Commentary	According to the INTRO, Jacob Dircxss was a barge pilot (schuytvoerder). The only individual who can more or less be identified among the individuals cited in the INTRO is Dirck Hendricksz. Schoneman, a good acquaintance of the family of the late Jacob Dircxss. Dirck Hendricksz. was most probably the son of Hendrick Dircksz. Schoneman, salt merchant, who appeared in a deposition of 30 August 1635 (see the NOTES to R 38065 of Montias2). There were no books in the inventory (all the witnesses were illiterate). However, I judge the deceased to have been Roman Catholic by the contents of the inventory and by the fact that most of notary Palm Matthijs's clients seem to have been Roman Catholic. Other members of the Schoneman family are also known to have been R.C.
