He lived on the Heerengracht, between the Huiden- and Wolvenstraten, in a house where the coat-of-arms of Cortenhoef hung above the door. He married, first, on 9 October 1615, Trijntge Gerrits Dootshooft, born in 1589, daughter of Gerrit Geurtsz. int Dootshooft; and, second, on 17 February 1638, in Woerden, Elisabeth Willems van Paludanus (van Padua), who lived in Utrecht after Van Cortenhoeff's death. She was the widow of Bruijn van Cleeff (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, p. 204). On 26 March 1619, Wouter Davitsz. (of R 23401 of Montias2), Abraham Davitsz.
