Commentary	On 29 March 1636, Cornelis Coninck (of R 33117 of Montias2) was betrothed to Annetje (Pieters) van Beveren, widow of Pieter Bernaertsz. (DTB 444/202, missing microfiche). From the INTRO to the present deposition, which was made at the request of the creditors of Cornelis de Coning, that the latter had spent many months in Flanders, while his wife stayed in Amsterdam. She was apparently unable to pay his debts, even though she was pressed by the Concierge (of the Desolate Boedelskamer) who threatened to seize her property and sell them (for the benefit of the creditors). She had several conversations with the baker Arent Hendricksz. who advised her to join her husband in Flanders. She had sent her woolen and linen goods ahead to Rotterdam the day before her departure. The paintings listed in the inventory had been hauled out from the cellar of the house belonging to the second witness, Annetge Lourens, where she, Annetge Pieters, was living, and had been brought to the house of Arent Hendricksz. It is not clear whether Arent Hendricksz. had failed to send the paintings or, more generally, why the deposition had been made. In any case, Cornelis de Coning was back in Amsterdam on 4 October 1644, when he and his wife Anna van Beven had their daughter Anneken baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Catalijntje Pieters (DTB 41/302). When Cornelis de Coning bought prints at an auction at the sale of Jan Basse in 1637 (R 33117), he was said to be a kassier (cashier) in the Pijlsteech (perhaps with the Wisselbank).
