Commentary	On 8 December 1661, Frans Joosten de Vries, from Amsterdam, merchant, 26 years old, assisted by his mother Maria de Wolf, living on the Cingel, was betrothed to Sijtge Jacobs Uijen, 28, assisted by her aunt Tytie Fransen de Vries, living on the Blauwe Burchwal (DTB 685/118). Frans Joosten was probably the son of the merchant Joost Fransen de Vries, who along with his brother Jacob Fransen den Vries and several other merchants made a request to the Vroedschap in 1640 (exact date unknown) to increase the number of ligters (small boats used to unload cargo from larger boats). The petition was also signed by Jacob Adryaensz. Uyen, who was probably the father of Sijtie Jacobs Uyen, the owner of the goods in the present inventory (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 282-3). Jacob Fransen de Vries and Jacob Adriaensz. Uyen also signed the 1645 petition calling for the enforcement of currency regulations issued in 1622 (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken R.G.P. 59(1625), pp. 88-9). Tytie Fransen de Vries was the sister of Joost and Jacob Fransen de Vries.
