"Hon. Charles Brodhead, only child of Albert G. and Ellen
Brodhead, was born at Conyngham, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania,
August 4, 1824, and was reared until the age of fourteen in
Delaware, Pike county, acquiring his education in the local
schools. In 1838-39 he was a student in an academic school at
Stroudsburg, conducted by Ira Burrell Newman. In the spring of
1840 he went with Mr. Newman to a newly established school at
Dingman's High Falls, Pike county, and in November 1840, entered
the freshman class of Lafayette College, at Easton,
Pennsylvania, then under the direction of the Rev. Dr. George
Junkman. After his graduation from college in 1844, he entered
the law office of his uncle, Richard Brodhead, then a member of
congress and afterward United States senator from Pennsylvania.
During his student days Charles Brodhead attended the law school
established at Philadelphia by David Hoffman, and was admitted
to the bar at Easton, during the November term of court of 1846.
Shortly afterward, Mr. Brodhead became sheriff's attorney, and
acted in the capacity for three years, but soon gave up the
practice of law and engaged in the real estate business in
Bethlehem. About that time the Lehigh Valley Railroad, in
connection with the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and the
Northern Pennsylvania Railroad were being built into Bethlehem.
Both had their lines located on the south side of the Lehigh
river at Bethlehem, and Mr. Brodhead in 1854 purchased one
hundred acres of the Moravian farm land on that side of the
river, and laid out what is now to a great extent South
Bethlehem. He is one of the largest landowners in that borough,
and also owns considerable realty in Bethlehem, where among his
other possessions he has the well known Sun Inn, built in 1758.
In laying out South Bethlehem he made an effort, with the
co-operation of Jefferson Davis, then secretary of war, and the
Hon. Richard Brodhead, United States senator from Pennsylvania,
to have a government foundry established in that place. Though
his efforts then proved futile, the seed was sown, and to-day,
extensive works for the manufacture of war material for the
government, are in successful operation on the ground reserved
by Mr. Brodhead for the government foundry in 1856, and which he
subsequently sold to the Bethlehem Steel Company. It was mainly
due to the efforts of Mr. Brodhead, and his active co-operation
in the projects of Augustus Wolle, that the Bethlehem Iron
Company's works were located at South Bethlehem. The facts,
briefly, are these: Mr. Wolle was and continued to be all his
life one of the most active and progressive men ever in business
in the Bethlehems, and his particular talent was along the line
of an executive officer. He had leased what was known as the
Gangawere ore bed, in Saucon township, and secured a charter for
an organization called the Saucona Iron Company, for the
development of the Gangawere and other veins of hematite ores.
He urged Mr. Brodhead to join him in this project, but the
latter suggested that they unite forces and put up works in
South Bethlehem, as the extra cost of ore transportation would
be quite balanced by the less cost of transportation of coal if
stopped at Bethlehem. The result was that Mr. Wolle, being
himself a large landowner in Sough Bethlehem, agreed upon that
place as the site for the new works. Mr. Brodhead then drew a
supplement to Mr. Wolle's Saucona charter, which was
subsequently passed by the Pennsylvania legislature, authorizing
the company to make and manufacture iron ores and iron into any
shape or condition, and changing the name of the company to The
Bethlehem Rolling Mill and Iron Company. Mr. Wolle was the first
and largest subscriber to the stock and was followed by others,
and thus the Bethlehem mills became an accomplished fact.
Mr. Brodhead was first to suggest the construction of the new
steel bridge which, starting in Bethlehem in Northampton county,
crosses the canal and railroad of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, the Monocacy creek, a section of Lehigh county, the
Lehigh river, many tracks of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and
terminates its eleven hundred feet of length in South Bethlehem.
The Broad street bridge, which connects Bethlehem with West
Bethlehem was also one of Mr. Brodhead's conceptions, the idea
having first come to him when he was having his engineers locate
what was popularly known as "Charley Brodhead's Huckleberry
Railroad", now the Lehigh & Lackawanna Railroad, leading from
Bethlehem to the great slate quarries in and about Chapman, Wind
Gap, Pen Argyl, and Bangor, with a branch leading through the
famous wind gap of the Blue Mountains and extending to Saylor's
lake, in Monroe county. The objective point of the road is
Stroudsburg, on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, a
connection with which will make the line a favorite for summer
tourists from Philadelphia to the resorts at Delaware, Water
Gap, Stroudsburg, the Pocono mountains, Bushkill, Dingman's,
High Falls, and Milford, on the upper Delaware. This road was
projected by Mr. Brodhead, and pushed through by him with
untiring perseverance and pertinacity, he acting for many years
as president of the company. It is now one of the leased lines
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
Mr. Brodhead has not only contribute din large and important
measures to the material development and substantial building of
the state, but has also left the impress of his individuality
for good upon public life, thought and action. In 1873 he was
elected a member of the constitutional convention of
Pennsylvania, and was the originator of several valuable
provisions in that instrument, notably the one providing for
free telegraph lines, and prohibiting the consolidation of
parallel or competing lines, by reason of which the people of
this state alone were thus protected from the thraldom of a
monster monopoly. He also secured the enactment of the section
which prohibits all officers and employes of railroad companies
from being interested, directly or indirectly, in the furnishing
of supplies and material for the corporations with which they
are connected, or being interested in transportation lines or
contracts for transportation. These provisions have been highly
beneficial to stockholders, who before were often plundered by
unscrupulous officers and employes. Mr. Brodhead likewise
introduced and secured the adoption of that section of the state
constitution which extended the terms of county treasurers to
three years and prohibited their re-election, which has had a
very salutary effect upon municipal financiering. He is a member
of the board of trustees of Lehigh University and has ever
manifested a warm interest in educational affairs.
Mr. Brodhead was married, June 1, 1858, to Miss Camilla M.
SHIMER, a daughter of General Conrad SHIMER, an extensive
farmer, prominent in military and political affairs in
Northampton county. The children of Charles and Camilla Brodhead
are as follows: Charles, who was born July 26, 1859, and died
May 18, 1860; Kate Ellen, who was born May 15, 1861; and is the
wife of Warren E. Wilbur; and Albert, born September 26, 1867."
PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD Pages 459-462
HON. CHARLES BRODHEAD. During the many years in which this
gentleman has been a resident of Bethlehem, he has not only
witnessed the progress from a comparatively unimportant town to
its proud position as one of the foremost cities of this part of
Pennsylvania, but he has also aided in its development, and his
history is closely interwoven with that of Northampton County.
His life has been a busy and useful one. Realizing that the aim
of life is not merely to "kill time," he has rightly valued
every moment given him, and has thus gained a reputation for
promptness in originating plans and dispatch in executing them.
The ancestry and life record of one so prominent among his
fellow-men will possess for our readers more than ordinary
interest, and it is therefore with pleasure that the biographer
presents the following outline of his career.
There are few families in the United States whose residence here
antedates that of the Brodhead family. Its first representative
in America, Daniel Brodhead, came to this country as a Captain
of Grenadiers in the expedition of Col. Richard Nicholls (in the
reign of Charles II, King of England), which captured New York
from the Dutch in 1664. With New York (then new Amsterdam) were
surrendered all the Dutch Dependencies, as they were called, on
the Hudson River, including Esopus, Schenectady and Ft. Orange
(Albany). Capt. Daniel Brodhead was assigned, with his company
of grenadiers, to keep in order the Dutch at Esopus (then called
"the Esopes"), and was obliged to oversee movements on both
sides of Esopus Creek, which enters the Hudson River at that
point. His title was that of Captain-General of the Esopes.
Prior to leaving England, Captain Brodhead married Ann Tye, by
whom he had several children, among them three sons, Daniel,
Charles and Richard. Charles was evidently named in honor of the
King of England, and Richard was the namesake of the Colonel of
the expedition. These names continue in the family to the
present. The Captain appears to have made his headquarters at
Marbletown, a village a few miles west of the Hudson, where he
dispensed, with iron hand, justice and equity to his Dutch
neighbors, and where he died July 14, 1667. His widow survived
him, and in 1697 built a residence for herself and family, which
remained in possession of some member of the Brodhead family
until 1890.
By reason of the long retention of this house, and the business
qualities of Mrs. Ann (Tye) Brodhead and her children, a large
number of papers relative to the family were kept there intact,
and were secured a few years ago by Lucas Brodhead, of Spring
Station, Ky., who has had many of them copied and photographed
for distribution among the family. Among others was the
following pass, given by the town authorities of Marbletown,
Ulster County, N.Y., to Daniel Brodhead, a grandson of the
Grenadier Captain, and no doubt the first Brodhead to visit the
state of Pennsylvania.
"Ulster, in the Province of New York.
"Mattys Jansen, Maj. Johannes Hardenbergh and Capt. John Rutsen,
Esprs., Justices of the Peace for the county of Ulster,
assigned.
"To all to whom these presents shall come, or may concern,
greeting: Whereas, Daniel Brodhead, son of Capt. Charles
Brodhead, hath a purpose to Travell out of this Province of New
York into the Provinces of New Jersey and Pensilvaina: These are
to certifie that the said Daniel Brodhead hath been known unto
us from the time of his nativity to this day, and during all the
sd time hath behaved himselfe as a True and Faithfull subject to
our Soveraigne Lord King George and his predecesors, and is of
honest and good fame, name, credit and Reputation, and we desire
he may be greeted according.
"Given under our hands and scaled in Kingston this 12th day of
September, in the fifth year of his Majesty's Reign, anno q Dono
1718.
(Signed) "Mattys Jansen.
"J. Hardenbergh.
"John Rutsen.
This Daniel Brodhead, however, did not settle in Pennsylvania,
but made such a favorable report of the capabilities of the
stats, that his cousin brother of Capt. Charles Brodhead before
mentioned, came to Pennsylvania about 1735, and settled on what
has since been called Brodhead's Creek, near Stroudsburg, then
Bucks, now Monroe County. Mr. Brodhead laid out a town on his
mile square of land and called it Dansbury. The Stroudsburg
station of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company
is on this tract, and the town is called East Stroudsburg. From
this pioneer are descended the Brodheads of Pennsylvania. One of
his sons, Daniel Brodhead, was Colonel of the Eighth
Pennsylvania Regiment on Continental Establishment during the
Revolutionary War, and at the close thereof, while Colonel
commanding the Western Department, with headquarters at
Pittsburg, by special act of George Washington, and on the
re-organization of the Pennsylvania troops about 1782, was made
Colonel of the First Pennsylvania Regiment on Continental
Establishment. He filled several state offices and when the new
state organization was formed in 1789, became the first
Surveyor-General of the state, which office he held for many
years. He died at Milford, Pike County in 1809. Another son
Garret Brodhead, was also an officer during the Revolution. He
was the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch.
Charles Brodhead was born at Conyngham, Luzerne County, Pa.,
August 4, 1824, being a son of Albert Sallatin and Ellen
(Middagh) Brodhead. His father, a merchant of Conyngham, was for
several terms a member of the State Legislature from Luzerne
County, but in 1839 purchased and moved to the old Brodhead
homestead at Delaware, Pike County. The schools of the village
in which our subject was born, and where he resided until
fourteen, were very deficient in educational facilities, and
hence, during the winter of 1838-39, he was sent to the
academical school of Stroudsburg, kept by Ira Burrell Newman. In
the spring of 1840 he followed Mr. Newman to a newly established
boarding school at Dingman's High Falls, in Pike County, Pa. In
November 1840, he left the Pike County school and entered
Lafayette College, at Easton, then under the administration of
Rev. Dr. George Junkiman, entering the Freshman class. From that
institution he was graduated in 1844, during the presidency of
Rev. Dr. John W. Yeomans. Immediately after his graduation he
entered the law office of his uncle, Richard Brodhead, then
Member of Congress from the Tenth Legion (as the district was
then called) and subsequently United States Senator from
Pennsylvania.
During his student days Mr. Brodhead attended the law school
established in Philadelphia by that eminent lawyer, David
Hoffman, the author of "Course of Legal Study," "Legal
Outlines," and other works of merit. Mr. Brodhead was admitted
to the Bar at Easton in the November term of 1846. Shortly
subsequent to his admission he acted as Sheriff's Attorney for
three years, but shortly thereafter gave up the practice of law
and went into the real-estate business at Bethlehem. About that
time two railroads were in process of construction to Bethlehem:
the Lehigh Valley, in connection with the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, from New York; and the North Pennsylvania Railroad
from Philadelphia. Both roads had their lines located on the
south side of the Lehigh River at Bethlehem, and Mr. Brodhead in
1854 purchased one hundred acres of the Moravian farm lands on
that side of the river, and laid out what is now to a great
extent the borough of South Bethlehem. The population of this
place is now about twelve thousand, and he is one of its large
land-owners. He is also the owner of valuable realty in
Bethlehem, where among his other possessions he owns the famous
Sun Inn, built by the Moravian Congregation in 1758.
Upon laying out South Bethlehem, the first move of Mr. Brodhead
was to get a Government foundry established in that place. He
secured the recommendation of the Secretary of War, Jefferson
Davis, to Congress for the erection of Government foundries, and
through the efforts of Hon. Richard Brodhead, then United States
Senator from Pennsylvania, also procured a report from the
committee of the United States Senate in favor of erecting on at
Bethlehem; but when the report came in the Senate, every
Senator, of course, wanted that foundry in his state, every
Member of Congress wanted it in his 'deestrick," and the result
was no Government foundry for anybody; but, nevertheless, the
leaven worked, and to-day extensive works for the manufacture of
war material for the Government are in very successful operation
upon the very ground reserved by Mr. Brodhead for the Government
foundry in 1856, and which he subsequently sold to the Bethlehem
Iron Company.
Mr. Brodhead was early and earnest in his efforts to secure
manufacturing establishments at Bethlehem, and it was mainly due
to his active co-operation in the projects of Augustus Wolle
that the Bethlehem Iron Company's works were located in South
Bethlehem. The facts are briefly these: Mr. Wolle was, and
continued to be all his life, one of the most active and
progressive men that was ever in business in the Bethlehems, and
his particular talent was that of an executive officer. He had
leased what was known as the Gangewer Ore Bed, in Saucon
Township, and secured a charter for an organization called the
Saucon Iron Company, for the development of the Gangewer and
other veins of hematite ores. He urged Mr. Brodhead to join him
in the project, but the latter suggested that they unite forces
and put up works in South Bethlehem, for the extra cost of ore
transportation would be quite compensated for by the less cost
of transportation of coal, if stopped at Bethlehem. The result
was that Mr. Wolle, being himself a large land owner in South
Bethlehem, agreed upon that place as the site for the new works.
Mr. Brodhead then and there drew up a supplement to Mr. Wolle's
Saucona charter, which was subsequently passed by the
Pennsylvania Legislature, authorizing the company to make and
manufacture iron ores and iron into any shape or condition and
changing the name of the company to "The Bethlehem Rolling Mill
and Iron Company." Mr. Wolle was the first and largest
subscriber to the stock, and was followed by Messrs. Brodhead,
Daniel, Rauch, thr Moravian congregation, and others. Thus the
Bethlehem Mills became an accomplished fact.
Mr. Brodhead was the first to suggest the construction of the
New Street bridge, which, starting in Bethlehem, in Northampton
County, crosses the canal and railroad of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, the Monocacy Creek, a section of Lehigh
County, the Lehigh River, many tracks of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, and after a stretch of eleven hundred feet, terminates
in South Bethlehem. The Broad Street bridge, which connects
Bethlehem with West Bethlehem, was also one of Mr. Brodhead's
conceptions, the idea having first come to him when he was
having his engineers locate what was popularly known as "Charley
Brodhead's Huckleberry Railroad," now the Lehigh & Lackawanna
Railroad, leading from Bethlehem to the great slate quarries in
and about Chapman, Wind Gap, Pen Argyl and Bangor, with a branch
leading throught the famous Wind Gap of the Blue Mountains, and
extending to Saylor's Lake in Monroe County. The objective point
of the road is Stroudsburg ont eh Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad, a connection with which will make it the shortest rail
line for summer tourists from Philadelphia to the resorts at
Delaware Water Gap, Stroudsburg, the Pocono Mountains, Bushkill,
Dingman's High Falls and Milfors, on the Upper Delaware. This
road was projected by Mr. Brodhead, and pushed throught by him
with untiring perserverance and pertinacity. He was for many
years its President. It is now one of the leased lines of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey.
In 1873 Mr. Brodhead was elected a member of the constitutional
convention of Pennsylvania, and was the originator of several
valuable provisions in that instument, notably the one providing
for free telegraph lines, and prohibiting the consolidation of
parallel of competing lines, by reason of which the people of

supplies and material for the corporations with which they are
connected, or being interested in transportation lines or
contracts for transportation, which provisions have been very
beneficial to stockholders, who theretofore were often plundered
by unscrupulous officers and employes. He likewose introduced
and secured the adoption of the section which extened the terms
of County Treasurers to three years, and prohibited their
re-election, which has had a very salutary effect upon municipal
financiering. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Lehigh
University, and has ever manifested a warm interest in
educational affairs. His marriage, June 1, 1858, united him with
Miss Camilla M., daughter of Gen. Conrad Shimer an extensive
farmer, and prominent in the military and political affairs of
Northampton County.

BIOGRAPHY: W.E. Steger, 1998- John Harris Steger was born 23
September 1788 in Powhatan Co., Virginia. He died in 1860 at his
home "Kennon" in Amelia County which still was standing in 1998.
" John was highly regarded in business, religious and military
affairs. He was appointed to a number of county boards and
served on a number of administrative assignments for the county.
See Couture's POWHATAN, A BICENTENNIAL HISTORY. He served as
executor of several estates and appears to have practiced law,
although there is no formal record of his having been a licensed
member of the bar. he moved from Powhatan after selling "Walnut
Shade" in 1829 and relocated in Amelia County at "Kennon".
He was appointed as Captain of Infantry from Powhatan on 12
March 1813 and was a veteran of the War of 1812. Later he was
appointed by the Governor as Major. Many documents and letters
refer to him as Major Steger.
One of the real treasures of research was uncovered when the
location of approximately 80 original documents of John Harris
Steger and his son, John Overton Steger were discovered in the
Huntington Library in San Marino, CA. These papers were part of
the Brock Collection which were bought by the library in 1922".
