Commentary	Jan Roeters, advocate on the Keizersgracht and later on the Fluweelenburgwal, was the son of Ernst Roeters (of R 20042) and the brother of Roetert Ernst (of R 30157). He married Susanna Gommers (II), the daughter of Hans Gommers and Anna Gessing, on 15 April 1653. Susanna Gommers (II) was buried on 22 November 1655, Jan Roeters on 31 December 1667 (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, vol.1, p.367). He was a collector of naturalia as well as of paintings. Susanna Gommers II must not be confused with Susanna Gommers I married to Pieter Jolijt (cited in R 20007 of Montias2). It is not clear whether Susanna Gommers I remarried with Jacob Reepmaker de jonge, who was said to be her widower on 21 April 1637, or whether she was another individual altogether (NA 521, Not. Westfrisius).
Notary	Dirck Danckertsz.
