Commentary	Jan Gerritsz. Verhoutert was the son of Gerrit (or Govert) Willemsz. Pauw and Janneken van Marckel. He was baptized in the N.K. on 11 December 1607. He married Helena Kemp on 25 March 1631, on which occasion he was assisted by his mother Janneken van Marckel. Helena Kemp was the daughter of Aert and Clara Kemp and the sister of Hendrick Aertsz. Kemp of INVNO 1124. He was the brother of Agneta Verhoutert, married to Dr. Joannes van Grol; Aerlant Verhoutert, married to Dr. Francois de Vicq (the good friend of Dr. Tulp); Geertruyt Verhoutert, who married Francoijs de Penijn (on whom see the NOTES to R 27716 of Montias2), widower of Maria de Vicq; and Willem Gerritsz. Verhoutert, merchant, born in 1618, who married Janneken Vorsten on 23 April 1641 (Elias, Vroedschap, p.584). It was probably due to his wife's connections that Jan Gerritz. Verhoutert was invited to the wedding of Bernard de Moor and Clara van Capelle in January 1630 (Nederlandche Leeuw 44(1926), col. 9). On 27 April 1633, Jan Gerritsz. Verhouttert, merchant, 25, made a deposition at the request of the widow of Nicolaes Pauw. He declared that she had given a skipper in Copenhagen two letters of exchange. She was probably Catharina de Vogel, widow of Claes (Nicolaes) Anthonisz. Pauw of R 23378 (NA 694B, Not. J. Warnaerts). Jan Gerritsz. Verhouttert, married to Helena Kemp, gave a procuration to Fytge Jans, wife of Jan Jansz. bookbinder, on 2 April 1636 (NA 597, fol. 159, Not. Lamberti) (see R 7633). In 1640 (exact date unknown), Jan Gerritsz. Verhouttert, together with 20 other merchants, signed a request to the Vroedschap to increase the number of grain-unloading barges (korenligters) (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 282-3). He was a grain merchant. On 15 August 1643, two workers made a deposition on his behalf about grain imported into Amsterdam (NA 997, film 1882, Not. Gerrit Coren). He was the surety for Hendrick Aertsz., who was also insolvent in 1644 (INVNO 1017). On 22 July 1653, an agreement was signed among the creditors of Jan Gerritsz. Verhoutert to reduce his debts. Among the signatories were Jonas Abeels, married to Anna Rueland, father of Elias Abeels who married Susanna Poulle (Elias, Vroedschap, p.572), also the presumed brother-in-law of Anthony Gaillard de jonge of INVNO 163; Jacob Cromhout (1608-1669), married to Margaretha Wuytiers, daughter of Dirck Govertsz. Wuytiers of R 7663; Pieter and Jacob Hooft; and Rebecca du Pont, the widow of Thomas Maurois of R 21918 of Montias2 (DBK 5072/873).
