CommentaryOn 13 November 1626, Jan Arentsz. Delff, no living parents, 28, assisted by his swager Zacharias Lambertsz. Paspoort, was betrothed to Aaltje Jonckheijn, from Amsterdam, 30, assisted by her mother Adriana Coolhaas (DTB 431/473). Aaltje Jonckheijn was the daughter of Adriana Coolhaes (or Cools) and of Elbert Sijmonsz. Jonckheijn of INVNO 572. Delff apparently remarried with Brechtge Ariaens, who survived him. He paid a tax of 100 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the West side of the Keizersgracht (Kohier fol. 95, p.23). In an act of 13 April 1633, he was called koopman (NA 371, film 189, Not. W. Cluyt). On 14 April 1637, the honorable Jan Arentsz. Delff, 41, sick and ready to die, made a declaration (NA 597, Not. Lamberti). On 22 June 1637, Aeltge Hermans, widow of Abel Andriesz., declared at the request of Brechtje Ariaens, widow of Jan Arentsz. Delff, that Jan Ariaensz. Delff, in his last sickness, had begged that his goods should not be sold but that they should be appraised (getaxeert) by two sworn appraisers. Aeltge had said: But that is not in the testament. Delff had answered that it should be done as if it had been stipulated in the testament. He had begged his nephew Arent Vapour to see that this would be done, and Vapour had given Delff his hand to signal that he would do so (NA 598, fol. 249-250). Arent Hendricksz. Vapour, born in Rotterdam, was the son of the painter Hendrick Arentsz. Vapour, who married in Delft in 1614 (Oud Holland 31(1913), p.261). On 9 September 1646, Arent Vapour, living in 's Gravesande, made a declaration in Monster in which he stated that he was the sole heir of his uncle Jan Arentsz. Delff, who had died in Amsterdam. He named Hendrick de Slange in 's Gravesande to acknowledge in his name that David Janz. IJpelaer, merchant in Amsterdam, as substituted guardian of him, Vapour, in place of Hendrick Swart, burgomaster of Medemblick, had produced a proper accounting of his administration (Monster, ONA 6037 # 1019, kindly communicated by Gerard van Eendenburg). David Jansz. IJpelaer was the brother of Gabriel, Paul, and Jasper IJpelaer (see the TEXT of INVNO 264). Jan Arentsz. was the brother of Claes Arentsz. Delff, who, on or about 26 Marck 1635, acknowledged owing 200 f. Lyntgen Ariaens, daughter of [...] Ariaens. Claes Adriaensz. said he would keep the money until she married (NA 991, fol. 34vo). There are three panels by Hendrick Vapour in the inventory plus eight small panels van Arees vader (also presumably Hendrick Vapour). Some goods were sold at the request of Jan Arentsz. Delff (and of Cornelis and Arent van der Wolff) on 23 April 1627 (INVNO 588 of R 489). Among the books in the present inventory: Psalmboeck, Testament met root leer, Groot Dordrecht Bijbel.
