Commentary	Cornelis Rutgers, 27, assisted by his mother Jannetje Cornelis, living on the O.Z. Achterburchwal, was betrothed to Anna van Loosvelt, 17, assisted by Christina Michaels, her mother, living on the Heeregracht, on 21 March 1624 (DTB 669/233). (Her name was misspelled Lonvelt in Rembrandt Documents, p. 152), He was a prominent Mennonite merchant. On the Loosvelt family, which was also Mennonite, see R 21192 of Montias2. Cornelis Rutgers may have been the son of Rutgert Cornelisz. and Teuntgen Symons (died before 1616), cited in R 23782 of Montias2. He may also have been a brother or cousin of the Mennonite David Rutgers (cited in TEXT of R 439 of Montias1 and the NOTES to R 24929 of Montias2). On 17 January 1635, he had notary Hoogeboom insinuate Isaack van Hertsback (the well-known creditor of Rembrandt) for his failure to pay a letter of exchange for 300 fl. pounds (NA 843). He died before 27 July 1638, when his widow, Anna van Loosvelt was dunned for the prompt payment of a letter of exchange (belonging to Gerardina Evers) (NA 1186, fol. 35, Not. J. de Vos). Anna van Loosvelt was buried on 24 January 1660, coming from the Warmoesstraet (DTB 1055/115).
