Individual Notes
• 11th of 11 children.4217, p 152
• Something to Note: The Harsens Island Historical Society records refer to Gerrit Graveraet as Isaac Garrett Graveraet. This is a mishap in reference to his name that I have discovered many times over. He is actually Gerrit Grevenraedt (original spelling of his name) as listed in the PDF titled "Isaac Graveraet - Graveraet Family” [Source 7860] as No. 60 on the last page of the PDF. In deeds of record, court documents, and other historical writings, I have never seen him referred to as "Isaac Garrett Graveraet." It has always been as the NYG&B Genealogy shows as "Gerrit Graveraet."
If I were you I would refer to him with his real first name of Gerrit with the Michigan spelling of his surname as Graveraet. Isaac was the name of his father and of one of Gerrit's sons, Isaac G. Graveraet (this son is not published about much and I do not have a lot of information on him - I believe he died in the War of 1812. But he was referred to as Jacob Harsen's grandson in his petition to the British government's land board when he sought a private claim for the island in 1790- and he is also referred to in old deeds of record when the island was split up between his children and his one granddaughter Mary Graveraet by agreement as accepted by the Detroit Land Board in 1820). I hate to perpetuate the misuse of the name. Sorry for being so picky.4008
