- In H?bertz papers (no. 227) is reproduced a maritime inquiry of November 25, 1568, when pirates boarded Claus Clausen's ship, a burgher from R?nne, but let it pass because L?beck Captain Schweder Ketting's daughter was on board.
This Claus Clausen is assumed to be of the family Kames; however, other than the given name Claus, there appears to be no solid evidence to support the assumption that Claus Kamiz (-1558?-1584-) and Claus Clausen (-1568-) are in fact the same person.
According to "Borgmestersl?gten Hartwig p? Bornholm", (by K. Thorsen, 1943, Personalhistorisk Tidsskrift), Claus Kames was a Merchant (K?bmand) and ship owner (skibsreder) in R?nne in 1558 and 1568, and later Alderman (R?dmand) in R?nne in 1584 when he was one of the delegates from all over Denmark were sent to Lund, in Sk?ne province, to elect Prince Christian's (IV) as heir-apparent on July 20, 1584. Records from this time tell that the following delegates were sent to represent the citizens of R?nne: "Michel Herttuig, Borgemester, Esbern Kofod og Claus Kamiz, Raadm?nd." Claus Kames' widow, Margrethe, died on May 10, 1593.
Mention of Claus Kames in the probate of his descendant Dorothea Pedersdatter Kofoed, October 1, 1696, page 153:
Anno 1696 den 1 October er efter loulig giorde tillysning, holden registering og vurdering, sampt schifte of deehling efter Peder Hansens s. hustru Dorethea Peder Koefoedz daatter, som boede, og d?de paa den 22 Jord Eiendoms gaard beliggende udi Nykier Sogn. . . en skee med Claus Kam paa 1584 vegtig til 6 Mk. . . .
Mention of the above silver spoon (s?lv ske) engraved Claus Kames in the probate for Peder Hansen, March 2, 1711, page 141:
Anno 1711 dend 2 Marty, er efter loulig giorde tillysning holden rigtig registering og vurdering sampt skifte og liqvidation efter sal. Peder Hans?n som boede og d?de paa den 22de Jordejendoms gaard i Aaen i Nyeker Sogn. . . s?lf skee med 2 stempel paa teigned paa dend eene side paa skafted KLAUS KAM 1584 vejer 2 laad. . . .
The above "Claus Kam" of 1584 must be the same man who paid for the casting of a new bell for Aa Church, the inscription on the bell reads (translated from Low German): "1584 Claus Kames asked for me to be cast at Maties Benni[n]ck's at the behest of the whole of Aa Church's congregation on Bornholm".
