Commentary	A marriage contract was signed by Frans Jansz. van Hocxbergen, bachelor, and Grietje Jacobs van Hops on 30 March 1656 (Bredius, Künstler-inventare p. 533). He was living in the Breestraet on 12 September 1659 when his child was buried. He paid the church 4 f. (ibid.) On 3 December 1660, Frans van Hocxbergen, fijnschilder, lent juff. Maria Aller 400 f. (ibid., p. 534). By 20 June 1662, when he again had a child buried, he was living in the Dyckstraet (where he was living when he had his inventory drawn up). He was said to be 46 years old in a deposition dated 14 November 1671. On 9 April he was living on the Zeedijck when he gave Jannetge Claes a procuration. (Bredius called Jannetge Claes the wife of Frans Hocxbergen, but this cannot be correct). Grietge Jacobs (Hops) was again named as his wife when she drew up her testament on 13 August 1676. She left Jannetje Claes 100 f. She was owed 200 f. by Jan Symonsz. Dobber. She was then living with Jannetje Claes in the Schoutensteeg (next to the Zeedijck) at the sign of Wesel. There was no mention of Frans van Hocxbergen himself (except as the husband of Grietge Jacobs) (ibid. p. 535). On 7 December 1679, Frans van Hoxbergen, living on the Zeedijck near the Stormsteech, was buried. 15 f. were paid to the Oudezijds Kapel on his behalf (ibid.) On the reasons for Van Hocxbergen's bankruptcy and a list of creditors, see the TEXT to INVNO 13110.
