Commentary	Louis Fictoors (or Fictor or Victor) was the father of the painter Jan Victors (I) (1620-1676). He seems to have married three times: with Stijntje Jaspers, the mother of the children listed in the INTRO, with Giertie Pieters, and with Maritie Jacobs Pauw. On 11 June 1633, Louwis Fictoor, from Amsterdam, bode op Dordrecht, widower of Giertie Pieters, living on the Rockin, was betrothed to Marritie Jacobs, from Amsterdam, 25, assisted by her mother Grietie Claes, living on the Bantaminestraet. She was illiterate (DTB 441/79). On 30 March 1634, the couple had their daughter Marijtjen baptized in the O.K. (DTB 6/402). Marritie Jacobs (Pauw) was the daughter of Jacobus Jansz. Pauw (of R 35405 of Montias2). On 3 December 1658, the heirs of Louis Fictor, among them Johannes Fictor, acknowledged having receivec 2,600 f. from Marritge Jacobs (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 255 of Nachträge). In the year 1679, a court sentence of the Hof van Holland stated that the widow of Anthony Ruychrock had bought in 1662 from Johannes Fictor, artful painter, married to Jannetge Bellaerts, for himself and for his seven children procreated by Jannetge, a house on the East side of the Keijsersgracht on the East side of the canal near the Heerestraet, which had been built in 1620 (ibid). On 5 March 1669, Johannes Victors empowered a procureur in The Hague to transfer to Hendrick Holtsteger, gold beater, a house in the Calverstraett at the sign of the Silver Spiegel, which he had sold to Holtsteger (Bredius, op.cit. p.256). Another Louis Victor (II) verwenvercoper (seller of paints), who was perhaps a son or grandson of the bode Louis Victor, married Christina Jacobs Pauw in 1666, who was presumably related to Maritie Jacobs Pauw (Oud Holland 4(1886), p. 221).
