| Commentary | On 13 June 1592, Hans van Rijckenroij, from Antwerp, shoemaker, 24 years old, assisted by his brotherin-law Hans Gysbrechtsz., was betrothed to Susanna Verbijst, from Antwerp, living on the N.Z. Voorburgwal, 27, assisted by her father Henrick Verbijst (DTB 406/193). Their son Abraham was baptized in the Oude Kerck on 21 April 1597 (witnesses Lysbeth Verbijst and Henrick Root) (DTB 3/73). Hans apparently remarried with Judith van Wolfaert. Their child Joannis was baptized in the N.K. on 10 July 1605 (DTB 39/70). On 11 June 1618, Hans van Rijckenoij, 50, shoemaker, and Willem Evertsz., 30, shoelapper, made a deposition at the request of Pieter van Noort from Leiden (NA 200, film 111, Not. J.F. Bruyning). Hans van Rijckenroij was buried on 13 October 1621 (DTB 1089A/29). On 10 December 1621, Jacques van Gere and Hans Sebrechts were appointed guardians over the minor children of Hans van Rijckenroy, shoemaker, by the Orphan Chamber (WK 5073/513, fol. 188). Earlier, on 16 March 1602, Lysbeth van Ryckenroy, 38, had been assisted by her neve Hans Sebrechtsz. when she was betrothed to Lambert van Bulderen of Deventer, 36 (DTB 410/46). Lysbeth van Ryckenroy was probably the sister of Hans van Rijckenroy. In addition to being a shoemaker, Hans van Rijckenroij was also (and perhaps primarily) a leather dealer. An auction of hides and other leather goods belonging to him were auctioned off by the Orphan Chamber on 5 December 1621. His presumed son Hans van Rijckenoij II was cited in a notarial act of 7 March 1650 (NA 1818, film 2083, Not. Eggericx). |
