his famous order directing Col. Bayard to proceed to Kittanning and erect a fort at that point for the protection of all settlers desiring to settle in that vicinity, and for the better protection of the frontier. After the erection of this fort settlers took up land and built their houses around and in the vicinity of this fort, under its protection, until the accumulation of houses and homes in the vicinity transformed the Indian town of Kittanning into the present thriving capital of Armstrong county, which can only justly and truthfully be acknowledged the result of the fort erected by command of Gen. Brodhead, and which he was too modest to have called after himself, regardless of the importunate efforts of Col. Bayard, whom history shows to have earnestly entreated Brodhead to permit him to call it Fort Brodhead. Gen. B's untiring watchfulness of the settlements along the Allegheny, the building of his fort at Kittanning, his protection of the inhabitants in its vicinity until they became numerous enough to defend themselves, his modesty in not permitting the fort to be called after himself, justly entitle him to the credit of being the founder of Kittanning, just as the erecting of every fort on our western frontier from that day to this has been the foundation of a city or town which invariably sprang from such a planting, as Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, Leavenworth, Fort Dodge, Detroit, for never until that time had Kittanning any white inhabitants, and never from that time until the present has it been without white inhabitants. In 1781, Gen. B. was given command of the 1st Pa. Colonial regiment, and during that year received his full commission as general. His services extended through the entire war of the revolution, and at its close he was elected by the officers assembled at the cantonment of the American army on the Hudson River, May 10, 1783, as one of the committee to prepare the necessary papers for the organization of the Society of the Cincinnati. In 1789 General Brodhead was elected by the Pennsylvania assembly surveyor-general of the State of Pennsylvania, which position he held for nearly twelve years. For his services in the revolution Gen. B. received several thousand acres of land, which he located in Western Pennsylvania. Besides this he purchased largely of land through Western Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky. He located much land in the vicinity of Kittanning and on the Allegheny, the scenes of his former exploits, which he never ceased to love. His second marriage was to the widow of Gen. Samuel Mifflin. He had but one child, Ann Garton Brodhead. She married Casper Heiner, of Reading, Pennsylvania, a surveyor by profession and an author of a series of mathematics.

• Biography. 6 He settled on Analoming Creek, called since that time Brodhead's Creek. He purchased 640 acres of land, in the centre of which East Stroudsburg is now located. The western boundary line started near the old forge, passed near the graveyard, and continued on the west side of the creek till beyond what is called the 'Flower Garden'. Besides East Stroudsburg, the tract embraced the properties now owned by Mr. Robert Brown and Mr. Christian Smith. He afterwards purchased what is now the eastern portion of Stroudsburg, as far as the mill-dam of Mr. William Wallace. He called the settlement Dansbury, and it was known by that name till Stroudsburg was founded by Jacob Stroud in 1769.

In 1744 Daniel Brodhead first became acquainted with the Moravian Missionaries, Shaw, Bruce, and Mack, whose way to Shekomeko (in Dutchess Co., N.Y.) passed through his settlement. With the character of these self-sacrificing Christian men, he was very favorably impressed, and was their warm friend and supporter ever after, in the face of much influential opposition at the time. They established a mission house on his property, which was situated on the west side of the creek, near the iron bridge, and was called Dansbury mission. In the outbreak of 1755, he is represented as a man of great courage and intrepidity, remaining with his sons and defending his family, and others who came there for assistance, against the attacks of the Indians, when the whole surrounding country had been abandoned.

Captain Richard Brodhead​ (1666-1758)

Biography:
Captain Richard Brodhead​, son of Captain Daniel and Ann Brodhead, was born at Marbletown, New York, in the year 1666, died in 1758. Little is satisfactorily known of this Richard. It is known, however, that he held a captain’s commission in the Ulster county militia, in 1728, and it is likely that he was engaged in the Indian wars of that period. His wife was Magdalena Jansen, whom he married, April 19, 1692, by whom he had a son Daniel. Magdalena Jansen Brodhead died in 1701 [sic].

For the Brodhead family I have used information from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kdecker/Brodhead.htm and have used Kitty Decker's notes in entirity. This lineage was originally given to me by my uncle LeRoy Johnson. But his information I have found to be incomplete and sometimes inaccurate. There are many sources with often conflicting information. I have found this information to be the overall best. And I unashamedly say that I copied as I was not able to contact the author.

Captain Daniel BRODHEAD

Born: Cir 1631, West Riding, Yorkshire, England 1
Marriage: Ann TYE [10235] about 1661 in England 1
Died: 14 Jul 1667, Esopus, New York, United States at age 36 1
bullet General Notes:

We know nothing about Captain Daniel’s birth except he was born in West Riding, Yorkshire. There has been nothing found about his youth but we do know that times must have been rough on a young man who's family were always supporters of the King and whose youth was spent under Cromwell. When in 1660 Charles II ascended the throne, Daniel became a Captain in the English Grenadiers. In 1661 he married Ann Tye in Yorkshire. When an expedition was mounted to take over New Netherlands from the Dutch, Daniel, his wife Ann, two sons - Charles and Daniel, and all their possessions sailed on one of four ships used for the expedition - The Guinea, The Elias, the Martin, and the William and Nochilas. Since Daniel was a protege of Gov. Nichols, who led this expedition, we can only think that he was on board the Guinea with the Gov. and went with him to Cape Cod and boston to demand the assistance of the Massachusetts residents while the other ships remained in Piscatasay.

On 18 Aug. the English squadron anchored in Nyack Bay between New Utrecht and Coney Island just below the Narrows. The next day Gov. Nichols sent a committee to Ft. Amsterdam to ask for the surrender of the Dutch. By the following Monday the Dutch people had convinced Peter Stuyvestant that all was lost and to surrender.

"The Dutch frontier posts were thought of next. Colonel Cartwright, with Captains Thomas Willett, John Manning, Thomas Breedon, and Daniel Brodhead, were sent to Fort Orange, as soon as possible, with a letter form Nicolls requiring La Montagne and the magistrates and inhabitants to aid in prosecuting his majesty's interest against all who should oppose a peacable surrender."

"Richard Nicolls, Esq., etc.
"To Capt. Daniel Brodhead, Chief Officer of the Militia in the Esopus:
"Whereas, His Majesty hath been graciously pleased by his Letters Patents, under the great seal of England, to grant unto his Royal Highness, James, Duke of York and Albany, et ceters, several tracts of land in America, specified in the said Letters Patents, with full power and authority to nominate and appoint all officers, both civil and military; And, whereas, His Royal Highness hath been also granciously pleased, by commission, under his hand and seal, to grant unto me, as his Deputy-Governor, all thepower and authority expresses to be given in the said letters patents; By virtue of the said authority I do consitute and appoint you, the said Daniel Brodhead, Chief Officer of the Militia in the Esopus. You are to take care and use your utmost diligence for the defense of the place and people against any attempts. You are constantly to keep good guard, and your soldiers in good order and discipline, according to the rule and method of war; Hereby strictly charging and requiring all inferior officers and soldiers, from time to time, to receive and obey you as their Chief Officer over the Militia. And you are also to obey such orders and instructions as you shall receive from me in all cases whereunto you are required.

• Miscellaneous: Letter from Gov. Nicholls, 23 Oct 1665, Esopus, New York, United States. 5 "Instructions to Capt. Daniel Brodhead for the management of the Garrison in the Esopus:

1st. You are to keep strict order and dicipline with the soldiers, that no riots or abuses be done in their quarters; particularly that no soldiers presume to judge or revenge his own cause, but to make it first known to you: And if the complaint be against a Burgher, to make it know to the Schout, who will give you satisfaction therein; and in case you receive not so much justice as you conceive to be due, remit the rest to me and smooth up the business till my directions can be had.

2d. You are to keep constant guards, yet with respect to the number and health of the soldiers.

3rd. You are weekly to deliver the soldiers their full weight and allowance of provisions of Beef or Venison, proportionable, when it is to be had, and keep an exact account thereof, as also what Venison you shall buy with powder and lead, in which you must be very sparing, and give but a small quantity for a deer, with regard to your stores, that you may not want ammunition upon occasion.

4th. You must avoid harshness of words and heat of passion in all occasions, seeking rather to reconcile differences than to be head of a party. Preserve yourself single and indifferent as to justice between soldiers and burghers. Give not too easy an ear to private whisperers and insinuators, which may overrule your judgement and beget a prejudice in your min against the Dutch. For though I am not apt to believe they have a natural affection to (the) English, yet without ill usage I do not find them so malicious as some will seek to persuade you they are.

5th. that the soldiers do give no abuse to the Indians either in the town or woods; but if an Indian happens to be drunk or abusive in the town you may put him upon the guard till he is sober, without inflicting any other punishment upon him, which point is one of the articles made between me and them. The Indians are not to come (with their arms fixed) into the town, but to leave them at the house without the ports, which I suppose is already built for them.

6th. That you take some seasonable opportunity to visit that tract of land which I have bought of the Indians, and is described in the articles; to which end, and as the season of the weather presents, it will be best that you get one or two of their Schems and some other of their Indians to go along with you, and thereof to give me the best account you can; as also that in the winter, when there is either an opportunity which offers itself, or some extra ordinary necessity happens, you fail not to send me words of your condition.

7th. You may yourself to your own use (or any soldier may to his own use) plough and sow corn upon any land which is not already granted to any of the present inhabitants of the Sopes, until you receive order from me to the contrary.

8th. In all matters which may happen accidentally you are required to make use of your best discretion, as you are punctually to observe my instructions to the particulars herein written and signed by me.
This 23rd of October, 1665, in James Fort
(signed) Richard Nicolls"

Even though the governor had told him not to be prejudiced against the Dutch, Capt. Daniel could not find it in him to understand his Dutch and French neighbors. even the calendar became a battle. The Dutch preferred the New Style while the English used the old style. Capt. Daniel tried to break up a party that some of the Dutch had for New Years.

Daniel married Ann TYE [10235] [MRIN: 3655], daughter of Francis TYE [10236] and Lettos SALMON [10237], about 1661 in England.1 (Ann TYE [10235] died in 1714 1.)
