Annatye Isaacse Provoost was born in 1642 at Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York to Isaac Johannes and Angenita Gillis Ten Waert Provoost. Harmon came to New York from the Netherlands in 1652. About 1655, he had a son, Harmanus, most likely by a Mohican Indian woman. He sold his home in Beverwyck, where he had been a first settler, in 1657. He was a trader, merchant and an Indian trader. In 1660, he went back to Holland, most likely to buy goods to trade and sell in New York. He was an agent for Dirk de Wolfe of Amsterdam and erected a salt kettle on Coney Island, New York, but soon after abandoned it when a case against him went to court in 1661. In 1661, he married Annatye and their children were: 2 children who died very young, Albert (#148447533), Arent and Angenietje. He was one of the fifteen founders of Schenectady in 1662, October 1664 took Oath of Obedience to the King of England and the Duke of York following the surrender of New Amsterdam to the English, lived in Albany in 1667, 1668 in Holland with other merchants from New York, he purchased goods and chartered the ship KING CHARLES and obtained permission from the King of England to send the ship and supplies to New York, 1672 built a home in Schenectady and was one of three Magistrates there, February 8, 1673 Annatye died in Schenectady, Harmon married another unknown woman who may have been a Mohawk and their children were: Corset and Johannes. February 9, 1690, his sons Johannes and Albert were carried away to Canada by the French and Indians following the Schenectady Massacre, later redeemed and returned. Harmon died May 3, 1715 in Schenectady. There is a historical plaque naming Harmon located at the back of the Rotterdam Square Mall in Rotterdam, New York that says he probably is buried there, where many other members of his family were buried. This land at one time belonged to Harmon.
