Commentary	The religion of the owner is inferred from the presence of prints of predicanten in the inventory. On 27 August 1633, Ysaac Cothonneau, from St. Martijn [in the Carribeans], no living parents, 28 years old, living in the Wolffstraet, was betrothed to Grietje Engelbaerts, from Jereren, widow of Dirk Harmansz. (5 years) (DTB 441/192). Grietje Engelbaerts is almost surely identical with Grietge Pieters since we know that Grietje Pieters was betrothed to Dirck Harmens on 6 May 1623 (DTB 669/168). On 19(?) April 1634, Arent Dircx and his wife Maria Webber transferred goods, including a silver keybelt, to Isaack Cottoneau in counterpart for a debt of 30 f. (NA 1040, fol. 38, Not. Van de Ven). On 9 August 1634, Thomas Pieterssen, apprentice dyer, and his wife Elsge Ariaens acknowledged a debt of 37 f. 12 st. for beers delivered to Isaack Cotteneau, beer distributor (bierbeschoijer), which they proposed to repay at the rate of 10 st. a week (NA 1040, fol. 61, Not. Van de Ven). On 15 August 1634, Isaack Cottoneau was said to be the husband and guardian of Greitege Pieters, beer distributress (bierbeschooister) (NA 1040, fol. 70, Not. Van de Ven). According to the INTRO, Dirck Dircx van der Meulen, husband and guardian of Dirckje Dirx, had indicated (aengegeven) the goods in the inventory.
