Image Collection 5 Items Martha Bradstreet papers, 1772-1868 Papers, 1774-1868, mainly consisting of correspondence and legal documents relating to Martha Bradstreet's attempts to regain title to land in Utica (N.Y.), which was originally part of the property of General John Bradstreet, the stepfather of Bradstreet's father, Samuel. Title to the land became confused by a poorly drafted deed of sale to Peter Schuyler in 1793, and Martha Bradstreet's claim to the land was further complicated by the terms of the will of her aunt, Elizabeth Livius.
