Commentary	Daniel Martens, born on 21 September 1596, was the son of Hans Martensz. (den Otter) of R 28860 of Montias2. (The portrait by Abraham Vinck of Hans Martensz. and his son David, whose name does not appear in the list of Hans Martensz.'s children in the Diary of Carel Martens cited below, may represent Daniel). He married Gertruijd Hem, the daughter of the brewer Dirck Dircksz. Hem, in 1618. Sara Martens, his sister, was married to Jacob van Haelewijn, formerly living in Dordrecht (see NOTES to R 25443 of Montias2). Carel Martens, the brother of Daniel and Sara Martens, held a diary and account book in which he recorded the first known purchase of a painting by Rembrandt. His diary was published in Oud Utrecht (1970). His birth day is taken from that source. On 21 September 1634, Johannes van der Rosieren (cited in R 30000 of Montias2), 52, Anthony Ariaensz. Coninck (cited in R 121 of Montias1), 48, Jeremias Coesaert, spices merchant (cited in R 33388 of Montias2), and Reymont de Smit (of R 23589 of Montias2), merchant, declared at the request of the honorable Guillame van der Helst (II, married to Susanna Martens) and Daniel Martens, merchants, that a letter they had been shown was authentic (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). Among the books in the inventory, Cathagesis Ursini.
