| Commentary | On 18 October 1640, Gulliam Engelgraef, from Amsterdam, 25, no living parents, assisted by his brother Alexander Engelgraeff, living on the Nieuwe Dijck, was betrothed to Susanna van de Venne, from Amsterdam, 21, no living parents, assisted by her sister-in-law Aeltje Leggers, living as above (DTB 454/461). Alexander Engelgraeff, cited in the INTRO, as one of the guardians of his brother Guilliam's children, was married to Geertruyd Willekens (genealogical notes of S. Middelhoek). Susanne van de Venne, who probably died in child birth, was buried in the W.K. on 14 October 1641 (DTB 1400a/44). The very next day, October 15, her daughter Susanna was baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Guilliam's brother Alexander Engelgraeff (DTB 42/277). On 20 March 1643, Guilliam Engelgraef, widower of Susanne van de Venne, was betrothed to Judith Smals, 32, assisted by her mother Judith de la Vare (?) (DTB 459/92). In February 1645, Guilliam Engelgraeff signed the petition to the Vroedschap calling for the enforcement of currency regulations issued in 1622 (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 89). In the inventory of Willem Albertsz. Deutgens, master framemaker (INVNO 476), dated 22 January 1659, a debt for frames delivered was recorded in the name of Guillame Engelgraaf, merchant, living in the St. Nicolaesstraet (NA 2162, film 2271). Guljam Engelgraef was buried in the W.K. on 28 May 1668 (DTB 1101/62). On 23 May 1656, an inventory was taken of the movable goods of Hans van de Venne at the request of [Susanna?] van de Venne and Alexander Engelgraaf (NA 1117, fol. 90 and foll., film 1293, Not. J. van de Ven). Susanna van de Venne may have been related to Adriaen van de Venne, two of whose paintings were recorded in her death inventory. |
