Commentary	Machtelt Jans has not been identified. She was presumably the mother of the children of whom Cornelis Felt had been appointed guardian. Cornelis Felt was a merchant who freighted one ship between 1590 and 1602 (IJzerman, Economisch Historisch Jaarboek, 17 (1931), p. 269). In 1621, he was appointed by the Orphan Chamber guardian over the children of the late Jan Cuyper (of R 29736 of Montias2). Cornelis Feldt was a signatory to the Remonstrant petition of 1628.
