BRATTLE, Thomas, merchant, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 5 September, 1657; died there, 18 May, 1713. He was graduated at Harvard in 1676, and became treasurer of the College. He wrote "Eclipse of the Sun and Moon observed in New England," published in the "Philosophical Transactions" for 1704; "Lunar Eclipse, New England, 1707"; and a private letter giving an account of the witchcraft delusion in 1692, which is preserved in the "Massachusetts Historical Collections."
--His brother, William, was pastor of the church in Cambridge, having been previously a tutor in Harvard College. He published a treatise on logic entitled "Compendium logicae secundum Principia died Renati Cartesii," which was long used as a recitation-book in the College. His death, at the age of fifty-four, occurred on 15 February, 1717.
--William, son of William, loyalist, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about 1702 ; died in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in October, 1776. He was graduated at Harvard in 1722, studied theology, and preached acceptably; then became a lawyer, and was for many years a member of the legislature and of the governor's council. He also practiced medicine extensively, and was besides a military man, becoming captain of the artillery company in 1733, and afterward major general of militia. His talents and attractive manners made him a favorite with the governor, and popular among the people. When the revolutionary war began, his attachment to General Gage impelled him to side with the British. He withdrew to Boston, and, when the troops evacuated that City, accompanied them to Halifax. A well-known street in Boston commemorates the family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Encyclopedia Britannica:
Little is known of Brattle's career in business, except that he amassed a considerable fortune and made several generous gifts to Harvard. He was made treasurer of the college in 1693 and held this office until his death; under his supervision the financial assets of the college were notably augmented.
Brattle was an accomplished amateur mathematician and astronomer and took an abiding interest in the forms of religious worship. He leaned toward the Church of England and for this reason incurred the displeasure of Cotton Mather. Brattle declined to be drawn into serious religious controversies and instead proceeded quietly to organize, with others, the Brattle Street Church in Boston. This edifice was completed in 1699. He was an influential protester against the persecution of “witches” in 1692 and, in that year, circulated a pamphlet “giving a full and candid account of the delusion called witchcraft.”

Thomas Brattle, one of the most outspoken opponents of the witchcraft, is buried beneath a black table stone with a brick foundation in the northeast portion of the [King's Chapel] cemetery. The inscription on the stone can barely be discerned. It reads:
HERE LYES THE BODY OF THOMAS BRATTLE ESQR ONE OF HER MAJESTYES JUSTICES FOR THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK & TREASURER OF HARVARD COLLEGE WHO DYED MAY THE 18th 1713 ANNO AETATIS 55.
Brattle graduated from Harvard College in 1676 and later became a fellow of London's Royal Society. In October 1692, he wrote his famous "Letter" which denounced the witch trials and helped bring them to a close. It is widely believed that Brattle supplied much of the material contained in Robert Calef's More Wonders of the Invisible World. 10

CAPT. THOMAS BRATTLE AND HIS MEN
Thomas Brattle was born about 1624. Was a merchant of good standing in Boston in 1656; was of the Artillery Company in 1675. He was an enterprising land-purchaser, and bought large tracts on the Kennebec and the Merrimac, the latter of the Indians. He owned valuable iron works at Concord, and was deputy from that town from 1678-1681; also from Lancaster, 1671--2. Was one of the founders of the Old South Church, and in 1671 one of the commissioners sent to treat with Philip at Taunton; and in nearly all the relations of public life he appears as one of the most active and influential men of the colony. He married, probably in 1656, Elizabeth Tyng, daughter of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Coytemore) Tyng, whose tragic death, Nov. 9th, 1682, is recorded in Judge Sewall's Diary. Their children, born in Boston, were -- Thomas, born Sept. 5, 1657, died same day; Thomas, born June 20, 1658; Elizabeth, born Nov. 30th, 1660; William, born Nov. 22, 1662; Katharine, born Sept. 26, 1664; Bethiah, born Aug. 13, 1666; Mary, born Aug. 10, 1668; Edward, born Dec. 18, 1670. Thomas Brattle was appointed Cornet of the Suffolk troop, May 30th, 1670; Lieutenant, Oct. 13, 1675; Captain, May 5, 1676. When the war broke out, Capt. Brattle was an immediate and important friend of the colony. He loaned the colony two hundred pounds, and in the first few months of the war he is personally credited with cash, supplies and service to the amount of fifteen hundred pounds upon the treasurer's accounts.
Sept. 8, 1675, the Council orders Cornet Thomas Brattle, with a party of horsemen under his command, to take fifty soldiers who are appointed to meet him at Leftenant Thomas Henchman's, in Groton, and distribute them according to his discretion in the towns of Dunstable, Groton and Lancaster; and to arrange with the inhabitants for the support and aid of their garrisons; also to settle affairs, so far as possible, with the friendly Indians at Wamesit, Nashoba and Marlborough, to induce the chief Wannalancet to return and live quietly at Wamesit, giving his son as a hostage into the hands of the English, etc. The issue of this affair will appear in the account of the Pennacooks. Capt. Brattle was engaged in the organization and supply of the several expeditions west and south. He was personally with the forces at Narraganset, in the reorganization of the army after the Swamp Fight. On May 15th, 1676, in the expedition to Hassanamesit under Capt. Henchman, Capt. Brattle, with a party of horse, fell upon the Indians between Mendon and Hassanamesit and killed about twenty, of whom four were squaws. The enemy dispersed into the swamps, and the main body escaped.
On May 24th, Capt. Brattle "with a troope of horse," about fifty, went in pursuit of the Indians "that had newly done spoyle at Seaconcke." With a small party of foot, he arrived at the Falls of "Pocatuck River," being on the Seaconck side. The Indians appeared on the opposite side in force. Leaving the foot behind, Capt. Brattle led the troopers up the river, where they crossed with great difficulty, and soon came down upon the Indians and put them to a disastrous flight, capturing large store of their fish and other supplies, killing several. One of the English was killed, and Cornet Elliot was wounded in the hand. The dead soldier was carried to Seaconck and buried. An Indian boy was captured who testified that these Indians were three or four hundred, and belonged to "Nepsachuit." See Col. Records, vol. v. p. 96, the full letter of the General Court. June 30th, 1676, Capt. Brattle is sent on an expedition towards Mount Hope with instructious as follows:
Instructions for Capt. Thomas Brattle
You are to take twenty of your Troope with such officers as you shall see meete, together with an officer & ten Trooprs of Left.

In this expedition Capt. Mosely was joined, as related by Mr. Hubbard. The plan was carried out, but when they arrived at the swamp they found the wily chief and his body guard "newly gone." They, however, joined with the Plymouth forces under command of Major Bradford, and succeeded, before their return home in the latter part of July, in securing the Plymouth and southern towns, and in killing or capturing one hundred and fifty of the enemy.
Capt. Thomas Brattle died April 5th, 1683. He left, it is said, the largest estate1 in New England at that time. His son (1 In the old Court files, Book 8, is preserved the following, which may be of interest as describing) Capt. Brattle's Kennebec grant:
"Thomas Brattle in behalf of himself & other the Heirs of Capt. Thomas Brattle, Mr. Antipas Boyes, Mr. Edward Tyng & John Winslow claims a certain Tract of Land in America in or between & extending from the utmost Bounds of Cobbeseconte which adjoineth to the River of Kennebeck towards the Western Ocean, and a Place called the Falls at Nequamkeek & a Place of fifteen English Miles on both Sides the River called Kennebeck River & all the said River that
lyeth within the said Limits & bounds Eastward, Westward, Northward & Southward as per Deed from the Governmt of Plimouth Colony dated 27 Octor 1661 & Orderly recorded. "A true copy Examined pr THOs CLARKE Depty Sec'ty."
Thomas administered upon the estate. This son Thomas graduated at Harvard, 1676, and was eminent for his scholarship, especially in mathematics. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, which was a mark of great distinction to an American. He was celebrated for his opulence, talents and benevolence; was treasurer of Harvard College from 1693 to his death, May 18, 1713. He was never married. William Brattle, second son of Capt. Thomas, graduated at Harvard College in 1780, and received degree of B.D. in 1692, and in 1696 was ordained pastor of the church in Cambridge. He was a celebrated scholar and preacher, being especially liberal for his time. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel Hayman, of Charlestown, Nov. 3, 1697, and by her had two sons, of whom William, the eldest, inherited his grandfather's Narraganset claim. 11
