| Buyer | Jan de Mareez op de Oude Heeregraft in't Schaepscheren |
| Buyer Notes | The address (the Schaepscheren on the Heregracht) does not help to identify the buyer. The article by E. van Houten on this house (Geschiedenis van het huis Heerengracht 223 eertyds genaamd 'Het schaepscheren', Jaarboek Amstelodamum 21(1924), pp. 141-152) does not mention any owner named De Mareez or De Marees. Perhaps Jan de Mareez of the present lot was renting the house or part of it at the time. Jan de Mareez, the buyer of this lot, may conceivably be Jan Jansz. de Marees (of R 27426), the son of Jan de Marees de oude, but nothing is less sure. The following deposition made at the request of Jan de Marees may refer to him. On 14 October 1637, Gillis van den Bogaert, sugar refiner, 50, and Pieter de Loo, sworn broker, 36, testified at the request of Jan de Marees concerning certain panels of sugar they had seen in De Marees's warehouse (NA 522, film 4861, Not. Westfrisius). Jelis or Gillis van den Bogaert bought three Spanish chairs at the sale of the late Willem Seulijns's estate in November 1629 (INVNO 1197, R 1116 of Montias1). Gillis van den Bogaert, born in Antwerp about 1589, was active as a sugar refiner from 1614 to 1655 (Poelwijk, In dienste vant suyckerbacken, p.256). The broker Pieter de Loo, born in Rouen in 1603, died before 1 July 1659 when his inventory, containing many unattributed paintings, was taken. The total assessed value of the movable goods was 3,581 gulden 7 stuivers (NA 1712). Poelwijk cites a document in the French language where Pieter de Loo, sugar refiner and maker of sugar-coated almonds (dragees) in Amsterdam took on an apprentice from Rouen (?) in 1630 (In dienste vant suyckerbacken p. 106). Note that there may have been two sugar refiners named Pieter de Loo, one active in 1593 (Poelwijk, op.cit. p. 219) and one born in 1603 (ibid. p. 257). They may have been father and son. Poelwijck seems to confound the two. On 28 January 1638, Philips Metsu, 63 (probably of R 27367), and Gillis van den Bogaert, 50, merchants, declared at the request of Meynaert Brest, likewise merchant (cited in the NOTES to R 31202), that they had inspected two cases of sugar, coming from Pernambuco, in the warehouse of Michiel de la Blockerie (Blocquerie), merchant and sugar refiner, which had been sold to him (NA 952, Not. B. Baddel). Michiel de la Blocquerie, born in Sint Truyen in 1596, first settled in Rouen, then in Middelburg where he was inscribed in the Walsche Kerk (Calvinist). He later lived in Amsterdam where he became a sugar refiner on the Bloemmarkt in de Syckerbackery (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam, p. 722). |

| Buyer | Anthony Auckema, op de Keijsersgraft |
| Buyer Family | Auckema, Anthony (II) |
| Buyer Notes | On 27 August 1571, Anthony Aucema(I) and Barthelt Aucema signed a letter of credit, which letter was used to secure a purchase in 1592 (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P. 178(1981), p. 338). In 1589, Anthony Auckema was a member of the College der Consuls of Middelburg in which all the principal merchants dealing in international trade were represented (V. Enthoven, Een symbiose tussen en regent in Ondernemers & bestuurders (Lesger and Noordegraaf ed., Amsterdam, 1999, p. 219). Anthony Auckema I may have been the father or the grandfather of our buyer Anthony Auckema II, who was born about 1582 (see below). It was probably the latter who was a witness, along with Jasper van Beringen and Anna Verdonck (born Beringen) at the baptism of Servaes Sierxma, the son of Goosen Sierxma and Elisabeth van Beringen, on 11 January 1624 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 96(1979), col. 116). On 25 February 1627, Anthony Auckema (II) and Catrijna Wickevoort had their daughter Sara baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Guiljaem van Hoorn (the brother of Jacques van Hoorn of INVNO 110), Bartelemeus de Marees, and Judith Boertens (DTB 6/166). For a possible identification of Bartelemes de Marees, see the TEXT of R 1126 of Montias1. On 14 September 1632, Anthony Auckema and Catarijna van Vickevoort had their child Jasper baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Dirck van der Parre (alias Perre) and Catrijna Klock (DTB 41/210). On Dirck van der Perre, see the NOTES to R 24906. Caterijna van Vickevoort was probably the daughter, baptized on 16 November 1600, of Casper van Vickevoort of R 21502. In an Orphan Chamber sale of 24 March 1625 (the works of art in which are covered in INVNO 570), Anthonij Auckema (II), living in the Barndesteech, bought a weerschijn rock for 9 f. In 1631, Anthonij Anckema (probably a mistake in transcription for Auckema), living on the West side of the Keysersgracht, paid a tax of 10 f. (Kohier, fol. 95 vo., p. 23). Shortly before November 1632, Anthoni Auckema II and Gertruijdt Lhommel (his second wife ?) transferred their rights to certain lands in the Beemster to Caspar Lhommel, his swager, pursuant to an act passed before the aldermen of Antwerp on 1 September 1581 (NA 563A, fol. 51). On 26 May 1638, Reyer Claesz. (of INVNO 490), 62, and Anthony Auckema, 56, both sworn brokers, testified at the request of Pieter Gerritsz. Hooft concerning the course of the exchange rate in Dantzig (NA 696A, film 4982). On 18 August 1640, the honorable Salomon Auckema declared that he intended to travel to the West Indies as commissary on the ship de Bonte Koeij. He named his father Anthony Auckema (II) to collect 200 f. from the Amsterdam Chamber of the W.I.C. on his behalf (NA 1601, fol. 93, Not. W. Hasen). On 20 March 1646, the inventory of Anthony Auckema, broker, faillit, was taken (DBK 5072/352). The works of art in this inventory are recorded in INVNO 1019. On 28 May 1646, he obtained a mandement van cessie by which he relinquished his assets to his creditors (DBK 5072/972). |

| Buyer | Hans van Loon |
| Present Location | A painting of this subject by Adriaen van Nieulandt is recorded in Venice (Wurzbach, vol. 2, p. 234.) |
| Buyer Family | Loon, Hans (Willemsz.) van |
| Buyer Notes | Extensive biographical data about Hans van Loon, his family, and his circle are contained in the notes he wrote for the better part of his long life. These were published in Nederlandsche Leeuw, 1917, pp. 15 and foll., 55 and foll., and 69 and foll. He was born in 's Hertogenbosch about 1577, spent some time in Rotterdam and Haarlem before settling in Amsterdam and died in 1658 (Gelderblom, Prosopographic Data Base and Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 307). He married Anna Ruyckhavers, daughter of Marten Ruyckhaver (or Ruychaver) and Alit van der Laan, in Haarlem on 27 May 1597. His first two children, Gertruyd and Nicolaes, were born in Rotterdam. On 7 June 1604, the couple had their son Willem baptized in Amsterdam. The witnesses were Adriaen Spierinck (Hans's swager), Marie Gerrits van Dijck (his sister-in-law), and Alit Foreest, wife of the receiver general Foreest in Alkmaar. Hans Willemsz. van Loon invested 2,900 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares of 1602 issued by the Enkhuizen Kamer of the V.O.C. (unpublished information supplied by Roelof van Gelder). He was a merchant associated with Andries Rijckaert (I ?) and, at times, with Pieter Bas (the father of Claes Bas of R 23906), Gerard van Schoonhoven (of R 31988), and Hillebrant den Otter (R 28004). He was a co-founder of the Compagnie van Assurantie. In a document of 26 May 1599, Hans Willemsz., living on the Zeedijck, refused to honor a letter of exchange submitted by Antony Gaillart (I) (of INVNO 662) (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel, R.G.P. 178(1981), p. 456.) That this was Hans Willemsz. van Loon is confirmed by his purchase of lots for 1 f. 16 st. in the Haarlem lottery of 1606 when he was said to be living on the Zeedijck in de Raap (GAA, 85/22 F 641). Later he lived on the Keisersgracht where he conducted his business. On 17 October 1619, Hans van Loon and Anna Reuchavers had their child Lieven baptized in the presence of Jan van Dalen and Marij Gerrits (DTB 5/297). Jan van Dalen, a stone (or brick) dealer who delivered stone in Leeuwarden, was married to Charlotte [...] (NA 889, 9 June 1636). On 5 December 1618, Jan van Daele was summoned along with many other stone dealers and stone carvers by the master of the tax on coarse or bulk wares regarding his stock (NA 381, fol. 542 and foll.) Both Jan van Dalen and Hans van Loon signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. In 1623, Hans van Loon and his wife Anna Ruyckhaver were portrayed by Cornelis van der Voort. She was 43 years old at the time. In 1631, Hans van Loon paid a tax of 575 f., at which time he lived on the Keysersgracht (Kohier, fol. 295, p. 67). On 31 May 1620, Hans van Loon appeared before the Orphan Chamber in a dispute over goods left by Albert Symonsz. Jonckheijn (WK 5073/889). Hans van Loon's sister Johanna married Joost Hessels. Their daughter Cornelia Hessels married Gothard or Godert Kerckering of R 21249 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 381.) He seems to have been the uncle by marriage of Marie van Offenberch, who married Dr. Robbert van der Hoeve of R 24408. On 17 April 1637, Pieter van Loon (1607-1679), another son of Hans van Loon, and his wife Anna van Foreest (daughter of Nanningh Foreest) had their son Nanningh baptized in the Remonstrant Church (DTB 301) (see also, Elias, Vroedschap, p. 443). Hans Willemsz. van Loon must not be confused with Hans Willemsz. (van) Elbinck of INVNO 516, who was a grain dealer. |

| Buyer | Willem Backer, naest den ontfanger Reael |
| Buyer Family | Backer, Willem |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer is probably identical with Willem Backer, 1595-1652, the son of Joris Jorisz. (1566-1621). He married with Bregitta (Brechtje) Spiegel on 7 February 1627, daughter of Laurens Jansz. Spiegel and Neltgen Isaacks Ouderogh (1572-1647) (Maandblad Amstelodamum 40(1953), p. 124). Laurens Jansz. Spiegel was the cousin of Marten Hendricksz. Spiegel of R 36277. He was 22 when he was betrothed to Neltje Isaacks (Ouderooch) on 10 April 1597 (DTB 408/162). He was also the brother-in-law of Cornelis Gerritsz. Schelliger of R 20235, who was married to his sister Cornelia, and of Michiel Pauw of R 34143, who was married to his wife's sister Hillegond Laurens Spiegel. In 1622, he was represented in a group portrait, together with seven other schutters, in a company that marched out to Zwolle to strengthen the garnison in that town. The painter was Claes Lastman (Pieter's brother), but, due to his death, it was completed by Adriaen van Nieulandt. The portrait of Willem Backer, standing alone, was copied by Anthony Palamedes (Blankert, Amsterdams Historisch Museum, p. 169). Willem Backer became captain of the Burgerij in 1626. He was a member of the Amsterdam Raad from 1625 until his death in 1652. He was burgomaster in 1639 and several years thereafter. He lived on the Deventer Houtmarkt. (Elias, Vroedschap, p.362.) Willem Backer, schepen, paid a tax of 425 f in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 2v, p.2). In addition, at his address on the Deventer Houtmarkt, he paid 60 f. (ibid. fol. 276, p. 63). Willem Backer was named Ridder (knight) by the Doge of Venice in 1647. Ontfanger Reael was Pieter Jansz. Reael of R 28042 (see WK 5073/789, 31 July 1620). |

| Buyer | de edele Gerrit Hudde |
| Buyer Family | Hudde, Gerrit (Hendricksz.) |
| Buyer Notes | Gerrit Hudde was baptized in Amsterdam on 8 February 1595. He was a prominent merchant dealing with Italy and the Levant. He was betrothed to Maria Witsen, daughter of Jonas Cornelisz. Witsen, on 16 January 1618 (DTB 422/141). Jonas Cornelis Witsen, in turn, was the son of Cornelis Jacobsz. Witsen. Gerrit Hudde was thus the son-in-law of the son of one of the two individuals at whose request the auction was held. Gerrit Hudde lived on the Singel. He was the brother of Hendrick Hendricksz. Hudde of R 26928 and the cousin of Regina Hudde who married Arent Cornelisz. Coster of R 21396. His sister Gertruyd Hendricks Hudde married Jan Hellincx of R 36235 (Elias, Vroedschap, pp. 161-2). Gerrit Hendricksz. Hudde was a master of the Nieuwe Kerck in 1620 (Jan Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 118). In 1620, Gerrit Hudde freighted 3 ships (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P. 186(1983), p. 778). He paid a tax of 200 f., together with the inheritance, in 1631 (Kohier, p. 14, fol. 56). He was lieutenant of an Amsterdam militia company in 1626 and served as lieutenant under Jan van Vlooswijk in 1628 He was portrayed by Claes Elias (Pickenoy) (of R 8367) in a group portrait in that year (A. Blankert, Amsterdams Historisch Museum, 1975/1979, p. 107-111). In 1640, he joined a number of Amsterdam merchants dealing in grain to sign a petition calling for an increase in the number of boats for unloading grain (korenlichters) (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis vann het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp. 282-3). In February 1645, he signed a petition to the Vroedschap calling for the enforcement of currency regulations issued in 1622 (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken 59(1925), p. 90). He was buried in the O.K. on 2 April 1647. His wife Maria Witsen lived until 1683 (Elias, op. cit. pp. 161-2). |

(Kohier, fol. 285, p. 51). On 6 September 1635, Juriaen Pietersz., wine dealer, 55 years old, testified that Marten van Winckel, factor, 5 months ago, had gone to the house of the widow of the late Olphert Janszen, vettevarier (dealer in fats and oils), named Swaentgen Stevens, concerning a guarantee that had been given (presumably by Olphert Jansz.) on a loan. Swaentgen refused to accept the guarantee (NA 520, film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). |

| Buyer | Jacques van Uffelen, op de Heeregraft |
| Buyer Family | Uffelen, Jacques (Jacomo) van (I) |
| Buyer Notes | Judging by its high price, this lot may have been an original by Pieter Aertsen. Different sources disagree on the name of the father of Jacomo van Uffelen, the brother of Marcus van Uffelen. According to Wijnroks, Dominicus van Uffelen(I), who was active in trade with Italian cities, was the father of Jacques, Marcus, Dominicus(II), Hans, and Daniel van Uffelen (Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden 1560-1640, p.259). According to Elias (Vroedschap van Amsterdam, p. 60), the brothers Jacomo and Marco, who carried on trade together in company, were the sons of Sebastiaen van Uffelen and of Margareta Dircks. According again to Elias, Jacomo van Uffelen (1590-1640), merchant in the Levant and Italy, together with Marco (Marcus) lived at first in the Nieuwe Hoogstraet in 't Wapen van Portugael, and, at the time of his death, on the Herengracht (as did the buyer of this lot), near the Driekoningstraet (Elias, ibid.) According to Van Dillen, Jacques van Uffelen was the son of Hans van Uffelen (Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 212). This possibility is left open by Wijnroks (loc.cit.). Jacomo and Jacques van Uffelen may designate different individuals in different sources. According to Elias (ibid.), Jacomo van Uffelen was baptized on 4 February 1590. Yet, in the sources cited below, he claimed to be 35 years old in 1616 and 53 years old in 1634, both of which dates suggest that he was born about 1581. We can only tentatively conclude that there were two individuals, one the son of Dominicus, or possibly of Hans (probably born in 1581) and the other, the son of Sebastiaen van Uffelen and Margaretha Dircks, born (or at least baptized) in 1590. Jacomo van Uffelen married Maria van Erp on 9 February 1616 when he was 35 years old and living on the O.Z. Achterburchwal. She was assisted by her father Arent (Arnout) van Erp (DTB 420/35). Her sister Christina van Erp was the first wife of the poet and historian Pieter Cornelisz. Hooft. Another sister, Magdalena van Erp, was married to Joost Baeck, the son of Laurens Baeck of R 28932. Her half sister, Sara van Erp, was married to David van Baerle of R 20459 (Jaarboek C.B.G. 25(1971), p. 180 and 35(1981), p. 86). After Maria van Erp's death, Jacomo van Uffelen remarried with Susanna de Haze (1587-1658) on 16 October 1618. Susanna de Haze (Haes), the widow of Jacques Mercijs II, was the daughter of Hendrick de Haze II, the son of Hendrick de Haze I of R 28875, and of Clara Coymans (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 60.) Jacques Mercijs II was the father of Pieter Mercijs of INVNO 578. On [...] October 1619 (exact date unknown), Philips Metsu, merchant, 45, made a declaration at the request of Jacques van Uffelen, husband and guardian of Juffr. Susanna de Haes, widow of Jacques Merchys (II), concerning an obligation issued by the dyer Dirck Huybertsz. which was apparently due to her (NA 200, fol. 349, film 111). Jacques van Uffelen, living on the Keysersgracht, was taxed 250 f. in 1631. In addition his voorkint (with his first wife Maria van Erp) was taxed 200 f. (Kohier, p. 70, fol. 305) (This voorkint was probably Maria van Uffelen, who married Jacob Burggraeff, cited below). On 3 November 1637, Jacques van Uffeln, resident (ingeseten) merchant, named Dirck de Coninck to collect 1400 Fl. pounds from the V.O.C. chamber in Delft (NA 952, film 1175, Not. B. Baddel). On 14 June 1634, the honorable Jacomo van Uffelen, 53, Geronimo de Haze, likewise 53 (of R 29604), Pieter van Ceulen (cited in the NOTES to R 23607), 37, Cornelis Gysbrechtsz. van Goor, 33 (cited in the NOTES to R 23699), Aris Elbertsz. Snoeck, 36, Hendrick Dommer, 38 (cited in the NOTES to R 27728), Marinus de Voocht, 32, and Jeronimus van Ceulen, 26, all merchants, declared at the request of Cornelis Berck (cited in the NOTES to R 22128) and Dirck van de Perre (cited in the NOTES too R 24906) that they had all been trading with Venice and they knew that 100 pounds in Amsterdam were equivalent to 60 pounds in Venice (except for cloth) (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). Jacomo van Uffelen was a participant in the drainage and exploitation of Horstermeer according to an act dated 18 May 1637 (NA 890, Not. van Zwieten). On 12 July 1640, Susanna de Haze, assisted by her brother-in-law Jeremias van Ceulen, presented her two children of minor age --Agneta, 17, and Jacob, 13--whose late father was Jacomo van Uffelen, merchant, and declared that the children were entitled to 36,000 f. for their father's inheritance and in addition, to their portion of the inheritance that their father had received from his brother Lucas van Uffelen, which still had not been liquidated (this according to Jacomo van Uffelen's testament). Jeremias van Ceulen and David Heesters, both brothers-in-law of the late Jacomo van Uffelen, stood surety for the proper transfer of the inheritance. David Heesters, a merchant of South Netherlandish origin born about 1609 was first noted in Amsterdam in 1630 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 303 and Prosopographic Data Base). Jeremias van Ceulen was a merchant who was associated in shipping contracts in company with other merchants, according to a contract signed on 11 December 1636 (NA 949, film 1172, Not. Baddel). David Heesters and his brother Jeronimus Heesters signed an agreement with 24 other creditors of the insolvent Cornelis van Bruegel on 17 June 1650 (DTB 5072/872). On 3 August 1640, Jacob (Jacomo) Burgraeff (Borchgraeff) (1606-1673), husband of Maria van Uffelen (1616-1680), the daughter from the first marriage of Jacomo van Uffelen, made an appearance before the Orphan Chamber (WK 5073/789, fol. 251). Maria van Uffelen made two testaments in 1679 and 1680, when she was already the widow of Borgraeff. She made the following bequests concerning the family portraits in her testament of 1679: her son Jacques would inherit the portrait of her late husband by (Cornelis) Jansens (van Ceulen); her daughter Gertruy would inherit the large painting representing her and her late husband and the huysgesin of the latter by Gerards (probably Gerard van Zijl); her daughter Kristina, the two portraits by Rembrandt van Rijn; Jan, the portrait of her late husband done by (Pieter) van Molle (Mol) in Paris and her own (Maria's) portrait copied after the one by Rembrandt and retouched (geretorqueet) by him; Agneta, the two portraits of her father and mother Jacomo van Uffelen and Maria van Erp; and Arnout, the two portraits of her husband's father and mother done in Antwerp by (Hendrick) van Balen (Jaap van der Veen, Onbekende opdrachtgevers van Rembrandt, Jacomo Borgraeff en Maria van Uffelen en hun portretten door Rembrandt, Jonson van Ceulen, Van Zijl, van Mol en Jacob Backer, Kroniek van het Rembrandtshuis 98/1-2, pp. 15-16). The sister of Jacques van Uffelen, named Anna, married Hendrick Broen (of R 7618) on 16 June 1602. Jacques van Uffelen was an important collector of Italian paintings. |

| Buyer Family | Brouwer, Jacob Dircksz. |
| Buyer Notes | Jacob Dircksz. Brouwer, alias Eenhorn, 1592-aft. 1644, was the son of Dirck Adriaensz. who, coming from Loosdrecht, became a citizen of Amsterdam in 1589. He was also the brother of Cornelis Dircksz. Abba of R 23606. He was appointed substituut schout extraordinaris in 1635 and ordinaris in 1637, principally to clean up the quartier of Haarlemmer dijck, which was thick with thieves, whores, and other scum (Wijnma, Uit de kring van Rembrandt en Vondel p. 151). He married Lisbeth Hendricksdr. Servaes in 1619, Jacomijntge Andriesdr. in 1639, and Alida van Daeken, widow of Lucas van Uffelen, in 1644. His brewery, het Eenhorn, was located on the Haarlemmerstraet (Elias, Vroedschap, p.418). He was already living on the Haarlemmerstraet in 1631 when he paid a tax of 60 f. (Kohier, p. 46). In 1623, he was portrayed in a schutterstuck (the corporaalschap of Lieutenant Pieter Hasselaer) by Cornelis van der Voort (Oud Holland, 5(1887), p. 5). |

| Buyer Family | Bors, Jacob (Jacobsz) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer may be Jacob Jacobsz. Bors. On 24 April 1593, Jacob Bors, living in Meerhuysen, 20 years old, assisted by his father, Jacob Fransz. Bors, was betrothed to Stijntje Gerrits, 21, assisted by her father Gerrit Rochusz. on 24 April 1593 (DTB 664/76). He was presumably related to the soap boiler of the same name who died in 1564. He may also be Jacob Bors de jonge, born in 1599, licentiate in law, who was living on the Bloemgracht in de Gulden Naelden in 1638. Jacob Bors, living on the Keysersgracht, paid a tax of 60 f in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 95 vo. 23). This taxpayer may be Jacob Jacobsz. Bors or Jacob Bors de jonge. |

| Buyer | Jacques Nijs |
| Buyer Family | Nijs, Jacques |
| Buyer Notes | Jacques Nijs was baptized in the O.L. Vrouwenkerk in Antwerp on 16 April 1589 (I. van Eeghen, Het geslacht Nijs, Jaarboek Amstelodamum 60(1968), p. 102). On 10 April 1627, Jacques Nijs, from Antwerp, 37, merchant, was betrothed to Marya Schott, from Middelburgh (DTB 764/25). On 13 September 1630, Jacques Nijs and Maria Schot had their daughter Hester baptized in the Wa.K. in the presence of Jacques Schot (see NOTES to R 29995); Maria Sohier, widow of Everaerdt Becker; and Anne du Quesne, widow of Anthoine Nijs (probably the first of this name who died in 1601) (DTB 130/293). Jacques Nijs was the brother of Anthonij Nijs (of R 7616) with whom he was in business until 1624 when differences arose over Jacques's handling of money matters. He died on 5 August 1631 (Van Eeghen, p. 102). Maria Sohier remarried with Everhaerdt Becker (another witness to the baptism of Hester Nijs). Everhaerdt Becker was the father of Samuel Becker (1581-1640) who married Jacomina van Baerle, the sister of David van Baerle of R 20459. David Becker, the son of Samuel Becker and Jacomina van Baerle, married Justina van Baerle, the daughter of David van Baerle in 1664 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 562). |
