He settled at the Aal-plaats (122-3) near Jonathan Stevens, whose daughter Anna he married in 1716. He was probably a son of Harmanus Hagedorn whose widow Maria Dirkse married Jonathan Dyer in 1695.
15 Sept., 1733, Johannes and Hendrick, two Indians, conveyed to Hendrick Hagedorn an Aal-plaats lying near the "Aal-plaats kil, beginning at a point 100 rods above the riff on the north side of the Mohawk river and running thence 200 rods down the river, thence across the river to the south bank, thence 200 rods up the river, thence across the river to the place of beginning, all the water within these four bounds — for the purpose of fishing and hunting."
Signed by Johannes with the mark of the turtle, and by Hendrick with the mark of the deer. (122-4)
