August 26, 1636, he joined Pieter Cornelisz and Claes Jansz in an agreement with the patroon for the erection of a mill in the colony. In this agreement he is given as tobacco planter, 29 years of age. He sailed with his wife Annetje Barents on the Rensselaerswyck, Oct. 8, 1636 and appears first in the colony under the date of April 17, 1637. Soon after his arrival he left Pieter Cornelisz and established himself as tobacco planter.
