Rutgers. Two brothers, Rutger and Teunis Jacobse Van Schoenderwoert, or Van Woert, were among the early settlers of Beverwyck and originated two families, distinct in name and loyalty. Rutger Jacobsen's descendants assumed the surname of Rutgers, and were later found in New York and vicinity; his brother Teunis's descendants took the surname Van Schoenderwoert, or simply Van Woert, and settled chiefly in Albany county. [See Van Woert.]

Rutger Jacobsen, alias Rut Van Woert, was a man of considerable repute and wealth in the little village in which he served as magistrate many years, probably until his death in 1665. His business was varied; he owned a sloop upon the river which he sometimes commanded himself; at other times, Abraham De Truwe [Truax now] was his skipper; he was a considerable dealer in village lots and farming lands, among which was the island called Pachonakellick or Mohicander's Island, "obliquely over against Bethelehem," owned in partnership with Andries Herbertsen Constapel, and hence sometimes called Constapel's island. In 1654, he bought Jacob Janse Van Noorstrant's brewery and lot in Beaver street nearly opposite the present Middle Dutch church, which was inherited by his son Herman; he m. Tryntje Janse Van Breestede in New Amsterdam, June 3, 1646; her sister Dorotee subsequently m. Volckert Janse Douw. After Rutger Jacobsen's death, his widow in her old age, m. Hendrick Janse Roseboom, Dec. 5, 1695. She is said to have d. at her son's in 1711 at a very great age. It is not known that Jacobsen had more than three ch: two daughters, Margaret, who m. Jan Janse Bleecker; and Engel, bp. in New Amsterdam, April 10, 1650; and one son, Harmen.

Rutgers, Harmen, son of Rutger Jacobsen Van Schoenderwoert last mentioned, was probably b. in Beverwyck soon after his father moved there; he was still living in 1720. He was a brewer, his brewery, which he sold in 1765 to Goosen Gerritse Van Schaick and Pieter Lassingh, being on the east half of the present Exchange Block; in 1678, Richard Pretty, collector of the excise complained of him for defrauding the excise and selling beer to the Indians, but after considerable litigation the complaint was dismissed. He had two sons, Anthony and Harmen, who settled in New York.
