Johannes Hardenbergh
Major Johannes Hardenbergh (1670–1745), also known as Sir Johannes Hardenbergh, was the owner of the Hardenbergh patent of land in the Catskill Mountains.
==Biography==
He was born in Albany, New York, was High Sheriff of Ulster County in 1690. He served as a Major in the Ulster County Regiment.
In 1706, Hardenbergh bought the immense tract of land since known as the "Hardenbergh patent", which covered some of the Catskill Mountains in what is today Sullivan, Ulster and Delaware counties, from Nanisinos, ''sachem'' of the Esopus Indians, for the sum of 60 pounds.〔The Catskills: From Wilderness to Woodstock, 1972 by Alf Evers〕 The purchase was subsequently confirmed and patent was granted to Hardenbergh and six others in 1708. There were some disputes as to whether Hardenbergh's acquisition of the property had been truly legal. Indeed, in 1769 another former British officer, John Bradstreet, filed a claim to based on that very assumption.
Shares in the patent changed hands frequently, and the terms under which the land was sold or leased were so varied and complex that it impeded settlement of the district and clouded the title to most of its tracts until well after the American Revolution.
