CommentaryOn 2 September 1621, Jacques van Hoorn and Margriet van der Voort (Poort?) had their son baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Machtelt de Bye and Guilliam van Hoorn (Jacques's brother) (DTB 5/362). On 15 January 1633, Jacques van Hoorn, from Antwerp, widower of Margriete van der Poort, living on the N.Z. Voorburgwal, was betrothed to Sophie van de Brando (Branden), from Vlissinge near Middelburgh (DTB 765/18). On 27 January 1629, the honorable signors Jacques and Guillaume van Horne (Hoorn), brothers, on one side, and Guillaume van Scharenburch, on the other, signed a contract to set up a company for dealing in silk. Jacques and Guillaume undertook to supply 10,000 f., Van Scharenburch, 5,400 f. Van Scharenburch was expected to keep store and trade in silk in his name alone without using the names of his partners. To this end, they undertook to lease the house of Dirck Hem in the Pijlsteeg (which they had already done). The contract was slated to expire in 1633 (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 78(1933), pp. 670-2). Dirck Hem died before March 1637 (exact date unknown) whem Abraham Anthonisz., sollicitor (of R 2033 of Montias2), was named in a procuration by Jonckgesel Ernst van Reede, heer van de Vryes, to collect assets from the heirs of Dirck Hem (NA 952, Not. B. Baddel). By 5 September 1637, Hans van (der) Put and Jeronimus Heesters had been named guardians of the bankrupt estate of Dirck Hem (NA 598, Not. Lamberti, fol. 322). On 26 February 1636, Abraham Doreneux (Doremieux), sworn broker, gave a deposition at the request of Jacques and Guillaume van Hoorne, merchants, in which he declared that they had sold to Jean Minuict a bag of silk for 37 schellingen per pound, to pay in 9 months. Some time later Minuict found that he could not sell the silk (NA 411, fol. 73, Not. Jacob Jacobsz.) On 15 January 1636, Jean de Ligne, 37, caffa worker, declared at the request of Jacques and Guillaume van Hoorne, merchants, that he had entered into a contract with Abraham de Ligne de oude (of R 21482) for the creation of a company to produce caffa cloth. Abraham de Ligne undertook to hold the books and finance the operation; Jean de Ligne would produce the cloth. Jean had bought, on order of Abraham de Ligne, three lots of silk, which he had then processed for the account of the company. He swore he had not bought silk from any one else, except one lot from Andries Quast, silk spinner (NA 413A, fol. 51, Not. Nicolaes Jacobsz.) In an insinuatie dated 11 February 1638, the brothers Jacques and Guilliam van Hoorn, together with Pieter Cruypenning (on whom see R 941 of Montias1), protested the failure of the merchant Jan Butler to pay a debt (NA 417, film 6434, Not. Jacob Jacobsz.) On 4 February 1639, Jacques van Hoorn and Sophia van den Brande named Daniel van den Branden in Vlissingen in Zeeland to act in their name regarding the inheritance left by the late Jacob van den Brande (NA 419A, fol. 149). In another insinuation, dated 24 March 1640, Jacques van Hoorn, director of the W.I.C., claimed that the late Urseltge van Essen, the former wife of Arent Bosman (wine dealer), had specified in her testament that he, Jacques van Hoorn, would be one of the executors of her testament, along with Jacob Bosman, the son of Arent Bosman (NA 421, fol. 254, Not. Jacob Jacobsz., film 6438.) For the testament of Arent Bosman and Urseltge van Essen, see NA 413A of 30 January 1636. Urseltge van Essen was the sister of the painter Hans van Essen, of R 24928 of Montias2. On 25 July 1626, the Orphan Chamber had named Pieter Hermansz., wine dealer, along with Arent Bosman, as guardian over the son of Pieter Hermansz. (WK 5073/513, fol. 46vo.) On 14 February 1650, Lucretia Coymans (of INVNO 1040), widow and estate holder of Pieter Cruypenninck, acknowledged having received to her contentement all the books, charters, and papers out of the hands of Sr. Guilliam van Hooren which she had placed in his hands (NA 1818, Not. Eggericx). Jacques van Hoorn and Sophia van den Bremde apparently came from Zeeland or Zeeuws-Vlanderen. On 28 February 1643, Mr. Nicolaes van Hoorn, from Middelburg, was betrothed with Maria van Hoornbeck. The witnesses were Petronella van Hoornbeck, Jacques van Hoorn, and Catelijntje Sonnius (Nederlandsche Leeuw 37(1919), col. 62, Extracts from the marriage registers of Zeeuwsch-Vlanderen). The couple had a son named Samuel (portrait in R 454 of Montias2). Guillaume van Hoorn, cited in the INTRO, survived his brother Jacques. Constantijn Cruijpenninck who witnessed the inventory was the son of Pieter Cruijpenninck and of Lucretia Coymans, at whose request works of art belonging to Johannes de Renialme were inventoried in 1640 (INVNO 1040). For Lucretia Coymans's inventory, see INVNO 1192. A second inventory of the possessions held in common by Jacques van Hoorn and Sophia van den Branden was taken on 20 July 1642, with appraisals. The paintings were appraised by Franchois Nieulandt and Daniel Bisschop. The introduction of this inventory was as follows: Inventarisatie ende taxatie van de meubelen ende huijsraet bevonden int sterfhuijs van de E. Jacques van Hoorn za. die juffr. Sophia van den Branden de selffde naegelaten weduwe in gevolge van den huywelijcke voorwaerden met de selve haer overleden man aengegaen aen haer sal behouden. This inventory, like the earlier one, was made at her request and that of Petrus Wittewrongel and of Guilliam van Hoorn as guardians over the children of Jacques van Hoorn. The inventory was made in the presence and under the supervision of Isack and Constantijn Cruypenninck (NA 1811, film 2078, fol. 1081 to fol. 1097). The appraisals and attributions made in the second inventory (as well as any significant changes in subject description) have been added to the entries in the present inventory (NA 1811, film 2078, fol. 1081).
