Commentary	On 11 November 1611, Tobias Pietersz. was betrothed to Geertuijt van Santen (DTB 416/38). In June 1638, Thobias Pietersz., widower of Geertruyt van Zanten, was betrothed to Elisabeth Klaes Krups (sic.) (DTB 449/105). Elisabeth Claes was the sister of the Notary Niclaes Kruijs. On 29 July 1624, Andries Jansz., sword maker (swaertveger), declared at the request of Thobias Pietersz., that the armor he had received from the petitioner to clean had been taken by captain Jacob Bicker om mede op te trecken. With the approval of Thobias Pietersz. he had given the armor to Willem Jansz. (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 78(1933), p. 542). On 11 December 1629, the honorable Jan Selijns Hendricksz. (of R 34387 of Montias2), Tobias Pietersz. and Jan Thilens, all silk and silk-cloth merchants, made a declaration at the request of Isaac Piersen, silk cloth merchant in Middelburgh, stating that they had been charged by the E. Burgomasters with the collection of the tax on silk cloth since 1613 and that, at their request, they had continued to do so every year since then (Van Dillen, op. cit. p. 689). Thobias Pietersz. owned several real estate properties, including the inn Het veerhuijs, which was rented for 300 f. per year. Total income from these properties amounted to almost 1,000 f. a year. The debts due to the estate came to 1,520 f.
