Biography

"Pieter Hartgers (Hartgars, Hartgras, Harties, Hartiens, Hertgers); signs his name Pieter hartgerts. He is credited in the accounts with a salary of f14 a month, from Nov., 1, 1644, to Feb. 1, 1648, and during this period, which closely corresponds to that of van Curler's absence, appears to have assisted de Hooges in the management of the colony [Rensselaerswyck]. From 1647 to 1652, he is charged with f32 a year for ground rent and the right to trade, and as early at 1646 he seems to have had a brewery. May 4, 1649, he and de Hooges leased for three years a garden between Fort Orange and the patroon's hof, where formerly the patroon's trading house stood, and about the same time Pieter Hartgers agreed to pay an annual rent, beginning in 1653, of four beavers for a lot for his mother in law, Annetjen Dome. [Annetje Jans, widow of Domine Bogardus] on which he built a house. From May 1, 1653, to May 1, 1658, Pieter Hartgers, Volckert Jansz and Jan Thomas were joint lessees of a farm on Papscanee Island, formerly occupied by Juriaen Bestval. Pieter Hartgers was at Amsterdam Dec. 20, 1660, and made an agreement with Jan Baptist van Rensselaer, regarding the purchase of 30 pieces of duffel which were to be delivered to him on his return to Fort Orange [New Netherland]." ^[1]
