A.J.F. van Laer makes a good point in that his name appears in records as "Cors" and that it wasn't necessarily short for Cornelis (see information added under the Name heading) and in fact, some of his descendants use the surname of "Corsen". Therefore I've changed his name to Cors with a nickname of Cornelis.
Peter is the Americanized or translation of the very common Dutch name Pieter, so I would stick by Pieter, come across many translated Pieters who actually were named Pieter and now were named Peter (Pieter van Stuyvesant for example ...)
The old way of writing is Langeraer ( aa those days was written as ae)
I've posted numerous sources on G2G in response to Stephen's Mix's question re: NAB to support the LNAB as Pieterse or Pietersen... Also his first name was Cornelis, not Cors.
