Commentary	Dr. Matthijs Willemsz. van Raephorst, the son of Willem Matthijsz. and of Grietgen Ysbrantsdr., was baptized in Amsterdam in the N.K. on 6 March 1599. On 22 December 1623, Matthijs Raephorst, doctor in law, 25, assisted by his parents Willem Matthijsz. Raephorst and Grietge Ysbrands, was betrothed to Aefge (Eva) Witsen, 27, daughter of Gerrit Jacob Witsen and of Grietge Appelman (DTB 428/304). On 8 July 1625, the couple had their daughter Margriet baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Gerrit Jacobsz. Witsen (DT 40/307). Raephorst lived opt Water, next to the Vrouwensteeg, in den Akerboom. He was kerkmeester of the N.K. in 1625 and captain of the militia in the same year. He was a member of the Vroedschap from 1626 to 1638 (alderman in 1627). Some time after 18 February 1625, he was appointed guardian by the Orphan Chamber over the daughter left by Heyndrick Gerritsz. Southolm, due to the death of Hendrick Tjebbesz. whom he replaced as guardian (WK 5073/789). He paid a tax of 250 f. in 1631 (Kohier fol. 5, p. 2). He died on 2 February 1638 (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, pp.377-8).
