| Buyer | Abraham van Loosvelt swager van Luyt Claesz. [crossed out: in de copere berch] |
| Buyer Family | Loosvelt (Loovelde), Abraham van |
| Buyer Notes | On 21 May 1611, Abraham van Lovelde, from Leyden, 28, living on the O.Z. Achterburchwal, assisted by his mother Anna van Loosveld, was betrothed to Josina Pieters de Penin, from Lisbon, 17, assisted by her mell Francois de Penin (DTB 415/93). On Francois de Penin (or Penijn), see R 27716. On 26 May 1619, the couple baptized their daughter Sara in the presence of Sara de Penijn (probably I) (DTB 40/47). When he baptized his child Pieter on 2 February 1617, he was called Abraham van Loosvelt (witness: Jan de Blide). Abraham van Lovelde or Loosvelt was the brother of Adriaen van Loosvelt (of R 21192) and of Jacob van Loosvelt (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P. 178(1981), p. 429.) The family was Mennonite. Abraham Loosvelt paid a tax of 12 f. 10 st. in 1631, at which time he lived on the Dwarsstraet from the Spinhuys (Kohier, fol. 245, p.56). He is probably identical with Abraham Loovelde, sugar refiner, who rented a potbakery to set up a sugar refinery on January 13, 1613 (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1933), p. 25). Abraham van Loosvelt, merchant in Amsterdam, freighted a ship to La Rochelle on 20 ebruary 1606 to fetch salt and wine and to sail to Reval (now Tallin, in present-day Estonia) to deliver same (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel, R.G.P. 184(1983), p. 280.) On 22 August 1635, Abraham van Lovelde, 52 (thus born in 1583, as the betrothal document cited above indicated), made a declaration at the request of a Middelburg merchant (NA 695A, film 4981). On 8 December 1636, Abraham van Loosvelt, broker, gave a deposition regarding 65 ounces of oriental pearls (NA 949, film 1172). On 24 December 1637, Abraham van Loosvelt, sworn broker, 55, and Jacob Bacherach, merchant, 28, declared at the request of Michiel le Petit that, three or four days ago, they had been in the house of Daniel van Beringen (cited in the NOTES to R 20584) when a letter was brought in stating that Michiel le Petit was deceased. The faillit inventory of Abraham Loosvelt, maeckelaer, was taken on 11 and 19 May 1646 (DBK 5072/352, fol. 35 and foll.) The kerkeraad of his church advised him that he would only be allowed to take part in communion if his creditors were satisfied with him and had no objection to his performing his religious duty (Roodenburg, Onder censuur, p. 380.) Luyt Claesz. could not be identified. He is probably not identical with the vaendrich (flag bearer of a militia company) of that name who was buried on 17 June 1618 (DTB 1053/288). |

| Buyer | [crossed out: Samuel de Meijer in de Keijserstraet tot van Camp] |
| Buyer Family | Meijer, Samuel de |
| Buyer Notes | On 1 May 1621, Samuel de Meyer, from Antwerp, 30 years old, living in the Warmoesstraet, assisted by Adriaen van den Bergh, his cousin, was betrothed to Christina van Camp, 24, assisted by Ael Jansdr., her mother (DTB 669/10). Samuel de Meyer's cousin Adriaen Jansz. van den Berch, along with his putative brother Wouter Jansz., signed a petition in November 1628 calling for the dismissal of Remonstrant officers of the Amsterdam militia (Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 1, p. 501). Samuel de Meyer was buried in the O.K., coming from the Breestraet, on 22 October 1636 (8 f. were paid to the church) (DTB 1045/90vo.) Samuel de Meyer may be the son or nephew of Jacob (or Jacques) de Meyer who invested 8000 f. in V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 189). The investment was made by Hans Hunger on behalf of Jacob de Meyer and his brothers (ibid.) Jacob (Jacques) de Meijer was a merchant, originally from Antwerp, who spent some time in Hamburg before settling in Amsterdam between 1590 and 1600. He was a Lutheran, at whose house meetings of the Lutheran Community were held about 1600, He was insolvent in 1609 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, pp. 118, 173, and 308). On 4 December 1635, Samuel de Meyer, sworn broker, 41 (he was actually three years older), lying in bed, testified at the request of Jaques Pietersen, jeweler, that he had sold on Pietersen's behalf a diamond set in a claw ring, worth 420 f., to Willem Janssen van Thielt, who had failed to pay for it (NA 520, film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). Tot van Camp may mean that Samuel de Meijer was living with his in-laws at the time of the present sale. Hans Hunger was a Lutheran merchant who played a role in organizing the trips of Hendrick Hudson to the North American continent (see the NOTES to R 29906). |

| Buyer | Melchior van Hooren |
| Buyer Family | Hooren, Melchior van (II ?) |
| Buyer Notes | Melchior van Hooren I, born in Antwerp, became a citizen of Amsterdam on 9 March 1589 (Gelderblom, Prosopographic Data Base). The following betrothal act probably refers to Melchior van Hoorn II, born about 1581. On 31 August 1612, Melchior van Hoorn, from Antwerp, 31 living in the Nes, was betrothed to Susanna Jolijt Pieters, 29, living in the Kalverstraet, assisted by Pieter Jolijt, her father, and Susanna Gommers (I), her mother (DTB 416/250). Pieter Jolit, born in Mechelen about 1567, became a poorter of Amsterdam in 1592. He was an ironmonger (ijserkramer). He was a staunch counter-Remonstrant, whose vehement dispute with the Remonstrant Abraham Anthonisz. (of R 20033), in a horse- or mule-drawn barge, on the way to The Hague on 18 September 1618, was recorded in some detail in a notarial deposition (Dudok van Heel, Abraham Anthonisz. Recht (1588-1664) een Remonstrants opdrachtgever van Rembrandt, Maandblad Amstelodamum 65(1978), p. 84). Jolijt invested 600 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares and paid a tax of 75 f. in 1631, still living in the Kalverstraet (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 174). On 8 September 1615, Melchior van Hoorn gave his age as 38 in a deposition, which would seem to be roughly consistent (four years difference) with the age given at the betrothal of Melchior van Hoorn II above (NA 378). On 9 June 1622, Melchior van Hooren (II ?) and Willem van Wely (of R 21266) were named by the aldermen as arbiters in a dispute concerning the delivery of civet (NA 548, fol. 183, Notary Westfrisisus). On 3 September 1632, Melchior van Horen (II), coopman, appeared before the Orphan Chamber, and declared that his four children, Melchior (III), 15, Cornelia, 13, Susanna, 12, and Pieter, 10, whose late mother was Susanna Jolijt, were entitled to 4,800 f. for their mother's inheritance (WK 5073/789). Melchior van Hooren (II ?), merchant, paid a tax of 200 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the South side of the Heeregracht (Kohier, fol. 183, p. 42). His daughter Cornelia married Isaack van Peenen (see INTRO to INVNO 395 in R 384 of Montias1). Melchior van ooren (II) died in 1642. For his post-mortem inventory, which does not include the present lot, see INVNO 395. It was probably Melchior van Hoorn III, born about 1617, who bought the Casteel van Antwerpen on the Keizersgracht from the heirs of Abraham Casteleijn in 1645 (R 35076). |

| Buyer | Pieter van Luffelen op de Sedijck |
| Buyer Family | Luffelen, Pieter van |
| Buyer Notes | On 15 July 1618, the honorable Pieter van Uffelen, on one side, and Barent Albertsz., on the other, both merchants, reached an agreement on the payment of a letter of exchange (NA 942). On 6 January 1626, Pieter van Luffelen and Maria Thonis baptized their child Aeltje in the presence of Willem de Vries (possibly the buyer of that name of R 23597) (DTB 40/327). On 24 October 1627, the same father with his wife Maria Jans (perhaps an error for Mary Thonis) baptized their son Jacob in the presence of Sara Hermans (DTB 40/420). For a deposition made at the request of Pieter van Luffele and of some other former farmers of the wine tax, see the NOTES to R 27378. According to R 27453, he lived on the Zeedijck in de Elantshoofd. According to an act of procuration dated 21 December 1624, in which Sara van Luffelen, widow of Thomas Marinus (of R 29940), charged him with taking over some of her affairs, he was her cousin (NA 21S, Notary Salomon Hendricx). On 1 November 1625, he was involved in a dispute over a letter of exchange with Nicolaes Bas of R 23906 (NAA 3513, fol. 517). On 24 February 1627, he ceded a part of a ship to Sr. Anthony de Coninck (of R 23002) (NA 661, fol. 83vo, Not. J. Warnaerts). On 28 February 1637, Pieter van Luffelen, merchant, 42, declared at the request of Dr. Claes Pietersz. Tulp (of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson fame) that he had been living in Tulp's house on the Keysersgracht, for which he paid no more than 230 f. a year (NA 991, fol.110, Not. J. Bosch). It is not certain that this was the same house on the Keisersgracht in de Tulp, near the Westerkerck, in which Tulp had been living (Elias, Vroedschap p.348). On 8 June 1637, Pieter van Luffelen insinuated the merchants Jacob and Henrick Ontfaellis (Omphalius) (of R 20580), who had failed to pay a debt of 624 f. owed to Jan Crijs in Cologne (NA 415, film 6433). On 14 February 1641, Van Luffelen was said to be a broker dealing in wine (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), p. 295). |

| Buyer Family | Gras, Jan |
| Buyer Notes | On 29 May 1593, Hans Gras, from Limberch, 28 years old, living in Middelburg, assisted by Hans Ney, his neve, was betrothed to Catelijne Opmeer, living op de Dam, assisted by Hendrick Opmeer, her father, and Nelletgen Denisdr., her mother (DTB 406/358). Hendrick Opmeer (Overmeer) was a spices merchant, who lived on the Dam when he paid a tax of 12 f. in 1585. He also dealt in oil, among other products (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1933), p. 173.) On 24 October 1595, Jasper Grevenraet (of R 20028), merchant living in Amsterdam, constituted himself surety for a debt of 73 pounds and 7 schellingen that Hendrick Stoop owed to Jan Gras (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel, R.G.P. 178(1981), pp. 82-3). He invested 3,600 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 128). Jan Gras's sister Maria married Anthony Smyters of R 29995. He invested 5400 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, op.cit. p. 128.) He paid a tax of 150 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the N.Z. Ooster Achterburchwal (Kohier, fol. 290, p. 66). He was a director of the W.I.C. at some unknown date. His wife Catharina Hendricksdr. Overmeer died in 1621. (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister,ibid.). He was buried on 21 November 1639 (DTB 1054/128). |

| Buyer | Not[aris] Pieter Ruttens |
| Buyer Family | Ruttens, Pieter (II) |
| Buyer Notes | A sale of books left by Pieter Rutten (I), bachelor (j.m.), organized by the Orphan Chamber, took place on 24 January 1618 (WK 5073/954). On 3 May 1618, Abraham Anthonisz. (of R 20033) was appointed guardian over the goods left by Pieter Rutten (I) (WK 5073/513, fol. 167). Given these dates, Pieter Rutten I cannot be identical with Pieter Ruttens, goldsmith, who held a procuration from Cornelis van Bodegem on 11 July 1618 (NA 362, Not. W. Cluyt). Abraham Anthonisz. was apparently the nephew of Pieter Ruttens (I) cited above. According to an entry in the guardianship papers of the WK (5073/513, 5 January 1618, fol. 164), Abraham Anthonisz. had recently been appointed guardian over the goods left by Jan Ruttens and Brecht Wouters. Notaris Pieter Ruttens, who bought the present lot in 1621, must have been the second of this name (though not his son, since Pieter Rutten is said to have died unmarried. On 10 July 1618, Hans Romburch (of R 27468) and Jacques Mercier (of R 20399) insinuated notary Pieter Ruttens II for spreading rumors that they were bankrupt. Ruttens told the notary that he hoped that he had spoken from carelessness (onvoorsichtichheyt) (NA 621, Not. Sybrant Cornelisz.) The heirs of Notaris Ruttens (II) paid a tax of 50 f. in 1631, at which time they lived on the Rockin. It was presumably his son of the same name, Pieter Ruttens III, also notaris publicus, living on the Rockin, who was betrothed to Catarina Pellicorne, 39, assisted by her sister Maria Pellicorne, on 28 March 1638 (DTB 448/209). In 1644, an individual named Pieter Ruttens was said to be a cloth merchant. This merchant, who may or may not be identical with the second notary of the same name, had died before 7 December 1667 (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 144(1974), pp. 431-2 and p. 770). Pieter Ruttens (III?) signed the 1645 petition calling for the enforcement of currency regulations issued in 1622 (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken 59(1625), p. 89). |

| Buyer | Simon Glaudy |
| Buyer Family | Glaudy [or Glaude or Glauwe], Simon |
| Buyer Notes | Simon Glauwe was a goldsmith. A few months before the death of Abraham Vinck of the present inventory, he married Vinck's daughter Margareta (I. van Eeghen, Dirck Hendricksz. Centen in ''t Tiber van Rome' en Abraham Vinck in 'Limborch', Maandblad Amstelodamum 67(1980_, p. 34). The betrothal record read as follows. On 23 April 1619, Simon Glaude (signs Glauwe), widower of Catharina Michiels, living in the Nes, was betrothed to Margarita Vincx, from Naples, 17, assisted by Abraham Vincx, her father and Victoria Vincx, her mother, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal (DTB 423/233). On 14 September 1623, Sijmon Glaudij and Margriet Vinckel had their daughter Margiet baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Hans Vinckel and Cathrijn Vinckel (DTB 6/58). Hans Vinckel, living on the Zeedijck, was a wine dealer (NA 910, insinuation dated 30 November 1630). Cathrijn Vinckel, born in Aken in 1605, was married to Willem de Wolff, the nephew of Joost van den Vondel in 1627 (Wijnman, Uit den kring van Rembrandt and Vondel, p. 175). It may have been Simon Glaude's son of the same name, married to Magdalena Lyons, who had his daughter Marija baptized in the O.K. on 4 November 1621 in the presence of Jorees (?) van den Berch and Johan Glauwe (DTB 5/370). Dirck Glaude (INVNO 508 and R 24438), embroiderer and perhaps dealer in paintings, may have been the brother or son of Simon. An embroiderer named Dirck Simon delivered a tapeten cleed to the city in 1621 (Oud Holland 24 (1906), p. 120). |

| Buyer Family | Stopper, Claes (Hendricksz.) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer is likely to be Claes Hendricksz. Stopper, pachter van den wijnimpost in 1609 (R 29439) and in 1620 (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1934), p. 383). He was said to be 46 years old in a deposition of 22 January 1629 where he stated he had been farmer of the tax on vinegar from October 1627 to December 1628 (NA 834, not. Jacob Bruyningh). On 9 August 1630, Claes Hendricksz. Stopper and Broer Jansz. (of R 24947) appeared before the Orphan Chamber as guardians over the son of the innkeeper Jan Jansz. Boeck (WK 5073/789). On 15 June 1633, Gerrit Adriaensz. Meun named his wife Susanna Cent Jacobs Coster (daughter of Cent Jacobsz. Coster of INVNO 887) to indemnify Bartelt Philipsz. (of R 27378), Adriaen Cornelisz. Brederode (the father of Bredero of R 28859), Claes Henricx Stopper, and Hendrick Brugmans from any responsibilty for their guarantee (borchtochte) for 7,200 f. for the farm on the wine tax (which Gerrit Adriaensz. had apparently acquired) (NA 991, fol. 31, Not. J. Bosch). On 3 July 1636, Claes Hendricksz. Stopper, 54, former tax master of the tax of 3 gulden on bier, made a deposition at the request of the merchant Clement van Sorgen of INVNO 1290 (who went bankrupt at the beginning of 1645) (NA 1276, Not. P. Barcman). In 1637, Stopper was master of the taxes on beer (17 February, NA 1185, Not. J. de Vos). On 30 July 1637, the honorable Claes Hendricksz. Stopper, as husband and guardian of Trijn Jans, item Geertje Jans, spinster, Gerrit Adriaensz., as uncle and guardian of Machtelt Jans, all inhabitants of Amsterdam, and all heirs of Lysbeth Lamberts, in her life wife of Cornelis van Heemskerck (de jonge, of R 20696), named Meynert Pietersz. Emaus, their co-heir, to represent them in their claims on the estate of Lysbeth Lamberts (NA 642, film 4954, Not. Sybrant Cornelissen, fol. 412). Gerrit Adriaensz. was presumably the individual who had acquired the tax farm on wine four years earlier. Meynert Pietersz. Emaus, born about 1603, was also a master of the taxes (on wine), according to an act of 2 September 1637 (NA 1320, fol. 130vo, Not. J. de Bos). Claes Hendricksz. Stopper, no children, was buried on 20 January 1642. He was living in the Spinhuyssteech (DTB 1055/1). He seems to have been the brother of Loff Hendricksz. Stopper of R 28162. Both are likely to have been the sons of Hendrick Loefsz., stopper, who witnessed the pre-nuptial contract of Ghijsbert Keyser, together with the painter Jan Basse, on 26 May 1601 (NA 4, fol. 50vo, Not. Pilorius, Extracten). |

| Buyer | Willem Haseldyn |
| Buyer Family | Haseldijn, Willem |
| Buyer Notes | On 18 January 1613, the house called het Schuijtgen, between the Nicolaesstraet and the Nieuwestraet, was sold by executive order (for the benefit of the creditors of the insolvent seller) to Willem Haseldijn, Englishman. Haseldijn permitted Jan Tayller, a cloth merchant, to live there (Tayller was buried on 23 December 1623). Tayller's widow, Elisabeth Stockmans, finally acquired the house from Anna Wijmer, widow of Jan Six I, on 13 February 1643 (Maandblad Amstelodamum 58(1971), p. 60). Willem Haseldijn, according to a document dated 17 January 1616, hired Isaac Livaerts to make vermillion from mercury (probably for dying cloth) (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 78(1933), pp. 141-2). In 1631, he was living on the N.Z. Voorburgwal when he paid a tax of 50 f (Kohier, fol. 32v). On 17 February 1634, Willem Haseldijn, English merchant, requested a deposition by Pieter van Teijlingen and Pieter Jansz. Dommer (of R 7689) concerning the quality of Venetian turpentine (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). On 8 May 1634, Willem Hasilden, merchant, 56, and Abraham van Lovelde, admitted broker, 50 (of R 19997), made a deposition, at the request of Juffr. the widow of Joost Baijsot. Hasilden delared that he had bought, under the supervision of the broker (Lovelde) a pack of boer charcher (?) no. 29, marked fino grocco, at the price of 10 f. per pound. The merchandise was damaged (ibid.) On 27 October 1616, Willem Haseldijn, from Goldingham in England, 40 years of age, living on the N.Z. Voorburgwal, was betrothed to Aafje Dircx, widow of Robbert Wert. He signed William Hasilden. (DTB 421/3). The buyer Aefge Dirxdr. Wort (or Wert) of R 27610 was probably the wife of Willem Haseldijn, at a time when she was married to (or the widow of) Robbert Wert. |

| Buyer | Valerus van der Hoeve schilder overt Roetert Ernst |
| Buyer Family | Hoeve, Valerus van der |
| Buyer Notes | The painter Valerius van der Hoeve was the son of Goyvart van der Hoeven and of Tanneken Moerentorffs, the sister-in-law of the painter Hans Rem (of R 27756) (Briels, Vlaamse schilders, 1997, p. 338). On April 13, 1602, Valerius van der Hoeven, painter, from Antwerp, about 30 years old, living in the Pijlsteegh, assisted by his brother, Felix, and his sister Catelyna, was betrothed to Sophia Raesvelt, from Aachen, 27, living in the Pieter Jacobsdwarsstraet. She brought the consent of her uncle Hermanus Herolts, predikant in Gouda (DTB 665/205). At least three of his children were baptized in the Lutheran Church between 1606 and 1610 (Bredius, Kunstler-inventare, p. 1038). As widower of Sophia, living in the Bloemstraet, he was again betrothed to Baeyken Hendrix, from Antwerp, 36 years old in 1619 (DTB 424/119). On 25 September 1624, Valerius van der Hoeven and Barbera de Grove (Baeyken Hendrix) passed their testament before Notary Palm Matthysz. (Bredius, ibid., p. 1039.) He apparently dealt in playing cards as well as in paintings (Briels, ibid.) He was buried, coming from the Verwersgracht, on 28 August 1645 in the N.K. 10 f. 13 st. were paid on his behalf to the church (DTB 1055/23). His widow, Baycken de Grooff died shortly before 23 November 1651 when her death inventory was taken (INVNO 336). On Roetert Ernst, see R 30157. |

| Buyer Family | Bartheltsen (Bartelsz.), Wijnant |
| Buyer Notes | The tinsmith Wijnant Bartheltsen was the son of the surgeon Barthelt Willemsz. who died in 1608 (I.van Eeghen in Maandblad Amstelodamum 55(1968), p. 163) On 2 November 1613, Wynant Barthelsen, tinnegieter (tinsmith), 23 years of age, living in the Nes, assisted by his mother Mary Wynants, was betrothed to Trijntje Stansen, 21, assisted by her father Stan Jacobsz. (DTB 667/100). Bredero wrote a poem on the occasion of the marriage (Van Eeghen, loc. cit.) On 16 August 1624, the honorable Wynant Bartelsz., tinsmith, passed his testament. He cited Jacob Wynants from his first marriage with Trijntgen Stans and Haesge Cornelis, the mother of his present wife Gooltgen Barents (NA 389, fol. 30). He had remarried with Gooltje Barents in 1624 (in de Pui). After the death of his second wife, he married Maritje Willems in 1626. In 1631, a tax of 5 f. was paid on behalf of the son of Wijnant Bartelsz. tinsmith (perhaps Jacob Wynants), one of the orphans recognized by the Orphan Chamber (Kohier, fol. 315, p. 72). |

| Buyer | Jan van Erpecum cruijdenier op de hoeck van de Soutsteechen |
| Buyer Family | Erpecum, Jan van I |
| Buyer Notes | Jan van Erpecum I, son of Guilliam van Erpecum I, was a spice merchant (cruydenier). He paid a tax of 250 f. in 1631, at which time he lived between 't water and the hoeck van Dam (Kohier, fol. 279, p. 64). On 28 June 1612, Jan van Erpecum, from Aken, living op 't water, 26, was betrothed to Lysbeth de Wolf, 23, assisted by her father Hans de Wolf, living on the Warmoesstraet (DTB 667/27). The family was Mennonite. However, Jan van Erpecum I was not baptized in the Mennonite community until the day of his death, 2 April 1637 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 75(1957), col. 62). Hans de Wolf(f), the father-in-law of Jan van Erpecum I, who died in 1614, was married to Clementia van den Vondel (1586-1641), the sister of the poet Joost van den Vondel. After the death of her husband, Clementia continued to deal in cloth (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 316). Elisabeth de Wolff was thus the niece by marriage of Vondel. Hans de Wolff's brother Willem had two daughters Maria, who married Joost van den Vondel I, and Margrieta. who married Joost van Uytenhoven (of a jonckheer family from Gent) in 1597 (Maandblad Amstelodamum 15(1928), p.35). Jan van Erpecum was the father of Guillam (Willem) van Erpecum II (1614-1669), cruydenier op 't water in het groene hart (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 403). Guilliam van Erpecum II was baptized as an adult -- he was 23 years old -- in the Remonstrant Church on 16 April 1637 (DTB 301). On 15 October 1637, Guilliaem van Erpecom (II), assisted by Elysabeth de Wolf, widow of Jan van Erpecum I, Matheus van Erpecum, and Joost van den Vondel, signed a pre-nuptial agreement with Claertgen Gerbrants Pancreas, assisted by Gerbrant Claesz. Pancreas, alderman of Amsterdam. Guilliaem brought 20,000 f. to the marriage and a house op 't Water (NA 580, fol. 709, Not. Lamberti, Extracten). Matheus van Erpicusum (sic), living on the Nieuwen Dijck, paid a tax of 150 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 281, p. 64). Tanneken (or Anneken) van Erpecum, the daughter of Jan van Erpecum I and Elisabeth de Wolff, was born on 26 October 1619 and died, unmarried, on 25 February 1655. On a silver medal commemorating her death, Joost van den Vondel wrote six lines of verse about the rose from Erpecum, praising her for having taken care of her parents in their old age (J.F.M. Sterk, Oorkonden over Vondel en zijn kring, Bussum, 1918, pp. 284-6). Rebecca de Wolff (1615-1700), the sister of Elisabeth de Wolff, married Gilbert de Flines IV (1611-1671) on 20 April 1636 (Elias, Vroedschap van Amsterdam p. 1005). Another son of Jan van Erpecum (I), Jan van Erpecum II, was born in Amsterdam in 1615/1616. He was baptized as a Mennonite on 16 May 1638. He was betrothed to Jannetje Schouten, daughter of Jan Gerritsz. Schouten (cited in the INTRO to INVNO 521), on 25 October 1637. Their son, Lodewijck van Erpecum, born in Amsterdam in 1648, was married to Elisabeth Syen, who died in 1671. On the occasion of her death, Vondel wrote a verse of commemoration. Lodewijck van Erpecum's inventory taken on 4 November 1692, contained a trony and a portrait by Rembrandt, a portrait of Vondel and one of his mother by Lievens, a portrait of his wife Elisabeht Sijen by Jan (Andreas) Lievens de jonge, and a portrait by Bamboccio (Pieter van Laer) (J.F.M. Sterk, op. cit. pp. 286-7). Finally, Jan van Erpecum (III), the son of Mattheus Erpecum, was one of the stalmeesters of the cloth guild in 1660 (Jaarboek Amstelodamum 49(1957), p.71). |

| Buyer | Willem Grevenraet |
| Buyer Family | Grevenraet, Willem (Guliaem) |
| Buyer Notes | Willem (or Guliaem) Grevenraet was the son of Jasper Grevenraet of R 20028 (Nederlandsche Leeuw 56(1936), col. 279). On 7 April 1620, Guilliam Grevenraet, 25 years of age, living on the Keysersgracht, was betrothed to Aldegonde Boonaerts, 20. She was assisted by her father Michiel Boonaerts and her mother Leonora de Vogel, and lived on the Kalverstraet (DTB 424/190). On 21 September 1627, the couple had their son Jasper baptized in the presence of Cornelis van de Venne (the brother-in-law of Jasper Grevenraet (see R 20028) (Nederlandsche Leeuw, loc. cit.) Willem Grevenraet paid a tax of 100 f. in 1631, at which he lived on the Keysersgracht (East side). He lived in the house of his father at the time (Casper's name is recorded next to his) (Kohier, fol. 302, p. 60). On 10 October 1631, Guliam Grevenraet, merchant, 37, declared at the request of Paolo (Paulus) de Prijs, likewise merchant, that Michiel Pietersz. on 5 September last had transferred 565 f. 8 st. to his name on behalf of De Prijs and that the same had been done for 600 f. by Wouter Wandelman (cited in the NOTES to R 30408) on the 6th dito (NA 371, fol. 196, Not. W. Cluyt). On 5 January 1634, William Grevenraet, merchant, 36, declared at the request of Hillebrant den Otter, lord of Vryenes (of R 28004) that he, the witness, had been given a procuration a few years ago to obtain some stampaerlen from Jan Courier (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). At some point Willem Grevenraet travelled to Surinam where he appeared as a witness in a document (Nederlandsche Leeuw, loc. cit.) On 16 June 1636, Guillame Grevenraet, who was said to be the nephew of Catharina van Axele, was present when the latter signed her wedding contract with the notary Gillis Borsselaer (NA 642, fol. 180, Not. Sybrant Cornelisz.) On 1 December 1639, Paolo de Pris declared at the request of Pieter de Latfeur (of R 20047) that a letter written by Jan van Noorden who had gone to the East Indies was authentic (NA 1276, liasse 2, act 3, Not. P. Barcman). |
