Edward Braman (1833-1907) of Hyde Park, N.Y. was a genealogist and local historian. The Braman family genealogical research papers consist of genealogical notes, compiled by Edward Braman, on the Braman family of Hyde Park, N.Y., New London County, Conn., and elsewhere, and the related Adams, Teel, Hitt, Dusenbury, Weaver, Garrison, Russell, Sexton, Van Vliet, and other families, as well as original family documents and manuscripts. The notes, dating 1853-1906, are mostly in bound volumes, organized by family name. Original papers include Cyrus Braman's manuscript singing book of hymn and psalm tunes, 1782-1783; a notice to him from the City of Norwich, with instructions for nightwatch duty, 1797; registers of sermons, 1826-1829; Samuel Braman's commissions as sergeant in the New York State Militia, 1825, and as Captain in the 84th Regiment, Infantry, 1830; an account book, 1840-1845, belonging to William Steele, the son in law of Braman's great-great-grandfather, who transacted business with John Jacob Astor; and assorted deeds, financial records, and notices.
