Maria
Bradt Pemberton
Maria Bradt was born in 1697. She was the daughter of Andries and Cornelia Van Wie Bradt - grandchildren of the earliest settlers of Albany.
She
married Albany retainer Jeremiah Pemberton at the
Loonenburgh Lutheran church in 1723. Their last five
children were baptized in the Albany Dutch church
between 1730 and 1735.
These
Pembertons lived modestly in Albany's Second Ward.
Jeremiah lived into the 1750s. The last reference
of record for Maria was at the baptism of her son,
William Pemberton, in 1735!

Notes: The life of Maria Bradt Pemberton is CAP biography number 4356. This modest
sketch is derived chiefly from family and community-based
resources.
