Commentary	On 5 October 1605, Antonis Gerritsz. Davelaer, 24, living in the Warmoesstraet, assisted by (his mother) Marie van Blockland, widow of Gerrit van Davelaer, was betrothed to Anneken Huge Kools, living in Delft (DTB 762a/222). On 30 April 1617, Hans Pietersz. of R 38078 bought half the house called de Waterhont in the Warmoesstraet from Anthoni van Davelaer (Kam, Waar was dat huis in de Warmoesstraat?, 37/22, p. 472.) The portrait of Davelaers bestemoer was recorded in the inventory of Margeriete van Linde, widow of Jan de Bruyn van Berendrecht (R 2253 of Montias2). In 1643 A. Davelaer signed a petition, along with a number of other Amsterdam merchants, calling for reinforcement of the currency (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken R.G.P. 59(1625). p. 85). On 3 March 1643, Anthoni van Davelaer, together with with the advocate Jan Veneman and the broker Harman Jansz. Verwou, and some other investors bought into a scheme for importing oxen from Hamburg. The share of the three associates was 200 oxen (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 366-7). In an agreement dated 5 March 1648, some 35 creditors of Anthony Davelaer, insolvent, agreed to accept a reduction of his debts. Among the creditors: Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (of the Anatomy Lesson), Daniel Mitz (father or brother of Samuel Mitz of INVNO 1213), Jacob van Campen (II), Jacques Verspreet (cited in the NOTES to R 25596 of Montias2), Dr. Jan Deijman, Abraham Alewijn (of R 25547 of Montias2), Jean Fontain (of R 8357 of Montias2), Isaack Moors (of R 26927 of Montias2), Henricus Hondius (the printer cited in the NOTES to R 25596 of Montias2), Jacob Vlack (the son of Dirck Vlack of R 21354), Anthony Verspreet (of R 25596 of Montias2), Wilhelm van Dalen (of R 33609), Anna Verspreet, widow of Guilliam de Penyn (cited in the NOTES to R 27716 of Montias2), and Gijsbert van Wieringen (who was in business with David Fransz. of R 21903 of Montias2) (DBK 5072/872).
