| Buyer | Casper Grevenraet |
| Buyer Family | Grevenraet, Casper (Jasper) |
| Buyer Notes | Casper (or Jasper) Grevenraet may have been born in Antwerp, ca. 1570, where he still lived in 1583. On 24 October 1595, Jasper Grevenraet, living in Amsterdam, declared that, in the previous month of September, he had constituted himself surety for Hendrick Stoop in connection with a debt that Stoop owed to Jan Gras of R 27064 (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel, R.G.P. 178(1981), p. 62). On 26 April 1602, Jasper Grevenraet was betrothed to Paulijntge Korsen (Christiaens, Corstens), from Haarlem (DTB 665/21). He invested 9,000 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares in 1602 (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p.239). In 1606, Jasper Grevenraet bought lots in the Haarlem lottery for 8 f. 2 st. (GAA, 132/2 F 961). In 1608, he signed a petition with a number of other Amsterdam merchants requesting the revocation of the prohibition of cashiers to effect money transactions (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken, R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 16.) On 2 July 1612, he was insinuated, along with some prominent merchants, by the ordinary wine dealers concerning the role of the wine distributors (wijnverlaters) in the wine trade (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven, R.G.P. 69(1929), p. 712). In September 1615, he freighted a ship to Koenigsberg (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel, 185(1983), p. 397). In 1617, he landed in payment difficulties but was able to avert bankruptcy by coming to an agreement with his creditors (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 231). Nevertheless, on 10 August 1619, Jan Cock (cited in R 40721), 43, declared at the request of Anna Vlamminghs, spinster, that, after the faillissement of Jasper Grevenraet, he (Cock) had spoken to him (Grevenraet) about the debt he (Grevenraet) owed her (NA 200, film 111, Not. J.F. Bruyning). Jasper Grevenraet's uncle, who assisted him on the occasion of his betrothal, was the very rich merchant and collector Jasper Quinguet (or Guingetti) of INVNO 545 (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 239). Grevenraet's daughter Jannetjen was 19 years old when she was betrothed to Cornelis van der Venne de jonge on 29 April 1626 (Oud Holland 4(1886), p. 218). Casper Grevenraet, living on the Keysersgracht, paid a tax of 90 f. in 1631 (Kohier fol. 202vo, p.69). On 21 February 1632, Jasper Grevenraet drew up a procuration to collect money in Hamburg (NA 372, Not. W. Cluyt). On 18 December 1633, Guilliame Grevenraet, in the name of Juffr. Paulina Cristiaens, widow and custodian of the estate of Casper Grevenraet, sold Dirck Alewijn (cited in R 25447) a compact piece of 20 morgen of land (NA 843, fol. 514, Not. Hoogeboom); see also Nederlandsche Leeuw 56(1936), col. 279). On 5 November 1638, Paulijntje Grevenraet, widow of Kasper Grevenraet, was buried (DTB 1045/110). Beside the children already mentioned, Jasper also fathered Elisabeth Grevenraet (baptized on 16 May 1610). On 14 July 1633, Balthasar van Dortmont (counsellor in Brasil), assisted by his brother Melchior van Dortmont II (the son of Melchior van Dortmont I of R 23376) and his cousin Cornelis Bartels, on one side, and Elisabeth Grevenraets, assisted by Pauline Christiaens, widow of Jasper Grevenraet, and sr. Guillame Grevenraet, her brother, Cornelis van de Venne, her brother-in-law, and Christoffel van Houe, her cousin, on the other, signed a marriage contract (NA 372, fol. 115, Not. W. Cluyt). |

| Buyer | Abraham van der Sluijs inde Vogels dwarsstraet [crossed out: Pieter de Coningh] |
| Buyer Family | Sluijs, Abraham van der [Versluijs] |
| Buyer Notes | On 8 May 1604, Abraham de Sluijs, 29, vinegar maker, was betrothed to Mayken de Vos, 20 (DTB 665/354). On 8 November 1628, Lyntgen Jans de Vos was assisted by her brother-in-law Abraham de Sluijs (the brother of her sister Mayken) when she presented her three children, procreated by the late Ysbrant Jacobsz., mason, to the Orphan Chamber (WK 5073/789). It is not certain that Abraham de Sluijs, married to Mayken de Vos, is identical with the silk dealer and broker Abraham Versluijs. In any case, it was probably our buyer, named here Abraham van der Sluijs, who was renting a house, inherited by Baertge Bartholomeusdr. (of R 20029), the daughter of the mapmaker Bartholomeus Floris (of INVNO 764) for 100 f. per half year in 1621 (WK 5073/1191). He paid a tax of 10 f. in 1631, living on the N.Z. Ooster Voorburchwal (Kohier 273vo, p. 62). On 30 March 1627, Abraham van der Sluijs had his notary notify Philips Sweerts, silk spinner, that he had not met the conditions of the contract that they had signed on 20 March whereby Van der Sluijs would deliver pypen syde to Sweerts and Sweerts would deliver werck syde to Van der Sluijs. Sweerts answered that he would do his best to meet the conditions (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1933), p. 624). On Philips Sweerts, silk spinner, see the NOTES to R 25116, 26234, and 28217. On 14 February 1636, Abraham van der Sluijs, sworn broker, declared himself surety for his cousin Marten Davidts on behalf of Jacob Venturijn, silk spinner (NA 521, film 6505, Not. Westfrisius). On 31 December 1636, Jacob Abrahamsz. Halmael, son of Abraham Halmael of R 29018) and Jacob Luijcasz. Cock of Zwolle (probably a close relative of Lucas Lambertss Cock of INVNO 210) contracted as follows: Jacob Cock would buy a bale of linen for 1,000 f. and a lot of tulip bulbs planted in the garden of Abraham van der Sluijs and Cornelis Marcusz. (of R 20542). The value of the bulbs was also 1,000 f. (NA 918, fol. 554vo, Not. B. Verbeeck, information kindly communicated by Anna Goldgar). On 28 January 1637, Bartholomeus van Gennip, living in Haarlem, insinuated Abraham van der Sluijs regarding some tulips, valued in total 3,241 f. Van der Sluijs had given van Gennip an option whether to buy the tulips or not. That evening, in the presence of Anthony de Man (resident in Delft, who was also involved in the tulip trade), Jan de Haes (a wine dealer and buyer of tulips cited in the NOTES to R 26078) and Michiel Kistiens (Kistgens) of R 24904, Van Gennip had said no. But he now demanded that Versluijs abide by the agreement. Versluijs responded that he had not made a final sale at the prices specified (Posthumus in Economisch-historisch jaarboek 13(1927), pp. 40-1). Note that, in January 1637, the prices of tulip bulbs were about to reach their peak but had not yet done so (which may explain Van Gennip's hesitancy). On 31 October 1639, Glaude de Graest(?), merchant, 40, and Willem Hendricksz., pipemaker, 41, appeared at the request of Abraham Anthonisz. (of R 20033) and declared that they had heard several times from Abraham van der Sluijs that he had leased a certain court (erff), located in the Lijnsbaangracht, connected (respondende) to the garden of Van der Sluijs for 6 years, starting last May, for 28 f. a year (NA 2627, fol. 249vo, Not. Steeman). |

| Buyer | Abraham Anthonisz. |
| Buyer Family | Anthonisz., Abraham (Recht) |
| Buyer Notes | Abraham Anthonisz. was the son of Gerard Anthonisz. (I)(died in 1614) and of Maycken Huberts (died in 1615), who came from Antwerp and settled in Amsterdam shortly before 1592. Abraham's sister Sara married the surgeon Jan Jansz. Muyser (Muijsser), who bought fabrics at an Orphan Chamber sale on 8 January 1625 (WK 5073/960). His brother, the shoemaker Gerrit Anthonisz. (II) (1601-1630), married Soetje Lievens in 1622. Abraham Anthonisz., candlemaker, dealer in fats, broker, and attorney, was born in 1588. Already in 1606, when he was beteween 18 and 20 years old, he served as collector for the Haarlem lottery (on the Oude Zijde of Amsterdam). He is apparently not identical with Abraham Anthonisz., sugar refiner, the brother of Jannetge Anthonis, cited in a deposition of 21 November 1613, who, due to his insolvency, pledged all his goods, including his warehouse and sugar refinery, to Rogier van der Hulst , his good friend, and to his sister Jannetge (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven, R.G.P. 78(1933), p. 69). The sugar refiner Abraham Anthonisz., born about 1586, still active in 1617 (van Dillen, op.cit. p. 233) died in 1633, whereas the buyer of this name lived until 1667. He was the cousin of David Pietersz. (ibid.) Abraham Gerard Anthoniszsz. married Baefje Willems (1589-1662) on 5 January 1614 in the Oude Kerk. Baefje Willems was a niece of the wife of the well-known Remonstrant Rem Egberstsz. Bisschop (whose house was plundered in 1617). He himself became a Remonstrant ca. 1615. On 18 July 1618, he signed a petition of dealers in fats (vettervariers) with 26 other colleagues (NA 377, film 6409). Abraham Anthonisz., living around the corner of the Heeregracht, paid a tax of 80 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 65, p. 16). This address (Heeregracht, corner of Warmoesgracht) is confirmed by S. Dudok van Heel (De remonstrantse wereld van Rembrandts opdrachtgever Abraham Anthonisz. Recht, Bulletin van het Rijksmuseum 42(1994), p. 336. See also Dudok van Heel, Abraham Anthonisz. Recht (1588-1664, een opdrachtgever van Rembrandt, Maandblad Amstelodamum 65(1978), pp. 81-89). Abraham Anthonisz. frequently appears in WK documents as the guardian of orphan children named by the Orphan Chamber from 1615 to the 1630s. On 25 March 1615 he was appointed guardian, qua brother of the children of minor age, over the minor children of his father Gerrit Anthonisz.(I), dealer in fats, along with his uncle Hans Anthonisz., the brother of his late father (WK 5073/513, fol. 149). This was one of many of Abraham Anthonisz.'s appointments as guardian, either chosen by the widow or imposed by the Chamber, that he took on. On 22 January 1622, for instance, he was the (freely chosen?) guardian of Bretgen Jans, whose late husband was Claes Jacobsz. Haarlemmer, a barge conductor (veerschuytvoerder) (WK 5073/789). A month later, on 24 February, he was appointed ordered guardian with his adjoint Mr. Anthony Jansz. (probably a close relative) over the goods belonging to Simon Simonsz. waachdrager (employee of the weighing station on the Dam) (WK 5073/789). Anthony Jansz. was a surgeon who died before 10 April 1630. In 1623, Abraham Anthonisz. was apprehended for displaying a bust of Oudebarnevelt in the front of his house. On 10 December 1627, Jan Antonisz., 58, and Abraham Antonisz., 41, both citizens of Amsterdam, declared that Jan Antonisz. de jonge, the son of Jan Antonisz. de oude (cited above), had shared to his contentment in the inheritage from his mother Digna Cornelis. Jan Antonisz. de oude was the famous Jan Theunis from Alkmaar, who taught Hebrew and Greek, published Arabic texts, and for years ran the inn De Meniste Bruyloft as a sort of music house. He is not related, as far as is known, with Abraham Anthonisz. (Jaarboek Amstelodamum 25(1927), p. 123). Abraham Anthonisz. signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. In 1633, Rembrandt painted the portrait of the Remonstrant predicant Johan Wtenbogaert for Abraham Anthonisz. In later years, Abraham Anthonijsz. assumed the family name Recht. He may have suffered financial reverses in 1634 when various Amsterdam citizens made a declaration that he and Hendrick Hamel were people of good reputation and credit and that Abraham Anthonisz. owned several houses in Amsterdam (for details see the TEXT of R 408 of Montias1). On 21 September 1634, Geesje Willems, 28, servant of Hendrick Roesen, broker (and linen packer) declared at the request of Abraham Anthonisz that the day after Abraham Anthonisz. had been appointed curator over the goods of Hendrick Roesen, she had seen various paintings, porcelain dishes, silver objects, and clothing taken out of the house by Roesen's wife. She had heard the latter say that she needed to remove these goods in order to make money to save herself and her husband. Roesen was apparently insolvent (NA 843, fol. 690, Not. Hoogeboom). On 22 July 1636, Abraham Anthonisz. was said to be attorney before the lords of the Admiralty (NA 1418, fol. 18). On 12 December 1636, Frans Wolphertsz. van den Berch, 69, Rombout Kemp, 39, and Abraham Anthonisz., 50, made a long deposition at the request of Magdalena Stockmans (cited in the NOTES to R 32595). Rombout Kemp was a sergeant in the militia portrayed by Rembrandt in the Nightwatch. The deponents declared that they had gone, at the request of Laurens Petken, at the house of Abraham Anthonisz. concerning some debts owed by Stockmans, which she was apparently about to settle. They fell into conversation with Jan Andriesz. Meerbeeck concerning the conditions that had been set in a transaction with two English merchants of woolen cloth. Meerbeeck had apparently not divulged these conditions to Magdalena Stockmans (NA 843, fol. 1409-1410). Jan Andriesz. Meerbeck was a wool merchant, at one time active in Hamburg, cited in the TEXT of R 102 and R 402 of Montias1 and in the NOTES to R 36738 of Montias2. In a document of March 1637 (exact date unknown due to fire damage of the document), Abraham Anthonissen, attorney, was given a procuration by Ernst van Reede, heer van Vryes, to collect money from the heirs of Dirck Hem (NA 948, film 1171, Not Benedict Baddel). The heirs of Dirck Dircksz. Hem, who died more or less insolvent (the heirs were allowed to draw up an inventory of his goods under benefit of inventory), were Niclaes Hem, the brother of Dirck Dircksz., together with Yda Hem and Geetruyt Hem (the wife of Daniel Martens, the son of Hans Martensz. of R 28860), children of the late Dirck Hem (NA 773, Not. Verhey, act dated 19 December 1636). On 9 February 1635, Bartholemeus Camoye, 35, and Nicolaes Hem, 38, made a deposition. Camoye stated that he had spent three years in Persia and had observed that money deposited at interest there earned 2 percent a month or 24 percent a year, payable twice yearly (NA 695A, film 4981, Not. J. Warnaerts). After the death of Abraham Anthonisz. in 1664, an inventory was taken of his possessions (INVNO 1031). Gerrit Anthonisz. II (named after his grandfather) was the son of Abraham Anthonisz. (act of 13 October 1632, fol. 355, Not. Hoogeboom), |

| Buyer | Anthony Slichers |
| Buyer Family | Slichers (Slicher, Schleicher), Anthony (de oude) |
| Buyer Notes | The family, which came from Aachen, was originally called Schleicher but changed the name to Slicher after it arrived in Amsterdam (by reason of religion) in 1598. At this time Schleicher/Slicher was 40 years old. In 1611, he was appointed deacon of Amsterdam's Reformed (Calvinist) Community. He married for the second time in 1599 with Johanna de Wolf (1576-1650) in Haarlem. His wife was the daughter of Flemish immigrants from Roesselaert. As early as 1603, he had his portrait painted by an anonymous artist (R. Ekkart, A portrait historie with Venus, Paris and Cupid ... Simiolus 29(2002), pp. 18-19). He invested 3,600 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p.27). In 1608, Antonio Schleicher, together with a number of other Amsterdam merchants, signed a petition to the burgomasters of Amsterdam requesting the revocation of the prohibition on the use of cashiers to effect money transfers (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken, R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 16). He was the owner of several copper mills outside the St. Anthonys Poort. On 6 December 1616, Antonij Slijchgers and Janneken de Wolf had their child Leonaert baptized in the presence of Aeff Hermans. Another son, born in Aachen some time earlier, named Anthony (de jonge), who became an ebony worker, was betrothed to IJtje Walchuysen on 20 August 1639 (DTB 452/36). Still another son, named Jan (1603-1625), married Elisabeth de Vlaming van Oudtshoorn of a patrician family. Twenty-two years after her husband's death, Elisabeth remarried with Elbert Spiegel, receiver-general of the Amsterdam admiralty (Ekkart, p.20). Anthony Slichers died in Amsterdam in September 1623. His widow, living on the Singel in 1631, paid a tax of 260 f. (together with her children) (Kohier fol. 11vo, p.4). When she died in 1650, she left assets evaluated at 77,150 f. When Anthony Slicher bought pewter plates at the Jacques Rombouts sale (INVNO 727), he was said to be living on the corner of the Koestraet. On 11 October 1619, Anthony Slicher, 62, Claes Bas (probably Jacobsz.), 55, Cornelis van der Voorde, 53, Guillame van de Putte, 51 (the father of Isaack van de Putte of R 24397). Isaack Poulles, 47, Gillis Dodeur (of R 29979), Charles Latfeur (of R 20471), Paulus Pelgrims (cited in the NOTES to R 21249), Jacques Lhermitte, 37, and Loijs de Geer (cited in the NOTES to R 20783), 30, all merchants, declared at the request of Cornelis van den Bogaerde, merchant in Amsterdam, that they had known the requirant from his birth on and that he had a good name and reputation (NA 200, film 111). Cornelis van den Bogaerde was an important competitor of Louis de Geer in the armaments trade with Germany (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 220). Jacques Lhermitte, cited in the above document, was Jacques Lhermitte de jonge, son of Jacques Lhermitte de oude, born in Antwerp, who was betrothed to Theodora van Wely, from Wijck ter Duurstede, 25, assisted by her mother Geertruyd van Bylaer and her brother Jan van Wely (II) on 2 March 1618 (De Navorscher 8(1858), p. 318). Sara Slicher(s) (cited above), born in Amsterdam, was 24 years old, when, assisted by her mother Jannetje (Johanna) de Wolff, living on the Coningsgracht, she was betrothed on 14 February 1636 to Jacob de Baudoes, from Amsterdam, 27, assisted by Robbert de Baudoes (of R 28053), living op 't Nieuwlant (Oud Holland 3(1885), p. 61). The year before, on 17 April 1635, two witnesses had testified at the request of Jacob de Baudoes that he, De Baudoes, had gone to the house of Maria Mostaert, widow of Abraham Danckertsz. (see the NOTES to R 25668), and had gone to the shop to pack some goods for Stockholm. After the goods had been packed, she (Maria Mostaert) had promised she would send him a list of the goods that had been packed (NA 695A, film 4981, Not. J. Warnaerts). Between 1642 and 1696, Jacob, Gerrit, Sara, Elisabeth, Johanna, and Anthony Badoes (Baudoes) were buried in the grave of Anthony Slicher in de Zuiderkerck (Obreen, Archief voor de Nederlandsche kunstgeschiedenis 3(1881-2), p.222. |

| Buyer | Ernst Roetersz. |
| Buyer Family | Roetersz., Ernst |
| Buyer Notes | On 29 May 1609, Ernst Roetersz., 27, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal, assisted by his father Roetert Ernst (of R 30157), was betrothed to Geertruyt van Marckell, assisted by her parents Hendrick van Marckel and Gertruy van Elst (DTB 414/74). Ernst Roeters, 1581-1648, was a Regent of the Leprozenhuis. It was in this capacity as aalmoezenier (provisioner for the poor) that he signed a petition on the collection of a levy on grain to benefit the poor in 1627 (Maandblad Amstelodamum 74(1987), p. 87). He was also a kassier in de Wisselbank. He lived in 1609 on O.Z. Voorburgwal and died on the Keizersgracht (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 367). As a (grain ?) merchant, he freighted two ships between 1614 and 1616 and three ships between 1617 and 1625 (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P., 185(1983), p. 630, vol. 186, p. 780). In 1631, he paid a tax of 325 f., at which time he was one of Amsterdam's aldermen (Kohier, fol. 2, p. 2). His son, Roetert Ernst II, 1616-1685, studied law. In the Kohier of 1674, he was taxed on the basis of a fortune of 126,000 f. He collected naturalia, paintings, and drawings. His collection, sold at auction in 1685, brought 4,586 f., not including items sold directly. Another son, named Jan Roeters (1614-1667), married Susanna Gommers (the daughter of Hans Gommers and of Anna Gessing), 1636-1655, in 1653. He too was a collector of naturalia and of paintings (J. van der Veen, Wereld binnen handbereik, 1992, p. 318 and 327.) |

| Buyer | Cornelis Snelling |
| Buyer Family | Snelling (Snellinck), Cornelis |
| Buyer Notes | Cornelis Snellingh was a merchant born in Antwerp who was first noted in Amsterdam in 1603. For ten years, around the turn of the century, he traded in precious stones for Hans Thijsz. de oude (of INVNO 690). He was connected by links of marriage and business with members of the Portuguese community (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, pp. 170 and 314). In 1608, Cornelis Snellinck joined a number of Amsterdam merchants in a petition to the burgomasterss of Amsterdam requesting the revocation of a prohibition on the use of cashiers to effect money transfers. He may have been related to Antonio van Zurick of the present inventory, next to whose name he signed the petition (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 16). He paid a tax of 200 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the West side Voorburchwal (Kohier, fol. 35, p. 9). On 1 June 1645, a daughter of Cornelis Snelling was buried in the O.K. (DTB 1046/41). |

| Buyer | Pieter de Latfeur |
| Buyer Family | Latfeur, Pieter de |
| Buyer Notes | Pieter de Latfeur was the son of Jean de Latfeur and Catherina Sohier. The sister of Catherina Sohier, named Maria, was married to Everard Becker, a director of the V.O.C. Kamer in Middelburgh, who had numerous ties with the family of Hans Thijsz. of INVNO 690. He was only about 20 years old when, in 1608, he freighted the ship Die Roede Moelen with Lambert Massa (of R 32152). According to members of the crew, the merchants on this ship, sailing to Moscovy, were drunk during most of the trip (Wijnroks, De handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden, 1560-1640, p. 293). On 18 March 1616, Pieter de Latfeur, from Cologne, living on the Betanienstraet, 28 years of age, was betrothed to Clara Coijmans, also from Cologne, assisted by Casper Coijmans, her father, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal (DTB 420/112). Clara Coijmans's sister Cornelia married Abraham de Visscher de oude in 1599 (R 37010) (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 246). He remarried after the death of Clara Coijmans (before 1635) with Catharina Goris, the daughter of Herman Goris de oude and his second wife Gertruijd van Kempen Hendricx. Herman Goris, like Pieter de Latfeur, signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. On 17 May 1635, Pieter de Latfeur and Catharina Goris baptized their daughter Antonetta in the Remonstrant Church (DTB 301). He was the brother of Charles de Latfeur of R 20471 and represented the interests of the Latfeur, van der Meulen, and Malapert families in Spain (Luuc Coijmans, Vriendschap, p. 348). On 11 April 1636, the merchant Pieter Latfeur, together with 30 other merchants, testified to the credit-worthiness of Adriaen van Ackerlaeck (NA 695A, film 4821). His daughter Maria, from his second marriage with Catharina Goris, born in Amsterdam about 1642, married Joannes Bert, born in Amsterdam in 1634, widower of Anna Verbruggen (Nederlandsche Leeuw 56(1938), col. 168). |
