      Pieter Janse Hagewolt, b. Abt 1621,, & died, 1661-62, in Flatbush, Long Island, New York. He married Femmetje Hermans. He immigrated from Holland to New Amsterdam in Apr 15, 1660.
      This son Pieter Jans Haughwout was probably the emigrant ancestor of the Leffert-Haughwout families in the United States
      Source (1) Pieter purchased a house in Flatbush in 1661 and died before 15 Oct 1662 . From an application made by Femmetje Hermans to have guardians appointed for the two youngest children on 15 Oct 1662, we learn their names & their ages. Leffert is age 11 yrs. & Pieter Pierterse is 2 & a half yrs. Apparently the father Pieter Jans & his two older children have died in the 2 & a half yrs. between 15 Apr 1660 & 15 Oct 1662. Pieter Jans purchased a house & a lot in the town of Flatbush (which is now within New York city limits),in 1661, as per p. 47 of Liber B of Flatbush records. He was a shoemaker & farmer by trade.
