| Buyer | Jeuriaen Boeckhaert by de Moor op't Clocken |
| Buyer Family | Boeckhaert (Boeckholt?), Jeuriaen |
| Buyer Notes | It is not certain that Jeuriaen Boeckhaert and Boeckholt are identical, in view of the fact that three months after this sale, Jeuriaen Boeckholt was said to be living outside Elburgh (see below). However, he may have been on a visit to Amsterdam when the sale took place at the beginning of June. On 27 November 1610, Jurriaen Boeckholt (signs Bock Holth), from Bremen, Bergenvarder (shipper to Bergen in Norway), 23 years old, living on the N.Z. Daem, was betrothed to Grietje Beslieck, assisted by her stepfather Hans [...] and her mother Elsien Barents (DTB 666/256). On 6 September 1610, Elsgen Barents was said to be the widow of Jan Kockel (NOTES of R 32469). If this is the same individual, Boeckholt's father-in-law may have been Hans Kockel (not identical with Jan de Koockel (or Koocker) of INVNO 506). On 7 September 1635, the honorable Dirck Barckman (of R 25079), apothecary, named Harmen van Ems, living in Elburgh, to collect money from Juriaen Boeckholt, fuller, living outside Elburg, which debt arose from profits made on a vulmolen (probably a mill for making felt) that they owned together (NA 1184, fol. 134, Not. J. de Vos). |

| Buyer | Michiel Kitskes |
| Buyer Family | Kitskes (Kitsgens), Michiel |
| Buyer Notes | On 20 October 1623, Michiel Kitsgen, from Neuremburg, 21, was betrothed to Claartje Mol, assisted by her mother Haesge Moll (DTB 669/202). In 1625, when Michiel Kitsgen bought a lot at a W.K. auction (R 32494), he was living in de Sandloper in the Warmoesstraet. In 1631, he paid a tax of 25 f. for the inheritance from Matthijs Kisgens, with an address in the Warmoesstraet; he paid a tax of 30 f., living in the N.Z. Voorburchwal (Kohier, fol. 128, p. 30 and fol. 287, p. 166). Matthijs Kisgens (or Kistkens) I, who was probably Michiel's father, was an Anabaptist who was in relation with Jasper Vinckel (de oude ?) of R 20783 (Nederlandsche Leeuw, 1932, p. 142.) On 17 July 1618, Harmen Jansz. de la Meijne, from Luik, declared that he had sent to and deposited with Mathijs Kitskens 141 paintings, large and small, by different masters, for which administration Kitskens was responsible (GAA, NA 153, Not. J.F. Bruyningh, extracten). On 27 June 1630, Michiel Kitkens, merchant, and Willem Jansz. Coeckebacker brought to the Orphan Chamber 400 f. on behalf of the two children left by Dirck Jarmsz., kaerdemacker (WK 5073/789). On 7 November 1630, Michiel Kitsgens, merchant, gave a procuration to the merchant Jan Albertsz. to collect money due to him in Venlo (NA 842, Not. Hoogeboom). On 29 July 1632, Michiel Kitskens, merchant, appeared before the Orphan Chamber and declared that his son Matys, 8, whose mother was Claertgen Mol, was entitled to 3,000 f. for his mother's inheritance (WK 5073/789). He apparently remarried shortly after this with Maria van der Veen. On 30 January 1634, Symon Pietersz., hose dealer, and Willem de Haen, boratwercker, declared at the request of Michiel Kitsgens that he, Kitsgens, had bought a house from his swager Jan de Haes on the Gelderskaij, where the Cananijspijs hangs, on the same conditions as De Haes had bought it at execution (forced sale) the previous year, namely for 12,025 f. (NA 694B, film 4980, Not. J. Warnaerts). On 19 December 1634, Michiel Kistgens, on behalf of his wife Maria van der Veen, formerly married to Govert Cornelisz. Voorde, for one half, and Jacob Hasbaert and Jasper van Tongerloo (cited in NOTES to R 24428), for the children left by the afore-said Govert Cornelisz. procreated by the afore-said Maria van der Veen, for the other half, named Jan Haeck (cited in the NOTES to R 36758), wine dealer, to represent them to obtain 87 Flemish pounds from Hendrick Coop owed to the constituants (NA 595, fol. 402, Not. Lamberti). Hendrick Coop(s) was a painter who, in 1657, was appointed zieckentrooster in the pesthuis (Obreen, Archief, 5(1882-1883), p. 12). On 24 June 1637, Michiel Kitsgens, 36, and Hendrick Hommesz. 42, made a deposition at the request of Isaack van Gerven (of INVNO 237). Kistgens stated that he had gone to Abkou (Abcoude) with a certain Jan Aertsz. to try to bring Aertsz. and the petitioner (van Gerven) to an agreement in a dispute they had which had led to a suit that was hanging before the court in Utrecht regarding some land in Abkou (NA 598, film 4941). Hendrick Hommesz., Herman Hommesz., and Barent Hommesz. (born about 1603) were the sons of the ironmonger Homme Stevensz. who died before 7 January 1620 (WK 5073/789). Hendrick Hommessen became bankrupt shortly before 24 May 1664 when his inventory was taken in the Desolate Boedelskamer (DBK 5072/502 (new)). Michiel Kitsgens's son, Matthijs Kitsgens II, was said to be be 23 in 1647 (thus, born in 1624, consistent with his mention above). He was a dyer of carmosijn (silk) cloth in 1647, living buyten de Heyligewegspoort. He owned the house de Draeck in the Warmoesstraet, which was rented in the 1640s by the poet Joost van den Vondel (Maandblad Amstelodamum 61(1974), p. 106). |

| Buyer | Daniel Couvreur |
| Buyer Family | Couvreur, Daniel |
| Buyer Notes | On 10 November 1619, Daniel Couvreu (sic) and Valentien Juda had their son Jacob baptized in the N.K. (DTB 130/93). On 2 October 1620, Daniel Couvreur and Valentine Iuda had their daughter Marije baptized in the Walskerck. The witnesses were Fabrice de la Bascourt and Susanna Gijnt Neij (DTB 130/ 106). On 14 April 1628, Daniel Couvreur, broker (maeckelaer), appeared before the Orphan Chamber and declared that his children, Susanna, 12, Daniel, 9, Jan 7, and Rebecca, 4, whose late mother was Valentina Juda, were entitled to 8,000 f. for their mother's inheritance (WK 5073/789). The next day, he remarried with Marie Mazuur (she signs Masur), on which occasion he was said to be from Amsterdam (DTB 433/28). In 1631, Daniel Coevreur paid a tax of 5 f., at which time he lived on the East side of the Princesgracht (Kohier, fol. 98, p. 23). In March 1636, Daniel Couvreur participated in an insurance pool to insure a ship, along with Joachem Vickevoort (of R 18947), Dirck van (der) Perre, Andries Pels, Jacob Codde (of R 8318), Daniel van Gheel (probably III), Jan van Gheel, Jan Steur, Roelof Codde (of R 7591), Hans Schepel, Melchior van Hoorn (of R 20007), David Born, and Jeronimus de Haze (probably II of R 29604) (NA 948, film 1171, Notary Benedict Baddel). Dirck van (der) Perre (the son of Balthasar van de Perre of R 8218) and Andries Pels were merchants of South Netherlandish origin (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 310). Jan Steur was a merchant who was said to be 38 years old in a deposition dated 15 June 1633 (NA 604B, Not. J. Warnaerts). David Born, probably of R 26691, was involved in another insurance pool with Roeloff Codde of R 7591. Hans Seijpel (Schepel) was a merchant who was said to be 39 years old on 19 April 1640 (NA 1601, fol. 37, Not. W. Hasen). Daniel Couvreur was buried in the W.K. on 13 March 1640 (DTB 1100A/37). |

| Buyer | Abraham de Goyer bij de Regulierspoort |
| Buyer Family | Goyer (Goijer), Abraham de |
| Buyer Notes | On 17 February 1601, Abraham de Goyer, from Eulenborgh, 21 years old, living in the St. Oloffspoort, was betrothed to Trijntje Barents, 24, assisted by Barent Jansz. and Weijntgen Heyndricks, her parents (DTB 409/336). Barent Jansz. may be identical with Barent Jansz., dealer in porceleijn, of R 7661. Their son Huijch (Hugo) de Goyer, baptized on 16 March 1603 (DTB 4/61), became a surgeon (prenuptial contract, 28 October 1627, WK 5073/989, fol. 267 vo.). The brother of Abraham de Goyer, also named Hugo, was married to Jannetge van Westrenen. He died before 4 September 1625 when his widow appeared before the Orphan Chamber with her son, also named Hugo (WK 5073/789). Johannes van Westrenen, who was 28 years old when he made a deposition concerning the sale of tulip bulbs to Joost van Cuyck in the inn de Menniste Bruyloft, may have been Weintge van Westrenen's brother (Posthumus, Economisch-Historisch Jaarboek 18(1934), p. 235). He is probably identical with Jan van Westrenen, medestander van den impost van de wijnen (co-collector of the excise tax on wine), whose death iventory was taken on 1 June 1644 (NA 414, film 1382). On 30 June 1607, certain goods were sold by the Orphan Chamber left by Bartge Thonis. The net proceeds were paid to Abraham de Goyer, sijde lacken cramer (retail merchant in silk goods). He was probably the guardian of her child or children (WK 5073/942). On 16 July 1621, Abraham de Goyer, silk cloth dealer, presented his four children, Huych, 17, Weyntgen, 15, Jannetje, 10, and Barent, 4, to the Orphan Chamber, whose late mother was Trijntgen Barents. The children were entitled to 3000 f. for their mother's inheritance (WK 5073/789, fo. 184vo.) It was perhaps because his first wife had died and he was still not remarried that Barbara Bonequet, the widow of Caspar Ernst, was living in his house in 1624. On 28 September he had her goods inventorized (INVNO 1198). On 4 December 1625, Abraham de Goyer remarried with Elisabet Suijens (DTB 430/340). On 5(?) July 1635, the honorable Abraham de Goyer and Lysbet Swijns, living outside the Regulierspoort, annulled their previous testaments. Lysbet, who was lying sick in bed, named her husband as universal heir. Also cited was her mother Maijcken de Hurter (NA 856, fol.87, Not. E. Rooleeu). In 1618, Abraham de Goyer acknowledged a debt of 114 Flemish pounds to Jan van Gansepoel (INVNO 616) for cloth delivered (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven 78(1933), p. 296). In 1631, he paid a tax of 15 f., at which time he lived, as he did at the time of his purchase at this sale, on the Regulierspoort, bij 't Walepat (Kohier, fol. 319, p. 73). On 11 March 1611, Abraham de Goijer, 50, and Gerreijt Jansz. van Loon, 30, declared at the request of Dirck Hendricksz. Deventerwaagh that they were onderhandelaars (subcontractors) in the sale of the garden of Poucent Jungst to Trijntgen Jans. Jan Claesz. Doodt declared that certain hyacinths and narcissi were not included in the sale (NA 518, fol. 52vo, Not. J. Westfrisius, Extracten). Jan Claesz. Doodt was a beer distributor (bierbeschoyer) in 't Dubbelde Ancker (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 78(1933). p. 49). On 12 May 1638, Jan Claesz. Doodt, 62, and Pieter Laurensz. (Spiegel, probably de jonge), 41, were said to be co-freighters of a ship (NA 1498). At a sale of porceleijn held by the Orphan Chamber on 11 October 1626, Dirck Hendricksz. Deventerweech bought some lots. When the painter Paulus Hennekijn, 25 years old, was betrothed on 4 December 1636, to Cornelia de Swart, from Amsterdam, 24, he was assisted by his guardian Abraham de Goyer (Oud Holland, 3(1885), p. 149.) On 3 July 1640, the honorable Paulus Hennekyne, painter, 26, and juffr. Cornelia de Swart, his wife, and Anneken Fransdr., wife of Jan Claesz., 35, declared at the request of Barent Jansz. (cited above) that Anneken Gerrits, who was presently in jail, had not seen a ring on the hand of Annetje Frans. Anneken Gerrits should have given back the ring (NA 1601, fol. 69, Not. W. Hasen). Paulus Hennekijn may have been of English origin. On 10 January 1658, he settled an account with the deacons of the English church in Amsterdam. He had lived in one of the church's houses but had not paid any rent. He promised to pay 548 f. His brother-in-law Jan de Swart guaranteed the debt (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 1107). According to the poet Gerret Koch, in his poem Op het wonderlijck jaer der bloemisten anno 1637, Abraham de Goyer was een grote bloemist die een seer groot bloemhof hadde buyten de Regulierspoort aen de Cingel. He had sold 20,000 f. of tulips in a single year. He had invested half of the proceeds to buy a fine hofstede in Maarssen and half to buy more tulips (I. van Eeghen, Een oude band met gedichte van tulpen Maandblad Amstelodamum, 53 (1966), p. 64). In an insinuatie made at the request of Abraham de Goyer on 10 June 1637, addressed to Abraham Wachtendonck, hose dealer (kousenverkoper), de Goyer claimed that he had sold some expensive tulip bulbs to Wachtendonck for a total of 950 f. De Goyer said that, in case of Wachtendonck's refusal to pay, he would sell the bulbs to other buyers (NA 919, fol. 190vo., Not. B. Verbeeck). On 11 June 1637, Abraham de Goyer lodged a notarial complaint (insinuatie) against Liebert van Axcel claiming that he had sold to Van Axcel his harvest of tulip bulbs, all in the condition as they were found in the ground in 1637, for 1100 f. If Van Axcel does not pay, De Goyer will sell the bulbs to other buyers and hold van Axcel responsible for any shortfall (mindere opbrengst) (NA 919, fol. 191, Not. J. Verbeeck, Extracten). The merchant Libert or Liberten van Axcel was said to be 45 years old in a deposition of 3 May 1635 when he declared that he had delivered some mirror glass to (the late) Paul van Gansepoel who in turn had sold it to Daniel van Horenbeeck, cited in R 26867 (NA 695A, film 4981, deposition of Maria de Renialme, widow of Paul van Gansepoel I). As early as 1621, Libert van Axcel (Axele) had been insolvent. According to Balthasar Coymans (cited in R 32457 and elsewhere), Van Axcel's bankruptcy had been coarse and great. His creditors (Coymans), Dirck Honckelboer (II), Marten Papenbroeck (cited in the Notes to R 27635), Carel Looten (the father of Jan Looten of INVNO 286), and Cornelis van de Bogaerd (cited in the NOTES to R 20039) had little hope that they would ever see their money again (Roodenburg, Onder het censuur, p. 380). Dirck Honckelboer II was the son of Dirck Honckelboer I (de oude) and of Sara Bisschop (Wijnroks, Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden 1560-1640, p.268). On Libert van Axcel, see also the NOTES to R 32668. On 12 June 1637, the notary J. Verbeeck declared at De Goyer's request that he had seen certain tulip bulbs with offsets taken out of the earth in De Goyer's garden near the fortifications in the Walenpadt (Purper en Widt van Quackel, Bruyne Purper, De Beste Juri, Laten Blyenbergh) (ibid. fol. 193vo and 194vo.) On the same date, the notary declared that he had gone to the garden of the E. Willem Willemsz., situated outside the Regulierspoort next to the Reguliershoff, and that he had seen a tulip bulb taken out of the earth, which De Goyer declared to be an Admirael Lieffgens and that it had one offset and no more (ibid.) Willem Willemsz., horticulturist (hovenier), who indeed lived in the Regulierspoort in 't Reguliers hooft, paid a tax of 10 f. in 1631. He lived close to the Waelpadt where Abraham de Goyer had some land on which he paid a tax of 15 f. (Kohier, fol. 318 and 319, p. 73). De Goyer was buried on 17 March 1653 in the Z.K. (DTB 1091/21). His death inventory was drawn up the very next day. It contained a portrait by Rembrandt (INVNO 961, NA 968, Not. Benedict Baddel). According to Strauss (Rembrandt Documents, p. 302), De Goyer's son Barent, born about 1617, was a painter. |

| Buyer Family | Trip, Hendrick |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer, Hendrick Trip, born in Dordrecht in 1607, died in Amsterdam in 1666, was a rich merchant who did business in a company with his brothers Jacob and Louys, in armaments, cannons, bullets and other war munitions. On 31 March 1633, Heyndrick Trip, from Dordrecht, 28 years old, assisted by his uncle Elias Trip, was betrothed to Cecilia Godijn, from Amsterdam, 22, assisted by her father Samuel Godijn, living on the Keysersgracht (DTB 440/216). The inventory of Samuel Godijn, living on the East side of the Keizersgracht, was taken on 24-29 November 1633 (NA 694B, omslag 59, Not. J. Warnaerts and INVNO 1123). After Cecilia's death in 1637, Hendrick Trip remarried with Anna Anselmo II (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 549). On 10 November 1637, the honorable Jacob Trip, 37, and Hendrick Trip, 30, both merchants, made a deposition at the request of Jorgen Garden junior concerning a quantity in excess of 1000 armors that had been shipped from Dantzig for Hendrick Trip (NA 695B, Not. J. Warnaerts). INVNO 902 contains the art works in the goods sold at the request of Samuel Godijn on 30 October 1613. |

| Buyer | Gillis Ruts in de Zydecoorn in de Nes |
| Buyer Family | Ruts, Gillis (II) |
| Buyer Notes | Gillis Ruts (II) was apparently the son of David Ruts (alias Rutgers) II (1555-1623), who in turn was the son of David Rutgers I (c.1520-1587). Gillis Ruts II and David Ruts II were nephews of Nicolaes Ruts I (on whom see below). On these relations, see the article by I. van Eeghen cited below. Gillis Ruts I, a son of Nicolaes Ruts(I), was their cousin. David Ruts II, who married Susanna de Flines on 19 July 1626, was the father of David Ruts III of R 37186. Nicolaes Ruts was the famous trader with Moscovy portrayed in Rembrandt in 1631. On 18 November 1627, Gilles Ruts (signs), from Ceulen, 29, no living parents, having lived 8 years in the Nes, was betrothed to Magdalena Ruths (signs Ruts), also from Ceulen, assisted by Niclaes Rutz, her father, living in the Warmoesstraet (DTB 432/463). The newly betrothed were thus first cousins. Magdalena Ruts, the daughter of Nicolaes Ruts I, must not be confused with the woman of the same name who married Hans van Conincxloo II and died before 1599 (see the NOTES to R 29348). Gillis II's aunt Annetge van Apperloo (the second wife of Nicolaes Ruts) died before 29 November 1645 when her death inventory was drawn up (INVNO 468 of R 369 of Montias1). Nicolaes Ruts, born in Cologne about 1572 (he gave his age as 63 in a deposition of 11 July 1635 (NA 695A), in a Mennonite family, later joined the Calvinist Church. He was married, first, to Cornelia Ranson (1594) and, second, to Anna van Apperlo (1608) (see Van Eeghen, Voor wie schilderde Rembrandt het portrait van Nicolaas Ruts ?, Maanblad Amstelodamum 64(1977), pp. 97-100). Nicolaes Ruts (II), of whom Catharina de Latfeur was said to be the widow when she witnessed the baptism of Hester Walens, the daughter of Salomon Walens of R 20599 on 31 March 1644), was apparently the son of Nicolaes Ruts I and the brother of Gillis Ruts I. The portrait of Nicolaes Ruts I by Rembrandt was inherited by Susanna Catharina, the sister of Gillis II (the daughter of David Ruts II). On 28 November 1632, Gilles Ruts(II) and Magdalen Ruts had their son Emanuel baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Henrick Callaber (of R 20312) (DTB 41/222). On 1 February 1637, the couple had their son Benjamin baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Carel Quina (DTB 42/6). Carel Quina (of R 30687) was a friend of the poet and playwright Bredero. The buyer paid a tax of 30 f. in 1631, at which time he was living in the Langebrughsteech (on the West side of the Nes) (Kohier, fol. 234, p. 53). On 4 July 1642, Gielis Ruts and Jacob Venturin (silkspinner, cited in the NOTES to R 30243), doing business together in company promised Sr. Jacob Velthuysen, merchant in Rotterdam, to absolve him for any responsibility for his guarantee of a loan to Willem Liddelto, English merchant (NA 1600, Not. W. Hasen) |

| Buyer | Willem Leydecker inde Keyser by de Academi |
| Buyer Family | Leydecker, Willem (Claesz.) |
| Buyer Notes | According to the betrothal act below, he was born about 1590. On 18 December 1614, Willem Klaesz. (Leydecker), no living parents, was betrothed to Maritgen Philips, 24, living on the Bierkay, assisted by her father Philips Lenertsz. (DTB 418/274). Philips Lenertsz., beer distributor, was the buyer of R 29712. On 21 March 1631, Willem Claesz. Leijdecker and Maritje Philips had their son Jan baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Joannes van den Broeck (DTB 41/185). In view of the fact that a son of Philips Lenertsz. called himself Michael van den Broeck (of R 32429), it is very likely that the witness Joannes van den Broeck was also a brother of Maritje Philips. On 7 December 1622, Willem Claesz. Leydeckers, together with Marten Codde of R 21399, David Luls (the father of Mattijs Davidsz. Luls cited in R 1195 of Montias1), Jan Tayller (Taylor), and Paulus Ras, all cloth merchants, made a declaration concerning the adverse effects on their trade of the increase in the tax on cloth (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P.78(1933), p. 471). In 1638, Paulus Ra(n)s, 55, along with Jan Wynantsz. van Beuninghen, 49, Cornelis Michielsz. Hoppesack, 35, and Mathijs Jansz., 48, were all headmen of the cloth finishers guild (lackenbereijdersgilde) (NA 1276, act 37, Not. Barcman). On 21 May 1637, Antoni Mutin, lord of Bellecourt, cornet in the Cavalry Company of Mareschal de Chastillon, and Willem Claesz. Leydecker, merchant, signed a contract liquidating certain obligations (NA 948, film 1174, Not. Benedict Baddel). Willem was the brother of Jan Claesz. Leydecker, portrayed by Rembrandt in the Night Watch; of Gerrit Claesz. Leyenaer, cited in the INTRO to INVNO 756; and of Cornelis Claesz. Leydecker, living on the Delfse Kaij, who acknowledged a debt of 2,700 f. to Govert and Cornelis van der Mije on 14 July 1630 (NA 842, Not. Hoogeboom). All four Leydeckers were apparently brothers of Griete Claes Leydecker who married Jan Pietersz. van den Eeckhout on 28 January 1606. Their son Gerbrant became a pupil of Rembrandt (Briels, Vlaamse schilders, p. 324). Another sister may have been Maria Claes (Leydecker) whose daughter Christina Pieters (van den Eeckhout?) married Joannes Ambrosius, the son of Hilletgen Ruardus in 1632 (cited in the TEXT of R 269 of Montias1). At the time Jan Pietersz. van den Eeckhout, living in the Calverstraet, remarried with Cornelia Dedels, from Delft (betrothal 4 February 1633, assisted by Cornelis Claesz. Leydecker), he had four children, Pieter, Maritgen, Jan, and Gerbrant, whose mother was Griet Claes Leydecker (same date as betrothal, NA 991, fol. 5, Not. J. Bosch and DTB 440/142). The death inventory of Willem Claesz. Leijdecker, knecht van de huisarmen van de oude sijde was taken on 7 May 1653. Heijltje Leijdeckers, who approved the inventory, mayn also have been one of Willem Claesz.'s sisters (NA 2408, Not. J. de Winter, INVNO 1171). On 8 July 1626, the Orphan Chamber named Jan Claesz. Leydecker as guardian over the children of Fonger Sierckzen (WK 5073/513, fol. 46). Jan Claesz. Leydecker was in close contact with the painter Jan Lievensz. Andriesz., the son of Jan Lievens. On 8 September 1636, the latter, sick in bed (with a trembling signature), stated that, on August 1 last, Jan Claesz. Leydecker had read to him the accounting he had made of the goods of Albert Fongersz., which accounting started with the year 1632 (NA 843, Not. Hoogenboom). Albert Fongersz. was presumably the son of Fonger Sierckzen, of whom Jan Claesz. Leydecker had assumed the guardianship in 1626. The bankrupt inventory of Willem Claesz. Leydecker was drawn up on 12 November 1656, more than three years after his death. Govert van der Mije cited above may have been a painter (see the ENTRY of R 1690). |

| Buyer | Lucas Jacobsz. commissaris |
| Buyer Family | Jacobsz., Lucas (Rotgans) (II) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was commissaris van de cleijne saecken. He paid a tax of 125 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 6, p. 3). He was born Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de jonge, son of Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans, soap boiler op 't Water, and of Weijntje van Hagen or Verhagen. Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de oude, in turn, was the son of Jacob Luytges and of Machteld Jans Hoone. Jacob Luytges was the grandfather of Jacob Jacobsz. Olycan of R 20418. After the death of her husband, Weijntje van Hagen directed the soap-boiling works (she laid the soap boilers' oath in 1613). Already on 17 March 1600, Weyntgen van Hage, widow of Lucas Jacobsz., assisted by Lambert Claesz. (the son of Claes Lambertsz. of R 35924 and the brother of Zacharias Claesz. of INVNO 846), her swager and guardian, and Jan Claesz. Cloeck, merchant, ceded and transferred to Jurgen van Haghen, merchant of the Eastern nation (koopman van der oosterse naetie), 400 Fl. pounds (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P,, 178(1981), p. 462). Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de jonge, who went by the name of Lucas Jacobsz. Blaucroon, after the name of the soap-boiling works that he owned on the Damrak, was baptized in the N.K. on 25 March 1587. On 3 December 1615, the Orphan Chamber appointed Lucas Jacobsz. (de jonge) and Joris Jorisz., alderman, as guardians over the children of Lucas Jacobsz., ascoper (dealer in ashes for making soap) and of Weyntgen van Haegen (WK 5073/513, fol.154). Lucas Jacobsz. de jonge became commissary in 1630, and was buried in the O.K. on 26 November 1646. He married Catharina de Gruyter (1591-1657) on 26 January 1616 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 171). In later years his soap-boiling works were situated on the N.Z. Achterburchwal (now Spuisstraet no. 52) (S.A.C. Dudok van Heel, Een grote concentratie van zeepzieders aan het Damrak, Jaarboek Amstelodamum, 83(1991), pp. 66-7). In 1629, he was one of the masters of the Nieuwe Kerck (Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 118). Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de jonge was the brother of Trijntge Lucasdr. of INVNO 824 and of Jacob Lucasz., who was 24 years old when he was betrothed to Geertruyd Jans Huijdekoopers (who was assisted by her father Schepen Jan Jacobsz. Huydekoper) on 11 August 1605 (DTB 411/564 and Elias, ibid.) Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans de jonge was Lieutenant of a militia company under Captain Allaert Cloeck, which was portrayed by Thomas de Keyser in 1632 (Rijksmuseum, All the Paintings of the Rijksmuseum, p. 319). Lucas Jacobsz. Rotgans III, the son of Geertruyd Jans Huijdecoopers and of Jacob Lucasz. Rotgans, married Constantia van Erp, the daughter of Lambert van Erp and of Constantia Coeymans and the neve of Balthasar Coeymans. The marriage contract was signed on 13 August 1636. The bridegroom promised 12,000 f. including a house on the N.Z. Voorburgwal, the bride, 40,000 f. (NA 620, Not. D. Mostart). On 1 May 1637, he declared that his house on the Appelmarckt, which he was renting to a certain widow, could not be rented for more than 350 f. a year. His tax assessment was apparently based on a rental of 500 f. a year (NA 991, Not. J. Bosch). |

| Buyer | Emanuel Colyn |
| Buyer Family | Colyn (Colijn), Emanuel (de Thovion) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was a book seller and printer, active in Amsterdam from 1622 to 1636. He paid a tax of 5 f. in 1631, at whch time he lived on the South side of the Poort on the Damsluijs (Kohier, fol. 265, p. 61). The son of Jan Colijn (of INVNO 758) and Elsje Michiels, he was baptized in Amsterdam on 6 June 1595. He was buried in Amsterdam on 30 August 1636 (Jaarboek C.B.G. 14(1960), p. 70). On 22 July 1622, Manuel Colijn, book seller, 27 years old, having no parents, assisted by his brother Claes Colijn, was betrothed to Trijntgen Cloppenburg, 24, assisted by her father Jan Evertsz. (DTB 427/200). On Jan Evertsz. Cloppenburgh, who was also a book seller, see R 29002. Emanuel or Manuel Colyn was one of the amateurs of poetry who provided subsidies for the poet Jan Jansz. Starter in 1622 (Oud Holland 3(1885), p. 54). It was presumably in gratitude for this help that Starter wrote a poem in honor of Emanuel's marriage (Jaarboek C.B.G. loc. cit.). On 26 August 1636, Emanuel Colyn and Catharina Cloppenburg (he sick in bed) drew up their testament. The survivor would be universal heir. The document was witnessed by the painter Jacob Adriaensz. Backer and by Dirck Jansz. (NA 995, film 1225, Not. G. Coren). On 29 March 1640, Catherina Cloppenburch, widow of Emanuel Colijn, was cited in a document of the Orphan Chamber (WK 5073/789). On 7 September 1657, Catharina Cloppenburg, widow and estate-holder of Manuel Colijn, bookseller, named Pieter de la Tombe (of R 20085), to represent her to obtain money due to her from Michiel Soly, bookseller in Paris (Oud Holland 4(1886), p.142). |

| Buyer | Hans van Nes |
| Buyer Family | Nes (Es, Essen), Hans van (de jonge) |
| Buyer Notes | Hans van Essen was a painter, born in 1589, the son of the merchant Hendrick van Essen, who carried on his business in the Nieuwe Rockin from about 1589 on (Briels, Vlaamse schi1ders, 1997, p. 326). Bredius believed that he was the son of Hans van Essen I who remarried (?) with Anneken Staes living in Hamburg, but this is doubtful (Bredius, Künstler-inventare p.60 of the Nachträge). He was 17 years old and still living on the Nieuwe Rockin in het Moleken, when he bought lots in the Haarlem lottery in August 1606 for 3 f. 12 st. (GAA, 2/30 F 13). On 11 October 1614, Hans van Essen, painter, 25 years old, was betrothed to Maritgen Sybrants, the widow of the goldsmith Anthony Boonhoff (of R 29596), living in the St. Jansstraet (DTB 418/316). When he bought the lot in R 20189, dated 30 July 1625, he was said to be living opt hoeckgen vant St. Jansstraet, thus in the house where his wife had been living at the time of their marriage. Maritge Sybrants was the daughter of Sybrant Cornelisz. Another daughter of Sybrant Cornelisz., named Reymsgen, married the painter Isack van Conincksloo (of R 19464). Maritge Sybrants kept a store where she sold linens. On 29 October 1619, Maritgen Sybrants and Hans van Nes, her present husband and guardian, appeared before the Orphan Chamber to present her daughter Geertruyd, whose father was the late Anthoni Boonhoff, goldsmith. One of the assets accruing to the child was an obligation incurred by Hans van Essen, schilder, for 650 f. dated 4 August 1626 (WK 5073/549). Hans van Essen signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. When Maritge Sybrants died in 1633, the paintings in her estate were assessed by Francois Venant and Isaack Isaacksz. on 30 January 1634 (INVNO 998, NAA 568, film 6548, fol. 713 and foll. and Bredius, Künstler-inventare, pp. 1462-3). On 19 December 1634, Hans van Nes, schilder, widower of Maritgen Sybrants, declared before the Orphan Chamber that the two children Maria, 2 1/2 and Jannetken, 1, left by Jan Govertsz., wine dealer, whose mother was Geertruyd Boonhoff, were entitled to a house in the Warmoesstraat from the heritage left by Maritge Sybrands (WK 5073/789). On 26 June 1635, Jochum Jansz. Bosch, beer distributor, insinuated Cornelis Sybrantsz., silversmith, living in St. Janstraet, regarding the rent due by Hendrick Koerten for two years on his (Sybrantsz.'s) house. On the next day, two witnesses testified at the request of Hendrick Koerten to the effect that Koerten's household goods had been taken away from him and thrown on the street (NA 1184). Two months earlier, on 18 May 1635, Jacob Jacobsz. Blyenberg, 28, and Jan Smith, schoolmaster, 36, made a deposition at the request of Hendrick Koerten regarding an obligation passed before the aldermen. The controversy over this obligation was probably related to Koerten's above-mentioned travails (NA 991, fol. 45). Earlier, on 27 May 1620, several witnesses testified to a fight that had occurred in the inn in which Hendrick Koerten was hospites and several people had been wounded. The protagonist was a representative of the farmer on the beer tax who had broken through several barrels of beer (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.P.G. 78(1933), pp. 155-6_). After the death of Isaack van Conincxloo (of R 19464), a dispute arose over an obligation for 650 f. issued in 1626 by Hans van Essen (Nes), painter, and Isaack van Conincxloo. the late husband of Reijmsge Sijbrants, and Balthasar van Driel, bed seller, as sureties. The obligation was written in the name of the wife of Jan Govertsz, wine dealer. The obligation was held at the time of the insinuation (26 January 1636) by Jacob Jansz. Fortuijn (of R 29635) who demanded prompt payment. Reijmsge Sybrants, the insinuee, claimed that the obligation had been fulfilled (NA 597, fol. 225-6, Not. Lamberti). On 26 August 1636, Jan Govertsz. de oude, 62, and Lysbeth Dens, 60, father and mother of Jan Govertsz. de jonge, who was married to the late Gertruyd Boonhoofs, declared at the request of Hans van Essen, widower of Maritge Sybrants, the mother of the afore-said Gertruyd, that Jan Goverts de jonge had received the capital sum of 700 f. for his wedding in the wedding contract passed before Notary Hogeboom on 29 April 1631 (NA 597, fol. 520, Not. Lamberti). On 22 November 1636, Reymsge Sybrants absolved Hans van Es of any further responsibility for Jacob Fortuyn's claim on 300 f. that were owed to him by Jan Govertsz. de jonge, widower of Tryntje Boonhoff (NA 598, fol. 44, Not. Lamberti). Finally, on 20 December 1636, Hans van Essen, from Antwerp, widower of Marretie Sybrants, living on the corner of the St. Jansstraet, was betrothed to Anna Jans, from Amsterdam, widow of Hans Warnaerts, living in the St. Janstraet (Pui) (Obreen, Archief, 5(11882-1883), p. 13). On 14 March 1625, Hans van Nes bought a house on the Warmoesstraat, next to the house of Elbert Joosten (of R 19459) for 7,400 f. (J.G. Kam, Waar was dat huis in de Warmoesstraat? 1968, p. 37/2). Elbert Joosten was the surety for a lot purchased by Isaack Coninxloo (R 19464), the brother-in-law of Hans van Essen. Hans van Es was a witness at the baptism of Pieter, the son of the painter Aert van der Neer and Elisabeth Gevelts, on 4 March 1640 (Oud Holland 3(1885), p.234). Hans van Es died in February 1648 (Briels, ibid.). The painter Hans van Essen may have been the nephew of the merchant of the same name, born in Antwerp, who married Anneken Staes, born in Hamburg, in March 1608 (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 223). |
