- Claus Hartwig's first wife died in 1621, afterwards he married Boel Pedersdatter Kofoed, daughter of "Frimand" Peder Kofoed. He owned Lille Kalbyg?rd, 16 Vdg. ?ker. Boel's second marriage was to Christen Laursen, Customs Officer (Tolder) and Bailiff (Byfoged) in R?nne in 1640. Christen was the brother of Peder Laursen (M?ller), the mayor of R?nne in 1646-1674.
As an Alderman (R?dmand) he was among the R?nne town-council delegation that in 1608 put their signatures to the election of Prince Christian (1603-1647) as Crown Prince elect, the next in line to be king; the document regarding this reads as follows.
From the original document, in old danish:
"Wi effterschreffne Esbern Kofod, Borgemester i Rothne, Madz Raffn, Anders Jenss?n, Hermand Bohn, J?rgen Franch och Claus Hartvigh, Raadmend ibid., sambt det gandske burgerskaff her wdj Rothne, saa och det gandske gemeine burgerskaff aff Nexe, och denn menig Almue aff de andre smaabyer och fiskeleyer, Hasle, Suannicke och Aakirckebye, som ingen Kongl.

The above translated to english:
"We the undersigned Esper Kofod, Mayor in R?nne, Mads Ravn, Anders Jensen, Herman Bohn, J?rgen Franck and Claus Hartwig, Aldermen ibid., as well as the entire trade-license holders here in R?nne, and also the entire trade-license holders of Nex?, also the common folk from all the other small towns and fishing-villages: Hasle, Svaneke and Aakirkeby, which have no Royal-Privileges, we hereby declare for One and All that we have been requested to send Delegates to K?benhavn on Trinity Sunday, for the election of Prince Christian; Therefore the Honest and Well-Bred Man Hans Lindenov of ?rslev, has with everyones good will and consent requested these two danish men, whom are the Honest and Well-Respected Men Michel Hartwig, Mayor in R?nne, and Mauritz Jensen, Mayor in Nex?", to travel to K?benhavn on behalf of all Bornholmers. Hans Lindenov was the "lienholder" (vassal) for Bornholm 1594-1610.
In 1620 he had brought from "Lyb?k" (L?beck) a large chandelier, which he gave to R?nne Church; as well as the year, it bears an inscription.
Recorded in 1630: "Med Skude og Gods udplyndret og ihjelskudt udfor Wismar" -- (As ship and goods were robbed he was shot to death -- defying Wismar). Wismar is a north coastal German city.
