Commentary	Catharina de Marez was the daughter of Jan Abrahamsz. de Marez and of Clara Baron. She was the sister of Elisabeth de Marez II, the first wife of Lodewijck de Bas I of INVNO 303. Pieter de Marez was betrothed to Catharina de Marez on 23 December 1637 (DTB 667/171). Pieter de Marez was the son of Abraham de Marez de jonge, the brother of Jan Abrahamsz., and of his first wife Sara Costers (I. van Eeghen in Jaarboek Amstelodamum 60(1968), p.98). Catharina and Pieter de Marez were first cousins. In his testament of 18 July 1635, Abraham de Marees (II) left his three children procreated by Sara Costers 65,000 f. He left 36,000 f. to his children of the second bed, procreated by Rebecca Hoochcamer. His six children were named universal heirs. He named his brother Jan (Abrahamsz.) as guardian of the children of the first bed and Jacob Pietersz. Hoochcamer, his father-in-law, as guardian of the second of the second (NA 21, film 41, fol. 21vo.) On 5 July 1648, Pieter de Marees and Caterijna de Marees had their son Johannes baptized in the Z.K. in the presence of Jan (Abrahamsz.?) de Marees and of Marija de Marees (DTB 93/236). Pieter de Marez was one of the numerous merchants who signed the 1645 petition to the Vroedschap calling for the enforcement of currency regulations issued in 1622 (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 89). Pieter and Catharina de Marez had a daughter Sara (1651-1704), who first married Rochus van Capelle (1645-1679) (cited in the INTRO) and, after the latter's death, Lodewijk de Bas II (1634-1700) in the province of Utrecht about 1683. Because Elisabeth de Bas II and Sara de Marez were related (aunt and niece), Lodewijk de Bas II had to seek the advice of the theological faculty of Leiden University before his marriage. This was granted but some doubt remained about the legitimacy of the marriage (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, vol.1, p.493.) Rochus van de Capelle was the son of Nicholas Rochusz. van Capelle and the grandson of Rochus Pietersz. (van de Capelle) of R 26958 of Montias2 and of Catharina Jacobs (Elias, op. cit. p. 515). Lodewijck de Bas bought a house on the Zeedijck in 1667 for f. 12,400. In 1727, Lodewijck de Bas III sold the house to the apothecary Willem Schouten (Maandblad Amstelodamum 45(1958), p. 27).
