The Bertrand's left Bertrand, Michigan, in 1840 with a a group of Indians for the reserve on Sugar Creek in what is now Linn County, Kansas arriving there the 29th of October, 1840. They remained on this reserve until the move to the new one on the north banks of the Kaw River in the Fall of 1848. Joseph Jr. was a trader and interpreter for the Indians. He accompanied the government agent to Council Bluff in 1846 to interpret the new treaty to that group of Potawatomi, the treaty uniting all the Potawatomi and placing them on the new reserve on the Kaw.
He also led the Catholic father, Fr. Verreydt and Fr. Gailland across the river to the new reserve in September of 1848. Here he died on the 6th of November of 1848. The cause of death is not noted in the records but Fr. Gailland mentions that many were sick with a fever and bedfast for many days.
From his mother's side of the family, he was a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
