Notes - Also spelled Bradt. In August 1630, still in Holland, he signed a contract (along with two others) with patroon Kiliaen van Rennselaer to become partners in a sawmill in Rensselaerwyck in New Netherland. With his first wife Annetje, his daughter Eva, and son Barent, he left Holland, sailing from the Texel on 8 Oct 1636 on the ship Rensselaerswyck. Annetje was pregant and, during a violent storm on 2 November, she gave birth to their third child, a son, who was named Storm and who in adulthood took the surname Vanderzee, "from the sea." The ship reached Manhattan on 4 March 1637 and anchored at Fort Orange, up the Hudson, on 7 April.
The sawmill partnership lasted only a year, because Albert departed to devote his energy to planting tobacco and trading in furs. In 1646 he got out of the tobacco business and, with his brother Arent, became operator of two sawmills on the Tawasentha. This enterprise lasted many years and is the reason that the stream became known as the Noorman's Kill.
