Notes:

Evert Pels, from Stettin, Pomerania, his wife and a servant came from Amsterdam, Holland, to the colony of Rensselaerswyck in 1642. While still in Amsterdam, on June 5,1642, he was engaged as a brewer for the term of six years, they were to travel to the Colony of Rensselaerswyck to work the Patroon, Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, [who remained in Holland but had engaged others to administer the Colony for him and his partners, who formed a Board of Directors for the Colony.] Evert Pels and his wife came on the ship den Houttuyn. and landed in New Amsterdam, now New York City. They then went up the Hudson River to Beaverwyck, now Albany, New York. Evert Pels was a freeman. He paid his own way to the Colony and was therefore not indentured to the patroon for a number of years as were those who bound them selves as servants to the patroon for a number of years in exchange for passage to the Colony. The document, dated June 3, 1642, that gives the details of Evert Pels emigration does not give the name of his wife, Jannetje Symons., but we now know that she is the wife who came with him from Amsterdam. Nor does the memo give the name of the servant who came with them. Evert Pels was a very enterprising man. After his 6 year contract as a brewer was finished; on Feb. 28, 1648, he leased a farm on Papscanee Island for six years, at f560 a year, but after building a new house and barns, he transferred the lease Jan 14, 1649, to Juriaen Bestvall and Jochem Kettelheym. [Both of whom had come to the New Netherlands on the same ship as Evert These were two men who had come to the colony by contracting with the patroon to work for 6 years as laborers. Their time was now served and they were able to lease a farm and work for themselves.] Evert Pels turned the farm over to them on March 25, 1649. Nov. 18,1649, he leased jointly with Willem Fredericksz (Bout),a farm in Greenbush, for which he is charged in the accounts with an annual rent of f400, from May 1, 1649 until 1661 when he moved to the Esopus; the same day they also leased the saw-and grist-mill in Greenbush, for which he is charged with an annual rent of f125, from May 1, 1649, till May 1, 1658.. He also owned a sloop on the river and a lot on Broadway in Manhattan, which he sold in 1656. In 1657 he sent down to New Amsterdam 2100 beaver skins. He advised the Director of the colony on Horses and other farm animals. For more information see http://evertpelshistory.blogspot.com
