Commentary	Hendrick Dircksz. Poot may be related to Claes Hendrix Pot, sergeant in the Korporaalschap van lieutenant Pieter Dircksz. Hasselaer, portrayed by A. de Vries in 1623 (See Amsterdams Historisch Museum, Schilderijen daterend van voor 1800. Amsterdam, 1975/1979, catalogue by Albert Blankert with contributions by Rob Ruurs, p.354.) As the roving envoy of Amsterdam, he took care of the interests of Amsterdam businessmen in other cities. In Amsterdam, he apparently stayed as a commissal in the house of Elisabeth van Beeck.
