Introduction	Den 12e december 1635 de naergelaten goederen van Abraham van Eijnthoven vercocht dese naervolgende goederen.
Commentary	There were two individuals living about the same time named Abraham van Eijndhoven. The owner of the goods in the present sale, who lived on the Angeliersgracht, died before 12 December 1635, the date of the sale. The other lived near the Beurs on the Uijterse steechgen on 23 May 1637. It is not known which of the two -- the owner of the goods in this sale who died in 1635 or the one who lived on the Uijterse steechgen in 1637, was married to whom. On 13 November 1621, Abraham van Eijndhoven, 26, assisted by his father Guill[aume] van Eyndhoven (of R 27656 of Montias2), living on the Coelevriersgracht, was betrothed to Jannetje Willems, no living parents, assisted by her sisters Tryntje and Willeges(?) Willems, living on Uijlenburgh (DTB 426/65). On 4 April 1627, Abraham van Eijndhoven and Jannetje Willems had their son Willem baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Hessel Gerritsz. (presumably the printmaker and cartographer of R 20968 of Montias2) (DTB 40/390). On 7 August 1633, Abraham and Jannetje had their son Abraham baptized in the Remonstrant Church (DTB 301/2). The other couple had children baptized about the same time in the N.K. On 2 November 1630, Abraham van Einthoven and Sara van Eijnhoven [nee Corput] had their son Abraham baptized in the N.K. (DTB 4/108). On 16 January 1633, Abraham van Eijnthoven and Sara van de Corput had their son Isaack baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Alijda van Corenput (DTB 41/231). Some clothing in the present sale was bought by Abraham Bouwensz., guardian of the children. This individual, who may have been a painter, is cited in the NOTES to R 32474. But this still does not resolve the problem of identifying the owner of the goods in this sale.
