- Fra Borgmesterslægten Hartwig paa Bornholm af K. Thorsen, side 227.
Den ældste Søn fik
Navnet Claus efter sin Morfar. Det er den Claus Hartvigh, som
nævnes foran blandt Rønne-Raadmænd i 1608. Han var Købmand
og Skipper med Søfart særlig paa Lybæk. H erfra hjemførte
han i 1620 som Gave til Rønne Kirke en stor Lysekrone, der
foruden Aarstallet bærer Indskrift: »Claus Hartvigh. Christine
Niemans.« Paa Opgangen til Prædikestolen i den gamle Kirke
fandtes Indskriften: »1623. Jørgen Franck, Claus Hartwig, Holger
Madsen, Claus Bone, Peder Kofod, Fock Stoffroff, Raadmænd
(Thura 1756). Claus Hartwigs første Hustru afgik ved Døden ved
Aar 1621, hvorefter han ægtede Bodil Pedersdatter Koefoed,
Datter af Frimand Peder Koefoed, til Kofoedgaard i Østermarie og
Baggegaard i Klemensker, og Hustru Inger Uf, Datter af Frimand
Peder Hansen Uf, Landsdommer, til Simblegaard i Klemensker.
Claus Hartwig fik en voldsom Død, idet han i Kejserkrigen, ved
Aar 1630, »med Skude og Gods var bleven udplyndret og ihjelskudt
udfor Wismar,« nævner en senere Retsakt.

Claus Hartwig's first wife died in 1621, afterwards he married Boel Pedersdatter Kofoed, daughter of "Frimand" Peder Kofoed. He owned Lille Kalbygård, 16' Vdg. Åker. Boel's second marriage was to Christen Laursen, Customs Officer (Tolder) and Bailiff (Byfoged) in Rønne in 1640. Christen was the brother of Peder Laursen (Møller), the mayor of Rønne in 1646-1674.
As an Alderman (Rådmand) he was among the Rønne 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.
