Commentary	Coert Cooper, born in Bremen in 1594, was a merchant established op 't Water in Amsterdam. He married Lisbeth Cornelis Coster on 12 June 1616. She was the daughter of Cornelis Jansz. Coster, beer dealer in the Liesdel, and of Geert Reyers, and the sister of Arent Cornelisz. Coster of R 21396 of Montias2 (Elias, Vroedschap, p.22-3). On 28 March 1622, Coert Cooper was named guardian of the children of the late painter Abraham Vinck (of INVNO 560) (WK 5073/789, fol. 2). According to Veldhuijzen (David Beck: Spiegel van mijn leven; Haags dagboek 1624, p. 242), Geesien Koopers, cited in the INTRO, was the daughter of Coert Cooper. She was first married to Evert Formanois on 21 May 1636 and later married Jan Jansz. Brouwer de jonge (alias Johannes Jansonius), the son of Jan Jansz. Brouwer de oude, the father-in-law of Meynert Woutersz. of R 29614 of Montias2. In an entry in his diary dated 28 December 1624, David Beck mentions visiting Sr. Coert Cooper on an errand on behalf of his (Beck's) uncle Adriaen (Veldhuijzen, op.cit. p.226). On 24 March 1633, Pieter Fassyn, 28, merchant, declared at the request of the honorable Coert Coper that, not long before the departure of skipper Tiebbe Dircksen from this city, he had told the witness (Fassyn) that he was shipping under express conditions from the north Bremen over the Wadden (NA 694B, Not. J. Warnaerts). Pieter Fassin, born in Cologne in 1604, died in Beverwijk in 1653. He married Geertruyd Wolters, born in Bremen, on 7 August 1629 (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam p.516). Pieter Fassin was the brother of Jan Fassin II of R 23296 of Montias2, who married Femmetje Wolters, the sister of Geertruy Wolters.
