====New Amsterdam - Immigrants====
EVERT PELS was born about 1616 in Stettin, Pomerania, and baptized June 5, 1624.
Historians are not consistent where he married as some indicated it was in Amsterdam, Netherlands while others said Kingston, Ulster County, New York. All agreed that it was to Jannetje Symons Schepmoes on December 15, 1641. Some omitted "Schepmoes" from her name. She was born about 1623, the daughter of Claertje.
A number of the sources indicated that shortly after marrying in Holland they left for America. This appears to be the most logical as he was a friend of Juriaen Westphalen (see S1131 above) and both were indentured servants to the same man, Killiaen Van Reassaiaer and it was known that Juriaen came to America in 1642, therefore they probably came together.
His indenture service was performed in Albany, New York. When completed they moved south about 1653 with Juriaen Westphalen to Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Evert was a brewer of beer.
A interesting story was told of this family.
On the evening of September 21, 1659 a party of Indian farm hands at Kingston were having a celebration on a bottle of brandy donated by Thomas Chambers after a day of corn husking. During the revelry, one of the excited Indians fired off a powder charge in a musket.
Ensign Smit, the garrison commander, sent out a patrol to investigate. After hearing about what was going on, Smit, under orders not to provoke hostilities with the Indians, decided not to interfere.
The settlers in the area were not in agreement and were getting tired of having to work their fields under the protection of armed guards, therefore, led by Jacob Stol and Evert Pels, a band of men with axes, muskets, and cutlasses attacked the hapless party of Indians on the Chambers' plantation, killing and wounding some.
On September 29, 1659, Kit Davis was dispatched down the river to inform Stuyvestant of the situation and obtain his instructions. A party of eighteen soldiers escorted Davis to his canoe for his travel down the river. While returning to the stockade, the group ran into an Indian ambush. Four soldiers escaped with the other fourteen taken prisoner without firing a shot.
Five of the captives were forced to run the gauntlet and then tortured to death by slow fire. One escaped and seven were held for ransom. The last captive was the son of Evert Pels (not named) who had struck the fancy of an Indian maid and adopted into the tribe. A year later he was still with the tribe refusing to be ransomed.
Evert Pels and Jannetje Symons Schepmoes were the parents of nine children; three sons and six daughters.
Evert died June 29, 1686 at Kingston, Ulster County, New York about 70 years old; his wife, Jannetje, died September 2, 1683 about 60 years old.

*'''Evert Evertsen Pels
*'''Birth: Jun. 5, 1616 Szczecin, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland
*'''Death: Jun. 29, 1686 Kingston, Ulster County, New York, USA
*'''He was born to his Dutch parents''', Schepen Evert Pels and Jannetje Schepmoes '''in Steltjen (Stettin). Stettin is the former capital of German Pomerania. It is now Szczecin, Poland. Appeared as before him, a sailor, aged 25 years, living in the Hasselaersteeg, having no parents (living in Amsterdam), accompanied by his uncle''' Pieter Smit, and '''Jannetje Sijmons''', daughter, aged 18 years living in the same place accompanied by her mother Claertje on November 31, 1641. '''He was engaged June 5, 1642 by Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, as a brewer for the colony for a term of six years. That same month, he sailed from the Texel, Holland, on the ship, "den Houttuyn", with his wife and servants. "A free man", he bought with him four large barrels, containing two "lasts" and eleven "muds" of malt of brewing. His arrival in Nieuw Amsterdam (now New York City) is given as August 4, 1642. In 1643''', a Wolpert Nys bound himself for two years as a servant to the Pels family. '''In 1649 Evert Pels bought property on the island of Manhattan and, in 1651, leased a farm on the North River. On November 28, 1651 and May 21, 1652, he was among those who took an oath of fidelity to the Patroon, Kiliaen Van Renesselaer. He is found in the records as the owner or skipper of a yacht. In 1678, it was written that he had also once lived on the Mill Creek in Greenbush. The Pels Family later left Rennsselaerwyck and settled in Wiltwyck (later called Kingston, New York). On September 1, 1659, he is reported as being a member of a scout party that attacked a group of Native Americans involved in a drunken brawl near Wiltwyck. He was appointed as one of the first schepens (magistrates) is settlement in 16(xx). In 1662, his appointment as a commissary was continued by Petrus Stuyvesant. In 1665, he was appointed a commissary of Kingston by the English Governor Richard Nicolls. He was again selected as a commissary in 1667. In 1669, he applied for and was granted the position of corn-measurer and watchman at the Rondout. He was reappointed to these positions in 1670. Later, during the summer of 1672, rumors reached Kingston that Dutch ships had arrived in New York City to retake the colony from the English. Evert Pels was one of two men dispatched to investigate the truth of the rumor. They were indeed true and the colony of New York temporarily became a possession of the Netherlands once more.
