| Buyer Notes | On 21 June 1612, Dierick Govertsz. Wuijtiers, 23 years old, living in the Warmoesstraet, assisted by his father Govert Dircksz. Wuijtiers and by his mother Dieuwer Jacobs, was betrothed to Catharina de Wal Jans, from Venice, 22, living as above, assisted by her father Jan de Wal (DTB 416/204). Jan de Wal (or Wael) (I), born in Wevelgem in Southern Netherlands, first spent some time in Venice (where his daughter Catharina was born) before settling in Amsterdam, where he was first noted in 1594. He died after 1622 (Gelderblom, Prosopographic Data Base and Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 318). Dirck Govertsz.'s mother was Dieuwer Jacobs Benning. The house in the Warmoesstraat?, 1968 called de Engelenburch, had been bought by Govert Dircksz. Wuytiers on 6 November 1604. It was still inscribed in the name of Dirck Wuytiers (per Jan van Erpecum) in 1647 (Kam, Waar was dat huis in de Warmoesstraat?, 1968 p. 366, 36/19). On 20 March 1614, Dirck Wuijtiers and Katarijne de Wael had their daughter Lijsbet baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Govert Wuijtiers, Dieuwer Jacobs, and Margareta de Wael (DTB 5/100). Dirck Wuijtiers's sister Liefgen Goverts Wuijtiers was the wife of the late Jacob Poppen (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 286). Dirck Wuijtiers was also the brother of Annetge Wuijtiers of R 7660. In 1608, both Dirck Wuytiers and his father Govert Wuytiers signed a petition to the burgomasters of Amsterdam requesting the revocation of a prohibition on the use of cashiers to effect money transfers (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken, R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 16). In 1615, Dirck Wuytiers was a master of the Gasthuiskerck (Jan Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 129). On 8 May 1616, Dirck Wuijtiers and Catharina de Wael had their son Govert baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Dieuwer Jacobs and Jackes de Wael, who was apparently identical with Jaques de Wael who was a witness to the baptism of a child of Pieter Cuelenaer in 1614 (R 27612) (DTB 5/185). On 29 June 1617, the couple had their son Jan baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Jan de Wael de oude (the grandfather of the child) and Aechjen Wouters (DTB 5/219). On 14 October 1635, Jacob Cromholt, assisted by his father Hendrick Cromholt (of R 20492), his mother Aeltgen Goverts, and by Aechte Hendricks, widow of Barthold Cromholt, burgomaster, his grandmother, and his uncle Francois Kies, signed a pre-nuptial contract with Margrieta Wuijtiers, assisted by her father Dirck Wuytiers, her mother Catharina de Wals, the heer Joan de Wals, her grandfather, and Francois Kies, her uncle by marriage (NA 21, fol. 18, Not. Salomon Hendricx). Margriet Wuytiers married Jacob Cromhout in 1635. The Wuytiers family reverted to Roman Catholicism and could no longer hold municipal offices (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 269). In 1631, Dirck Wuijtiers paid a tax of 700 f. at which time he was living on the Heeregracht (Kohier, p. 70, fol. 306v.) In 1617, he served as one of the Regenten of the Binnengasthuys, at which time he was portrayed with the other regents by Cornelis van der Voort. It is known that each of the regenten portrayed had paid 50 f. for the honor (A. Blankert, Amsterdams Historisch Museum, 1975/1979, pp. 350-1). On 11 April 1636, Dirck Wuytiers, along with 30 other merchants, signed a declaration of support for the merchant Adriaen van Ackerlaeck, asserting that he was still credit-worthy (NA 695A, film 4821). Willem Govertsz. Wuytiers was presumably the brother of Dirck Wuytiers. His son Jan Benningh (perhaps identical with the buyer of R 26500) was sick when he passed his testament on 26 November 1637 (NA 866, fol. 384, Not. van Zwieten). Jan Benningh derived his name from his grandmother Dieuwer Jacobs Benningh. Warnar Ernst van Bassen was said to be still alive in 1654 (Amsterdammers geportretteerd; Kopstukken 1600-1800 (N. Middelkop ed.), Exh. Cat. 2002/2003,, p. 184). | |
