| Commentary | On 10 April 1610, Roelof Jansz., from Deventer, schoemacker, 30 years old, having lived 25 years on the Leertouwersgracht, no living parents, was betrothed to Aeltgen Gerrits, 26, living in the Gasthuyssteech, assisted by her mother Diewer Dircx (DTB 414/275). He was literate, she was not. In a document of 1613, Roelof Jansz. was said to be a headman of the shoemakers' guild when Samuel Coenradt, a leather merchant (of R 721) brought an insination against him regarding some fines he apparently owed in connection with his admission to the guild (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 78(1933), p. 147). On 10 August 1623, Roeloff Janssoon, from Heck, vettevarier (dealer in fats and oils), widower of Aeltien Gerrits, living on the Brouwersgracht, was betrothed to Annetien Jacobs, from Geesvelt, 29, no living parents, living in the St. Thonispoort, assisted by her acquaintance Lysbeth Cornelis (DTB 428/146). On 31 December 1627, Roeloff Jansz., shoemaker, accepted to become guardian of the child of Niesgen Jans, whose father was Abraham Huybertsz., bookbinder (WK 5073/513, fol. 25). One of the relatives and heirs of the late Roeloff Jansz. was Jan Jansz. Commersteijn, who is probably identical with J. Commersteijn, one of several merchant investors with whom Tatick Jansz. (of R 26643 of Montias2) signed a contract in 1636. The religion of the owners is inferred from the presence of the print of Triglandius in the inventory. Roeloff Jansz. owned obligations totaling 9,900 f. and had current debts amounting to 2,409 f. |
