Introduction	Den 6en february sijn vercocht de naergelate goederen van Jan Maes ende Trijntge Pieters.
Commentary	On 3 October 1615, Jan Maes, from Zevender, wine distributor, 33 years old, living on the Verwerssingel (for 28 years), no living parents, was betrothed to Trijntie Pieters, 28, from Rinsmageest, living on the Zeedijck, assisted by her acquaintance Maritgen Gerrits (DTB 419/238). In January (?) 1628, Pieter Hermansz., wine dealer (cited in the TEXT of R 391), sold a house on the Zeedijck to Jan Maes, wine dealer, for 2,300 f. (WK 5073/913). On 16 January 1636, Dirck Maes, as the uncle of Dirck, 14, Pieter, 13, Gerrit, 12, Coren(?) and Jannetje, twins, 11, Gierten, 10, Grietgen, 7, Jannetgen, 6, the children of Jan Maes, wine dealer, whose mother was Trijntgen Pieters, brought some assets to the Orphan Chamber on the children's behalf (WK 5073/7089). The wine dealer should not be confused with Jan Maes, married to Anna van der Meer who died before 1 March 1652 when his widow signed a marriage contract with the tobacco dealer Paulus van Heemskerck (INVNO 1173). It is not clear which of the two, if not a third individual with this name, living on the Rockin, paid a tax of 30 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 251, p. 57).
