Commentary	On Barent van Someren, see the NOTES to R 20424 of Montias2. In an attestation dated 7 November 1623, Leonora Mytens was said to be 40 years old, thus born about 1583. Leonora, during her husband's life time, lived in the Schild van Vranckrijck on the Dam, which was slated to be destroyed to make way for the new Town Hall. She then leased a house on the corner of the Vogelsteeg (near the Schild van Vranckrijck) from the city for 100 f. (a year ?) (Bredius, op. cit. under Publication above, p. 7). On Hendrick van Someren, see the NOTES to R 26143, on Danckert de Kempenaer, R 25250, both of Montias2. Beside their daughters Anna, Constantia, and Maria, and their son Hendrick, all cited in the INTRO, the couple had another son Arnout (or Aert) van Someren of R 31233. Their daughter Margareta, married to Johannes Suydorp, cited in the inventory in connection with 370 f. of clothing they had received for their wedding, may have died before Leonora van Someren.
