Commentary	The portrait of Pater Jan Eij (or Jan Ney) in her collection suggests that the late Gerritje Jans was Catholic. Claes Reyersz. Molensteen became city surgeon in 1683 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 47). On Reyer Molensteen (or Meulensteen), who was certainly R.C., see also INVNO 198 (R 116). Gerritie Jans, according to the INTRO, was the godmother of Reyer and Pieter Molensteen. On the witness Rogier Ramsden, see INVNO 193.
