Commentary	On 4 June 1595, Aert Kemp, from 's Hertogenbosch, widower of Grietje Henricx, living on the Nieuwe Dijck, was betrothed to Claertje Jacobs, 23 years old, assisted by her parents Rombout Jacobsz. and Claerken Colijns (Nederlandsche Leeuw 9(1918), p. 81). Claertie Jacobs was the sister of Pieter Jacobsz. Indische Raven I of R 31326. She must be distinguished from the woman of the same name, the daughter of Pieter Jacobsz. cited above, who married Pieter Hendricksz. de Keyser. On Rombout Jacobsz. de oude and Claerken Colijns, see R 31491 of Montias2. On 23 September 1627, Henderick Kemp Aertsen (signs), from Amsterdam, 29 years old, assisted by his mother Claertie Jacobs, living on the Nieuwe Dijck, was betrothed to Lysbeth Kuystens, from Amsterdam, assisted by her father Jan Cuysten, living on the Coninxgracht (DTB 432/369). On 6 May 1633, two silk cord workers declared at the request of Hendrick Kemp that the cord they had received was of such poor quality that in their judgement it was worth no more than 26 to 28 schellingen a pound (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven, R.G.P., 177(1974), p. 15). Rombout Kemp, at whose request the present inventory was made, was the older brother of Hendrick Aertsz. For more information on Hendrick Aertsz. Kemp, see the NOTES to R 25363 of Montias2.
