Commentary	Ann van Menslage was the daughter of the cyther maker Gerrit Jansz. Menslage (Essen 1606-Amsterdam 1661). In the 1670 inventory of the widow of Gerrit Jansz. Menslage, all sorts of string and plucking instruments, flutes, schalmeys, and other instruments were recorded. One of Gerrit Jansz.'s nephews by marriage was the violin maker Jan Bouwmeester (Giskes in Jaarboek Amstelodamum 79(1987), p.63). On 2 May 1658, Abraham van der Hulst, widower of Anna van der Kolck, was betrothed to Anna Mensela (Menslage) (DTB 478/355). Vice-admiral Abraham van der Hulst perished in 1666. Anna Menslage(r) then married Petrus van der Burght, from Middelburgh, preacher in Vlissingen, widower, first, of Anna de Luter and, second, of Sara Bogaert of Vlissingen, on 28 May 1675 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 38(1920, kol. 249 and 77(1960), col. 260).
