A Conversation about Slavery in the Hudson Valley: Two Linked Descendants Share Their Story
Oct 7, 2023 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM Location: 1 Clermont Ave, Germantown, NY 12526 Debra Bruno and Eleanor Mire grew up knowing nothing of the history of slavery in the Hudson Valley. Through a genealogy Facebook group, they discovered that they both descended from families in Greene County--and that Debra’s ancestors enslaved Eleanor’s ancestors. Through further research, they learned that their connection was probably also a genetic one. In a lecture at Clermont State Historic Site on Saturday, October 7th, Debra and Eleanor will tell this story. In a speech that alternates between them, they will share pictures of Mary Vanderzee, the matriarch of Eleanor’s family, pictures of her final home, her gravesite, and of the Van Bergen Overmantel in Cooperstown---a painting that likely includes both of their ancestors. Debra wrote about this story in a 2020 Washington Post Magazine article called “History Lessons.” She is currently writing a book, “A Hudson Valley Reckoning: Uncovering the Secrets of Enslavers in My Colonial Dutch Family,” with an afterword by Eleanor.
