Commentary	On On 6 January 1657, Barent Jansz. van Kippen, as uncle and guardian of Maritie Hendrix, signed an agreement which listed several assets that had apparently been inherited by Maritie Hendrix. These included a schepen kennisse (an obligation passed before the aldermen of Amsterdam) for 420 f. issued by Jan Hendricksz., goldsmith, issued on 7 December 1635; an obligation issued in the name of Hendrick Jansz., painter, issued on 1 May 1634; a house on Doelingstraet bought by Barent Jansz. on 8 January 1610; the record of the purchase of a house on the St. Claesstraet by Maddelentje Veris, and various other houses. Gerrit Barentsz. van Kippen, the putative son of Barent Jansz. van Kippen, married Maria Claes Spaerooch, the sister of Neeltje Claes Spaerooch (married to Daniel Jansz. van Beuningen of R 8207 of Montias2) and of Harman Claesz. Spaeroogh of INVNO 131. On 26 June 1640, Gerrit Barentsz. van Kippen and Maria Claes Spaerooch had their son Nicolaes baptized. On 22 March 1645, Geraert van Kippe and Maria Claes had their son Barent (named after his grandfather, the owner of the goods in the present inventory) baptized in the NZK (DTB 65/6). On 4 November 1646, Geraert van Kippen and Marya Spaerhoogh had a child baptized in the presence of Mathijs Pietersz. Croock, Aeltje Gerrits (the child's grandmother), and Marja Boudewijns Spaeroogh (DTB 93/137). Mathijs (Thijs) Pietersz. Croock (or Croeck) was a painter (see the NOTES to R 29545). Magdalentje Barents van Kippen was presumably the daughter of Barent Jansz. van Kippen. In her inventory, dated 1658, there was a portrait of her grandfather done by Hondecoter (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 1236).
