In Hübertz papers (no. 227) is reproduced a maritime inquiry of November 25, 1568, when pirates boarded Claus Clausen's ship, a burgher from Rønne, but let it pass because Lübeck 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 "Borgmesterslægten Hartwig på Bornholm", (by K. Thorsen, 1943, Personalhistorisk Tidsskrift), Claus Kames was a Merchant (Købmand) and ship owner (skibsreder) in Rønne in 1558 and 1568, and later Alderman (Rådmand) in Rønne in 1584 when he was one of the delegates from all over Denmark were sent to Lund, in Skåne 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 Rønne: "Michel Herttuig, Borgemester, Esbern Kofod og Claus Kamiz, Raadmænd."
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:

The above "Claus Kam" of 1584 must be the same man who paid for the casting of a new bell for Aae Church, the inscription on the bell reads (translated from Low German): "1584 Claus Kames asked for me to be castat Maties Benni[n]ck's at the behest of the whole of Aae Church's congregation on Bornholm".

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.

From the original document, in old danish:
