Did he actually work as a land commissioner for the DWIC and also do something else for the Patroonship? What exactly did he do for Rensselaer? Did he continue working for the Patroonship after his four-year contract ran out? I would love to find out. I, too, am one of his many many descendants. I would love whatever information you might have. Thank you very much.<br /><br />Alexandra Wilhelmsen (using my husban'ds account)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522111375667828138noreply@blogger.com
