Commentary	The late Thomas Fontain was the second of this name (portraits of Thomas Fontain I and his wife Catharina Fontain are recorded in the present inventory in R 5868 and R 5869 of Montias2). It was probably Thomas Fontain I who received a procuration from Jacques Carbeel on 20 October 1595, to come to an agreement with Jochem Holsteyn living in Dantzig (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van het Oostzeehandel, R.G.P., 178(1981), pp. 61-2.) On Jacques Carbeel, see the TEXT to R 1167 of INVNO 1247. Thomas Fonteyn II was married to Maria Levin. On Paul le Conte, the husband of Johanna Fonteyn and the son-in-law of Thomas Fonteyn, see R 35364 of Montias2. On 11 May 1635, Thomas Fontaine, merchant, the guardian of the children procreated by Hanne Resteau, the daughter of Christoffer Resteau, and of the late Anna Pels, daughter of Eduard Pels (of R 38618), passed a procuration citing Madelen Heldevier, the widow of Gonsalvo (or Consalvo) Romity (NA 948, film 1171, Not. Benedict Baddel). Thomas Fontoein, who had been living on the Singel, was buried on 18 September 1646 in the W.K. 8 f. were paid on his behalf to the church (DTB 1100/71).
