Commentary	Anthony Colleur or Couleur was said to be a schoolmaster, 23 years old, when, on 1 September 1612, living on the Western Corenmarckt, he was betrothed to Pietertge Ghysbertsdr., 22, assisted by her mother Machtelt Jans (DTB 416/251). On 15 October, Anthony Couleur, widower of Pietertge Gijsberts, was betrothed to Belitje Barents, assisted by her father Barent Gerritsz. Brincker (DTB 431/438). After his first wife died, a dispute arose concerning the inheritance of the children, who ranged in age from 9 to 3/4 years, on 6 January 1626 (WK 5073/789). He was probably Reformed, as the books in his inventory, (works of William Perkins, Calvin, Theodore Besa, etc..) attest. He died in 1633. He was also a buyer at WK auction (for additional bio details, see the NOTES to R 22170). For additional information on Anthony Couleur, schoolmaster, see the NOTES to R 22170 of Montias2. The guardians over the children, the box or coffin maker Egbert Gerritsz. and Harmen Jacobsz. Karreman have not been identified.
