Commentary	On 31 December 1606, Hans Jansz., silversmith, from Breda, and Lijsbet Matthijsen had their daughter Annetje baptized in the O.K. (DTB 4/185). On 4 April 1631, Hans Jansz., jeweler, appeared before the Orphan Chamber and declared that his three children, Jacobmyne, 23, Jacob, 18, and Maritjen, 16, whose late mother was Lysbeth Mathys, were entitled to 6,000 f. for their mother's inheritance (WK 5073/954). On the next day, Hans Janszen, from Breda, jeweler, widower of Lysbeth Mathys, living on the Rockin, was bretrothed to Tuijntje (Truijtie) Pieters, from Antwerp, widow of Ambrosius Jansz., living as above (41 months a widow) (DTB 437/145). On Ambrosius Jansz., wine dealer, see R 808 of Montias1. On 13 June 1633, Hans Jansz. jeweler, and Hans Heiden, Moskovisvaerder (shipper of goods to Moscovy), signed a contract whereby Heiden would travel to Moscovy and handle the affairs of Hans Jansz. there, for a salary of 450 f. a year (Economisch-Historisch Jaarboek 2(1916), pp. 275-6). On 24 December 1634, Hans Hitseson, sworn broker, as guardian of the children of Trijntje (sic) Pieters of the first bed, procreated by Ambrosius Jansz., constituted himself surety for Gerrit Remmen who had been condemned to pay Hans Janssen 70 f. 12 st. 8 pen. (NA 520, film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). The wine dealer Gerrit Pietersz. Amstenraet, cited in the INTRO, was the father of Andries Amstenraet of INVNO 124 (R 31 of Montias1). Hans Jansz. seems to have been still alive on 7 August 1637 when the tailor Herman Pietersz. declared at the request of the widow of the cloth merchant Jan Thielens that he had bought 5 ellen of cloth on the order of the requirante from the shop of Hans Jansz. jeweler (NA 844, film 570). At the sale of books left by Pieter Ruttens, bachelor, of 24 January 1618 (WK 5073/954), Hans Jansz., goldsmith living bij 't Weeshuis, bought various books, including 1 uijtlegginge van de Psalmen for f. 3:15:--. For another inventory of Hans Jansz. and Truijtie Pieters, taken in January 1634, see INVNO 456.
