Commentary	Before the Alteration, Mr. Marten Blocklandt, pensionaris (of the city of Amsterdam), was cited in the accounts of Pieter Cornelisz. Dubbens (Maandblad Amstelodamum 56(1969), p. 137). In 1585, Mr. Marten Blocklandt paid a tax of 3 f. He came from Montfort and became a citizen of Amsterdam in 1564. He was pensionaris from 1564 to 1578. He was presumably Roman Catholic (Van Dillen, Amsterdam, p. 18). On 4 December 1595, Mr. Marten van Blocklandt, lawyer (rechtgelerde), and Martyntje Jans drew up their testament. They cited Franchoijs van Bloklandt, deceased in Antwerp, their son Assuerus van Blocklandt and their brother-in-law Gerrit van Davelaer, who was married to Maria van Blocklandt, the sister of Marten van Blocklandt (for this relation see the TEXT of INVNO 1030, the inventory of Antoni van Davelaer, the son of Gerrit van Davelaer). They also cited their unmarried daughters Jannetgen and Aeltgen. They stipulated that their goods should be sold at auction (as they eventually were). Martijntje signed with a mark (NA 39, film 41, fol.284, Not. Jacob Gysbrechtsz.) Christoffel and Jannetje van Blocklandt who bought lots at his sale were their children (R 39852 and R 39855 of Montias2).
