Commentary	On 8 August 1615, Albert Tiason, 25 years old, living on the Warmoesstraet, no living parents, was betrothed to Paschina van der Straten (signs), from Guelich, 38, living in the Halberstraet, no living parents (DTB 667/199). It was perhaps his father of the same name who, in 1595, together with Cornelis van Lockhorst, Ludwig Koenig (in Basel), and Dietrich Krassert (in Strassburgh), had formed a paper-making company in Amsterdam, although the actual paper was produced in Basel (Th. Laurentius, Paper in the Netherlands in Fresh Woods and Pastures New: Seventeenth-century Dutch Landscape Drawings from the Peck Collection, Exh. Cat. Un. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C., p. 30.) Cornelis van Lockhorst, the principal partner, known as pampierverkoper (see the NOTES to R 25092), died in 1617. On 24 May 1631, Albert Jason, merchant in Amsterdam, appeared before the aldermen of Monster (near Delft). He refused, by reason of conscience, to give an oath (RA Monster 103, # 338, kindly communicated by Gerard van Eendenburg). He may therefore have been a Mennonite. On 7 January 1634, Albert Tjason was insinuated by Roelandt van der Perre (perhaps the brother of Balthasar van der Perre (of R 8218 of Montias2). Roelandt van der Perre was administrator of the Compagnie der Duijtsche pampieren (NA 409, film 487, Not. Jacob and Nicolaes Jacobsz.) This insinuation may be related to the insolvency that led to the making of the present inventory. This insolvency may also be related to a suit waged by the widow and the heirs of Philips van Kazele against Tiason. P.C. Hooft intervened with the Eerste Raedt in the Hooghen Raede, on behalf of the widow (letter to Rochus van der Honart, Briefwisseling van Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, vol. 2, p. 529). On 16 July 1636, Albert Tjason, as husband and guardian of Paschina van den Straten, together with Anna van den Strate, spinster, and Franchoys van der Strate, for themselves and as holders of a procuration from their mother Maycken Jans van Noucken(?), all heirs of their brother David van der Straten, went to the house of Samuel Sautijn, where Juffr. Sara Munnincx, widow and holder of the estate of Jan van der Straten (of R 27080) was living, and, in her absence, insinuated her son, also named Jan van der Straten, as follows. Sara Munnincx should procure an inventory of the goods left by David van der Straten (left with Jan van der Straten I), along with the accounts and other papers pertaining to David van der Straten's estate. Jan van der Straten II said he acknowledged the insinuation on his mother's behalf and asked for a copy of it (NA 889, film 595). Samuel Sautijn was a very rich merchant who traded in the Levant. On 20 June 1602, he married Maria van der Straten, daughter of Jan Fransz. van der Straten (of R 27080) and of Sara Monx (Munnincx), cited above. Montias2.
