Vivian Straaberg Hawkins Fellows, 94, passed away on January 25, 2016.

She was born to Hyrum Axel Straaberg and Johanna Martina Andersen on September 28, 1921 in Salt Lake City, the youngest of eleven children. All have preceded her in death.

Vivian was proud of her Scandinavian heritage. Both parents were immigrants to the U.S., her father arriving from Norway and her mother from Denmark.

Mom attended Lincoln Junior High and graduated from South High. She always remembered those days with fondness as some of her best.

As a young adult, she worked at an arms plant in the Salt Lake area, where she lived most of her life. She worked in California for the Signal Corps during WWII.

After the war, she met and married South Pacific veteran Eugene Hardy Hawkins in the family home in Sugar House; she was married to "Jimmy" until his death in 1975. Together, they raised a son and a daughter, James Craig Hawkins (Judy) of Twin Falls, Idaho and Susan Lee Hawkins (Dane Beck) of Salt Lake City.

Our mother was active in Boy Scouting when younger, serving as den mother for Cubs while living in the Canyon Rim area. Later, she was highly involved in Little League and Pony League Baseball organizations, serving as official scorekeeper for the Midvale teams her son played on. Mom felt passionately about the value of such programs for their influence in keeping kids out of trouble.

While living in Midvale, she was a member of Ladies Guild, serving for a time as its president. During these formative years of her children's lives, she was a great supporter and nurturer, always ready to listen to their troubles and successes.

A stay-at-home mom, Vivian was a wonderful cook and-way back then-a pretty good housekeeper. She managed finances efficiently and kept the family healthy, happy and secure.

When her husband died in 1975 following heart surgery in Palo Alto, California, Viv faced a new set of challenges as a widow. For a couple of years, she worked as a teller at State Savings and Loan in Murray.

In 1979, she renewed an old high school acquaintance with A. Wilford Fellows, also recently widowed. The two were married by Vivian's son, Craig, then Bishop of a Salem, Oregon LDS ward.

Wilf and Vivian shared eighteen good years together at the home they built in Cottonwood Heights, traveling to foreign countries and enjoying the company of friends, relatives, and members of their LDS wards. Wilford died of congestive heart failure in 1998. Our mother remained in their home in Fort Union until moving into her son's home in Twin Falls last August.

Mom was independent, spunky and much fun to tease, and always ready to go for a drive in the car. She was loyal to her family in everything she did and instilled the values of sharing, saving and self-sacrifice in her two children.

Mom adored the companionship of dogs and cats and played pinochle and other card games with friends. She also preserved fruits and vegetables well into her eighties and doted over her raspberry bushes.

Viv was intensely interested in national politics and kept herself well informed through television and newspaper. For many years, she was an election poll judge and enjoyed meeting people in that capacity.

She is survived by her two children, eight grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at Goff Mortuary, 8090 South State Street (100 East), Midvale. A visitation will be held there a half hour before the services.

514 From History of Rensselaer County, New York, p. 262

On a map of Hoosick Patent, dated 1754, appear other names; among them Bovie, Vanderrick, Huyck, Brimmer, Kott, and Roberts. Among very early settlers also were Breese, Fonda, and Onderkirk. Here also, at the place where the Harlem Extension Railroad crosses the Troy and Boston line, lived Barnardus Bratt, who on the 17th of January, 1735, married Catharyne Van Vechten, daughter of Johannes Van Vechten, and grand-daughter of Garret Garret Tennisse Van Vechten, one of the original proprietors of the Hoosick Patent; thus acquiring by marriage and by hase from ether heirs a large interest in the lands held under that patent. Mr. Bratt's large landed estate, great wealth, and assumption of manorial rights gave him a distinguished social position, and the title of "Patroon of Hoosick.'' He built the first saw-mill and the first gristmill erected in the district. They were built on a small brook which ran through the lateral valley before mentioned, and emptied into the Hoosick near his own dwelling. These mills were burned, and a large quantity of grain, lumber, and other property destroyed by some of the invading bands of French and Indians. The mills were rebuilt and run for many years. The old mill-stones may still be seen near the premises, interesting relics of that olden time.

In early limes, before the erection of this mill, grain was taken to Albany to be ground, sometimes on foot, sometimes on horseback but always with toil, danger, and suffering, characteristic of heroic limes. The Sons of Barnardus Bratt were Daniel, of Hoosick Corners, John, of Bushkirk's Bridge; Gerrit Tennise, of Hoosick Corners; and Henry, of Albany. The daughters wen Maria, Mrs. Robert Lottridge; and Elizabeth, who married her cousin, John Bratt. In this last-named family were two daughters -- Catharina, who married Nicholas Groesbeck, and Christina, who married Cornelius Van Buskirk. Each of these husbands succeeded to valuable farms in the Hoosick Valley, as heirs of the old Barnardus Bratt
estate.

Anthony Barentse Bradt
by
Stefan Bielinski


Anthony Barentse was born in 1657. He was the son of New Netherland pioneers Barent Albertse and Susanna Dircks Bradt. He grew up in his father's North end home and at the family farm on the Normanskill. He sometimes was called "Teunis."

In December 1685, he married Willempie Teunisz Egberts at the Albany Dutch church. By 1708, their eleven children had been baptized at the church where both parents were members, frequent baptism sponsors, and where Anthony served as sexton.

These Bradts lived near his father just beyond the new city's north gate. By 1682, he had joined with his brother to take title to their father's sawmill. In 1697, his Albany home was configured on the census. Two years later, he joined with his neighbors in swearing allegiance to the king of England. Prosperous, his holdings later were valued comparable to those of other Albany merchants. As late as 1720, he still was listed among the community's freeholders.

Anthony Barentse served the community as well as the church as a financial officer. Known as the assessor and appraiser for the third ward, he then was elected city and county treasurer first in 1698. Re-elected annually, he served as chamberlain for more than two decades - collecting taxes, fines, and fees and authorizing disbursements for a range of items until his death in 1722.

The children of this American-born community leader further established the Bradt family in Albany and its hinterland. Anthony Barentse Bradt died and was buried in February 1722. He had lived about sixty-five years.

Henry B. Bradt
by
Stefan Bielinski


Henry B. Bradt was born in November 1750. He was the last child born to the marriage of Bernardus and Catharina Van Vechten Bradt. He grew up in the first ward home of a transporter and landholder who at one time shared the contract to operate the cross river ferry.

By January 1772 but perhaps not officially until more than a year later, he had married an Anna/Hannah David. By 1790, the marriage had produced nine children - some of whom were christened at the Albany Dutch church.

Although we have yet to connect him to specific wartime activities, afterwards, a "Henry Bradt" was granted land bounty right under the Albany militia regiment.

By 1788, the first ward house of Henry B. Bradt was valued on the city assessment roll. Two years later in 1790, his household included six boys under sixteen. In 1800, Henry and an older woman (perhaps he had re-married) still had three adolescent boys in their home. Anna probably was dead by that time as a receipt to Henry B. Bradt for funeral expenses for his wife from July 1794 is included in the Bradt family papers collection in the New York State Library.

In 1797, a list of freeholders for the first ward identified him as a "yeoman." Just after1800, his name no longer appeared on community-based documents.

By the time of publication of the first city directory in 1813, he seems to have left Albany. He seems to have held substantial land across the river in Greenbush. A "Henry B. Bradt" died in May 1823 and was buried in Hoosic. His estate took some time to be settled.

522 From Northwich to the United States
From: http://cheshiremagazine.com/Archives/leftwich.html (June 2008)

In search of the Leftwich family roots

J.Fran Orian emails from Hawaii to enquire about the Leftwich family which he believes descends from Richard De Leftwich, born 1309 in ?Shipbrooke, Cheshire?.

He writes: ? I'm interested in knowing how far back the ancestry can be traced as there are several rumours in my family about our history that I would like to verify. Also, any information on the current state of repair and occupancy of 'Leftwich Hall' including its location? "

The Leftwich family was a prominent in Cheshire antiquity and through one of their number the name is now equally established in many parts of the United States.

The Leftwich?s known origins lie in the reign of Edward the Confessor when they were Lords of Leftwich and holders of lands at Shipbroke, near what is now the town of Northwich.

With the Norman Conquest, the Barony of Shipbroke passed to Richard De Vernon who accompanied William of Normandy to England in 1066.

Later through marriage into the Winnington family, another family of Norman origin, part of Shipbroke, and the Barony, returned to the Leftwich?s whose ancestral home was Leftwich Hall. Richard De Leftwich (1256-1307) was the son of Robert De Winnington and his second wife Matilda, a daughter of the Vernons. It was Richard who inherited the manor and was he who was the first to formally bear the name of Leftwich.

In 1403, Robert De Leftwich fought at the Battle of Shrewsbury in the Percy Rebellion on the side of the defeated ?Hotspur?. He was afterwards proclaimed to be a Rebel.

In 1658, or thereabouts, it seems that Ralph Leftwich, the son of Thomas Leftwich of England, emigrated to the New World and in New Kent County (Virginia) was granted 300 acres of land on the Peanketank River.
His son Thomas was born in Caroline County and his grandson, Joel Leftwich, fought with distinction in many campaigns, including the American War of Independence, attaining the rank of Brigadier General. He served in the General Assembly of Virginia and was also Sheriff of Bedford County.

The Leftwich family eventually spread across America, notably into the Southern states, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, as well as Texas.

One of the most illustrious Leftwich sons of modern times was Lt Col William G.Leftwich who was born in 1931 in Memphis. He enjoyed an exemplary military record with the Marine Corps but was sadly killed in a helicopter crash whilst serving in Vietnam. In 1979, a United States? war ship, the USS Leftwich, was named in his memory.

Little is known about the earliest Leftwich Hall, except that it was demolished and replaced in 1493. In 1616 it passed out of the family when Elizabeth Leftwich married William Oldfield; she being the last in direct line of succession.

The Hall remained in the Oldfield family for about 150 years and afterwards it was allowed to fall into decay, eventually being pulled down about 1820.

A farm stood here until after the Second World War and the Leftwich council housing estate now occupies the site. The only evidence of the former ancestral home is in the name, Old Hall Road.

530 From the church historians office, Leo worked with Jonathan Grimshaw as transcriber / recorder for Joseph Smith's legacy. Leo's handwriting can be found, for example on Page 146, The Joseph Smith Papers, History (1 May 1844 - 8 August 1844) See: http://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paperSummary/history-1838-1856-volume-f-1-1-may-1844-8-august-1844?p=152&highlight=leo%20hawkins Joseph Smith passed away in 1844, prior to Leo Hawkins arrival at Salt Lake City. Scholars debate the authenticity of these recorded histories. Regardless, Leo, along with other historians such as Jonathan Grimshaw were very active in the tasl of documenting the LDS Church History Narriative. Hawkins, Leo (I245)

#l044 - CATHARINE, daughter of #l033 - Johannes and Maria Bogardus

She inherited some extensive holdings in the Holland Patent in the Hoosic Valley from her grandfather #3 Gerrit Teunisse, who was one of the Patentees. She married Bernardus Bratt, a member of one of the old Dutch families of New York. The Bratt name, like many others, went through numerous changes and some of the descendants are known as Bradt or Brodt.

Being in possession of these Patent holdings, Bernardus became quite prominent and was known as "The Patroon". It was said that some of the officials became a bit jealous of his prominence and prosper ity and tried to harrass him politically. The following excerpt was copied from the Minutes of the Board of Aldermen of Albany, August 23, l742:

"This Board appointed Gerrit G. Van Denburg and Johannes Van Vechten to go with The Jury to view the premises in the action of the Corporation (of Albany) against Bernardus Bratt and that they hire a "Battoe" -- and hands to carry up some evidence, necessary for The Jury and they are to gett provisions at Simon Daniel's for which they are to be paid and likewise for their trouble, what is reasonable."

However, there was nothing in the record regarding the findings

of The Jury. So we assume "It was just one of those things".
