| Buyer | Paulus Hartsbeeck in de Nes |
| Buyer Family | Hartsbeeck (Hertsbeeck), Paulus (Pauwels) (van) (II?) |
| Buyer Notes | Paulus van Hersbeecke, as well as his brother Isaack van Hertsbeecke, were merchants born in Antwerp (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 303). Paulus was born around 1595. He seems to have been the second individual named Paul(us) van Hertsbeeck. The first married Johanna de Velaer, the daughter of Jacques de Velaer, born about 1547, in the late 16th century (Wijnroks, Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden, 1560-1640, p. 251). The second was born about 1605. On 16 February 1618, Paulus van Harsbeeck (II), 23 years old, pastry baker (bancketbacker), living on the Rockin, assisted by his brother Jacques van Harsbeeck, was betrothed to Sara van de Neht (or Nest), 18, assisted by her father Pieter van de Nest and her mother Maerken de Winter (DTB 422/172). The couple had their daughter Elisabeth baptized in the N.K. on 22 August 1638 in the presence of Pieter van Harsbeeck (who was also Paulus's brother) (DTB 42/95). Poulus Harsbeeck paid a tax of 30 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the oversijde van de Nes (Kohier, fol. 235 vo., p. 54) (the address he gave when he purchased this lot). Pauwels van Harsbeeck and his older brother Isaack dealt, inter allia, in Moscow talcum. On 4 July 1635, Isaack van Harsbeeck, 48, Paulus van Harsbeeck, 42, and Boudewijn van Boshuijsen, 31, merchants in Amsterdam, declared at the request of Philips Pelt (of R 28903), likewise merchant, that they had inspected some vats of Moscow talcum and found it worth less than it was supposed to be, by at least two gulden per 100 pounds (NA 695A, film 4981; see also a similar deposition in the NOTES to R 32466). Paulus van Hertsbeeck also dealt in sugar. On 2 July 1636, the sugar refiners Gabriel Loste, 48, and Gillis van den Boogaert, 48, declared at the request of the substitute sheriff Pieter Jan Vlasvath (of R 7684) that they had inspected the warehouse of Paulus van Harsbeeck and they had found a box (kiste) filled with sugar, marked as in the margin (NA 695A, omslag 73, Not. J. Warnaerts). Gabriel Lost was one of the buyers at a sale of sugar, syrop, and sugar-refining equipment that had apparently belonged to a sugar refinery in 1638 (NA 419, fol.106-132, Not. Jacob Jacobsz.) On 29 October 1637, Pauwels van Harsbeeck, 43, and Symon Felt, 33, merchants, declared at the request of Cornelis Dircksz. de jonge, alderman, that they were in Middelburg 12 days ago and that their ship was forced to lie at the wall or quay at a high cost (in wasted time). The witnesses spoke to one of the burgomasters of Middelburg who said it wasn't in the power of the skipper to choose another place in which to load (NA 866, Not. van Zwieten). Symon Felt bought silk from Maria Koerten and was perhaps a silk cloth manufacturer or dealer (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), p. 527). On 29 April 1638, Claes Gerritsz., butter dealer, 24, and Pieter Verwelck, servant of Jan Jacobsz., 20, declared at the request of Paulus van Hersbeeck, merchant, that Van Hersbeeck had gone that morning to the comptoir of the tax collector on fats (impostmeester van de smeer) on the Calverstraet and that he had discussed the taxes on Moscow talcum (NA 696A, film 4982). In an insinuatie dated 17 May 1638, Laurens Coesaert (III), of R 33388, claimed that he had sold to Isaacq van Hartsbeecq some Moscovite talcum, which was supposed to be paid in 8 days. Pauwels, who was associated with his brother, promised to pay (NA 1466, film 1556). On 11 July 1637, the brandy and wine dealer Jan Adriaensz. Keyser (of R 23767) insinuated Isaack van Hartsbeeck, concerning a house that Van Hartsbeeck had bought from Keyser for 8,000 f. Van Hartsbeeck answered the insinuation by saying that he was prepared to pay the 8,000 f. capital sum provided that Keyser supply the rest (NA 844, film 570). On 2 June 1638, notary Van Zwieten insinuated Isack van Hertsbeeck on the part of Francois van Muijlwijck who claimed that, last May, he had been ready to complete the financial transfer of a house bought by Van Hertsbeeck the previous September for 4,600 f. (thus not the same house bought in 1637). Van Hertsbeeck answered on the same day that he was ready to receive the letters of transfer and to make the requisite payments but that he had found that there was a wall in common (with another house) whereas he had understood that the house had been sold as free and unencumbered. He proposed to settle the difference by arbitration (NA 867, fol.183-184vo.) This house seems to be the same one as already had caused a dispute in 1635 (see the NOTES to R 25169). On 17 January 1639, Isaeck van Harsbeeck, 49, and Pauwels van Harsbeeck, 44, merchants, declared at the request of Pieter Jansz. Blauwenhaen (of R 37242), likewise merchant, that they had heard a certain candlemaker say that he had bought some fat (for making candles) from Jacques Musch, which was of substandard quality (NA 1186. fol. 118vo.) Jacques Musch is almost certainly identical with the butcher Jacques Mus (thus supplier of fats) who signed a contract for the delivery of meat to Portugues Jews in 1618 and 1620 (according to religious stipulations). The other butcher supplying the meat was Herbert Nasen (Nason), the father of the Hague painter Hubert Nason, cited in R 20435 (Jaarboek Amstelodamum 62(1970). Isaack van Hertsbeeck lent 4,200 f. to Rembrandt on 14 March 1653 and became one of his chief creditors. The loan was never repaid. The daughter of Isaack van Hertsbeeck, named Susanna, married Jan van Os de jonge, the nephew of Jan van Os oude, who was the probable buyer of R 26894. Susanna Isaacks van Hertsbeeck should not be confused with Susanna Pauwels van Hertsbeeck, who married Joachim van Hemert. Both were approximately of the same age. For the insolvent inventory of Paulus van Hertsbeeck, dated 24 October 1661, see INVNO 304 (R 1053 of Montias1). By the time this inventory was drawn up, Paulus van Hertsbeeck had became a dealer in paints. |

| Buyer | Gerrit Bas |
| Buyer Family | Bas, Gerrit (Claesz.) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was baptized in the N.K. on 25 October 1598 and buried in the same church on 22 June 1657, the son of Claes Jacobsz. Bas and of Adriana (Aryaentje) Gerrits Schagen. He was a rich wheat merchant (korenkooper) and, at one time, farmer of the tax on wine. He lived, first, on the Singel in Medemblick and, in 1638. on the Heerengracht in 't huys te Schagen (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 249). On 3 February 1621, Gerrit Bas, 21 years old, assisted by his father Claes Bas, living on the Coningsgracht, was betrothed to Aeltje Puijnders, assisted by her father Jan Dirx Puijnder (DTB 425/219). Jan Puijnder was the brother-in-law of the organist Jan Pietersz. Sweelinck of R 27883, who married Puijnder's sister Claesgen (Oud Holland 3(1885), p. 285). On 30 January 1629, Gerrit Bas and Aeltje Puijnders had their daughter Maritje baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Marie Gerrits (DTB 41/5). For a deposition made at his request (and of some other former farmers of the wine tax), see the NOTES to R 27378. Gerrit Bas paid a tax of 200 f. in 1631, at which time he lived on the South side of the Heerengracht (Kohier, fol. 180, p. 41). He signed the Remonstrant petition of 1628. |

| Buyer | Griet van Neck |
| Buyer Family | Neck, Griet (Margriet) (Jacobs) van |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer married Jan Claesz. van Hoorn of R 27459 on 12 April 1594. He died in 1622. The honorable Jan Claesz. van Hoorn, in a deposition about the tar business in which he was engaged, dated 13 March 1619, was said to be 53 years old (NA 200, film 111, Not. J.F. Bruyning). Griet van Neck was also the sister of Weijntgen van Neck, the wife of Jacob Claesz. van Hooren (her brother-in-law) of this inventory. She paid a tax of 150 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 12, p. 4). She signed the petition in behalf of the Remonstrants in 1628. She was the mother of Isaack van Hooren, with whom she apparently continued the tar business of her late husband. In 1631, Griet Jacobs, widow of Hoorn, was taxed, living on the Cintel, was taxed 150 f. (Kohier f. 12, p. 4). She is also referred to as the widow Van Hoorn in R 25123. On or before 4 May 1632, Griet and Isaack were insinuated by Jan van de Wouwer (of R 23231) and Jan Outgertsz. for having failed to make full payment on tar that they had bought. A sum of 2,995 f. remained outstanding (NA 843, Not. Hoogeboom). On 23 February 1633, the honorable Margarita van Neck, widow of Jan Claesz. van Hoorn named Pieter Segers to represent her in Rotterdam to take advantage of a sentence of the court in her favor against Gillis Carpentier awarding her 585 f. (NA 991, fol.8, Not. J. Bosch). On 4 November 1636, the honorable Juff. Margrita van Neck, widow of Jan van Hooren, 67 years old, and Dirck Meulenaer, her bookkeeper, 36, declared at the request of the honorable Goddert van Wachtendonck, merchant, that she, Margrita van Neck, had bought tar from Wachtendonck to transport on a ship (NA 695B, film 4821, Not. J. Warnaerts). On 18 June 1637, Pieter Jansz. van Hoorn, bridegroom-to-be, assisted by his mother Griet van Neck, widow of Jan van Hoorn, and Jan Valckenier, his granduncle, signed a pre-nuptial contract with Maria joffr. Maria Vlooswyck, assisted by her father Jan Claesz. Vlooswyck, member of the Vroedschap, Gerrit van Vlooswyck, her uncle,former alderman, and Cornelis van Vlooswyck, her brother (NA 920). Gerrit van Vlooswijck was a rich merchant living op 't Water, who was taxed 1000 f. in 1631 (Kohier fol.23vo, p.7). Griet van Neck was buried in the O.K. on 7 September 1638 (DTB 1045/107vo). |

| Buyer | Lambert Massa |
| Buyer Family | Massa, Lambert |
| Buyer Notes | Lambert Massa (II), the son of Lambrecht Massa, was the younger brother of Isaack Massa, the well-known merchant who was protrayed by Frans Hals. He was born about 1597 (see the deposition of 1637 below). On 6 January 1616, Abraham Dragon, merchant, and Isaack Massa, merchant in Haarlem, appointed as their representative (factor) the brother of Isaack, named Lambert Massa, who, with the first opportunity (favorable wind), will go to Russia. He may accept letters of credit up to 1000 rubles (NA 530, fol. 79, Not. Westfrisius, Extracten). Abraham Dragon, or possibly his son by the same name, may have been a painter (see the NOTES to R 4760 of INVNO 214). On the trading activities of Lambert Massa in Moscovy, see E. Wijnroks, Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden, 1560-1640, pp. 362-3). It was almost surely the individual named Abraham Dragon cited above who was the executor of the testament of Barbe Dragon (his sister ?), the widow of Charles de la Croix. She was the mother of Sara Drumez, the wife of Abraham Soolmans of R 27420. Isaack Massa (1586-1643), from Antwerp, had himself portrayed at least twice by Frans Hals. They were apparently friends, considering that Isaack Massa was a witness to the baptism of a daughter of Hals in 1623 (Frans Hals, Exh. Cat. 1989, p. 190). On 7 May 1620 and, on many other occasions between 1620 and 1639, the brothers Lambert and Christiaen Massa freighted ships to Archangelsk (NA 155, fol. 123vo, etc.. Extracten). On 1 September 1622, Lambert Massa and his wife Constantia Dubois had their son Lambert baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Pieter Latfeur and Anna Jacot (DTB 6/25). On Pieter Latfeur, see R 20047. Pieter Latfeur and Lambert Massa freighted a ship to Archangelsk in 1620 (NA 155, fol. 123vo, Not. Bruyningh, Extracten). Lambert Massa freighted ships to the same destination as late as 27 May 1642 and 18 June 1643. On 21 December 1624, Lambert Massa bought a house on the Keisersgracht (no. 66) (Maandblad Amstelodamum 62(1975), p. 26) In 1631, when he was still living in the same house, Lambert Massa paid a tax of 25 f. When he purchased a lot at auction on 16 November 1637 (R 34192), he was said to be living naest Jacob Jansz. metselaer. This is confirmed by the Kohier (fol. 188vo., p. 43). Jacob Jansz. was apparently an architect or at least a contractor. On 15 February 1636, the eersame Jacob Jansz. mason, 45, declared at the request of Jacques van Hoorn (of INVNO 110) sale) that he had been engaged in building a hofstede in Haarlem (NA 414A, Not. Jacob and Nicolaes Jacobsz.) On 21 August 1637, Jacob Jansz., mason, now said to be 50, made a declaration concerning a dispute on a common wall between two houses. Two days earlier David van Mansdale (II), 26, had given a deposition on this affair (NA 866). In 1632 (or possibly earlier), Lambert Massa, who was said on this occasion to be a house carpenter (huystimmerman) built a house on the Keizersgracht (No. 104), which came in the possession of Claes Harmensz. Roothoet in 1642 (E. van Houten, Grachtenboek, 1962, p. 58). On 27 June 1637, Lambert Massa, 40, and Niclaes Romiti, 27, both merchants, declared at the request of Pieter de Bruijsser, also merchant, that they were well acquainted with Jaques Marchant, merchant in Haarlem, and that they heard, shortly before he had died, that he had sold to the petitioner (De Bruijsser) half of a garden he owned (NA 522, film 4861, Not. Westfrisius). On 21 May 1641, Lambert Massa sold (scheldt kwijt) to Claes Hermansz. Roothoed a house and court for a rent (interest payments) of 107 f. 10 st. a year (Jaarboek Amstelodamum, 67(1975), p. 129). This is probably but not certainly the same house on the Keizersgracht that Massa inhabited in 1637. It was in the attic of his house that an important collection of paintings was inventorized at the request of Lucretia Coymans, the widow of the late Pieter Kruyspenning (Cruypenningh). on 25 April 1640 (NA 422, film 6438, and Strauss, Rembrandt Documents, p. 187, INVNO 1040). This, too, is likely to be the house on the Keisersgracht, since, by that date, it had not yet been transferred to Roothoed. Lucretia Coymans, the youngest child of Casper Coeymans of R 31693, was a witness at the baptism of Heinrick, the son of Isabella Coymans and Jan van Heusden, in 1623. She was the sister of Isabella (R 36233). On 27 December 1636, Susanna Sprangers, widow of Dr. Augerius Clutius, who had been a doctor in medicine in Amsterdam, had notary Van de Ven inform Massa that she did not wish to go through with a transaction whereby she had sold Massa tulip bulbs for 100 f. which were planted in the garden of Marten Alewijn (the brother of Matheus Halewijn of R 22399). She claimed that she had no right to make the sale without a guardian, that she didn't know anything about the tulip trade etc.. She offered to return the money plus one rijcksdaelder (2 1/2 gulden) for the poor. Massa's wife told the notary that she would inform her husband. On December 29, he let Susanna Sprangers know that he refused the money. He apparently wished the transaction to go through in a period of rising tulip prices (NA 1158,fol. 144, Not. J. van de Ven, with thanks to Anne Goldgar). Susanna Sprangers was the sister of Gommer Spranger of INVNO 305. Augerius Clutius, alias Outger Cluyt, M.D., was the son of the Delft and Leiden botanist Dirck Cluyt and the brother of the Amsterdam notary Willem Cluyt. On 9 June 1620, Augerius Clutius and Jacobus van Aecken, both doctors in medicine, examined the horn of a unicorn and declared that it was effective against poisons (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.P.G. 78(1929), p. 364). Marten Alewijn (or Halewijn) and Matheus Halewijn were cousins of Susanna Srangers (they were cited in the testament of Susanna Sprangers, dated 25 February 1639, in NA 21S, Notary Salomon Hendricx). On 29 January 1644, Lambert Massa, merchant in Amsterdam, declared that the ship Prins Hendrick, laden with goods worth 1308 f. destined for Archangel, and insured for 200 pounds Flemish (1200 f.), had sunk (NA 688, fo. 461, Not. Warnaerts, Extracten). Massa's widow remarried with Hendrick Schoonmans, widower of Aaltje Pieters Verwer, on 23 April 1649 (DTB 680/104). On 10 July 1653, Constantia du Bois, widow of Lambert Massa, recognized a debt she owed to Claes Jansz. Groenewegen, married to Sara Massa, her daughter, for the purchase of her wedding goods (trousseau). She had given an equal sum to her son Isaack Massa (II) for his wedding. The guardian of the children was Christiaen Massa, the brother of Lambert (NA 1892, fol. 27, Not. Uytenbogaert, Extracten). |

| Buyer | Dirck van Neck |
| Buyer Family | Neck, Dirck (Jochemsz.) van |
| Buyer Notes | On 14 April 1615, Dirck Jochemsz. van Neck, 25 years old, living on the N.Z. Voorburchwal, assisted by his mother Annetgen Dircks, was betrothed to Aeghen Krynens, 21, assisted by her father Kryn Kemelsz. (?) and her mother Annetgen Frans (DTB 667/179). Dirck van Neck paid a tax of 30 f. in 1631, at which time he lived in the Warmoesstraet (Kohier, fol. 167 vo., p. 39). On 12 September 1634, the heirs of Thymen Braems paid Dirck Jochumsz. van Neck 129 f. 18 st. for 12 1/2 ellen of caffa, silk stockings, and figured satin (WK 5073/1193). He was presumably a dealer in fine silks. The death inventory of Dirck van Neck was taken on 12 May 1642. It contained een wintertje evaluated at 4 f., which may be identical with the present lot (GAA, not. Westfrisius, no.564B.) From the contents of the inventory, which included a print of Pater Jan Eij (Jan Ney), it would appear that he was Roman Catholic. |

| Buyer | Weijntge Fransdr. Ruijs |
| Buyer Family | Ruijs, Weijntge Fransdr. |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer, Weijntge Frans Ruijs or Ruijsch, was born in 1575 and was buried on 18 May 1630. She is likely to be identical with Wijntgen Frans who, in 1590 (she would then have been 15 years old), was summoned by the kerkeraad of her church for singing both in private houses and in the street (Roodenburg, Onder censuur, pp. 329-330). On 28 July 1615, she was betrothed to Jaspar Kornelisz. Lodder, widower of Neeltje van Veen (DTB 419/179). Jaspar Lodder, who had been a master of the Oude Waalkerck in 1616, died in 1624 (Jan Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 166). For his death inventory, see INVNO 485. His daughter Machtelt married Egbert van Hoorn (of R 26518) and, in 1645, the painter and architect Daniel Stalpaert (Oud Holland 29(1911), p. 67). Weijntge was the daughter of Frans Hendricksz. Ruysch and Marij Jansdr. Valckenier (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 138). She was buried on 18 May 1630 (DTB 1054/54vo). Frans Hendricksz. Ruys invested 600 f. in the first subscription to V.O.C. shares in 1602 (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister p. 203). Weijntge was the sister of Trijntgen Frans Ruijs of R 32166. Another sister, named Grietge, was betrothed to Claas Jansz. Lichthart of R 28235. Still another, named Marritje Frans Ruijs, was a widow in 1631 when, living on the Oosterkay, she paid a tax of 50 f. (Kohier, fol. 162, p. 38). Barend Fransz. Ruijs, who was probably the brother of Weijntge, Grietge, Marritje, and Trijntgen, married Hillegond Simonsdr., who, after his death, remarried with the art dealer Michiel le Fort in 1618 (R 21178). |

| Buyer | Jan van Hooren |
| Buyer Family | Hooren, Jan van (II ?) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was probably Jan Jansz. van Horen de jonge, the son of Jan Jansz. van Hooren de oude, fabryckmeester (of R 27381) and of Mary Egberts Vinck. He was born in 1587 and buried in Amsterdam on 28 December 1649. He was a dealer in gun powder (boskruithandelaar), living outside the Heiligewegspoort. He was Regent of the Rasp- en Tuchthuis in 1617. He married 1) Meytge Pieters Calff on 21 April 1609 (DTB 414/21) and, after her death, 2) Nelletgen van Heusden (or Heussen) (1575-1649), widow of Gijsbert Jacobsz. de Goyer, on 14 September 1621 (DTB 426/181). She was the daughter of Jan van Heusden of R 36233 and of Aefgen de Wael (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 295). It was perhaps Nelletgen van Heusden (de huisvrouw van Jan van Hooren) who paid a tax of 60 f. in 1631 (Kohier, fol. 150, p. 35). Gysbrecht Jacobsz. de Goeyer (Goyer) was appointed guardian by the Orphan Chamber of the two children of Geertruyt van Weesick, whose father (still living) was Hans Luycx, on 29 April 1615 (WK 5073/513, fol. 151). Jan Jansz. van Hooren de jonge freighted a ship to Lisbon in 1618 (Winkelman, Bronnen voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse Oostzeehandel R.G.P. 186(1983), p. 177). He was said to be a broker when he drew up his testament on 19 February 1636 (NA 856, Not. Rooleeuw). |

| Buyer | Daniel Bernarts coopman |
| Buyer Family | Bernarts (Bernard, Bernaert), Daniel (II) |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer was baptized in Middelburg on 17 July 1594 and died in Amsterdam on 5 October 1681. He was the son of Daniel Bernarts (I) (1560-1620) and of Hester Corbault. Daniel, with his brother Jan II, set up an important trading company that did business with Russia (main trading post at Nizhny Novgorod) as well with the Near East, Spain and Italy. He became a director of the V.O.C. in 1641. He was a regent of the Aalmoezeniersweeshuis in 1639 (Wagenaar, Amsterdam, vol. 2, p. 300) and a kerckmeester of the Noordkerck in 1658. He was a director of the V.O.C. from 1641 until his death in 1681. On 24 April 1625, Daniel Bernarts, from Middelborgh, 30 years old, assisted by his mother Hester Corbolt (Corbault), living on the Keysersgracht, was betrothed to Catharina Moor, 20, assisted by her father Bartholomeus Moor and her mother Marya Niquet (DTB 430/66). Catharina Moor died in 1626 (Amsterdammers geportretteerd; Kopstukken 1600-1800 (N. Middelkop ed.), Exh. Cat. 2002/2003,, Bossum, 2002, p. 161). On Bartholomeus Moor, a buyer at WK auction, see R 21230. After Catharina's death, Daniel Bernarts remarried with Maria Rijckaert on 14 September 1631. She was the daughter of Andries Rijckaert and Susanna Mercijs (Elias, Vroedschap,pp. 609-610). Daniel and his brother Jan Barnart were taxed 200 f. in 1631, at which time they lived om de hoeck van de Heeregraft (Kohier, fol. 65vo, p. 16). Daniel and Jean Bernart apparently dealt in indigo. On 28 October 1638, Barholomeus van Aesdael, sworn weight dragger (at the Wagh on the Dam), 56, declared at the request of Daniel and Jean Bernart that the previous June he had been present at the house of Jean Bernart when he had seen 20 batches of indigo which he had handled for Reynier Schaep, Michiel Faes (of R 27256), Andries Pels, Marten Rodenmaecker, and other merchants (NA 696A, film 4982). On 26 October 1641, Isaack Vlamingh, merchant, insinuated sr. Jan Bernarts, who received the insinuation on behalf of his brother Daniel, concerning 100 pounds of gold wire or chain (goutraet) which he had bought from them for 541 Fl. pounds and 7 schellingen. Vlamingh had been unable to pay in silver coin, as specified by the broker (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P. 144(1974), pp.320-1). In 1674, Daniel Bernarts (or his son of the same name ?) was taxed on the basis of assets estimated at 250,000 f. in 1674 (Elias, loc. cit.) On Andries Pels, see the NOTES to R 7591. In August 1675, Jacob Piemontel complained about the interference in his money-changing trade of a number of brokers,including Daniel, Andries, and Jan Bernard (Van Dillen, Wisselbanken, R.G.P. 59(1925), p. 181). Daniel's son, Daniel Bernard II, lord of Kattenbroec en de Uytendijken van Mastwijck, was born on 21 February 1626 and died in 1714. He married Clara Alewijn (1635-1674) and remarried with Cornelia Munter. He was one of the directors of the Levantse Handel. He was portrayed by Bartholomeus van der Helst, shortly before 8 June 1669 (Kopstukken, ibid.) Daniel's daughter, Maritge Daniels Bernart was cited in the INTRO to the inventory of Mary Jans van Beuningen (INVNO 1184). |

| Buyer | Schepen Jacob Reael |
| Buyer Family | Reael, Jacob |
| Buyer Notes | Jacob Reael was baptized on 3 April 1590 in the N.K. of Amsterdam and died on 30 March 1639. He was the son of Johan Pietersz. Reael and of Hillegond Reyniersdr. van Neck (he was thus related to Weijntgen van Neck, the wife of Jacob van Hoorn). He was a merchant living on the N.Z. Voorburgwal. He went bankrupt in 1629 when the grain dealing firm of Joost Willemsz. van Nieuwkerck ceased payment. He was an alderman from 1623 until his bankruptcy (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 352). Joost Willemsz. van Nieuwkerck (1588-1645) married Sara van den Vondel, the sister of the poet Joost van den Vondel, on 3 April 1614 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 36). Hester Willems, the sister of Joost Willemsz. van Nieuwkerck, was the first wife of Reyer Claesz. Anslo, cloth merchant, who died before 1631 (ibid. p. 34). Hester Willems remarried with Jan Rodenburgh (1594-1665) on 28 September 1631 (Elias, ibid.) On 2 August 1636, Ryckgen Reyers, 12, daughter of the late Reyer Anslo and of Hester Willems, drew up her testament, citing her mother Hester Willems. Ryckgen Ansloo married Francois van der Schagen, from Leiden, doctor in Amsterdam. Their daughter Magdalena van de Schagen, born on 28 December 1656, married Matthijs Straalman, from Zwolle, coth dealer, who left a fortune of f. 870,000 after his death (Elias, op.cit. pp. 892-3). On 23 June 1623, Jacob Reael, raed and schepen of Amsterdam, 33 years old, assisted by his brother Pieter Jansz. Reael, living on the N.Z. Voorburchwal, was betrothed to Machteltgen Pieters Ruijtenborchs, assisted by her father Pieter Gerritsz. and her sister Trijntje Pieters, living on the O.Z. Achterburchwal (DTB 428/100). On 28 December 1625, the couple had their daughter Hilgont baptized in the N.K. in the presence of Pieter van Ruijtenburg (DTB 40/327). On 12 January 1631, they had their son Joannes baptized in the same church in the presence of Willem van Ruijtenburg (DTB 41/117). Pieter Gerritsz. Ruytenburgh (1562-1627), spice merchant in den Rooden Hondt, was master of the Orphan Chamber from 1616 to 1627. Pieter Gerritsz.'s son Willem Pietersz. Ruytenburgh (1600-1652) became Lieutenant of the militia in or before 1642, captain in or before 1646. He married Alida (Aeltge) Jonckheyn (baptized on 17 February 1609) on 17 February 1627. She was the daughter of Elbert Simonsz. Jonckheyn (of INVNO 572) and of Adriana Cool(s) (of R 20386) (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 425). On 6 March 1635, Juffr. Adriana Cool, with a procuration from her son-in-law Willem van Ruytenburgh, heer van Vlaerdingen, insinuated the jeweler and art dealer Johannes de Renialme of INVNO 180, apparently for his failure to deliver a share (in the V.O.C.?) (NA 843, Not. Hoogeboom). |

She was the sister of Weyntge Frans Ruysch of R 32158 (Elias, Vroedschap, p. 9) and of Aefge Frans Rusch, the mother of Maria Cloeck of INVNO 1243. Willem Wijntges was portrayed, along with other regents of the Oude Mannen- en Vrouwengasthuis, by Claes Moyaert in 1640 (Amsterdammers geportretteerd; Kopstukken 1600-1800 (N. Middelkop ed.), Exh.

| Buyer Family | Laurensz., Laurens |
| Buyer Notes | The buyer is probably identical with Laurens Laurensz., merchant from Brugge, first noted in Amsterdam in 1585 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 306). He was a lumber dealer. He is likely to be the individual of that name who paid a tax of 70 f. in 1631. At that time he was living on the East side of the Breestraet beneath the Sluijs (Kohier, fol. 227 vo., p. 52). On 13 October 1621, Laurens Laurensz., lumber dealer, brought various assets to the Orphan Chamber belonging to his wards, the children of Jacob Jansz. Schemacker (WK 5073/789). On 4 November 1621, he was named guardian, along with Paulus Jansz. Kleij, over the children Jacob Jansz. Rocher, who were probably his nephews (see the NOTES to R 43863). On 29 April 1626, Jan van den Wouwer of R 23231 was named together with Laurens Laurensz., lumber dealer, as guardian over the children left by Marten van Rossen (WK 5073/513, fol. 43). On 22 October 1636, when Louris Lourisz. appeared before the Orphan Chamber, he was said to be a former lumber dealer (eertyts houtcoper) (WK 5073/789). |
