there is no Petrus Ouderogge known, I think you mean Petrus overney.
Peter Overney, from Suawoude, Leeuwarden was active in the period 1670-1711, more than forty years accordingly. In 1671 he married the widow of the bell and cannon founder Jurrien Balthasar whose successor he was. Even when he became a citizen of Leeuwarden. The same year he received from the States of Friesland the exclusive right to cast exclusively clocks, and guns in that province. this right was repeated in 1685. Overney was a prolific bell founder, although he, apparently, has made only clocks in the provinces of Friesland and Groningen.
re: founder Ouderogge
this was a family of founders.
jan corneliszoon 1573-1625 cornelis 1599-1672 and brother Dirk 1600-1645 and the son of Cornelis Johannes 1640-??.
which person of the Ouderogge's family are you looking for, is your Ouderogge cannon dated?
(so if your cannon is dated 1681 is must have been made by Johannes ouderogge!)
best,
