Commentary	Balthasar van der Veen was only about 13 years old when he bought lots in the Haarlem lottery of 1606. He was then living in the Coninck van Vranckrijck in the Warmoesstraet (GAA 73/46 F 583). On 6 April 1639, Balthasar van der Veen, from Amsterdam, painter, 42, assisted by his neve Jan Haes, living on the Kleuveniersgraft, was betrothed to Grietie Hendricks Schaeff, from Emden, widow of Roeloff Vos, living on the Conincxgracht. She was illiterate (DTB 675/121). Jan Haes, the nephew or cousin of Balthasar van der Veen, was a wine dealer, as was Roeloff Vos. Roeloff Vrericx Vos, wine dealer on the Wisselsluijs, was insinuated along with many other wine dealers on 30 November 1630 (NA 910, film 1146, Not. Pieter Eyloff). Grietie Hendricks is unlikely to have been the daughter of the Notary Hendrick Schaeff (of INVNO 123) who was first married in 1624. On 23 April 1643, the honorable Balthasar van der Veen, painter, and the honorable Grietge Heyndricks made their testament. They are living on the East side of the Coningsgracht (probably the house where Grietge was living at the time of her marriage). In case of her death, her good friend Joost Bourgongie will be executor in addition to her husband. The provisions of the testament indicated that she had more money than he did ( Oud Holland 12(1894), p. 58). On 1 June 1650, Margriete van der Veen, living in Naarden, drew up a procuration allowing her husband Balthasar van der Veen to collect money due to her in Amersfoort (ibid.) In 1657, he became a member of the Guild of St. Lucas in Haarlem (ibid.) The painter Balthasar van der Veen cannot be identical with the individual of the same name, married to Aeltgen (Alidt) Jaspers Becker, who was said to be the widow of Balthasar van der Veen by 6 July 1644 (DTB 5072/872). Aeltgen Becker was the mother of Aeltgien van der Veen, the wife of Andries Polster of R 23420.
