Commentary	Elias Dusart, from Antwerp, dyer, living in the Heiligeweg, assisted by his father Jan Dusart, 21, was betrothed to Helena Bloijaert, 19, assisted by her mother Jannetke Bloijert on 2 May 1643 (DTB 459/184). Jan Dusart was a silk spinner (sijde reeder). On 19 April 1632, Hans van Soldt de jonge of R 21567 apprenticed his (unnamed) son to Jan Dusart to learn the trade of silk spinning (DA 842, Not. Hoogeboom). Elias Dusart may have been the brother of Christoffel Dusart, also the son of a man named Jan Dusart, who lent Rembrandt 600 f. against a pledge of a konstboeck by Lucas van Leyden in 1660. He later became guardian of Rembrandt's daughter Cornelia (Strauss, Rembrandt Documents p.532). Elisabeth Eversdijck, baptized in Leiden on 4 June 1630, was the daughter of the merchant Francois Eversdijck I (1601-1662) and of Margarita Ioppen Vermeulen (1597-1664). Her parents were married on 10 August 1625. Elisabeth was said to be 27 (she was actually 28) and living on the Groen Burchwal when she was betrothed to Elias Dusart, silk dyer on the Verwersgracht, widower of Magdalena Bloyaert, on 21 March 1659. She was assisted by her brother Frans Eversdijck II and lived op 't Water (DTB 479/443). The INTRO makes clear that Margarita Vermeulen (Elisabeth's mother) had given a helping hand and provided money for the creditors, in counterpart for which the goods in this inventory were pledged to her. The helping hand seems to have been necessary to get Dusart out of (debtors') prison over the Voorpoorte. where he was said to be sitting in a document dated 21 October 1663. Willem Pietersz. Hogeveen was listed among his creditors (De Navorscher 46(1896), p. 463). After the death of Elias Dusart, Elisabeth Eversdijck remarried in Sloten with Barent Jansz. Snappenburg, from Waardenburg, pin maker on the Rozengracht, widower of Judith Samuels Vlakborn, on 26 April 1683 (Jaarboek C.B.G. 27(1973), p. 274).
