Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Bronck Family Manuscripts comprise roughly five cubic feet of material primarily on parchment and handmade paper. Contents include personal letters, business papers, and legal documents dating from the lifetime of Jan Bronck (1652-1742) to Leonard Bronk Lampman (1872-1939). Leonard Bronk Lampman was the final owner of the family's 1663 estate and its contents. The most intellectually unified series within the collection come from the lifetime of Judge Leonard Bronck (1751-1828) and his immediate descendants and deal with the Revolutionary legacy of that generation of the Bronck family as well as their involvement in local and state government during that period. This era and generation of the family also represent the years for which the most materials are extant.
