Commentary	Gerrit Elias was listed among the individuals who exercised the trade (nering) of soap-boiling in 1663. He was apparently the son of the soapboiler Reijer Pietersz. Elias (1632) and the grandson of the soapboiler Pieter Jacobsz. Elias (1612) (Jaarboek Amstelodamum 83(1991), p. 93). Thieleman van Beringen, cited in the INTRO, was the father of Catharina van Beringen, the late wife of Gerrit Elias, and the brother of the cloth merchant Jan van Beringen (NA 641, fol. 203, act dated 14 March 1635). He was married to Elisabeth de Marees, the daughter of Abraham de Marees de oude of INVNO 300. Another of his children was Johanna van Beringen (1624-1686) who married Dionys Bailli (1617-1654) (cited in R 27635 of Montias2) (De Navorscher 28(1878), p.49). Still another child was Maria van Beringen who married Isaack Soolmans (born about 1586) in 1625.
