Excerpt from The New Netherland Register, Vol. 1: January 1911
Jacob Jansen Plodder or Gardenier is stated to have been in New Netherland as early as 1638. In 1642 he had returned to Holland and while at Amsterdam called on Kiliaen Van Rensselaer to ask permission to do carpenter's work in the colony. The patroon was willing to engage him at the daily wages agreed upon with the freemen. Plodder would not con sent to this but wanted a good deal more. The upshot was that Plodder returned to the colony as an independent carpen ter, taking work on contract, sometimes laboring for private parties, at other times working for the colony upon definite specifications and at a definite price.
