"Daniel Brodhead son of Richard, was born at Marbletown, N.Y. in 1693; he married Hester WYNGART, and moved to Pennsylvania in 1737. He settled on Analoming Creek, called since that time Brodhead's Creek. He purchased 640 acres of land, in the center of which East Stroudsburg is now located. The western boundary line started near the old forge, passed near the graveyard, and continued on the west side of the creek till beyond what is called the "Flower Garden". Besides East Stroudsburg the tract embraced the properties now owned by Mr. Robert Brown and Mr. Christian Smith. He afterwards purchased what is now the eastern portion of Stroudsburg, as far as the mill dam of Mr. William Wallace. He called the settlement Dansbury, and it was known by that name till Stroudsburg was founded by Jacob Stroud in 1769.
In 1744 Daniel Brodhead first became acquainted with the Moravian Missionaries, Shaw, Brice, and Mack, whose way to Shekomeko (in Dutchess Co., N.Y.) passed through his settlement. With the character of these self-sacrificing Christian men he was very favorably impressed, and was their warm friend and supporter ever after, in the face of much influential opposition at the time. They established a mission-house on his property which was situated on the west side of the creek, near the iron bridge, and was called Dansbury mission. In the outbreak of 1755 he is represented as a man of great courage and intrepidity, remaining with his sons and defending his family, and others who came there for assistance, against the attacks of the Indians, when the whole surrounding country had been abandoned.
Daniel Brodhead had ten children. Four sons and one daughter survived him, named Daniel, Garret, Charles, Luke, and Ann Garten. He died on a visit to Bethlehem July 22, 1755.

"…moved to Pennsylvania about 1735, settling on what is now Brodhead Creek, near Stroudsburg, in what was then Bucks county, but is now a part of Monroe county. He laid cut a town about a mile square and named it Dansbury, a station on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. From him are descended all the Brodheads of Pennsylvania.
The line of descent from the founder of the family came through Richard Brodhead and his wife Magdalena Jensen. He was born in 1666, and died in 1758, while his wife died in 1707. Their only son Daniel, who established the family in Pennsylvania, was born April 20, 1693. In 1726 he was a merchant in Albany, New York; a licensed Indian trader in 1730; and in 1737 or 1738 he removed to Pennsylvania, where he built the town of Dansbury, and established a mill, and also a Moravian church. He was commissioned justice of the peace, September 25, 1747, and died in Bethlehem, July 22, 1755. His wife was Hester WYNGART, and their children were: Thomas Garton, who was born in 1723, and died at sea; Garrett Lucas, born in 1724; Richard B., in 1726; Ann Garton, in 1727; Charles, September 7, 1729; Garrett, January 21, 1733; Daniel, October 17, 1736; John _____; and Luke, in 1741.
