Commentary	Jan Willemsz. Fonteyn was an apothecary. On 17 February 1640, Jan Willemsz. Fonteijn and Hendrick IJsbrantsz. de Bruyn appeared before the Orphan Chamber as guardians over Aeltgen, age 18, the daughter left by Adriaen Fransz. Bancken, lumber dealer, and by her late mother Maria Pieters. Various sums inherited by the young girl were handed over to Aeltge Adriaens and Joost van den Vondel (the poet and playwright) on 17 November 1643 (J.G. Kam in Maandblad Amstelodamum 48(1961), p. 28). Various altar goods listed in the inventory testify to the R.C. allegiance of the couple. Claes or Nicolaes Felten, cited in the INTRO, was the husband of Stijntje Schonemans, the sister of Maritge Schonemans of INVNO 192 (also R.C.) Maria and Claes Felten were the niece and nephew of the late Jannetge Felten (their motje). Hendrick IJsbrantsz. de Bruyn (1610-1664), also cited in the INTRO, was the grandson of Joost van den Vondel. He married Margrita Michiels Krael, daughter of Michiel Krael (of R 32651) on 24 May 1647 (DTB 679/90).
