John de Losa Barona] - living at Limma in Peru in the West Indies; merchant; aged forty[10]; passenger on the Saint George from Cadiz[11]; born in the city of Segovia in Spain[12]; witness and claimant; John Mexia de Herrera deposed in August 1653 that "the arlate John de Losa Barona is a Spaniard and a subiect of the King of Spaine, and is an inhabitant of Limma in Peru of the West Indies and so hath bene for these thirteene yeares now past of this deponents knowledge, and was borne att Segovia in Spaine as this deponent hath credibly heard and beleiveth"[13]; John de Losa Barona sold English manufactures in Peru on behalf of Paul Cobrisse for return in form of silver to Pedro Calvo in Cadiz[14]; according to De Losa Barona Pedro Calvo sent out to him in Limma in Peru in 1650 "a great quantity of stuffes of the manufacture of England worth fifty thousand peeces of eight to convert into sylver for the sayd producents [Paulus Cobrisse] accompt", these goods having been sent ffirst from London (or some other English port) to Cadiz[15]; John de Losa Barona deposed in September 1653 that "for theis eight yeares now last past He this deponent hath bene the correspondent and agent for the sayd Paulus Cobrisse"[16]; John de Losa Barona was himself a claimant for money, plate and silver aboard the Saint George, the Sampson and the Salvador

Manuell Corea [alt. Mannuell Corea; Correa] - living in Varinas/Varines; "he this deponent was borne in Verina in the West Indies, where he liveth and hath a wife and family there"[17]; thirty-four years old; Manuel Corea calls this "the Citty of Varinas in the West Indies"[18]; merchant; passenger on the Salvador; Manuel Corea appears to have been in the Spanish West Indies for at least twelve years, since he states in support of the claim for silver of Lewis ffernandez Angell that he "hath knowne the arlate Lewis ffernandez Angell an Inhabitant of Caracas in the West Indies for theis twelve yeares last past"[19]

Manuell Corea himself deposed in August 1654 that "he was borne att Lisbon in Portugall, and for theis 22 yeares hath lived in the Varinas of the West Indies""[20]; this statement means that Manuel Correa lived in Varinas since the age of about twelve. Correa added that " he hath bene long out of Spaine, and lived there but for a small space of tyme, and saith he knoweth not the Lawes and Customes of Spaine"[21]

Baetens (1976) mentions a "Manuel Correo" in a list of merchants and goods by year ("Manuel Correo Hollands lijnwaad 164[?6]"[22]

A "Manuel Correa" is named in a list of individuals in Virgilia Tosta, Familias, cabildos y vecinos de la antigua Barinas (Barinas, Venezuela, 1980)[23]

John Mexia de Herrera [alt. Juan Mexia de Herera; John Mexia da Herreya; John Mexia do Herera] - living in Limma in Peru; born at Temblick in the territories of the Archbishop of Toledo, Spain; merchant; aged thirty-four in May 1653[24]; witness and ?claimant; travelled with Antonio Stephen da Bolderas from Lima in Peru to Panama and then to Porto Bello, where they both "imbarqued themselves in the Vice Admirall of the gallions for Spaine"[25]; passenger on the Saint George; in May 1653 de Herrera stated "hath his most usuall residence at Lima in Peru in the West Indies where hee hath dwelt these twelve yeares last in respect of his place of habitation"[26]

John Mexia de Herrera is identified in depositions in another case in HCA 13/73 as assistant to John Moller (alt. Mollar) in the Santa Maria. The Santa Maria was alleged to be a Dutch ship, and was seized by the English with alleged goods in it from San Domingo in the island of Hispaniola. He is described in March 1659 by John Van Lienen, the thirty seven year old commander of the Santa Maria, as "a Spaniard and subiect (as this deponent taketh it) of the king of Spaine, borne at Toledo and a batchelour, but saith this examinate hath seene a burger brief, whereby it appeared that the said Mexia was a burger of Amsterdam"[27]; Jan Van Lienen's description of John Mexia de Herrera as a Spaniard, born in Toledo, matches de Herrera's self-description in his deposition in the Silver Ships litigation, in which he is described as "John Mexia de Herrera borne at Temblick in the Territories of the [?Archbishop] of Toldeo in Spaine living for the most part at [?Lima] in the West Indies aged thirty yeares"[28]

Pasquall Andrada stated that: "Don Antonio da Ponte is a Spaniard and as this deponent hath credibly heard and beleiveth was borne in Garachicho aforesayd, where this deponent was likewise borne. And he is a subiect of the King of Spayne and hath his family at Garachicho aforesayd, And for many yeares of this deponents knowledge, having lived with him four yeares as a servant, hath traded as a merchant betwixt the West Indyes the Canary Islands Spayne and other places under the dominion of the sayd King of Spaine"[33]

John Vorvoort, Antwerp based cashier and booke-keeper to John Smeesters in Antwerp, had never been to Spain. He deposed, referring to the factor of John Smeesters, who we know from Anthonie Lois to be Michael Perry Senior, that that "Perry as hee beleeveth is a fflandrian borne, and hath long time lived at Cadiz"[69]; Micahel Perry Severino makes reference to his own father, deposing in October 1653 support of a claim by John Bollart of Antwerp that "he hath for theise ten years last past or thereabouts knowne the producent John Bollart by meanes of correspondencey and trade between the said producent, and this deponents father and himselfe"[70]

Juan Esćon [alt. Juan Escon; Jhouan Exon]

Juan Escon - an English merchant in Cadiz. Who is this mystery man? Source: Ángel Alloza Aparicio, Juan Carlos Zofío Llorente (2013)

Juan Escon, also known as Juan Escout [alt. ?Escott], was a Cadiz based merchant commercially active in the 1620s and 1630s, and possibly later. He was married to Margarita Enríquez, who was presumably Spanish. His daughter, Susanne Escon, married the Hamburg born merchant Vincent von Kampe, who was known in Spain as Vicento del Campo. Juan Escon and Vicente del Campo appear together in a commercial document dated 1640 for Cadiz related merchandize[108]

An archival reference in the Barcelona Textile museum to "Instancia de Juan Escón y Alberto Martín pidiendo les devuelvan unas ropas apresadas" may be to the son of Juan Martin.[109] Certainly archival references in the Archivo General de Indias to Juan Escon are to his son ("Expediente de información y licencia de pasajero a indias de Juan Escon, mercader, natural y vecino de Cádiz, hijo de Juan Escon y de Margarita Enríquez").[110]

Juan Escon appears to be the hispanicisation of an English name. Until recently we had believed Juan Escon to have been a native Spaniard. It now appears that he was an English merchant, who was English consul in Cadiz in the 1620s, and who was involved with the English merchant Sir Benjamin Wright in financing the Spanish Crown in the 1630s and 1640s. We are keen to identify his English name, and to understand his family origins and commercial activities. Can you help us?

Juan Escon = Juan Escout. Source: Adolfo de Castro(2013)

Juan Escon had several sons by his wife Margarita Enriquez, who were thus the (Anglo-Spanish) brothers-in-law of Hamburg born Vincent von Kampe:

(1) Juan Escon Enriquez[111]

(2) Pedro Escon y Enriques[112]

According to Guadalupe Carrasco González (XXXX) D[on] Juan Escon represented the English in Cadiz in 1623 as English consul, and in 1628 the same Juan Escon was Cadiz consul for the English, Scottish and Irish ("En 1623, según un informe recabado por el Consejo de Estado, la nación británica estaba representada en Cádiz por un cónsul inglés (D. Juan Escon) y un cónsul escocés (D. Diego Carcade). Cinco años después, en 1628, D. Juan Escon uniría en su persona la representación de las tres naciones convirtiéndose en cónsul de ingleses, escoceses e irlandeses")[113]

Moreover, Ángel Alloza Aparicio, Juan Carlos Zofío Llorente (2013) name Juan Escon with a partner, Jofre Inkleton, and identify them as being of the "English" nation. The context is a list (as of 1638) of special licensees of Benjamin Ruit, who was the English merchant Sir Benjamin Wright, resident in Madrid. This list has been prepared by Ángel Alloza Aparicio, Juan Carlos Zofío Llorente (2013) from Spanish notarial protocols.[114]

Further sources of possible relevance include correspondence of the family "d'Escotte" of Westerlo in PItersheimin the Belgian national archives[115] and a reference to a "Francisco Escot" in the 'Archivo de la Corona de Aragón' from 1671.[116]. See also reference in Archivo General de Indias relating to the "Carta de Manuel de León sobre navíos de Terrenate y comercio extranjero", dated 1672. The metadata fro this record includes the statement "Francisco Junet, natural de Bisansán, y los que se hicieron en relación de darle puerto y entrada y sobre la venida de los navíos del embajador el reino de Banta y de Juan Escot, inglés que vino del mismo reino y cómo les dio puerto y entrada Diego de Salcedo."[117]

Adolfo de Castro (1857) provides background on the C17th Cadiz based "Escout" family, which appears to be synonymous with the family of Juan Escon and his successors, and which de Castro associates with the c. del Baluarte in Cadiz. He states in his entry for "BALUARTE (c. del) "A la mitad del siglo XVII se llamó de D. Juan Arnesto de Troya, regidor perpétuo que debió tener en esa calle las casas de su morada. En 1666 era concocida esta calle por de los Doblones, y en 1680 por de Juan de Escout. Este Juan de Escout obtuvo en 1637 cédula real para ejercer el cargo de cónsul de la natcion inglesa en Cádiz. Segun las actas del Ayuntamiento, en 1639 consiguió título de perpetuidad en su oficio por un donativo de cuatro mil reales hecho á S.M. En 1673 obtuvo un D. Juan del Campo y Escout título de regidor perpétuo de Cádiz. En mayo 26 de 1690 se concedió título de marquesa de Villa-Campo á doña Juana Escout y Enriquez. En instrumentos públicos aparece con el nombre de Baluarte de S. Felipe á mediados del siglo XVIII. D. Juan Escout y Margarita Enriquez habitaron en las casas del Torreon que debian hacer esquina á la plaza de este nombe. (Véase calle de la Aduana)...."[118]

Michael Van Lubkin, master of the Morning Starr, understood as of January 1653 that Dominigo Centurione was "a Spaniard liveing at Madrid, and Councellor to his Catholique Majestie and his principall ffactor or agent for the sending of goods wares and merchandizes from Spaine into fflanders for the supply of his said Majesties occasions there"[168] Michael Van Lubkin understood Centurione to be a Spaniard, rather than Flandrian.

Don Sebastian Cortizos [Don Sebastian da Cortizos; Sebastian Cortizos] - living at Madrid; Assentista

Antwerp merchant Henry George Mendez was the under paymaster general of the King of Spaine’s Army in fflanders. He deposed in October 1653 in support of Don Sebastian Cortizos in his claim for Spanish wool seized by the English. He stated that "he hath knowne the arlate Don Sebastian da Cortizos from his youth, and saith that he hath for twenty yeares now past bene and now is an Assentista of his Catholique Majestie the King of Spaine and doth furnish his sayd Majestie with moneyes for his occasions in Italy and fflanders";[169] He added that "the sayd Sebastian da Cortizo was and is a Spaniard borne and lives in Madrid where he was borne and hath in habited for theis 20 yeares last and indeed all his tyme, and was and is a subiect of the King of Spaine and so accounted"[170]

Henry George Mendez described the Allicant factors of Don Sebastian Cortizosis laded wool at Allicant on the Saint Augustine (Master: Simon Johnson Abaqaert) to be transported to Venice for delivery to Don Augustin de ffonseca, the proceeds whereof were to be used on behalf of the King of Spain in Italy and Flander[171]. The intended recipient of the wool was described as a Spaniard by birth, but living in Venice for the last sixteen years as a subject of Venice[172]

Carmen Sanz Ayán's paper (XXXX) on the Cortizos family provides insight into Spanish state finances in the mid-C17th[173]

Jonathan Israel (1990) identifies Sebastian Cortizos, alongside Fernando Montezinos and others as a major wool dealer in Spain in the 1640s and 1650s.[174]

The purser of the Sampson describes “Nicholas Paulo” as “an officer or agent for the treasury of the Santo Crusado” and states in support of the clain of the heirs of George da Etton Heard for their silver in the three Silver ships that the plate silver and money laded on the Sampson was ”for the account and risgo of one Nicholas Paulo.”[179] Furthermore, the steersman of the Morning Starr states that the widow and heirs of George da Ettonheard “have and enioy his office of the Crusado.”[180] Michael van Lubkin confirms this, saying it was common report that the widow and heirs “having the management of the Office of Crusado do furnish the King of Spaine from tyme to tyme with great quantities of sylver and moneyes for the service of his Armies and affaires in fflanders.”[181] Diego Maistre, servant in Seville to Flemmish merchant Jeronimo Brudgmans, describes the role of Paulo and the widows slightly differently. He states that Nicholas Paulo was “a factor for the Treasury of Madrid of which Treasury the sayd heires of George da Etton Heard were and are the principall masters and mannagers.”[182] However, this “Treasury” appears to be the Treasury of the Santo Crusado. The Antwerp correspondent of the widow and heirs was the merchant Lionel Coram.[183] Interestingly, Lionel Coram may have been an English Catholic merchant dealing in cloth. See Arblaster (2004), drawing on Roland Baetens (1976, I,231) and P.Voeten (unpub.licence thesis, KU Leuven, 1954, 98).

The office of the Crusado referred to by the purser of the Sampson, and the steersman and master of the Morning Starr, was most probably the “General Commission of Crusado” [ADD SPANISH TERMS]. Edward Clarke (1763) suggests that the General Commission of Crusado was a council… to raise revenue to the crown, under a pretence of levying a tax for crusading.”[184] This was done through the distribution of papaly granted bulls. According to Clarke the council was established in 1525 by Charles V of Spain. The subjects of the King of Spain were required annually to buy indulgences belonging to the bull of the Crusado through the device that priests would not offer absolution without presentation of the bull. The “Bull of the Crusado” was one of four bulls “granted by the fee of Rome to Spain exclusively”. Individuals could buy the bull of Crusado for two rials of plate as a substitute for serving personally in war against “the infidels” or sending soldiers to that service. Clarke states that “in the Indies, where money was to be had in great plenty, the price of this bullw as prostigious; it being sold for a pound of gold.” Contribution of money would grant “plenary indulgence” for the space of a year “so that a new one must be purchased annually by every individual.”[185]

According to Michael Lubkin, the factors lading the silver of the widow and heirs of George Etton Heard on board his ship were subiects of the King of Spain and had “the management of the Office of Crusado do furnish the King of Spaine from tyme to tyme with great quantities of sylver and moneyes for the service of his armies and affaires in fflanders, for which service the sylver now in question was designed.”[186]

Hans Pohl (1972; 2005) states that Jorge van Ettenarden [alt. Jorge Ettenarden] was a leading Paguista on behalf of the Spanish Crown, funding military and other expenditure in the provinces of Flanders and Brabant. Ettenarden appears to have been acting together with Juan Paulo Lavaña, on behalf of the Fugger merchant-banking family, at least in the 1630s.[189]

Carlos Álvarez Nogal (1997[A]) identifies "Jorge de Hetenard" as Flemish, whereas Hans Pohl (1972; 2005) presumes "Ettenarden" to be German. Nogal states that Jorge de Hetenard took over "la Tesorería General de la Cruzada" (Treasury of the Crusado) around 1643, its previous incumbent, the Madrid based Julio César Scazuola having died in 1639 and Scazuola's wife having continued as deputy Treasurer until 1643.[190] Prior to taking over as Treasurer, Nogal implies that de Hetenard was based in Flanders ("En Flandes trabajó habitualmente con Jorge de Hetenard")[191]

Carlos Álvarez Nogal (1997[A]) describes the financial and institutional relationship between branches of the German Fugger family and the Spanish state finances. He states that Madrid based Julio César Scazuola acted as factor for the Fugger banker family in the 1620s and 1630s. Scazuola's cashier in Madrid was Sebastián Esbingamer and in Seville Andrés de Labermayr dealt with payments to the Casa de la Contratación.[192]

Andrés de Labermayer, a Bavarian by birth from Berchtesgaden, arrived in Seville in 1613. He married an Italian, Ana Roca, and in 1627 applied for Spanish naturalization to be able to participate in trade with the Indies. One of his daughters, Mariana Labermayr, married Esteban Rivero, an important Seville merchant. [ADD TO THIS SECTION][193]

The Fugger Firms, 1560-1650' and Ch.5 'Servants and Masters: The personnel of the Fugger companies' are especially relevant as context for the Ettenharden involvement with the Fugger firms in Spanish and Flemish finance in the early to mid-C17th. Häberlein 's book is an English translation of the original German text Mark Häberlein (2006).[195] Häberlein is currently "Professor für Neuere Geschichte an der Universität Bamberg."

Carlos Álvarez Nogal (1997[B]) provides further information about Hetenard: "...Tesorero General de la Cruzada y el administrador de los negocios de Jorge Hetenard. Vatteville servía de contacto entre las tropas rebeldes de Francia y la Corona española. Felipe IV sabia que, mientras la revuelta de la Fronda siguiese viva, Flandes estaría en paz. Era por lo tanto muy importante apoyar la causa rebelde y no se dudó en emplear en esto una parte del dinero que había llegado de América..."[196] and "Sin embargo, los herederos de Jorge Hetenard, Duarte Díaz de Olivares y Salvador Váez Martínez entregaron letras que no fueron aceptadas en Flandes.

Tyrolean family origins of the ab Ettenhart(von Ettenhart] family

The Ettenhart family name appears in the Tirol region in the C16th in social elite circles, and indeed appears as early as the C13th in an Austrian context. Archival and C17th textual sources show intermarriage between Tirolean "ab Ettenhart [alt. Ettenhardt; Ettenharder] families and the Tirolean families "Troyer ab Auffkirchen" and "Geitzkhofler von Gailenbach [alt.Geitzkoflerin]" in multiple generations and multiple times.

An "Albero von Ettenhart" appears as a witness in an Austrian manuscript dated 1237 relating to the Benediktinerstift Altenburg. This is interesting given the 1647 record stating "Jorge de Etenhard Lustrerin Flamin y Schenchin, natural de Inspurg, Condado de Tirol"[199]

'Troyer ab Auffkirchen' family in R.P.F. Gabrielis Bucelini, Sacri Romani Imperii principum, comitum, baronum et equestris ordinis dynastarum stemmata et probabtiones in R.P.F. Gabrielis Bucelini, Pars Tertia, Germaniæ Topo-Chrono-Stemmatographicæ, Sacræ Et Prophanæ. Source: R.P.F. Gabrielis Bucelini, (1672)

The Spanish title of "caballero de la orden de Calatrava" was awarded to "Jorge de Etenhard" in March 1647; [200] A further archival record related to the award of this title describes Jorge de Etenhard as "Etenhard Lustrerin Flamin y Schenchin, natural de Inspurg, Condado del Tirol"[201]

This last archival record gives a strong clue as to the specific Tyrolian or Innsbruckian family Georg van Ettenhart alias Jorge de Etenhard came from. A volume published in 1672 gives the genealogy of the "Troyer ab Auffkirchen" family. Tracking back on the mother's side from Franciscus Antonius Troyer ab Aufkirchen Gremblen and Cispach is (1) His mother Anna Magd. de Wolfsthurn (2) Her father Rudolphus de VVolffsthurn and mother Anna ab Ettenhardt (sic) (3) As parents of Anna ab Ehrenhardt were Engelhard ab Ettenhart and Magdal. de Lustrier (4A) As parents of Englehard ab Ettenhart were Jodocus ab Ettenhardt (sic) and Catharina Flammin (4B) as parents of Magdal. de Lustrier were Michael de Lustrier and Anna Schenckin. The combination of the namess Ettenhardt, Flammin, Lustrier and Schenckin match exactly the Spanish archival record of Jorge de Etenhard's enoblement ("Etenhard Lustrerin Flamin y Schenchin, natural de Inspurg, Condado del Tirol"). We know from Joh. Thomas de Trattnern (1781) of "D. Engelhardus ab Ettenhart, fundatoris frater" and from Florian Schaffenroth, ed.(XXXX) containing a Latin letter dated 1654 of a "strenuus dominus Engelhardus ab Ettenhart." The strong likelihood, therefor is that George/Georgius ab Ettenhart was the son of Engelhard ab Ettenhart and Magdal. de Lustrier, and that his grandparents were Jodocus ab Ettenhardt (sic), Catharina Flammin, Michael de Lustrier, and Anna Schenckin.[202]

Ettenhart links to the Geizkofler and Troyer families

Zacharias Geizkofler von Gailenbach und Haunsheim (b.1560; d.1617) is the subject of a detailed entry in the online Deutsche Biographie by Ferdinand Blendinger (1964)[203] and a useful Wikipedia DE article.[204] Blendinger describes a talented youth who studies law at the universities of Padua, Ingolstadt, Basel and Straßburg following schooling at the Gymnasium von Sankt Anna in Augsburg. He completed his legal education at Bourges and at the Reichskammergericht in Speyer. In 1584 he entered the service of the Fugger family, as had four of his father's brothers, but left the Fuggers, with their consent, in 1585 to join the service of Erzherzog Ferdinand von Tirol. He came into close contact with the leading Habsburgs and his diplomatic skills were recognised by the Kaiser Rudolf II, who appointed him "Reichspfenningmeister des Heiligen Römischen Reichs" in 1589. The Geizkofler family archives in the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg contain correspondence with various members of the Fugger families from the 1680s through to Zacharias' death in 1617.[205]

The abovementioned sources state that Zacharis Geizkofler was an imperial councillor at the Bohemian Court ("königlicher Rat am böhmischen Hof"), Reichsritter and Freiherr. From 1597 until 1603 he was Generalproviantmeister of the Imperial army in Hungary. As Reichspfenningmeister from 1589 it was his responsibility to collect the moneys for the Empire which had been approved by the Reichstag. His banking connections were put to use in terms of organising bridging finance. In his later years, having been forced out of the position of Reichspfenningmeister, he continued to advise successive emperors and chancellors on imperial finances. His son Ferdinand Geizkofler von Gailenbach und Haunsheim (b.1592; d.1653) was a contemporary of Georg von Ettenart.[206]

Zacharias Geizkofler is likely to have been related to Georg von Ettenhart, probably in multiple ways. We are still working on the exact relationship, but suspect he may have been a much older first cousin through Georg's father's sister. It is of course interesting that Georg van Ettenhart, who served as a factor for Graf Fugger in the 1630s, and then as Treasuer of the Office of Crusado for the Spanish King, was related to a man who performed an important financing function for the Holy Roman Emperor.

A web based genealogical source suggests that Zacharias Geizkofler's mother was "Barbara Ettenharterin" (sic) and that Barbara's parents were "Josef Ettenharter" and "Magdalena Flam".[207] If true, then Zacharias' mother was the sister of Engelhard ab Ettenhart, the father of Georg von Ettenhart [alt. ab Ettenhart], and Zacharias Geizkofler himself was a much older cousin of Georg von Ettenhart. Zacharias' birth in 1560 would make him forty-four years older than Georg, with his death in 1617 at the age of fifty-seven occuring when Georg was roughtly thirteen years of age.

The above would start to explain how the young George von Ettenhart became a factor for Graf Fugger in his early thirties, as is discussed by Karl Pohl (1972, 2005). Zacharias Geizkofler was located in Augsburg and in his position as Reichspfenningmeister would have had excellent banking relationships with various German banking families, including the Fuggers. It is possible that documents in the Geizkofler family archive relating to Zacharias' son Ferdinand Geizkofler (b.1592, Augsburg; d.1653, Regensburg), a slightly older contemporary of Georg von Ettenhart, may contain references to Georg. These records are particularly rich for the period 1641-1646, when Ferdinand was württembergischer Statthalter.[208] A Wikipedia DE article on Ferdinand states that he was württembergischer Hofkanzleidirektor from 1644.[209] One document it would be interesting to inspect is the handwritten adressbook of Maria Polixenia Geizkofler, the widow of Ferdinand Geizkofler (née von Teuffenbach). The book dates from 1652 to 1654 and contains, according to archival metadata, "Titeln, die für Schreiben an Fürsten, Grafen, andere Adelige, Geistliche und Beamten zu gebrauchen sind (mit Nachträgen und Register)".[210]

It is possible that Engelhard ab Ettenhart, the putative father of Georg ab Ettenhart and his brother Engelhard ab Ettenhart, is the "Engelhard Ettenharder, tirolischer Kammerraitrat", who appears in an Geizkofler family archival record in the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg, within the Landesarchiv Baden--Württemberg dated 1616. This record is a letter in which Engelhard Ettenharder, tirolischer Kammerraitrat writes to Zacharias Geizkofler concerning the marriage of his cousin "Jobst Ettenharder", a "burgauischer Kuchlmeister", who was a relative of Zacharias Geizkofler's mother.[211]

We know from the Geizkofler family records in the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg that Zacharias Geizkofler was the son of Hans Geizkofler and Barbara Geizkofler,[212] and that Hans Geizkofler was "Münz- und Pfennigmeister des Erzbischofs zu Salzburg".[213] A further letter in the same archive is from "Barbara Geizkofler geb. Ettenharder " to her son Zacharias Geizkofler, showing that Zacharias mother was born "Ettenharder".[214] This explains why "Engelhard Ettenharder, tirolischer Kammerraitrat" wrote to Zacharias regarding the marriage of his cousin Jobst Ettenharder, describing the cousin as a relative of Zacharias' mother. A modern genealogical record states that a Barbara Ettenhart (b.ca.1535, Vürckhensee ) married Heinz Geizkofler (b. Mar. 23rd 1530, Sterzing) and that they had a child, Zacharias Geizkofler (b.ca.1560).[215]

A mid-C19th study of Austrian coinage examines the Geitzkhofler von Gailenbach family of Hausheim and Most in the Grafschaft Tyrol. This study states that Johann II. Geitzkhoffer (b.1530; m.1557; d.1581) was one of the twelve children of Hannsens I. Geitzkhoffer and Barbara Kuglerin. Johann II. Geitzkhoffer was the Salzburg mintmaster at the time of his death (Salzburgischer Münzmeister). His wife was Barbara von Ettenhart. A further related member of the family, Jörg Geitzkhoffer was the Joachimsthaler Münzmeister.[216] It remains to be established how, if at all, Barbara von Ettenhart is related to Georg von Ettenhart (b.1604, Innsbruck; d.1648, Madrid). Barbara was a common name, but we now have the archivally documented marriage of Salzburg mintmaster Hans Geitzkofler and Barbara Ettenharder, and an alleged marriage of a Barbara von Ettenhart to the Salzburg mintmaster Johann II. Geitzkhoffer.

A Wikepedia article on the Troyer (Adelsgeschlecht) states that Veronika von Ettenhart, daughter of Jobst (Jodok) von Ettenhart and Katharina Magdalena von Flamm married into the "Troyer von Kitzbühel" family through her marriage to Hans (1.) von Troyer, son of Christian von Troyer. If true (and it requires confirmation), this would make Veronika von Ettenhart Georg van Ettenhart's aunt and sister of his father, as well as sister of Barbara Geizkofler (née Ettenhart). The article states that Hans von Troyer moved to Klausen prior to his marriage and acquired country property at Ansheim bei Klausen. From 1546, the date of the "Adelung" (enoblement) of Hans von Troyer his family was known as the "Troyer von Ansheim". The Troyer family had come originally from Luxemburg in the C13th.[217]

The title of "caballero de la orden de Calatrava" was awarded to Francisco Antonio de Etenhard in 1648. This was possibly the son of Georg can Ettenhart, with the title being awarded in the year of his putative father's death in Madrid.[218] A A further archival record related to the award of this title states "Francisco Antonio Etenhard y Bandrés Lustrerin y Sola, natural de Madrid"[219]

The title of "caballero de la orden de Calatrava" was awarded to José Ignacio Etenhard y Morquecho, natural de Madrid in 1718[220]

Wikipedia DE states that "George von Ettenhart aus Innsbruck, königlich-spanischer Schatzmeister in Madrid" donated 5000 Gulden as a contribution to the replacement of the Franziskaner Kloster Hall in Tirol. For this gift, Von Ettenhart is recognised as the Kloster's founder. Franziskaner monks had been coming from Vienna to Hall in the Tirol as early 1473, and in 1635 the Franziskaner had acquired the Schebenegg property near the Inn river from Herr Pantaleon Schiestl von Liechtenthurn. It was this property which was replaced by the 1644 new build, the new building being necessitated by the frequent flooding of the original property. The new Kloster church was dedicated in 1648 to "Maria von den Engeln."[221]

Joh. Thomas de Trattnern (1781) describes in a Latin text the founding and development of the Franciscan monastery of Hall in the Tyrol. He provides biographical details of "D. Georgius ab Ettenhart" and refers briefly to his brother "D. Engelhardus ab Ettenhart, fundatoris frater."[222]

The Florian Schaffenroth, ed.(XXXX) edition of letters composed by Benedikt Stephani (b.1613; d.1672) contains a Latin letter dated 1654 from Benedikt Stephani to Father Laurentis Hoffmann [Pater Laurentius Hoffmann] in Kaisheim Stams, which mentions your "strenuus dominus Engelhardus ab Ettenhart";[223] It is unclear whether an associated note describes Engelhardus ab Ettenhart as the " supremus camerae secretarius."

Antonius Maria Schyrleus (1645) contains the following dedication: "Per Illustri Domino Georgio ab Ettenhart Equiti SRJ. necnon Catholicae Maiestatis ex in Hispania Cruciatae Thesaurario generalis Fr. Anton: Maria de Rheita Capucinus. Obseruantur et amoris ergo D.D. 1.6.4.5.". The book was published in 1645 in Antwerp, two years after Ettenhart had become Tesorero General de la Cruzada in Madrid. Speculatively, Ettenhart may have lived in Antwerp during the 1630s.

Symon ffonseca Pyna [alt. Pina; Symaon da ffonseca Pyna; Simon de Fonseca Pina] - living in Madrid; claimant; Jewish origins

Anthonio Estevan de Balderas, native of Madrid, but living at Lima in Peru, deposed that "Symon da ffonseca Pyna was and is a Spaniard and merchant of Madrid and there lives and keepes his howse and family and doth use to trade much for Cadiz to fflanders for sylver and hath his agents and factors in both those places for that purpose"[228]

ffrancisco Lopez, a merchant of Granada, deposed in January 1654 [CHECK DATE] that "Simon da ffonseca Pyna was and is a Spaniard a merchant inhabitant of Madrid an Assentista and subiect of the Kinge of Spaine a trader betwixt Cadiz and fflanders for sylver and other goods and hath his factors in those places for that trade and for and as such was and is accounted and for such hath bene knowne for theis 6 yeares to this deponent"[229]; ffrancisco Lopez added that "ffonseca Pyna is a Spaniard and for ten yeares and upwards hath lived in the streete of the [?Allkada] in Madrid with his family"[230]

Victoria Lincoln (1984), writing of Teresa of Avila, states that Teresa's grandfather came from a family in Toleda in Spain and was in the cloth treade. This first wife, namely Teresa's grandmother "came from a family which included the international financier Simon de Fonseca and Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca, the editor and chief translator of Cardinal Cisneros' Polyglot Bible, in which the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic might be compared with the Latin of St. Jerome."[231]

Vincent van Campen [alt. Vincent del Campo; Vincent von Kampen; Vincent von Kampe; Vincenz von Kampen; Viçente del Canpo (sic)] - living in Cadiz; part-owner of the Saint George of Hamburg and the Sampson of Lübeck; "Vincent da Campo and John de Windt[?s] live in the Woodstreet by the Porto da Sevillia in Cadize and the sayd ffrederick Bevia in the Saint ffrancis street in Cadize"[238]; Paulus Cobrisse stated in June 1653 that "the habitations of the sayd severall persons of this deponents knowledge have bene and are as followeth, videlicet Vincent Van Campen John de Windts and ffrederick Bevia have for theis eighteene yeares or thereabouts bene inhabitants of Cadize in Spayne. Daniel da Leon and Don Joseph ffrancisco Peralti inhabitants of Sevill for eighteene yeares, ffrancisco Panninq Robert Jacomo and Cornelius Leman inhabitants of Sevill for eight yeares past"[239]

"Vincent dal Campo" was owner of a one sixteenth part of the Amsterdam built but largely Hamburg owned ship the Saint John the Baptist (Master: Derrick Heytman), which was seized by the English in 1653, returning from Malaga. Other Hamburg merchant owners of the ship resident in Spain were Daniel Leon and ffrancis Panniq (sic), who each had a thirty-second share, together with "Christofer Bussel" ("a Hamburger living at Malaga").[240] Testimony shows this ship was involved in Mediterranean and Cadiz trade with Ostend and Dunkirk. See: All locations: owners of the Saint John Baptist

ffrancis Sloyer freighted the ship the Crowne Imperial (Master: Hans Meynerson) in July 1653 at Hamburg for Cadiz "to goe to Cadiz and carry barley, beanes and peece goods, which were laden by him and Peter [?Roodt], Derrick Dobbelar, Albert Ankelman, and other merchants of Hambourough”. At Cadiz delivered to “Daniel Sloyer, Vincent Van Campen, John Scrother and others, factors and merchants there residing"[241]

Jacques Filter - living at Seville; born at Hamburg; merchant

"1648 wurde Jacques Filter aus der bekannten Hamburger Familie naturalisiert"[242]

"AHPM, 8005-94, Madrid, 2-IV-1652. Poder de Carlos Coquel a Jacques Filter, vecino de Sevilla, para cobrar de Pedro van den Bergue lo que debia de alcance de una cuenta corriente. Tras la muerte de éste asumió el pago de las cantiades que dejó debiendo un tal Miguel van dem Berque, vecino de Courtrai. AHPM, 11.407-455, Madrid, 10-XII-1663."[243]

Fernando Serrano Mangas (1992) states "De entre todos los mercaderes que proveyeron jarcia para las Armadas y flotas destaca la compañía formada por Alberto Martín, vecino de Cádiz, y Jacques Filter, vecino de Sevilla. Ambos, flamencos, poseían un almacén en el puerto gaditano. Sus operaciones se concentran entre 1635 y 1642."[244]

William Jansen [alt. William Janson; William Johnson] - living in Seville; "by the Port of Sevill"; merchant and factor for Edward Peters in Antwerp (as is also Geraerl Ryper)[245] ; "by common repute William Jansen is by birth an Hamburgher, and hath many yeares lived with his wife and family in Cadiz[246]; "a Hamburger"[247]

Antonio de Leon - living possibly at Seville; identified together with "ffrancisco Panninck" by Francis Thoris, former bookkeeper to Anthony Upton in Seville, as an agent in Spain of Adrian Goldsmith, a Hamburg merchant in Antwerp; speculatively he was related to the Hamburg born, but Spanish resident merchant, Daniel de Leon.[248]

Daniell de Leon - living at Seville, but probably born in Hamburg; merchant; part-owner of the Sampson of Lübeck; Paulus Cobrisse stated in June 1653 that "the habitations of the sayd severall persons of this deponents knowledge have bene and are as followeth, videlicet Vincent Van Campen John de Windts and ffrederick Bevia have for theis eighteene yeares or thereabouts bene inhabitants of Cadize in Spayne. Daniel da Leon and Don Joseph ffrancisco Peralti inhabitants of Sevill for eighteene yeares, ffrancisco Panninq Robert Jacomo and Cornelius Leman inhabitants of Sevill for eight yeares past"[249]

Secondary sources state he was a Flemish merchant resident in Seville as early as 1637, and appears to have been naturalised in Spain[250]; however, archival metadata for the content of a record from the Archivo General de Indias dated 1650 states "Expediente de información y licencia de pasajero a Indias de Daniel de León, mercader, natural de Hamburgo y vecino de Sevilla, hijo de Joaquín Suitquer y de Margarita Brandes, a Tierra Firme. Incluye relación mercadurías" [Information file and license passenger Indies Daniel de Leon, merchant, born in Hamburg and resident of Seville, son of Joaquin Suitger and Margarita Brandes, to the mainland. It includes merchandises relationship].[251] Taken at face value, Daniel de Leon is therefore an adopted Spanish name for the son of [CHECK] the Hamburg merchant Joachim Suitger and Margarita Brandes [probably also from a Hamburg family].

“DANIEL, LEÓN.- “De nación alemán, vecino de Sevilla; exceptuado en dicha fecha de la anulaciónde naturalezas por estar casado con natural, tener blenes raices y haber servido a S.M. con barcos para lievar bastimentos al ejércíto de Cataluña”[252]

Otto George, master of the Sampson, confirmed that "Vincent van Campen, Daniel Lione, and ffrancis Panninck were and are all natives of Hamborow", although each of them, together with John de Windt Robert Jacomo and Cornelis Lemmons "have longe lived in Spaine namely every one at least fifteene yeares and the others more".[253]
l
The London merchant John Wilmott confirmed that Daniel de Leon and ffrancisco Paninque were located at Seville, stating in support of a claim made by the former Seville resident Christopher Boone that: "the sayd Christopher Boone did in the yeares 1653 and 1654 by his Agents Mr Anthony Upton and Company deliver to Daniel de Leon and ffrancisco Paninque Agents of the arlate Adrian Goldsmith at Sivill or his use and Accompt goods and effects of a very great value"[254]

There is a record from the Archivo General de Indias, dated 1658, stating "Número 4.- Autos del año de 1658. En 5 ramos:....5. Autos del capitán Luis Fernández de Luna, con Francisco Panique y Daniel de León, vecino de Sevilla, sobre que le pagasen lo que le restaban deber del precio en que les había vendido la nao 'La Bendición de Dios y San Antonio', a que salió el Hospital y Convento de la Paz, de la Orden de San Juan de Dios, como cesionario del referido Luis Fernández de Luna"[255]

Interestingly, there is a record from the Archivo General de Indias, dated 1671, for an Isidro Carlos Antonio de León "mercader, vecino de Cádiz, hijo de David Brandes y de Susana Antonia León.[256] A secondary source, citing a Spanish primary source, states "Enrique Lepin, casado con Susanna Antonia de León, hija de Daniel de León y Beatriz Beruben (AGI Indil. 596 B. Hay ottos varios analogos)."[257]

For what it is worth, a Daniel Brandes appears in the Staatsarchiv Hamburg in an entry dated 1631, recording a loan made by Daniel Brandes as a shipowner to Peter Tamm ["15.02.1631: 1400 Reichstaler, Daniel Brandes als Schiffsreeder des Peter Tamm, rückzahlbar nach 1 Jahr nebst 84 Reichstalern".[258]; Moreover, Jorun Poettering identifies "Daniel Brandes & Jeronimus Schnitker" in business together [NEED TO LOOK AT CONTEXT IN BOOK][259] Martin Reissmann, possibly from the same source as Poettering, states "Daniel Brandes und Jeronymus (sic) Schnitker vertrauten - ebenfalls 1645 - eine Ladung von 45 Tönnchen „Kaufmannschaft" im Wert ..."[260]; Reissmann has a different spelling of Schnitker in a table titled 'Handelsfirmen mit Umsätzen von mehr als 100 000 Mk' in which he lists "Brandes Daniel u. Schnitquer (sic) Jeronymus...".[261]

Pedro Lois - living at Cadiz; factor of the Antwerp merchant Edward Peeters

George Boschaert states in support of the claim of Edward Peters [alt.Peeters] for silver on the XXX that "he person designed by the two letters interrate was and is one Pedro Lois, whom this deponent well knoweth to be a factor at Cadiz to and for the said producent and a Hamburgher borne"[262]

According to Anthony Lewis, the Antwerp based cashier and book keeper for Edward Peters [alt.Peeters] "Peter Lois" was one of Michael Peeters three factors and agents in Cadiz ("William Jansen John Lamotte, and one Peter Lois ffactors and agents of the said producent")[263]

David Molanstein [alt. Molenstein; Mollenstein; Molenstein] - Michael Perry Severino deposed in June 1653 in support of a claim made by George Boschaert; he named David Molanstein to be one of three factors or agents of Bosschaert living in Cadiz, the other two being Maximilian da [?Hogha] and ffrancis de la Sierpe. Whereas da [?Hogha] was, acording to Perry Severino, from Ipres, and ffrancis de la Sierpe from Dunkirk, he stated "the said David Molanstein of Hamburgh"[264]

Juan Motte - living at Seville, but born in Hamburg; former servant and cashier to Hamburg merchant Arnold Woulters, when Woulters was living in Seville; Juan Motte stated in December 1653, in support of a claim by Arnold Woulters for silver shipped on the Angell Michael at San Lucar for Woulters account in Hamburg, that "Arnold Woulters was and is an Hamburgher borne and for such commonly accounted this deponent himselfe being a native of the same place And further saith that the sayd Arnold Woulters in the sayd moneth of November 1652 and att the tyme of the lading of the sayd sylver and money respectively as aforesaid and for six yeares before or thereabouts was and is an inhabitant of Hamburgh. and that for about 11 yeares next before he lived in Sevilia in Spayne as a merchant stranger this deponent being his servant and cashier for the reatest part of the sayd 11 yeares. And that the producent for about 6 or 7 yeares last past hath bene and is burgher of Hamburgh, and for all his tyme hath bene and is a subiect of the free State of Hamburgh"[265]; interestingly Juan Motte was the cousin german of Arnold Woulters, saying "he is by birth an Hamburgher and an Inhabitant of Sevilia in Spaine. and is the producents [Arnold Woulter] cousin german"[266]

Kellenbenz (1954) states of the "De Motte" family that "Der Wallone David Motte stammte aus Moucron. Sein Emigrantenweg führte ihn zunächst nach KölnL: dort wurde er 1589 in die Église Walonne aufgenommen. Später siedelte er nach Hamburg über, 1596 wird er als Ancien der auf Hamburg und Stade sich verteilenden wallonischen Gemeinde erwähnt." Kellenbenz details Dabid Motte's innvolvement in Iberian trade. He identifies a David Motte der jüngere who warried Johanna de Schot ca. 1618, but died shortly afterwards. The younger David Mott had two brothers, Pieter and Abraham Motte, and a brother-in-law, Hermann Crop, who was also involved in Iberian trade.[267]

Kellenbenz (1954) states that Johanna de Schoott, the wife of David Motte, was the sister of Anthony de Schott and Leonard de Schott, who were sons of Hans de Schott. Kellenbenz states that the family "De Schott" came from Antwerpen, linking Hans de Schott in an undefined way to "Johan Schot, Bruder des Franz Schot, Wolltuchhändlers in Antwerpen"[268] and implies that Hans de Schott came from Antwerpen to Hamburg. "Als Hans de Schot nach Hamburg kam, muß er schon mit Catharina Anselmo verheiratet gewesen sein. 1596 wird sein Name zum erstenmal erwähnt." Kellenbenz cites evidence of de Schot's involvement in Iberian trade, including his links "mit dem Kreis Anselmo". According to Kellenbenz Hans de Schott moved later to Stade, and remarried there in 1620 to Adriane Pels, shortly before his death. Kellenbenz notes the strong Iberian business of the brothers Anthony and Leonard de Schott in the early 1620s, citing data from the Hamburg bank. However, their firm failed "als kurz vor 1630 das Unternehmen von Anthony und Leonard de Schot zusammengebrochen war und sich ein kaiserliches Moratorium bemühten. erklärten sie, daß sie vor dem Konkurs viele Jahren nach Spanien und Portugal "große Nehotien" gehabt und dem spanischen König mit vielen Schiffen "große Zufuhr von allerhand ammunition getan" hätten. Kellenbenz concludes that the De Schott brothers were supplying arms to Spain in support of its war with the United Provinces, which had broken out again in 1621. However, piracy had caused great losses ao that they "endlich von der Borsa sich absentieren und mit ihren Creditoren in einen Accord eintreten müssen". Prior to bankruptcy, the de Schott brothers had had to supend payments in 1627. A number of other Hamburg firms engaged in Iberian trade appear to have failed at the same time. Kellenbenz had access to the "Konkursakten", and states, from inspection of these documents, that "de Schot nicht nur die südlichen Niederlande, sondern auch England mit iberischen Importwaren belieferten." Kellenbenz cites as his source Reichskammergericht documents, which presumably contain the Konkursakten[269]

A Reichskammergericht case (1620-1637, 1644-1657) was brought by the "Erben des Walter de Hertoghe und des Abraham Boots, curatores bonorum der Brüder Anton und Leonhard de Schott in Hamburg". The defendants were "Ulrich, Carl, Cäcilie und Elisabeth Lippoldt (Lupolt) in Hamburg", "David Motte (der Jüngere), für sich und seine Mutter Johanna de Schott", and the merchant Jacques Budier, "sämtlich als Erben beziehungsweise Rechtsnachfolger des Ulrich Lippoldt (der Ältere) und anderer Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott in Hamburg und Amsterdam." The case included a dispute about the prioroity of the demands of the defendants "aus einer Vormundschaftsverwaltung, um die Anfechtung eines Vergleichs unter den Gläubigern der 1627 fallierten Brüder de Schott und um die Haftung des Walter de Hertoghe, des Abraham Boots und des Antonio Saraiva Coronel als curatores bonorum der Falliten de Schott wegen einer angeblichen Schadlosversprechung für die Gläubiger bei Übernahme der Fallitmasse." The accompanying documentation includes "Testamente von 1620 und 1622 des Johann de Schott in Stade; Testament von 1625 des Ulrich Lippoldt, Kaufmann in Hamburg; Vergleich über die Befriedigung der Forderungen der Gläubiger sowie die vorausgehenden Verhandlungen 1627-1628; Vertrag von 1628 der Hamburger Kaufleute Bartholomäus und Wilhelm Engelbrecht mit Leonhard de Schott über die Befriedigung von Gläubiger-Forderungen; Kaiserliches Moratorium von 1629 für die Bezahlung der Schulden der Brüder de Schott; Schuldverschreibungen, Quittungen, Geschäftsbriefe, Bilanzen, Schuldaufstellungen und Vollmachten zur Erwirkung eines Arrests aus der Zeit 1627-1630; Verpflichtung von 1629 der curatores bonorum der Falliten de Schott, die Gläubiger bei Verpfändung ihres Hab und Guts zufriedenzustellen sowie zahlreiche ähnliche Verpflichtungserklärungen anderer curatores bonorum aus der Zeit 1620-1628"[270]

ffrancisco [?Pennincg?r] [alt. Francisco Panique; ffrancisco Paninque; ffrancis Panniq; ffrancisco Panninck] - living in Spain for at least fifteen years prior to November 1652, but native of Hamburg, according to Otto George; resident in Seville; merchant and factor; part-owner of the Sampson of Lübeck; Paulus Cobrisse stated in June 1653 that "the habitations of the sayd severall persons of this deponents knowledge have bene and are as followeth, videlicet Vincent Van Campen John de Windts and ffrederick Bevia have for theis eighteene yeares or thereabouts bene inhabitants of Cadize in Spayne. Daniel da Leon and Don Joseph ffrancisco Peralti inhabitants of Sevill for eighteene yeares, ffrancisco Panninq Robert Jacomo and Cornelius Leman inhabitants of Sevill for eight yeares past"[271]

Antonio Domínguez Ortiz identified a "Francisco Panique" as being naturalised [CHECK CORRECTLY TRANSLATED] in Spain in 1654, followed in 1656 by "Juan de Bint o Vint"[272]. Georges Scelle identifies a "Francisco Panique" as a "créole espagnol" in the context of the Assentio for trading of slaves.[273]

There is a record in the Archivo General de Indias within the folder containing Pleitos de la casa de contratacion identifying a Francisco Panique and Gabriel de León as residents of Sevilla in a lawsuit dated 1657 brought by a fellow Sevilla resident Luis Fernández de Luna.[274]; mentioned in Enriqueta Vila Vilar in list of C17th Seville merchants as "1078. PANIQUE, Francisco: 1651, 1654-1656; 1660"[275] There is a further reference in the Archivo General de Indias, dated 1658, stating "Autos del capitán Luis Fernández de Luna, con Francisco Panique y Daniel de León, vecino de Sevilla, sobre que le pagasen lo que le restaban deber del precio en que les había vendido la nao 'La Bendición de Dios y San Antonio', a que salió el Hospital y Convento de la Paz, de la Orden de San Juan de Dios, como cesionario del referido LuisFernández de Luna"[276]

A Hans Panninck "Kaufman in Hamburg" is listed against the year 1504 in a German secondary source.[277]. A "Michel Paninck" is described with others as "Hamburger Reedern" in a Danzig archival record dating from 1551 or court case between the FDanziger Rat and an Englishman, in a case concerning non-payment of tolls.[278]

Francis Thoris, the former book keeper to the English merchant and factor in Seville, Anthony Upton, was the Seville correspondent of Christopher Boone back in London. Thoris stated that "Antonio de Leon and ffrancisco Panninck" were the Spanish agents (possibly based in Seville) of Adrian Goldsmith and made a bargain with Anthony Upton in Seville on behalf of Goldsmith.[279] The London merchant John Wilmott confirmed that Daniel de Leon and ffrancisco Paninque were located at Seville, stating in support of a claim made by the former Seville resident Christopher Boone that: "the sayd Christopher Boone did in the yeares 1653 and 1654 by his Agents Mr Anthony Upton and Company deliver to Daniel de Leon and ffrancisco Paninque Agents of the arlate Adrian Goldsmith at Sivill or his use and Accompt goods and effects of a very great value"[280] Anne Blondé lists as Mayordomos in Seville for 1647 "Francisco Pannique (sic), Roberto Jacome" and for 1649 "Francisco Paninque, Roberto Jacome"[281]

John Roopke [alt. Ropke] - living in Seville; native of Hamburg; merchant stranger at Seville for last six years; John Martinsdorp, master of the Saint George, stated that "John Ropke arlate was and is a native of Hamburgh and for all his tyme till within six yeares now past hath dwelt att Hamburgh, and for theis six yeares or thereabouts hath lived att Sevill in Spaine as a merchant stranger, which this deponent knoweth being an Hamburgher and well acquainted with the sayd John Roopke"[282]' Speculatively John Roopke (alt. Ropke) may be related to Daniel Ropke, merchant of Hamburg

Joachim Schaez - living at Cadiz; laded silver into the Morning Starre at Cadiz as an agent of the Antwerp merchant Augustine Lambert, together with ffrancisco de la Sierpe [alt Seirpe][283]; Michaell Van Lubkin, master of the Morning Starre, claimed to know him and stated that he was "an Hamburgher"[284]

Joachim Schaer - living probably at San Luar; known to San Lucar resident Juan Stuten Paep to be lving at San Lucar for eight years (as of late 1653)[285]; Schaer was a factor for Hamburg merchant Conrado Esser, who lived at San Lucar himself from ca. 1641 to ca. 1650, before returning to Hamburg[286]; Juan Stuten Paep stated that "Schaer is an Hamburgher and for about eight yeares hath lived att Saint Lucar where his howse is upon or neare the Strand. and he lived before all his tyme by repute att Hamburgh, where the producent allsoe liveth as aforesayd in his howse neare the Mill bridge"[287]; Juan Stuten Paep added that "about two yeares now past the sayd Joachim Schaer receyved in severall shipps from Hamburgh and fflanders severall quantities of linnen cloth wax and other goods the particulars whereof names of the shipps wherein they were so sent or value of the sayd goods he knoweth not; and the sayd Joachim Schaer hath told this deponent that he had generall order to remitt the sayd goods in sylver to the producent upon all fair opportunityes"[288]

John Scrother - living at San Lucars

John Stootenpape, a San Lucar resident factor, stated in November 1653 that he had known John Scrother to have resided at San Lucars for six or seven years and to have acted as factor for the Hamburg merchant Hans Lemmerman and other Hamburg merchants[289] John Stootenpape added that John Scrother was "a batchelor and a Hamburgher borne"[290]; Stootepape stated that "residing at Saint Lucar in Spaine and familiarly acquainted and daily conversing with the allate John Scrother, hee this deponent heard him severall times say and declare That according to letters of advise which hee had received over land from Hamburgh from the allate widow and heires of Hance Lemmerman deceased, hee did expect the arrivall of the shipp the Black Cock allate (whereof John ffransen Haen was Master) laden with pipestaves and clapboards for the accompt of the said widdow and heires, and by them consigned to the said John Scrother their ffactor or Agent to be by him sold or disposed of to their best advantage"[291]; John Scrother was also San Lucar factor for Hamburg merchants John Baptista Hertogh and Cornelis de Hertogh

Peter Scholenburgh deposed in March 1653 that John Scrother loaded goods on board the Black Cock for the account of the two Hertoghs[292]

John Scrother made his own claim in the English Admiralty Court for sherry he had laded on the Black Cock. Hamburg merchant, Jacob Wigandi, also deposed a few months later, in November 1653, in support of John Scrother's claim on the Blacke Cock. Wigandi stated that "John Scrother is a Hamburger borne, and hath for 5. yeares last past of this deponents knowledge of him by correspondence resided as a ffactor for Hamborough merchants at Saint Lucar in Spaine, by meanes of which his residence hee was and is a subject of the king of Spaine, and in that regard caused the bill of lading predeposed to be made in the pretended name of Diederick Cordes a burgher of hamborough, purposely to ffree the said wines from the ffrench"[293]

The Hamburg merchant Jacob Wigandi stated in November 1653 that John Scrother was "a Hamburger borne, and hath for 5. yeares last past of this deponents knowledge of him by correspondence resided as a ffactor for Hamborough Merchants at Saint Lucar in Spaine, by meanes of which his residence hee was and is a subject of the king of Spaine"[294]

ffrancis Sloyer freighted the ship the Crowne Imperial (Master: Hans Meynerson) in July 1653 at Hamburg for Cadiz "to goe to Cadiz and carry barley, beanes and peece goods, which were laden by him and Peter [?Roodt], Derrick Dobbelar, Albert Ankelman, and other merchants of Hambourough”. At Cadiz delivered to “Daniel Sloyer, Vincent Van Campen, John Scrother and others, factors and merchants there residing"[295]

Daniel Sloyer the younger had part-ownership of the Saint George with his brother ffrancis [alt. Franz] Sloyer[297]

Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer, both merchants of Hamburg, freighted the ship the Saint Paul of Hamburg (Master: Hendrick Luck) to go in ballast from Lubeck, where she had been built, to Dronten in Norway to take in a lading of 6000 deals on behalf of Harman Rayndorp and ffrancis Sloyer "and carried and delivered them at Cadiz to Daniel Sloyer brother of the said ffrancis for accompt of the said Hance Reynsdorp and ffrancis Sloyer[298]

Roland Baetens mentions in a footnote "Diego Maestre ( = de Meester, jij heeft eeem zuster Catherina te Brugge)"[328]; Diego Mestre, or Don Diego Mestre, appears to have been the son of "Don Toussain de Meester" and "Magdalena Aernouts", both born in Bruges [Brugge].

There is a contemporary report of a visit to Bruges in 1676 by "Pedro-Ignatio Van de Velde, alias del Campo...in opdracht van Don Diego Maestre, kapitein van Sevilla, om de dokumenten van zijn [Don Diego Maestre] adeldom te verzamelen"[329]; a modern source states "Don Diego Maestre, son of Toussain de Meester of Bruges, became a naturalised citizen of Seville in 1683"[330]. Pedro-Igantio Van de Velde, alias del Campo, was the brother of Jacobus Van de Velde (alias Don Diego del Camp), both of whom were the sons of Diego Maester's sister, Catherine de Meester, and her husband Gabriel Van de Velde (b.1621, d.1658)[331]

There is a portrait of "Don Diego Maestre" by "Bartolome Esteban Murillo" at "Colección viuda de Maestre en Sevilla (Sevilla)"[332]; a catalogue of XX lists "461. DON DIEGO MAESTRE. D. Nicolas Maestre, Seville. A portrait of Captain Diego Maestre. Full length, life-size. Companion to No. 480. 2.01X1.06. This portrait and its companion are said to have been painted for, and they still remain in the possession of the Maestre family."[333] and "480. DONA MARIA FELICES. Don Nicolas Maestre, Seville. Portrait of a lady. Full length, life-size. Companion to No. 461. 2.01X1.06."[334] For genealogical nformation on the Maestre family see : APARICIO Y APARICIO, Edgar Juan, Marqués de Vistabella, La Familia Maestre, en: Revista de la Academia Guatemalteca de Estudios Genealógicos, Heráldicos e Históricos Nº 5-6, Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción, 1971-1972, pp. 362-363.

A modern secondary source on the Maestre family states: "Los MAESTRE proceden de Flandes; su fundador en España, fue el capitán Diego Maestre830, quien se estableció en Sevilla durante el reinado de Carlos II y en dicha ciudad fundó dos Mayorazgos, fue caballero veinticuatro de Sevilla y obtuvo Ejecutoria de Hidalguía ante la Real Chancillería de Granada. Los Maestre tuvieron su Casa Palacio en Sevilla, en la calle de San Isidoro, y en la iglesia parroquial, bajo la advocación de dicho santo, fundaron la Capilla, hasta la fecha conocida por la del Cristo de la Sangre, que a su vez fue enterramiento de los miembros de esta estirpe. El capitán Diego Maestre casó en primeras nupcias con doña Ana Mahieu y Medina y en segundas nupcias con doña María Felices Medina. Del primer matrimonio nació don Juan Antonio Maestre y Mahieu, de cuyo matrimonio con doña Josefa Mahieu o Mahius nació don Francisco Javier Maestre y Mahieu, quien casó con doña Ignacia María Fuentes y García Rebollar, de cuyo matrimonio nació don Juan Antonio Maestre y Fuentes, quien casó con doña Narcisa Tous de Monsalve y Fernández de Henestrosa831, siendo padres de doña Ignacia Maestre y Tous de Monsalve, abuela materna del doctor Montúfar."[335]

A modern genealogical source states that Don Diego Maestre was born "Jacques de Meester" in 1628 and died in 1701. This birth date of 1628 is consistent with the age of twenty-four which Doego Mestre gives in 1653 when he is deposed in the English High Court of Admiralty. The source states that his father, Toussain de Meester, died in 1652, and that his mother, Madeleine Aernouts, died in 1659. The source states that he had an elder sister named Catherine de Meester (b. 1623, d.1697), who married Gabriel van der Velde (b.1621, d.1658) on August 9th 1653.

The modern genealogical source states that Jacques (Don Diego Maistre) de Meester married twice. Firstly, on May 26th 1662 in Seville with Ana Mahuiz y de Medina MAHUIZ (b.1642, d.1665). By this first marriage he had one son named Juan Antonio Maestre y Mahuiz MAESTRE (b.1665, d.1710). Secondly, on June 16th 1666 in Seville, with Maria de Felices y Medina de FELICES (b.1638, d.1701). By the second marriage he had two sons (1) José Felipe Maestre y Felices MAESTRE (b.1667 d.1729) (2) Pablo Francisco Maestre y Felices MAESTRE (b.1668 d.1686)[336]

The same genealogical source describes Jaques de Meester's father, Toussain de Meester, as "Marguillier de l'église Notre-Dame à Bruges. Charpentier. Page du grand-duc de Toscane", and states that he was born and died in Bruges. Toussain de Meester's father is given as Jean de Meester, voir poliorcètes 1533-1608 (Ingénieur au service de l'Archiduc Albert), and his mother as Anne Drion (d.1602). Jacques de Meester's mother is named as Madeleine Arnouts, who is stated to be the daughter of Jan Aernouts and Adriana Keller.[337]

John [?Stoten Papa] [alt. Stootenpape; Juan Stueten Paep] - living at Saint Lucar, but born at Neer in the principality of Liege; John Stueten Paep stated in late 1653 that "he was borne att Nair in Lakeland and liveth as a merchant stranger sometymes in Spayne sometymes in fflanders as occasion offerrs without any fixed abode"[338]; in December 1653, John Stootenpape stated that in October 1652 he had been at Sanint Lucar in Spaine "where hee hath for the most part of 11. or 12. yeares last resided".[339]; merchant; usually trades in wines; subject of King of Spain; Francisco de Bois knew him to be living there for ?XXX years;[340] "borne in the Towne of [?Nora] within the principality and dominion of [?Leige] and that he is a batchelor"[341]; self-described "being a Wynecooper by profession and trade"[342]

"John Stootenpape" was a witness in a separate case concerning the claim of the widow and heirs of Hans Lemmerman, a Hamburg merchant, for their goods in the Black Cock. In his deposition in November 1653 this case, John Stootenpape described himself as a "native of Neer in the Principalitie of Liege or Luyck Merchant aged 33. yeares", and stated that he had been resident in Saint Lucars in Spain "in or about the moneth of January 1652 (new style) and for some moneths before and since" and also in August, September and October 1652[343]; Stootenpape stated in November 1653 that although a native of the principlality of Liege "he hath lived at Saint Lucar aforesaid for the most part of twelve yeares last pastXXX[344]

"John Stootenpape" was a witnes on behalf of John Scrother for his goods in the Black Cock. Stootenpape stated in December 1653 that he had been at Saint Lucar in October 1652 "where hee hath for the most part of 11. or 12. yeares last resided"[345]

"Jeronimo Brudgmans" sold silver he procured in Cadiz to Nicholas Paulo, the factor of the Madrid based heirs of the deceased George Etton Heard, who were the "principall masters and mannagers" of the Spanish King's Treasury in Madrid. Hans Pohl (2005) identifies a Jorge van Ettenarden [alt. Jorge Ettenarden] in the accounts of the Pagador general del ejército in the (Spanish) Netherlands from the years 1633-1634 as a Paguista, transferring large sums of money in support of the Spanish administration in the Spanish Netherlands. He presumes that Ettenarden was German, and notes that he was transferring money on behalf of the Fugger family of merchant bankers.[351]

The familiearchiev of 'familie PEETERS d'AERTSELAE' has a document dated June 28th 1683 mentioning Hieronimus Brudgmans linked to the church of Sint Jacob [in Antwerp]: "Copy tot den protocolle der stadt Antwerpen", "Copye van de fondatie gedaen bij ons vader saligh in St. Jacobs kercke ten lasten vant selve capittel".

Verdeling van de gelden zoals o.a. renten en obligaties." (Item: P.2/44.0.0)[352]

The same familiearchiev has a further entry dated June 12th 1683: "De Deken en Capittel van de Collegiale kerk van St Jacob geven volmacht aan Hieronimus Brugmans om hen te vertegenwoordigen bij de schepenen van Antwerpen. Er dient een akte opgemaakt te worden waarin we wekelijkse missen beschreven staan ter nagedachtenis van Wijlen Eduard Peeters. Voor deze missen moet er een distributie van 12 broden gebeuren binnen de voornoemde kerk.[353]

There appears to be a secondary reference to "BRUGMANS, BRUGHMANS, Hiëronimus, Gerinimo, Jeronimus, licentiaat rechten, kanunnick en koordeken Sint-Jacobskerk"[354]; imployed Diego Maestre as his servant[355]

There is a tantalising web sourced reference in the Familiefonds Maertens de Noorthout, stating; "...Despomeraux, heren van Boom, aan Hieronimus Brugmans, deken collegiale kerk van Sint-Jacob, 27 september 1688 MDN/94 Stukken inzake het testament ..."[356]. This comes from metadata, which in full reads: "MDN/93 Stukken van de verkoop van een huis Jongelincx Hoff aan de Merckgrave Leye te Antwerpen, door de erfgenamen van George Bosschaert en Marie Anna Despomeraux, heren van Boom, aan Hieronimus Brugmans, deken collegiale kerk van Sint-Jacob, 27 september 1688" and comes immediately before the further metadata: "MDN/94 Stukken inzake het testament van Hieronimus Brughmans, licentiaat in beide rechten, + 20.6.1700; 1692, 1697 en 1712"[357]

June 1651;[406] "commonly accompted a Dunquirker borne";[407] living in Cadiz for at least seven years[408]; living at Cadiz for at least last twelve yeares "his howse is neere the ffranciscans College or Cloyster"[409]; John Moller, George Boschaert's cashier in Antwerp, had lived in Vcadiz and knew ffrancis de la Sierpe. He stated in June 1653 that "when this deponent lived at and came from Cales as aforesaid about two yeares since the said ffrancis de la Sierpe dwelt there neare Saint Philips and Peter Johnson the yonger in the fflemish streete and kept their families there"[410]

However, John de Vos states that "ffrancisco de La Seirpe...was and is a Spaniard and a subiect of the King of Spaine"[411]; Laded silver into the Morning Starre at Cadiz as an agent of the Antwerp merchant Augustine Lambert, together with Joachim Schaerz[412]; Michaell van Lubkin, like John de Vos, claims to have known "ffrancisco de la Seirpe" and states that he is "a Spaniard and soe accompted", whereas Joachim Schaez was "an Hamburgher"[413]; The London merchant Peter Mathewes, brother of Baldwin Mathewes, merchant of Ghent in Flanders, stated that he "hath knowne the interrate francisco del La [?Swirpe] for about 9. or 10. yeares last by the like correspondencie in merchandizing affaires". Moreover, according to Peter Mathewes "La [?Sierpe] is commonly accompted a dunquirker borne, and hath for all or most of the time interrate lived at Cadiz in Spaine"[414]. Robert Demetrius, apprentice and cashier of London merchant James Stanier, is alone in stating that "ffrancisco de la Sierpe...is by report a fflandrian borne att Ostend"[415]

Peter vanderbergh [alt. Peter Vanderbeck] - living in Spain for sixteen years prior to his death; deceased; ?merchant; named by deponent Paulus Cobrisse as a one eighth part-owner of the Sampson of Lübeck from its first building until his death two years ago (i.e. ca.1651), and that his share was bought by Cornelius Leyman from his heirs; Cobrisse stated that Peter Vander beck was borne att Courtrey [Kortrijk] in fflanders, and of this deponents knowledge lived sixteene yeares next before his death in Spaine[416]

John de Windt [alt. John de Vint; Juan de Vint; Jan de Wint; Joan de Vint; ?Julio de Vint] - living in Cadiz; part-owner of the Sampson of Lubeck

Laded "one hundred and ten sackes of woolls" at Cadiz onto the Sampson, eighty six by order of Domingo Centurion "an Assentist of factor" of the King of Spain, and the other twenty-four by order of Andreas da [?Allegria] "likewise assentissa of his sayd Majestye", "all of them consigned to Jacques Swarez att Ostend"[417]; a "Merchant Agent" at Cadiz for the King of Spain[418]

"Vincent da Campo and John de Windt[?s] live in the Woodstreet by the Porto da Sevillia in Cadize and the sayd ffrederick Bevia in the Saint ffrancis street in Cadize"[419]. Identified by Beatriz Cárceles de Gea as "Joan de Vint"[420]; according to Otto George John de Windt was a native of "Cortrijke in fflannders"[421]

Margarita García-Mauriño Mundi (1999) states that "María de Lila y Valdés" was the wife of the Dunkirk born merchant Pedro Colarte and the sister-in-law of Juan de Vint, who is described as "regidor perpetuo del cabildo municipal de Cádiz, Caballero de la Orden de Calatrava y su protector desde que llegó a la península.
[422]

Stanley J. Stein, Barbara H. Stein (2003) state that Pedro Colarte arrived in Spain with letters of introduction to the Flemish merchant Juan de Vint and suggests that he probably sailed to America "as Vint's encomendero-factor."[423]


Witnesses and others living in Flanders and Brabant

Witnesses living in Flanders and Brabant: A - E


Joos Arnoult of Dunkerke - living in Dunkirk; merchant; aged twenty-nine or thirty; witness[424]; Joos Arnout testified in support of the claim of ffrancis du Boys for silver he consigned to Jacques Hoys in Ostend for du Boys' own account that "he this deponent being att Cadize arlate in the moneth of September 1652, did there see in the possession of the arlate ffrancis du Bois whom this deponent hath knowne for four yeares or thereabouts, nineteene baggs of peices of eight some whereof were Peru moneyes, and some of them Mexico and being in all five thousand Pattac[oXXes] or Ryalls of eight, more or lesse"[425]

ffrancisco Boesdonck - living in Antwerp; merchant; servant, cashier and book keeper of Antwerp merchant James [?Puiquet]; had lived with his master for four and a half years when deposed.[426]

The name Francisco Boesdonck appears in a "Liste des jurés de la chambre des tonlieux d'anvers": "1667. 6. Octobre. HENDRIK MOENS, marchand, nommé erflaet en remplacement de Ambrosius Aynscum. Ses collègues étaient: Jaques Kemp. Guillaume de Haze, Balthazar Fairment, Hendrick van Uff[?et], Thomas Courtois, Francisco Boesdonck, C. Bosschaert et Eduard Peeters. (Registre 340, fo.140-142. Aquits de la Chambre des Comptes, liasse 1826. fo.233.)"[427] There are two further entries of interest: "1668. 16 mars. LOUIS DE CANDELE; il succéda à Francisco Boesdonck, décédé. (Reg.340, fo 176 vo 177)." and "1669. 5 novembre. FRANÇOIS BOESDONCK; il succède à Nicholas vander Borcht, démissionnaire. (Reg. 340, fo 149 vo 151)."[428]

Baetens (1976) mentions ffrancisco Boesdonck once, in a list immediately preceeding the name "Jacques Pinquett" ("Hij begartigde aldaar niet enkel zijn eigen zaken, maar trad tevens op voor verschillende Antwerpse kooplieded: Herman Cornelissen, wed. Nic. van der Borcht, Ignatio Carena, Franc. Boesdonck, Jacques Pinquett, Dionisio van der Vorst, Alonso Palma Carillo..."[429]

George da Boyes [alt. George du Bois] - probably living at Antwerp (according to Joos Arnoult), though John Martinsdorp believed him to be living at Cadiz [430]

Joos Arnout, a twenty-nine year old Dunkirk merchant, deposed in support of a claim George du Bois made for brasselette wood and sasaperilla, which du Bois had purchased from sale of Flandrian laces. Arnoult stated thathe had "knowne the producent George du Bois for eleaven yeares last past or thereabouts, who is accompted and generally reputed for a fflandrian borne, and a subject of the King of Spaine" and further that "hee hath knowne the said producent an inhabitant with his wife and family at Antwerpe for theise fower yeares last or thereabouts" and that du Bois had "driven a constant trade from fflanders to Cadiz in Spaine for goods and merchandizes"[431]

Francis du Bois, a thirty year old merchant resident in Cadiz stated that George du Bois "liveth in the Coper street at Antwerpe where hee hath lived with his family for two yeares last past of this deponents knowledge". Francis du Bois confirmed Joos Arnout's testimony, stating that George du Bois "was and is a merchant of Antwerpe and a native of fflanders and a subiect to the King of Spaine". He added that George du Bois "hath for ten yeares last past driven a constant trade to Saint Lucar and Cadiz in Spaine for goods and merchandize and within these two yeares last past hath sent divers goods and merchandize thither for his own a ccompt and had and hath factors residing there"[432]; Interestingly the Cadiz resident merchant Francis du Bois (born in Dendermonde in Flanders) stated he was not of kin to George du Bois.

Paulus Cobrisse [alt. Paul Cobrisse; Paul Cobrysse; Pauwels Cobrysse] - living in Bridges in fflanders; "merchant aged eight and thirty yeares"[433]; deponent; stated he was personally in Cadiz in 1647 and saw the Sampson arrive there "then a new shipp"[434]; Pedro Calvo and Pedro Navarro were factors for Paulus Cobrisse at Cadiz; Nicholas Carasso dias was a Cadiz based correspondent of Cobrisse.[435]; Juan de Losa Barrona was factor for Paulus Cobrisse at Lima in Peru; John Mexia de Herrera corresponded with Cobrisses's agents in Spain, but not directly with him.

James Stanier, Paylus Cobrisse's London correspondent stated that "Paulus Cobrisse was by common repute borne in fflanders, and for these 12 yeares last past of the knowledge of this deponent being his correspondent hath bene a merchant of great accompt living att present in Bridges, and so hath done five or six yeares now past and before that for six or 7 yeares he lived in Spaine and was and is a subiect of the King of Spaine"[436]

John Mexia da Herreya ws resident in Limma in Peru and deposed in September 1653 that "he hath knowne the arlate Paulus Cobrisse for about five yeares last past for all which tyme he hath had his agents factors and correspondents in Cadiz Saint Lucar and the Indies arlate, by whom he hath trucked and bartered in the sayd places merchanises of fflanders and other parts for moneyes sylver and plate, which hath bene in that tyme procured for him by them and sent to him in fflanders where he liveth being by common reputation a merchant and inhabitant of Bridges"[437]

Juan de Losa Barrona had spent much of his forty year life in Lima in Peru and had been a correspondent of Paylus Cobrisse from Lima for the last eight years when he deposed in support of Cobrisse in October 1653. He ststed that "Paulus Cobrisse was and is a fflandrian borne and a merchant of Bridges, and there hath lived for twenty yeares and upwards and indeed by common repute for all his tyme, and is a subiect of the King of Spaine and a merchant of good ranke and account and so reputed, And for these 8 yeares now past of this deponents knowledge hath driven a constant trade in merchandizeing betwixt fflanders Cadiz, Saint Lucar and other places in Spaine, and likewise to the Indies, and hath had his Agents and Correspondents in the sayd places respectively"[438]; Juan de Losa Barrona described receiving in Lima in Peru stuffs of English manufacture from Pedro Calvo, Cobrisse's agent in Cadiz: "these sayd English manufactures in the yeare 1650. the sayd Calvo sent to the Producent in Limma for the same Accompt, and there and parts of Peru adiacent this Reneden did convert the same into sylver, whereof the sylver now claymed was and is a part, and was brought by this rendent from the Indies to Cadiz and there delivered to the sayd Pedro Calvo"[439]

According to modern web based genealogical sources, Paul or Paulus Cobrisse (also known as Don Paulo) was the son of Joost Cobrisse and Anna Boels, and married Anna de Meulenaere on April 7th 1660 in the church of St Donaes, Brugge. The marriage date of 1660 looks to be an error since a daughter "Joanna Maria Cobrisse" is stated by the same source to be "geboren circa 1650 te Spanje".[440]

An extensive genealogy of the Cobrysse family of Bruges was published in 1864.[441] According to this source, Paul's father Josse or Joost Cobrysse was born in 1557 in Bruges, married Anne Boels in 1603, and died in 1642. The same source states that Paul was their fourth child and gives a short profile: "PAUL COBRYSSE, seigneur d'Aerzeele, fut chef-homme de la ville de Bruges en 1653, conseiller en 1654, échevin en 1657, 58, 60, 65, 72, et bourgmestre en 1662, 63, 64, 67, 68, 69, gouverneur de l'école Bogaerde en 1651 et en 1665 tuteur de l'hôpital de la Potterie où voit son portrait. Il éposa en Avril 1660 ANNE DE MEULENAERE, dite van Belle, fille de Pierre, seigneur de Kemps et maïeur héréditaire d'Alost, et de Marguerite van Volden (tome IV, page 61). PAUL COBRYSSE mourut selon les uns en 1665 et selon d'autres le 9 Octobre 1675 ou le 9 Octobre 1677 d'après un manuscrit concernant sa famille, et fut enterré en l'église des Pauvres Claires. Il ne laissa qu'une fille bâtarde Jeanne-Pauline, aliis Françoise Cobrysse, née en Espagne et mariée à Charles Cobrysse, fils de Jean et de Jacqueline de Smidt. PAUL COBRYSSE fit un testament par lequel il légua une bourse de mariage à tous les descendans tant du nom de Cobrysse que de celui de sa mère Anne Boels. Nous trouvons à ce sujet, dans un manuscrit concernant la famille Cobrysse, ce qui suit...Ce testament fut signé le 30 Septembre 1675 en présence de Jean Heyns et de G. de Ham."[442]

Antonio Cuppens [alt. Coppens] – living at Dunkerke in fflanders; chyrurgeon and purser of the ship the John Evangelist[443]; "native and inhabitant of Duinkerk"[444]; laded silver on the Saint John Evangelist for James Lordell on April 19th 1653 [presumably new style][445]; as purser of the Saint John Evangelist first came aboard the ship at Dunkirk, "about the tenth day of ffebruary last past"[446] the silver was delivered in the day time into the hands of the purser in the presence of the master "by a merchant factor who laded the same whom this deponent knoweth not and saith he concealed his name for the danger that might befall him if he should have bene knowne to lade sylver to be transported out of Spaine" [447]; ship was bound for Dunkirk[448]

Witnesses living in Flanders and Brabant: T - Z


Francis Rubbens – living at Antwerp; servant to John Bollart; Francis Rubbens reported he was "by the said producent employed to keepe his journall booke, wherein and whereby hee is well acquainted with the trade and negotiation of the said producent"[455]

Philipp de La [?Sierpe] [alt. ?Surpe; ?Suirpe] - living in Dunkirk; merchant; deponent in support of claim of Balwyn Mathews, an English merchant, for his silver; aged twenty three in early 1653; stated he had lived in Dunkirk for last fifteen years[456]

Adrian Valzolio the younger - living in Antwerp; merchant; aged twenty-five in June 1653; living in George Bosschaert's house in Antwerp as cashier; had been at Cadiz in 1652 "at the time of the said lading being imployed thither from Antwerp by the said Boschaert to looke after his businesse there"[457]; "a Brabanter by birth, borne at Loven, and liveth at Antwerp with Mr Boschaert"[458]; lived with George Boscaert "about six yeares last" [as of April 1653], including four years with him in Spain[459]; Adrian Valzolio calls himself "the younger" in a deposition of March 29th 1653 on behalf of George Boscaert for his plate and silver in the Morning Star[460]

There is evidence of a Valzolio family of Liege, with links to Louvain (Leuven) in the early and mid-C17th, which, given Adrian Valzolio the younger's stated birth place of Loven (i.e. Leuven), may be his family. The reference source, which dates from 1720, states "Cette Famille de Valzolio tire son origine de Turin, Capitale du Piémont. Un certificat des Rois d'Armes de Brabant du mois d'Août 1678, nous apprend qu'elle est tres-ancienne & reputée pour noble, par les alliances qu'elles a faites avec les Famille di Vischa, di Monte, di Giodda, di Lomelli, &c.".[461]

The Valzolio family archive is located in Archives de l'Etat à Liège.[462]

An interesting record exists in the Archivo General de Indias in Seville of an "Adrián Vauseul de Valzolio" from 1642. The archival metadata state: "Expediente de información y licencia de pasajero a Indias de Adrián Vauseul de Valzolio, mercader, natural de Lovaina, hijo de Huberto y de Ana Logier, con su cajero Nicolás Naquens, natural de Amberes (Bélgica), hijo de Juan Naquens y de Magdalena Namones, a Nueva España. Incluye copia registro de mercaderías."[463]

This Archivo General de Indias record identifying Adrian Valzolio's parents as Hubert and Anne Logier matches to modern genealogical data, which give Hubert Valzolio "banquier" (b.1550, Poirino, Piedmont, d.?) and Anne Logier (b.1555, d.1616), and having seven children, the seventh being Adrian (b.1601, Valenciennes, d.?).[464] The same genealogical source does not identify a son Adrian of Adrian Valzolio (b.1601, d.?). However, one of Adrian's brothers, Jérôme Valzolio (b. 1589, Valenciennes, d.1660) is shown as having twelve children, including a son "Adrien Valzolio" (b.1620, d.?).[465]

A further Spanish record in the same Archivo General de Indias, from 1656, may refer to Adrian Valzolio the younger. The archival metadata state "-Número 2.- Autos del año 1656. En 4 ramos:... 3. Autos de Adrián Vauseul de Valzolio, flamenco, con el prior y cónsules de Sevilla, sobre que le abone la cantidad con que sirvió al Rey por su carta de naturaleza, que se suspendió, a petición del Consulado."[466]

John Vervoort - living in Antwerp; cashier and bookekeeper to John Smeesters/Smesters, merchant; aged twenty-five in October 1653[467]; John Vervoort stated in October 1653 that he was "cashier and booke keeper to the said producent, and having so been for 7. yeares last past or thereabouts"[468]

John de Vos - claiming to live at Ostend; mariner; commander of the Saint John Evangelist in early 1653.[469]; in a deposition made in May 1653, John de Vos stated that he had been master of the Saint John Evangelist for "neer about three yeares now past and took the first charge of her att Serdam in Holland", the ship having been built at Serdam at the order of her Flandrian owners[470]; in the same deposition he listed the owners of his ship as Robert Mulbacks of Bridges ("Cheife Owner, and mannager of the busines of the sayd shipp"), who was a 1/8th owner; John Raad of Ostend, also owner of 1/8th; Noot de Vischer of Ostend, owner of 1/8th; the widow of Adrian Basin of Dunkirk, owner of 3/8th parts; John de Lavillette of Dunkirk, owner of 1/16th part; "one Spronkhelfe" of Bridges, owner of 1/16th part; and John de Vos himsself ("who hath lived for these ten yeares last past and upwards att Dunkirke Dover and Ostend is owner of 1/8 part"[471]

John de Vos states that he "was borne at Newport in fflanders and dwelleth at Ostend"[472]; aged forty-seven in September 1653[473]

There is a record dated April 1653 of an insurance policy written on the ship Saint Jan, captain Jan de Vos "sailing from Malaga to Ostend". The policy is for Sebastian Cortises and Sebastian Lopez Hierede de Castro. Possibly related to this policy is the promise of Andreas Mertens to pay his part when the ship is taken by the English.[474]

Interestingly, John de Vos, quite clearly the same man, appeared again as a deponent in the English High Court of Admiralty in August 1657 "of the parish of Saint Buttolphs Algate London Mariner aged 52 yeeres or thereabouts". He "made oath upon the holy Evangelists" and stated that he was master of a ship called the Golden ffox of London, which he claimed to have sold in July 1657 to Peter Vandeputt and Lucas Lucy, London merchants.[475]

In yet a further deposition, from April 1659, identified as "Jan de Vos of London mariner, master of the ffox aged 53 years", Jan or John de Vos stated that he knew a John Tilly, an Irishman, from the time they had lived near to each other in Dover, and also from visiting him at Tilly's house in Amsterdam. He stated that he was "borne at Niewport in fflanders" and "hath lived and kept his ffamily for theise tenne yeeres last at Middleboro Amsterdam and London".[476].

This evidence raises the question as to whether John de Vos lied in 1653, when he claimed that his then ship the Saint John Evangelist was of Ostend, rather than of a port in the United Provinces. Marie de Vos, the forty three year old wife of Jan de Vos, also gave evidence in the English High Court of Admiralty in 1659 and also stated that "for theise tenne yeeres last hath lived in Middleborow, Amsterdam and London", omitting, as did her husband to state that she or he had been living in Ostend in 1653.[477]

Peter vander Wyer [alt. Pedro vander Wyer; Pedro van de Weyer; Peter van de Wayer; Petrus vanden Weyer; sieur Pedro de Weyer] - living at Dunquirk, but born in Spain, where his father and mother lived in Seville; son of Peter vander Wyer [the elder], merchant of Antwerp (deceased), and of Sarah Smitsartsa [alt. Smetsarta], widow of Peter vander Wyer [the elder]

Peter vander Wyer (the younger) deposed that "hee this deponent is a native of Sevill in Spania, and nowe an inhabitant of Dunquirke"[478] and referred in his deposition to his father's house being in Spain, where John Bollart (Peter vander Wyer the younger's former master) had formerly resided for a considerable time.[479] In this connection see Baetens (1976), who states "Ferdinande is bedrijvig te Cadiz, Igantius, Manuel en Jan Baptist te Sevilla, waar de lastste in 1632 inwoont bij Peter van de Wayer en Jan Bollaert"[480]; this Baetens (1976) appears to refer to Jan Baptista van der Bequen, who was son of the likenamed Jan Baptista van der Bequen and Maria van Oppervelt. Jan Baptista's elder brother, Ignatius van der Bequen, was also connected with Seville[481]

Peter Vande Wyer, a 26 year old merchant of Dunkirk, deposed in November 1653 in a claim for pipes and quartels of oyle laded at Malaga for the account of two Antwerp merchants, Giles Risheuvel and Melchior Rediquer, by a Malaga based Antwerpian factor named Andries van/von Cantlebeck. He stated that "Risheuvel and Rediquer the parties producent in this cause are Antwerpers borne, by common report, where they have lived with their respective families ever since this deponent knew [?them] videlicet the said Giles Risheuvel neare the Towne hall of Antwerp, and for the other hee remembreth not the name of the street"[482]

The CSPD makes reference on December 9th 1651 to "The petition of Peter Vander Wyer and Hen. Vander Gyne, concerning the Peacock, late the Golden Eagle, with the letter of Council annexed, referred to the Admiralty Committee, to speak with the parties pretending an interest in the ship about employing her in the service, and report"[483], and then on December 30th 1651 to "The petition of Peter Vander Wyer" referred to the Admiralty Committee", dated December 30th 1651, so prior to the seizure of the Silver Ships[484]; two years later, on June [?XX] of 1653 there is a further reference to "Petition of Simon de Caseres and Pedro Vander Wyer, merchant strangers, to the Council of State, for license to import pitch, tar, hemp, cordage, masts, and deal boards for the service of the State, without incurring any of the penalties under the Act of navigation. With reference thereon to the Admiralty Judges, who are to see their own orders in Caseres' case made good, or certify the state of the business; and note, 8 June, that they are to speak with the Admiralty Commissioners"[485]; there may have been a brother or relative named "Jacomo van de Weyer"

There is a reference to a joint stock involving Peter van der Weyer in HCA 13/65, which is in fact the case mentioned in the CSPD above for 1651. The case is titled "The clayme of Levinus ffranck Hendrick vander [?Geyme [poss. ?Gayne]] Peter Vander Wyer and John Bolart for the ship the Golden Eagle and the respective quantities of money and bullion on board her taken by the Tyger Frigot whereof Captaine Peacocke is commander in the ymediate service of this Comon=wealth"[486]. Interestingly, Thomas Tasse, the twenty-six year old Antwerp merchant who first deposes in the claim, states the claimants "Levinus francke Hendricke Vander Geyme and Peeter Vander Wyer were and are merchants inhabiting and liveing in Middleburgh, and the said John Bollart hee saith liveth at Antwerpe in fflanders". This he claimed to know having been at all their houses and to very well know them, and having been their factor aboard the Golden Eagle[487] Tasse recounted joining the ship at Saint Maloes in France, the ship having sailed from Middleburgh, and having letters of credit from the claimants to buy a cargazon at Saint Maloes. The ship sailed thence to Cadiz, arriving safely, where it laded "money and plate" in exchange for the cargo of linnen, and departed allegedly heading for Roscoe in France. The ship appears to have taken on more goods in France and returned to "the Bay of Balls" and to have been seized on its second return to France[488] The ship was seized by Captain Peacock on August 17th 1651 (new style) and brought first to Plymouth and then to London.[489]

Tasse states that "Hendricke Vander Geyme and Levinus ffrancke were and are natives of and in the towne of Antwerpe in fflanders but saith they are merchants who live in Middleburgh and for all the tyme arlate did and doe still keepe houses and their families there together with the said Peter Vander Weyer who hee saith was borne at Civill in Spaine and liveth in the same house with the said ffrancke and Vander [?Gyme] in Middleburgh And the said John Bollart hee saith liveth in Antwerpe And all of them hee saith were and are by birth subiects of the King of Spaine....the parents of the said John Bollart were allsoe Inhabitants in Antwerpe untill they removed to Sevill where hee was borne"[490] Allegedly the ship used was built at Ostend and bought new by the claimants.[491] Tasse notes that "Levinus ffrancke Hendricke Vander [?Gayne] and Peter Vander Wyer are ioynt partners together in trade in this present voyage and designe but the said John Bollart doeth trade in this present voyage by himselfe and without any copartnershippe with the rest save only as hee is owner of a quarter part of the said ship and saith the said Bollart hath alsoe a fourth part of the moneyes and bulion which are now claymed [?XXXX] aboard her at the time of the sizure thereof and the other three parts of the said ship and goods hee saith doe th ioyntly belong unto the said three owners thereof named in the beginning of this deposition"[492]

Others living in Flanders and Brabant: A - E


Christian Aelst [alt. Christiaan Aalst; Christaen Aelst] - living in Antwerp; merchant; claimant for silver on the Saint George and the Salvador; working with Hjeronimo Brudgmans, a Flandrian in Seville; "Christian Aelst liveth in the street Kiddorp in Antwerp, and Hjeronimo Brudgmans in Saint Nicholas Street in Sevill, and are subiects of the King of Spaine"[493]; Diego Maestre, servant in Seville to Hjeronimo Brudgmans, stated that "Christian Aelst is an officer of the King of Spaines mint att Antwerp where he hath his wife children and family"[494]

A "Senor Christian Aelst" is mentioned together with a "Diego Maestre" in a secondary source in what appears to be a letter from "Jesus Maria. Sevilla a 20 de Abril 1660"[495]

The name "Christiaen Aelst" appears in a document catalogued as "Priviléges des monnayeurs au XViie siècle" which starts "Lyste vande ordinarische officiers vande Munte van Syne Majesteyt, residerende binnen de stadt van Antwerpen, ende nyet wesende onder die provoste ende gesworene vande Munte aldaer ende henitende gelycke vrydomme ende exemptie" and contains seventeen names, including "Gilles van Craywinckel, raedt ende generaele meester-ordinaris; Nicholaes de Groot, greffier vande voorschreve generaele meesters.." and continues "Boven dese syn nocht eenige raden ende generaele meesters-extraordinaris, de welcke syn genietende de voorschreve vrydom vuyt crachte van henne patente, te weten: Jan van Hencxthoven, Joris Vequemans, Hendrick van Hillewerven, Christiaen Aelst." The list appears to be dated August 5th 1654.[496]

Interesting, given Christian Aelst's link to the Antwerp mint, Jeronimo Brudgmans, Christian Alest's Cadiz based partner, sold silver he procured in Cadiz to Nicholas Paulo, the factor of the Madrid based heirs of the deceased George Etton Heard, who were the "principall masters and mannagers" of the Spanish King's Treasury in Madrid. Hans Pohl (2005) identifies a Jorge van Ettenarden [alt. Jorge Ettenarden] in the accounts of the Pagador general del ejército in the (Spanish) Netherlands from the years 1633-1634 as a Paguista, transferring large sums of money in support of the Spanish administration in the Spanish Netherlands. He presumes that Ettenarden was German, and notes that he was transferring money on behalf of the Fugger family of merchant bankers.[497]

Speculatively, a book on "Ruben's textiles" states "Christiaen Aelst obtained his merchandise from 750 laceworkers around 1650 and in the same period Dirick Atenborch had work for a further 300 women..."[498]; the same source appears to be used in Alfons K. L. Thijs (1987), in which Christiaen Aelst is described as a "kantkoopman" (lace merchant). The source is cited as "Footnote 93: Pk.1015 (16-2-1655, C.Aelst). T.1118 (16-2-1655). T.1117 (ca.1655).

Roland Baetens (1976) notes that "Christiaan Aalst had b.v. werklieden te Maastricht, Bergen op Zoom, Breda en 's Hertogenbosch. De belangrijkheid van deze industrie valt nog af te lezen uit het aantal kooplieden dat er zich mee bezig hield: in 1633 waren er mindestens 62 zijdehandelaars te Antwerpen bedrivig, in 1655 nog 54..."[500]

Gabriel de Santesteban, paymaster-general in the Pays Bas, 1590-1595 & 1600-1603, was the father-in-law of Jan [alt. John] Bollart. See Appendixes, Geofffrey Parker (1972, 2004)

John Bollart [alt. John Bolart; Jean Bolarts; John Bollard; Jan Bollaert; Jan Bolaert; sieur Jan Bolaert; Joan Bollaert; Joannis Bollaert; Bolarte] – “John Bollart is an Antwerper borne and hath lived in the ffaylestreet in that City with his family for all the time of this deponents knowledge of him” [8 years][505]; Jan Popeliers was book keeper and accountant to John Bollart and had known him personally for ten years; Francis Rubbens of Antwerp, servant to John Bollart, stated that "John Bollart for ten yeares last or there abouts hath lived with his family in the ffuyle street in Antwerp"[506]

Bollart's four factors in Spain who laded silver for his account were "Gerrard Riper Lopez de Molina, John Baptista and Peter de Zoletta"[507]; Peter vander Wyer, a Dunquirke merchant, was a former servant in John Bollart's Antwerp counting house and deposed that Bollart had "lived formerly longe in this deponents fathers house in Spaine"[508]; Vander Wyer also stated that John Bollart had been a big exporter of silver to Dover and London in the late 1630s and early 1640s[509]. See Baetens (1976) who states "Ferdinande is bedrijvig te Cadiz, Igantius, Manuel en Jan Baptist te Sevilla, waar de lastste in 1932 inwoont bij Peter van de Wayer en Jan Bollaert"[510]

John or Jan Bollart appears to have married Susanne, daughter of Don Gabriel de San Estevan, in August 1637. It is unclear whether the marriage took place in Spain or in Antwerp. A web based genealogical source states that "Susanne est la fille de don Gabriel Pagador General des Finances des Pays-Bas"[511]. The chapel of Saints Pierre et Paul in the church of Saint Jacques in Antwerp contains the coaat of arms of Jan Bollart, together with a monument to him and his wife: "Cette chapelle fut fondée par Jean Bollaert, seigneur d'Hembeeck, ancien marguillier de cette église. Un acte authentique de 1655 la mentionne comme entièrement achevée. A l'entrée de la chapelle : XVII.e siècle. â Inconnu. â Pierre sépulcrale ornée des armoiries de Jean Bollaert et de Susanne De San Estevan, sa femme. Même époque. â Inconnu.â Balustrade de marbre. â Don de Jean Bollaert."[512] Bollart's wife's name is rendered in Spanish, French and Dutch forms in archival sources, e.g. "Suzanna van St-Istevan", "Suzanna Catharina van Sante Steven", "van St-Estevan", "Susanne de Saint-Steven", "Suzanne Sanstevan".

Genealogical sources state that "Jean Bollarte" purchased the estate of "Deux Heembeeck" ("les seigneuries d'Over-Heembeck et Neder-Heembeck, avec la justice haute, moyenne et basse, etc." on January 22nd 1649, and that he was ennobled on October 1st 1659.[513] The same source states that he had three children by his wife Susanne, daughter of Don Gabriel de Estevan. They were Susanne Catherine Bollarte (b.1639, m.1658, d.?), who married Gérard van Uffels; Marie Marthe Bollaert (d.1724), who married Jacques Gansacker; and Anne Marie Bollarte, who married Pierre de Brecht.[514] A separate genealogical source identifies five children - in addition to the above named three the source lists "Jan Jacomo Bollaert" and "Maria Theresia Bollaert", who married "Frans Gonsales de Soldaigne"[515]

A Jacques (or Jacobi) Bollaert (alt. Bollarte), who was married to Cornelia Alardi, predeceased Jan Bollaert ca.1666, and is likely to have been related to Jan Bollaert.[516] An ornate memorial to "Jacobi Bollaert et Corneliae Alardi" is in the Church of Saint Jacques (Kerk Sint-Jacob) in Antwerp.[517]; A "Jacobus Bollaert Junio" appears in the accounts of the Antwerp firm of Forchoudt: "fo.169. 1654, 12 Dec.-Jacobus Bollaert Jen Pedro Van de Weyer debit"[518]

Baetens (1976) lists a "Jean Jacques Bollart en Cie."[519] and a "Gillis Bollart"[520] and a "Gio Bollart"[521]. Baetens also lists a "Jacob Bollaert te Lissabon" in connection with "zijn vader Jacques Bollaert"[522], and a "Jan Bollaert"[523] and a "F.Bollaert"[524]

The Antwerpsch archievenblad (1930) makes apparent reference to Jan Bollart stating "Met het huis Jan Bollaert, uit de Vuylestraat (Otto Veniusstraat nu), bestond er lange jaren een soort vennootschap voor den uitvoer naar Spanje. Er kwam echter oneenigheid en een proces ontstond tusschen Andries van Cantelbeeck en Bollaert, dat echter door Jan van Cantelbeeck weer bijgelegd werd."[525]

"Phillip da Papa" was part-owner of the ship the Morning Starr (Master: Henry Laweson Veger). The other owners were Adrian Goldsmith of Antwerp (1/2) and Gilles Billet ("in right of Vincent Clingenbergh of Hamborough). According to Henry Lawreson Veger "Phillip da Papa dwelt formerly at Dunquirke but hath lived at Ostend ever since the ffrench tooke Dunquirke which was about 6 yeares since".

Edward Peters [alt. Eduart Peeters; Eduard Peeters; Eduardo Peeters] - living at Antwerp; formerly living at Dover for sixteen years; merchant; claimant; George Boschaert, an Antwerp merchant, stated he "hath personally knowne him with his family in the Kitdorp in Antwerp and formerly in Antwerp and Dover"[601]; born ca. 1612, died ca. 1678 (aged ca. sixty-six).[602]

Anthony Lewis (alt. Lois). cashier and book keeper of Edward Peeters, stated Peeters was "a merchant of Antwerpe, who for theise five or 6 yeares last past of this deponents certaine knowledge hath driven a constant trade to Cadiz Saint Lucar and other parts of Spaine for silver and other goods and merchandizes, and for the expedition of his affaires in those parts, hee hath diverse agents ffactors or correspondents residing there"[603]; Lewis expanded on this, stating he "hath credibly heard, and perceived by the bookes of accompts of the said producent that hee hath lived some 16. yeares or thereabouts in Dover in England, and during such his residence here did receive returnes of very considerable quantities of silver from Spayne into this nation, and by the same meanes of this deponents [?owne] knowledge hath observed that the said producent for 20. yeres last past and upwards hath beene a very great trader for silver, bullion and coyne, and for such commonly knowne"[604]

Edward Peters return from Dover to Antwerp can be dated to around 1646 or 1647, that is six or seven years before George Boschaert's deposition in support oof Peeters in November 1653. In this deposition Boschaert stated "the said Edward Peters the producent in this cause hath formerly lived at Dover in England, from which place hee traded into Spaine for sylver, and caused severall great quantities of sylver and bullion to be imported into this Nation this deponent then holding correspondency with him. And that for about 6. or 7. yeares last past the said producent hath lived at Antwerp where hee now liveth, and is there burgher and a Subject of the King of Spaine"[605]

Anthony Lewis put Edward Peters move to Antwerp slightly later, in 1648 ("Edward Peters at this present is an inhabitant at Antwerp where he hath lived ever since the yeare 1648 last past", staing also that he "is an Antwerper borne"[606]

John Vervoort listed three factors for Edward Peeters in Spain - "William Jansen John Lamotte, and one Peter Lois ffactors and agents of the said producent"[607]

Edward Peters appears in the published calendar of the English High Court of Admiralty records from 1637-1638: "Edward Peters of Dover, co. Kent, merchant, aged 25. Signature. John Baptist Nicholas of the same, merchant, aged 22. Signature."[608]. Edward Peters also appears in the Calendar of State Papers Domestic in an undated entry, possibly from 1636, in a "Petition of Edward Peters of Dover, merchant, to the King" regarding two bars of silver which Peters had been desired by letters of advice from John de la Barre, merchant of London, to receive from William Ledgent, which had arrived from San Lucar. Peters received the silver, but subsequently James Baudoin, another London merchant, demanded the same and attached Ledgent out of the Court of Admiralty of the Cinque Ports, and had judgement against him. Whereupon Ledgent attached Peters out of the same Court of Admiralty for receiving the goods without authority from Baudoin. The petitioner sought to restore the bars of silver to Ledgent.[609]

The firm or name of "Ed. Peeters" and "Peeters" appears a number of times in Baetens (1976). These references should be followed up. For example, "Dover als overslaghaven naar Zuid-Europa telde ook enkele belangrijke Vlaamse expediteurs, zoals de firma G. van Tienen en Peeters, die in 1643 ophield te bestaan. Vier jaar later volgde Ed. Peeters zijn vroegere compagnon naaer Antwerpen om er een eigen handel te beginnen. Frans Ruteau kwam in zijn Plats."[610]; "...Meerts plaats hebben op naam van de gebroeders Kuysten uit Amsterdam, Ed. Peeters uit Dover of Jan Bapt. Jonckers uit Hamburg..."[611]; See also "in april 1641 3 schepen met zilver ter waarde van 90.000 pond Vlaams (S.A.A., I.B. 463. G. van Tienen en E. Peeters, Dover, 17-4-41 a P.d.J.,A.)"[612]

The name Eduart Peeters appears in a "Liste des jures de la chambre des tonlieux d'anvers": "1667. 6. Octobre. HENDRIK MOENS, marchand, nommé erflaet en remplacement de Ambrosius Aynscum. Ses collègues étaient: Jaques Kemp. Guillaume de Haze, Balthazar Fairment, Hendrick van Uff[?et], Thomas Courtois, Francisco Boesdonck, C. Bosschaert et Eduard Peeters. (Registre 340, fo.140-142. Aquits de la Chambre des Comptes, liasse 1826. fo.233.)"[613], and also "1678. 18 nov. EGIDIUS PEEREBOOM; il succède à Eduart Peeters, décédé. (Reg. 343, fo 168 vo)."[614] There is a substantial archive of material for "familie PEETERS d'AERTSELAER" inventoried on the digital resource "Heemkundige Kring Jan Vleminck" which includes records of an "Eduardo Peeters" who died ca. 1679 or 1680.[615] This may be the same man as "Edward Peters [alt. Eduart Peeters]", claimant for silver in the Silver Ships. This requires further investigation.

If the match is correct, then the following facts can be established from the inventory metadata: Eduardo Peeters' wife was named Anna Govaertsen vanden Graeff [alt. van der Graef] and predeceased him. Eduardo Peeters' testament was drawn up on September 5th 1678 by the Antwerp notary Ambrose Sybille, with beneficiaries including his sons Michiel and Jan Baptist Peeters and the "kapel van O.L.Vrouw van de St. Jacobskerk" in Antwerp (Item: P.1/68.0.0). Heirs of Eduardo Peeters and his wife were listed in 1680 as "Jan Baptist Peeters, Catharina Peeters, echtgenote van Constantinus Deweerdt, Maria Theresia Peeters" (Item: P.1/4.0.0).

An inventory of houses and land owned by the deceased Eduard Peeters was drawn up and sworn in 1680 by Philip de Swert and Jean vanden Eynde ("een inventaris en waardebepaling opgemaakt van huizen, gronden gelegen te Lillo, Antwerpen, Zandvliet, Oorderen welke eigendom waren van bovenvermelde Eduard Peeters" (Item: P.1/70.0.0). An undated inventory exists for all movable and immovable property, papers and documents found in the house of the deceased Eduard Peeters, which was drawn up by the Antwerp notary Ambrose Sybille. The metadata of the record are: "Inventaris van alle roerende en onroerende goederen, papieren en documenten gevonden in het sterfhuis van wijlen Eduard Peeters, echtgenoot van wijlen Anna Govaertsen vanden Graeff. Deze inventaris werd opgemaakt door notaris Ambrosius Sybille uit Antwerpen. De erfgenamen waren zijn vijf kinderen" (Item: P.1/117.0.0). Land and property from the estate oof Eduard Peeters was distributed in 1680 according to a legal document: "Verdeling van landen en goederen afkomstig uit de nalatenschap van Eduard Peeters. Bij de opgegeven stukken grond staat de geschatte waarde bijgeschreven. Cavel A, landen onder Ekeren voor de kinderen van Anna Maria Peeters en Michiel Moens. Cavel B,landen onder Kapellen en Ettenhoven voor Michiel Moens. Cavel C, landen onder Ettenhoven voor Maria Theresia Peeters. Cavel D, landen onder Ettenhoven voor Catharina Peeters, echtgenote van Constant de Weerdt. Cavel E, landen onder Zandvliet, Lillo, Oorderen en Ettenhoven voor Jan Baptiste Peeters. De akte werd opgesteld voot Jan Baptiste Greijns en Jacobus Anthonis de Witte, schepenen van Antwerpen." (Item: P.2/26.0.0, dated January 24th 1680)[616] Cash sums not yet distributed from the estate of Eduard Peeters are calculated and listed in a document dated June 5th 1683 and signed by "Michiel Peeters, Adrianus Goijvaertsen vanden Graef en Juffr. Maria Theresia Peeters" (Item: P.1/87.0.0). Separtaely, there is mention in a modern secondary source of "3345. Inventaris van het sterfhuis van EDUARDO PEETERS, erflater van de knoninklijke toikamer, weduwnaar van ANNA GOVAERTSSEN VAN DEN GRAEFF (1678, 22 november)"[617]

Roughly two years before his death "Eduardus Peeters" (also called "Eduard Peeters" in the same record) gave money to the Lady Chapel (O.L.Vrouw kapel) in the "Collegiale kerk van St. Jacob te Antwerpen" to provide funds to build a tomb in the chapel for the famil Peeters. ("Voor notaris Anthonij de Pieters, residerende te Antwerpen zijn verschenen: Martinus Diltens, Godefridus Lans en Michiel Lodewijcx, kapelmeesters van de O.L.Vrouw kapel in de Collegiale kerk van St. Jacob te Antwerpen en Eduardus Peeters. Eduard Peeters schenkt de som van 2.000 Carolus gulden aan de bovenvermelde kapel, geld dat nodig is om aan deze kapel een grafkelder aan te bouwen waarin later de familie Peeters begraven zou kunnen worden") (Item: P.3/63.0.0, dated August 24th 1678)[618] A subsequent letter from Constantinus de Weerdt, stadssecretaris van Antwerpen, dated 1683, refers to the caoital in the "fondatie van wijlen Eduard Peeters" given to the "Collegiale kerk van St. Jacob te Antwerpen." (Item: P.3/74.0.0, dated 1683)[619]

A modern family tree shows "Anna Maria Peeters, décédée avant 28 juin 1683; Parents: Eduard PEETERS †1678; Anna GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF †/1678; Frères et sœurs: (1) F Catharina PEETERS †1722/ (2) H Jan Baptist PEETERS, jonker †1686 (3) F Maria Theresia PEETERS †1679/ (4) F Anna Maria PEETERS †/1683 (5) H Michiel PEETERS †1729", with "Anna Maria Peeters" marying "Michiel Moenes (1646-1705), and having four children).[620]

This family tree does not show the date of the marrieage of Eduard Peeters and Anna Govaertsen van de Graaf, but it appears to have been in March 1648. A document in the familiearchieven in the digital resource heemkundige kring jan vleminck has the metadata: "Houwelijckxsche voorwaerde van dhr Eduardo Peeters met jouffr Anna Govaertsen vande Graeff, 3 meert 1648". Notaris was Gijsbrecht de Coninck uit Antwerpen. In de akte worden verder nog vermeld: Jan Govaertsen vande Graeff gehuwd met Anna Moons, haar ouders, Adriaan en Michiel Moens, Jan Smeesters en Jan van Dienoir." (Item: P.1/122.0.0 [621]

The parents of Eduard Peeters are shown as unknown, but the parents of "Anna GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF" are identified as father: Jan GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF and mother: Anna MOENS, (ook MOONS), with four children: (1) F Anna GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF †/1678 (2) H Adriaen GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF †1700/ (3) F Constantia GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF †1708 (4) F Maria GOYVAERTSEN VAN DE GRAEF[622]

Michiel Peeters, the younger son of Eduard Peeters and Anna Goyvaertsen van de Graef, is shown as "Décédé le 14 mars 1729", with the note "Ridder, wonende in het huis "De Sikkel" op het Kipdorp te Antwerpen (1714)". He is shown as "Marié en 1683 avec Maria Josepha VAN EELEN †ca 1702", with whom he had five children.[623] The genealogical record of Michiel Peeters draws heavily on the familie-archief Peeters d'Aertselaer. The marriage contract between Michiel Peeters and Maria Josepha van Eelen was dated February 10th 1683 witnessed by Michiel Peeters' maternal uncle (Adriaen Goijvaertsen vanden Graeff), who is described as "bouwmeester van Antwerpen" and "Jan van Eelen" wiho is descibed as "Ridder" (Item: P.3/41.0.0)

Adrianus Govaertsen van de Graeff [alt. Adriano Goijvaertsen vanden graeff] is mentioned in connection with the will of Jan Baptista Peeters, one of the sons of Eduard Peeters, and may have been the brother of Eduard Peeter's wife Anna Govaertsen vand de[r} Graeff (Item: P.1/15.0.0, dated June 6th 1686; also item: P.1/2.0.0, dated August 16th 1680). Separately "Adrian Govaertse van der Graef" and "Adriaen Govaertsen van der Graef" are mentioned in documents relating to Lillo-Zuidland.[624] The testament of "Adriaen Goyvaerts vande Graeff" is dated October 6th 1700 and was made at the same time as that of his sister "Constantia Goijvaertsen vanden Graeff". The metadata for the document read: "Beiden maken hun testament. Begunstigden zijn: de kerk van O.L.Vrouw te Antwerpen, de kapel van het Allerheiligste Sacrament van de O.L.Vrouw kerk, de kinderen van Anna Goijvaertsen vande Graeff, zuster van Constantia, echtgenote van Eduard Peeters, de zes voorkinderen va wijlen Herman Cornelis. Het betreft hier gronden en eigendommen in Edegem, Antwerpen in de polders van Lillo" (Item: P.3/19.0.0)[625]

Jan [alt. Joan] Baptista Peeters was deceased by 1686, with a "testament van wijlen Jonkr Jan bapt Peeter op 18 mey 1686" (Item: P.1/16.0.0), and posthumous inventory of all goods and income of Jan Baptista Peeters (Item: P.1/14.0.0). Jan Baptisa Peeters bequeathed to his brother Michiel Peeters "een hoeve met landerijen, meubelen en toebehoren gelgen onder Deurne met een oppervlakte van 24 bunder" (Item: P.1/16.0.0, dated May 18th 1686). Jan Baptista Peeters appears to have made his will on May 18th 1686 before the notary "Emanuel Henrique Peres", and to have died on May 19th 1686 (Item: P.1/19.0.0). Jan Baptista Peeters' brother Michiel Peeters is listed as executor. A deceased sister, Anna Maria Peeters, wife of Michiel Moens, is also named (Item: P.1/18.0.0).

Trade related records include a letter dated July 13th 1656: "Briefje aan Eduard Peeters vanwege Andria Mensen. Deze verwittigd de heer Peeters ervan dat: "onder Mons melchior robijn is een camer tapisserije historie van celadon in twee packen die cost drij hondert en vijfenseventich pond als die sal weesen tot Ue gerustheijt ..." (Item: P.1/52.0.0). A further letter dated July 4th 1656 records a payment of interest, probably by Eduard Peeters, to Jan Lieven: "De heer Marcelis, gevolmachtigde voor Jan Lievens, bekent ontvangen te hebben uit handen van Peeters, vermoedelijk Eduard, de som van 235 gulden over drie jaren verloop tegen vier ten honderd van 1963 gulden" (Item: P.1/60.0.0). An undated note records a debt owed by Eduard Peeters to the widow of Abraham van Hembeecq (a name also mentioned in the Silver Ship litigation) (Item: P.1/71.0.0). A separate record identified the widow of Abraham van Hembeecq as "Maria van Gommenberghe" (Item: P.1/91.0.0). An inventory and list of prices for goods made for "Heer Peeters" [Mr. Peeters] is dated August 2nd 1678 (Item: P.1/88.0.0). There is an undated acount made for "Eduard Peeters" "voor o.a. de aankoop van stukken grond, zaaigoed, een zeil, een vierde paart op een octrooi van land onder Lillo" (Item: P.1/89.0.0). There is an undated list of debtors owing money to "Heer Peeters" (Item: P.1/92.0.0). A record dated July 17th 1666 details ladnd bought by "Heer Peeters" (Item: P.1/93.0.0). A series of records in the 1650s and 1660s report rental paid by "Eduard Peeters" to the children of "Juan Ferdinandus De Sanvictores" and "Magdalena de Vergnis" "op het huis 'Den Prince Cardinael' gestaan in de Vuijlstraet te Antwerpen" (for example, 6 months rental, recorded in 1658, Item: P.1/96.0.0). The sums were collected by Juan de Hemus [alt Henus, Hermus] on behalf of the children, whose names appear to have been "Anthonij en Maria Brigitta de Sanvictores." (Item: P.1/104.0.0). A record dated January 13th 1660 has the metadata: "Quitantie van F 281.8 voor Eduard Peeters als Proprietaris van den Prins Cardinael in de Vuijlstraete in dato 13 Janny 1660". Voor schepen van Antwerpen zijn gekomen Marinus de Vooght en Catharina Gelthoft die verklaren ontvangen te hebben uit handen van Eduard Peeters de som van 281 gulden acht stuivers met daarboven een rente van 25 gulden" (Item: P.1/110.0.0).

of James Pinquett stated in June 1653 that "the said Mr Pinquet liveth in the hopland over against the ffowlestreete in Antwerp[627]; in a separate deposition ffrancisco Boesdonck described Pinquettas "having for theise 6. yeares last past or thereabouts lived in the Hopland over against the [?Nayle/?Vayle] street in Antwerpe and there kept his wife and family, and did formerly dwell in the street called the Meer at Antwerpe for about 10. yeares before"[628]

John Moller, cashier of James Pinquet's friend and commercial partner George Bosschaert stated that "hee well knoweth that the said Pinquet hath for the said seaven yeares space bin a merchant that hath driven and still driveth a greate trade to Cadiz and Saint Lucars for plate, moneys and other goods, this deponent both at Cadiz and at Antwerp seeing and observing such his traffique and dealing"[629]; John Moller added that "while this deponent was soe at Cadiz hee observed that the said Mr Pinquet corresponded with Maximilian da [?hogha] and ffrancis de la Sierpe, merchants and factors there, but cheifly with the said Maximilian da [?hogha], and that hee used to send them goods from fflanders, and to have the retournes thereof in plate, moneys and other goods, but principally in plate and money and such correspondance and trade this deponent hath observed him to keepe with them ever since his this deponents said comming to Antwerp"[630]

Adrian Valzolio deposed in 1653 that "James Pinquet was and is a fflandrian borne at a place neere [?Conman] neere lile otherwise called Rissell in fflanders in the dominion of the kinge of Spaine" and added that "James Pinquet hath lived tenn yeares or thereabouts last of this deponents sight and knowledge in Antwerp, where the said Boschaert hath dwelt about two yeares last and before that for 4 yeares at Cadiz in Spaine for all which time this deponent hath dwelt with him in the said places"[631]

Adrian Valzolio deposed in support of George Bosschaert in May 1653 and stated that he had been sent in October 1651 "from Antwerp for Cadiz by order and with a cargazon of goods of him the said producent to get and provide silver to be laden in Spaine for Antwerp for his accompt in retourne of the said cargo and of other cargo's of goods sent into Spaine by and for his the said producents accompt, and to assist his factors and correspondents therein, and accordingly this deponent assisted and was acquainted with the buying, providing, making up and lading all the foresaid silver and plate at Cadiz for his the said producents accompt, and helped to carry and conveigh part thereof aboard, and was privie to and assisting in the putting it all aboard the said three shipps then lying in the port of Cadiz"[632]

Giles Risheuvel - living at Antwerp; merchant of Antwerp;

Peter Vande Wyer, a 26 year old merchant of Dunkirk, deposed in November 1653 in a claim for pipes and quartels of oyle laded at Malaga for the account of two Antwerp merchants, Giles Risheuvel and Melchior Rediquer, by a Malaga based Antwerpian factor named Andries van/von Cantlebeck. He stated that "Risheuvel and Rediquer the parties producent in this cause are Antwerpers borne, by common report, where they have lived with their respective families ever since this deponent knew [?them] videlicet the said Giles Risheuvel neare the Towne hall of Antwerp, and for the other hee remembreth not the name of the street"[634]

William La Rousseau [alt. Guilhaume Rousseau] - living in Antwerp; mentioned in case brought by Christopher Boone; publique notary; a "Guilhaume Rousseau, notary in Antwerp" is mentioned in a secondary source in the context of a notarial instrument dated September 28th 1621.[635]

John Smeesters [alt. Jan Smeesters; Smesters; Smoosters; Jean S'meesters; Jan S'Meesters] - living in Antwerp; merchant; John Vervoort was his cashier and bookekeeper[638]

According to John Vervoort "John Smeesters hath bin and at present is a merchant of Antwerp who hath driven and doeth drive a trade to Cadiz in Spaine for moneyes and other goods, and had and hath his factors and correspondents residing [?in] there to whom hee hath within the said time of seaven yeares sent severall goods and merchandizes from Ostend and Dunquirke in fflanders to be by then sould bartered away or disposed of for silver moneyes and other goods"[639]

Gerard Ryper and John Lamotte were factors of John Smeesters in Spain[640]; Anthony Lois, a thirty year old Antwerp merchant, deposed in October 1653 deposed that "John Smeesters interrate is an Antwerper borne, and hath lived there in the broadstreet for 6 yeares last of this deponents knowledge and by relation many yeares before"[641]

John Vervoort, Edward Peeters' cashier and book keeper, stated in October 1653 that "Smeesters is an Antwerper borne, and hath lived there with his familie for 7. yeares last in the broad street"[642]; Vervoort described Mr Edward Peters as "a familiar friend and kinsman" of John Smeesters[643]; In a separate deposition John Vervoort went further and stated that Smeesters was "an intimate friend correspondent and a kinsman" of Edward Peters[644]

Possible reference to purchase by Jan Smeesters and his possible wife Maria van Vissenaquen of a house called the "Sint Jan Baptist" in the "Lange Gasthuisstraat" in Antwerpen, December 1st 1623 (1 december 1623. JAN KIEFFEL en zijn vrouw AGATHA VAN DER BORCHT verkopen aan JAN SMEESTERS en zijn vrouw MARIA VAN VISSENAQUEN het huis “Sint Jan Baptist” in de Lange Gasthuisstraat. Bron: Schepenbrief Rijksarchief Antwerpen.[645]; consistent with the above reference is one in a French language account of the nobility of the Pays-Bas, referring to a Lucas van Opmeer, who was an alderman of Antwerp prior to his death in 1659: "Il avait épousé Marie S'MEESTERS, morte le 4 mai 1655, fille de Jean S'MEEESTERS, échevin d'Anvers, et de Marie VAN VISSENAKEN"[646]

Assuming the 1623 purchase of the Antwerp house was by a married Jan Smeesters, and that this is the same man as "John Smeesters" of the Silver ship litigation, a 1627 reference to a Jan Smeesters delivering goods from Calais may be again the same man ("João de Paz und André de Azevedo liessen 1627 von Juan Smeesters aus Calais in Hondschoote 120 Stück „sargas de anascote" aufkaufen, sie in zwei Schiffen nach Hamburg an Gonzalo Cardoso senden, der sie ... [647]

Denuncé (1934) mentions a Signor Jan Smeesters in connection with Cadiz ("Wy hebben al hier een casse gepackt om op Cales te senden aen Sigr Jan Smeesters om aen Ul te senden met dese schepen die op ladinge liggen..."[648]

Baetens (1976) also makes several references to Jan Smeesters[649]

Stols (1971) in his Personenregister states "504. SMEESTERS. Juan Smeesters te ANTWERPEN ca 1642 in de handel op Spanje. A.H.N.M., IT., 3810, 2."[650]

There is a large collection of documents dating from 1681 to 1697 inventoried in the J.A.L. Velle Collection, Antwerp collection, which show a "Pedro Smissaert", apparently resident in Antwerp, dealing with "George Uythoff", a merchant in Hamburg, and also Jorgen or Jurgen Uthoff, a Hamburg merchant and also possible links between this Pedro Smissaert and Don Balthazar Coymans. The documents refer to the assientist Porcio as well as Coymans and Cy.[651]

Sarah Smitsartsa [alt. Sara Smetsarta] - living at Antwerp for eight years, and previously in Seville in Spain; widow of Peter Vander Wyer of Antwerp, deceased; claimant for silver on Salvador[652]; mother of deponent Pedro Van de Wyer, merchant of Dunkirk; had been trading on her own account for three years prior to November 1653, so her husband Peter Vander Wyer presumably died ca. mid/late 1650[653]

Pedro Van de Wyer deposed in November 1653 that "Gerard Ryper is an Antwerper borne, and hath [?lived] at Cadiz in the Saint ffrancis street and other streets there for about [?XX] yeares last past and about 3 yeares last past was married there"[654]; Pedro Van de Weyer deposed in November 1653 that his mother Sarah Smitsarta "is an Antwerper borne and hath lived upon the Moor for about 8 yeares last past, and formerly dwelt at [?XXXX] in Spaine[655]

Michael Perry Severino, a twenty-eight year old merchant of Saint Lucar, stated in November 1653 that "hath well knowne the producent Sara Smetsarta arlate, and hath so done for theise 14. yeares last past or thereabouts and saith that for all the time shee the said deponent hath bin and now is a subject of the king of Spaine, and hath formerly lived at Sevill in Spaine and since at Antwerp in Brabant where shee dwelleth at present"[656]

John Estava Spinola [alt. John Stevan Spinola; Jan Stefano Spinola] - living at Antwerp; merchant; consignee of twenty-nine sacks of wool loaded on the Sampson at Cadiz belonging to the King of Spain[657]; Lucas Wrede, stiersman of the Morning Starr, stated he is "commonly accompted a subiect of the King of Spaine and a merchant of fflanders, driving a great trade for silver betwixt that country and Spania"[658]

Baetens (1976) mentions a "Jan Stefano Spinola" in a list of accounting entries ("1669 Jan Stefano Spinola + 97,062")[659]; Baetens has a section on the Spinola family, which appears to have been a wealthy Antwerp family. Other entries include "In 1646-1647 behoorde Jan Stefano Spinola met Louis Malo, Jan Paulo Dorchi en Francisco Grimaldi als Italianen en o.m. Adam Diaz Sollis en Franciscus Lopes Franco als Portugezen tot het bankiersconsortium dat de financiering van de Spaanse legermacht in de Nederlanden in handen hield."[660]; these Baetens references need to be followed up.

Bert Timmermans (2008), drawing on Baetens and other sources, includes "Jan Stefano Spinola" in a list of household wealth.[661] Timmermans also includes the same merchant in an overview of leading households amongst merchant families, 1650-1678[662]

Julia Zunckel (1997) has identified the firm of "Giovanni Battista Spinola, Aurelio Cattaneo and Gerolamo Lomellino" as "im letzten Drittel des 16. Jahrhunderts das grösste Handelshaus Antwerpens" and adds "1620-1640 zählte die Unternehmung des Jan Stefano Spinola (mit über 100.000 Pfund fläm...."[663]; Zunckel comments on the close structural links of the Genoese armsdealers in Antwerp and connects it to the Spanish trade in a reference which needs to be followed up: "Footnote 52: In Bezug auf die engen strukturellen Verknüpfungen der Genueser Rüstungshändler in Antwerpen sei an dieser Stelle nur auf die enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Grimaldi, Spinola, Serra and Sivori im Iberiengeschäft und auf die verwandtschaftlichen Verbindungen zwischen Spinola, Jorge und Sivori, die Verschwägerung zwischen den Dochi und Maggioli sowie zwischen Maggioli, Moneglia und..."[664]

Jacquez Suarez [alt. Swarez] - living at Antwerp; factor of the King of Spain at Antwerp[665]

Jasper de Surmount - living at Tournay in Flanders; claimant of silver in the Saint John Evanglist[666]

Speculatively, Jasper de Surmont may be related to Philippe de Surmont of Amsterdam.

"Surmont. D'or au chevron de gueules, acc. en chef de 2 roses de même, et en point d'une montagne de sinople. Famille orininaire de Courtrai. - Jacques, conseiller pensionnaire de T. (Ar. de Fl.) - Les Surmont actuels portent les armes ci-dessus et ont pour tenants, 2 hommes armes vêtus de gonelles rayées d'argent et de sinople, portant bannières de Surmont, et sur le listel cette devise: IN MONTE SALUS."[667]

This article, written in French, states "George Bosscharts" was "natif de la ville de Graban, au pays et duché de mecklembourg, en Allemagne". It names George Boschaert's wife as "une des filles de Guillaume d'ESPOMEREAUX, dit VAN HOVE, écuyer, vivant plus ancien échevin et trésorier, et, en 1665, second bourgmestre d'Anvers, - et de Catherine VAN HOVE, dame d'Altena." States Georges Bosscharts "fut anobli par lettres patentes du roi Charles II, dépéchées à Madrid le 16 décembre 1665. Il fut crée chevalier par autres lettres en date du 7 octobre 1670, avec permission de faire supporter ses armes de deux lions d'or, et de changer le bourlet en une couronne, - et ce en considération de ce qu'il, durant les dernières guerres, avait levé et entretenu à ses frais deux soldats dans le régiment de la ville Anvers, et par ordre du marquis de Castel Rodrigo, gouverneur et capitaine-général des Pays-Bas et Bourgogne du roi, fourni des grosses sommes de deniers pur la levée de deux régiments d'infanterie d'Allemagne."[687] Francis de Decker (1957) has published a monograph on the Despomereaux family.[688] DEcker has also published on the Flemmish connection with Madrid[689]

A mid C18th genealogical and heraldic dictionary states "ESPOMEREAUX: Familie noble du Brabant, qui possède la seigneurie de Hove érigéee en baronie par lettres du 4 Août 1675 en faveur de Guillaume d'Espomeraux, seigneur de Hove & d'Altena."[690] The town and castle of Altena is located nearby to the south-west of Antwerp.[691]

A printed extract from the letters patent in the name of Charles King of Castille and his wife Marie Anne for "l'erection de la Terre & Seigneurie de Hove, en Baronnie" of "M. Guilleaume d'Espomereaux dict van Hove", dated May 10th 1675" refers to him in the presamble as having filled the offices of "Bourgmaitre, Eschevin, & Tresorier general de nostre ville d'Anvers, & qui'il nous auroit continué en celles d'Eschevin de Bourgemaistre de Bruxelles" and refers to "la bonne disposition des Octroys, qui luy auroient esté enchargé pour nostre service"[692]

Interestingly, George Bosschaert and his wife Marie Anna Despomeraux, deceased, appear in the context of the name of "Hieronimus Brugmans" in a record dated September 1688: "MDN/93 Stukken van de verkoop van een huis Jongelincx Hoff aan de Merckgrave Leye te Antwerpen, door de erfgenamen van George Bosschaert en Marie Anna Despomeraux, heren van Boom, aan Hieronimus Brugmans, deken collegiale kerk van Sint-Jacob, 27 september 1688"[693]

Adrian Goldsmith [alt. Adriaen Goltsmit] - living in Antwerp, but earlier at Malaga, and believed to be a Hamburger; mentioned in case brought by Christopher Boone [ADD REFERENCE]; merchant; according to Derrick Heytman, master of the Saint John Baptist Adrian Goldsmith was a Hamburger, who had lived for a long time in Spain, and who had moved to Antwerp in early 1652.[695] This is possible, since in a later claim from 1655 ("The claime of Adrian Goldsmith of Antwerp and others for goods in the Hare in the feild, John Kein Master"), the London merchant, John Nicolas, had been an assurer for goods of Adrian Goldsmith on the ship and stated in a deposition in support of this claim that he had seen a letter, prior to his subscription to the assurance policy "that the said goods were laden for the accompt of Mr Goldsmith of Antwerp and (as hee remembreth) other friends of hamborowe"[696]

The metadata for a document dated 1668 held at the Museum Plantin in Antwerp identify a Catharina Bollaert as the widow of Adrian Goltsmit ("Verklaring van Catharina Bollaert, weduwe van Adriaen Goltsmit over het ontvangen van een wisselbrief door bemiddeling van Henri François Schilders, 1668")[697] In the same document depository there is a record of "Rosso, Silvestro en Goltsmitt, Gillis, 1677, Cadiz 1 stuk"[698]

Derrick Heytman also stated that Adrian Goldsmith owned six sixteenth parts of the Saint John Baptist in 1653, the other owners being "G[?e]romus Snitger of Hamburgh owner of a 16th part, Daniel Brands of the same of a 16th part...Daniel Leon and ffrancis Panniq two Hamburgers of Sevill each a 32th part. Vincent dal Campo a Hamburger living at Cales owner of a sixteenth part, Christofer Bussel a Hamburger living at Malaga a 16th part, Maurice Halman, George [?Gryp] and company of Malaga all Hamburgers an 8th part, Boldwin Coleman of Gant an eighth part"[699] Derrick Heytman stated specifically in November 1653 of Adrian Goldsmith that he "hath not lived above a yeare and a halfe last or thereabouts at Antwerp, having longe before lived in Spaine"[700] The ship the Saint John Baptist was carrying goods from Malaga to Dunkirk at the time of her seizure. Interestingly the ship the Morning Star, which was seized the previous year, and in which Goldsmith was lead owner and had goods, was also in her course from Malaga when seized by the English.

"Adrian Goldsmith" was the lead owner of the ship the Morning Star ("The claime of Adrian Goldsmith and company for the shipp the Morning Starr Henry Lawreson Veger Master") which was set out in July 1652 from Ostend for Mallega "to touch by the way at Biscay a porte of Spaine thereabouts to put men ashore that were transported from fflanders for the service of the Kinge of Spaine". The ship took in a lading of wine and fruit at Malaga and was seized by the English in her return course for Ostend. The other ship owners were Gilles Billet "in right of Vincent Clingenbergh of Hamborough", Phillip da Papa and the ship's master, Henry Lawreson Veger. The ship's master stated that Gilles Billet had been an inhabitant at Gant for the last 20 months, and that "Phillip da Papa dwelt formerly at Dunquirke but hath lived at Ostend ever since the ffrench tooke Dunquirke which was about 6 yeares since". Phillip da Papa had rnow returned to Dunkirk since its recapture by the Spanish.[701] The master identified the two Malaga merchants Andreas Massa and Charles [?Van damma] as Adrian Golsmith's factors at Malaga, and added that "doe live in Mallaga in the same house where the said Adrian for many yeares lived, and which hee (as this deponent hath heard) gave over unto them"[702] Furthermore, Veger had known Andreas Massa and Charles Vandamma for a yeare last "and saith the said Massa is a hamburger and Charles Vandamma an Antwerpian by birth, and that the said Massa is a widower and the said Vandamma (as hee beleveth) a batchellour"[703] There is a related "Claime of Adrian Goldsmith Walter Boschaert of Antwerp, and others of Lisle and Gant for goods in the Morning Starr"[704] and a further "Clayme of Vincent Klingenbergh mrchant of Hamborough for his goods in the Morning Starr[705]

There is a further record of Adrian Goldsmith trading with Malaga, though in this case on the route Hamburg to Malaga, without involving Flanders. The record also cshows Goldsmiths close relationship with the Hamburg based partnership of Daniel Brand and Jerome Snutger. The two Malaga resident factors mentioned in this record to whom goods were shipped are the same factors mmentioned as factors of Adrian Goldsmith in the HCA case concerning the ship the Morning Star. According to John Menke, the Hamburg resident master of the ship the Leaping Hart, the ship was freighted not on account of her owners but "by theis merchants of Hamburgh whose names are Daniel Brandt and Jerome Sny[?eter] for account of Adrian Goldsmith but there was not as he saith any Charter partie of affringement, or any bills of lading made for the goods by them the sayd merchants laden aboard her the sayd shippe"[706] The lading of the ship consisted on the outward journey from Hamburg consisted of twenty thousand pipestaves, laden by Brandes and Dyneter fpr the account of Mr Adrian Goldsmith, a fatt of skins for Synter and some cheese and butter for Menke himself. The ship sailed from Hamburg directly to Malaga and was seized by the English on its return from Malaga to Hamburg and carried into Plymouth. According to Memke, Goldsmith's pipestaves were consigned and delivered to "Andreas Mars[?ch] or [?Marsa] and Carlos van Dam att Malaga or [?Masa] att Malaga but was not delivered to him but was taken and plundered out of the sayd shipp in her passage by some ffrench Capers."[707] The owners of the ship on which Goldsmith's goods were ransported were all Hamburgers ("Augustin Hendrickson was and is owner of one eighth part of the sayd shipp the Leaping Hart, Harman Hendrickson of one 16th part. Simon Cornelison Prophet of one 16th part. and Bartall Yonkall was and is owner of one halfe of the sayd shipp and Peter Wield and his brother whose name att present he remembreth not were and are owners of one eighth part of the sayd shipp. and saith that the sayd present Owners bought their sayd respective parts and shares therein about 7 monethes now past att Hamburgh of and from the foresaid Peter Bruyer and his brother")[708] The ship itself was relatively small, with just eleven men and boys on board. Adrian Goldsmith's goods on the return voyage are not explicitly identified by John Menke, but it is likely that they were raisins and possibly some Malaga wines, which were the goods Memke shipped for himself.[709]

The connection between Adrian Goldsmith and known Hamburg merchants and factors is reinforced by the testimony of Francis Thoris, the former book keeper to the English merchant and factor in Seville, Anthony Upton, who was the Seville correspondent of Christopher Boone back in London. Thoris stated that "Antonio de Leon and ffrancisco Panninck" were the Spanish agents (possibly based in Seville) of Adrian Goldsmith and made a bargain with Anthony Upton in Seville on behalf of Goldsmith.[710]; "Testimony by Adriaen Goltsmit insurer to Cornelis Cock on cargo in the ship Prins Willem, sailing from Middelburg to Biscay, which stranded in England. Most merchandise was sold in Zealand, 1656."[711]

John Moller [signs as "Juan Moller"] [Possibly related to John Moller, George Boschaert's cashier] - living at Antwerp, had lived in Cadiz in Spain for five years and now in Antwerp with George Boschaert for two years[712]; servant and cashier of Antwerp merchant George Bosschaert; "John Moller is an Hamburgher by birth and liveth att Antwerp"[713]; lived in Spaine with George Boschaet when "yonge".[714]; Hamburg Mariner Michael van Lubken had known John Moller "by the space of eight yeares last past and upwards...for all the tyme allegate hee the said Moller hath bin and att present is a person that tradeth from fflanders into Spaine for plate and silver", with correspondents at Cadiz and Saint Lucar[715]

John Moller appears in a later HCA case in which he claimed for plate and money in a ship named the Saint Mary (master: John Vann Lynen), of which he had been cape merchant on a voyage from Amsterdam to Santa Crise in the West Indies and back to Amsterdam.. In that case Joachim Stoll, the boatswain of the Saint Mary stated in March 1658that "hee hath not knowne the said Moll[?a]r, longer than a little before his being soe hired and embarked as aforesaid at Amsterdam, where the said Mollar then lived in the house of Philip van hulten, and saith hee is as this deponent taketh it a batchelour, and a native of Hamborow"[716]

See: "Conrado Moller, 1642-6-28: Expediente de información y licencia de pasajero a indias de Conrado Moller, mercader, natural de Hamburgo (Alemania) y vecino de Sevilla, hijo de Juan Moller y de Catalina Moller, a Nueva España. Incluye Relación de Mercaderías. Fecha de la licencia"[717]; speculatively, the "John Mollers" (there may be an elder and a younger) may be related to the family of Johann Moller (b.?, d.1606) identified as one of the Hamburg Oberälter[718]; see also Wikipedia entry: 'Moller vom Baum'[719]

Albert Lemmermann - living at Amsterdam; merchant

Claim in HCA in November 1655 on behalf of "Albert Lemmermann, Abraham Amper and companie merchants of Amsterdam and places thereabouts" for the ship and goods of the Saint Jacob of Amsterdam;[723] Hendrick Martyson, of Stralesund in Pommerland, principal boatswain of the Saint Jacob deposed in November 1655 that the ship was bound from Porto Porto in Portugal for Amsterdam, laden with sumack, elephants teeth, linens, sweet meats and some other goods

Jacob del Monte - living at Amsterdam; consignee of goods at Amsterdam from Seville merchant Blas de La Pena; Bernardo Armandaris, a young merchant of Pamplona in Spain, deposed in July 1650 that goods were laden on board the ship the Prince, presumably at the Canaries, bound from the Canaries for Amsterdam. "Blas de lapena of Sevill by his factor there laded aboard the said shipp within the said time 496 hides marked as in the margin of the said schedule, and consigned them to Jacob del Monte of Amsterdam"[724]

Adrian Poulson - living in the [?Strasse market] in Amsterdam; ?merchant; has not yet been identified; Abraham Johnson, a witness for the Commonwealth in the Silver ships litigation, and a former long term resident of Amsterdam, stated that Otto George “delivered silver to one living at the signe of the Grave van Buren neere the old church in Amsterdam the the name of which person there living hee remembreth not, alsoe to Mr Coymans living in the Keisars or Cesars gracht, Adrian Poulson living in the [?Strasse] market, Mr Webster on the Keisars gracht, and to Mr Vanderstraten dwelling on the Heeres gracht in Amsterdam”[725]

Mr Vanderstraten [Probably Jan van der Straaten] - living in the Keysars or Cesars gracht in Amsterdam; merchant; Abraham Johnson, a witness for the Commonwealth in the Silver ships litigation, and a former long term resident of Amsterdam, stated that Otto George “delivered silver to one living at the signe of the Grave van Buren neere the old church in Amsterdam the the name of which person there living hee remembreth not, alsoe to Mr Coymans living in the Keisars or Cesars gracht, Adrian Poulson living in the [?Strasse] market, Mr Webster on the Keisars gracht, and to Mr Vanderstraten dwelling on the Heeres gracht in Amsterdam”[728]

Joachim Verpoorten - living at Amsterdam as a merchant stranger; correspondent of Hamburg born but San Lucar resident merchant John Scrother (and possibly of the Lemmerman family in Hamburg); possibly a Hamburgher, or at least of German origin; Jacob Wigandi stated that "in the moneth of October 1652. arlate and for some yeares before and to this present there was and is communication and correspondence in the way of trade between the arlate John Scrother and Joachim Verpoorten a ffactor or merchant stranger residing at Amsterdam who was and is named in the bills of lading predeposed"[729]; Jan Stootenpapa stated that "hee well knoweth the interrate Joachim Verpoorten who is also a High German and resideth as a ffactor or merchant stranger at Amsterdam, and doeth ffactory for the said John Scrother but not hee for the said Verpoorten"[730]

Joachim Verpoorten may have been related to Philip Verpoorten, a Hamburg merchant, resident at Hamburg. Philip van Dunhem, Hamburg master of the ship the Saint Mary, identified in November 1653 "Arnold Belties and Philip Verpoorten burghers and merchants of Hamborough" having taken his ship to freight by charter party with the ship owners for a voyage from Hamburg to Archangell in Muscovie to lade Russian leather to be transported to Ligorne"[731]; Kotilaine (2005) identifies the Beltgens, Verpoorten, Tobias Homait (?), Peter Pot, Johann Hasse, and Franz De la calle, as a group of Hamburg merchants who in 1653 took over all caviar trade with Russia for a two-year period. Kotilaine adds that "Philipp Verpoorten and Arnold Beltgens leased the Musovite government's caviar monopoly around 1670, a position they held until 1678" and that "Verpoorten also leased the salmon monopoly with Butenant who, in addition, took part in a mast monopoly." The key to Hamburg merchant involvement in the Russian caviar and salmon trade, according to Kotilaine, was "the importance of Hamburg shipping between Russia and the Mediterranean", which benefitted fromHamburg merchants naturally enjoying "a comparative advantage over the Dutch in trade with Spain"[732]

Kellenbenz (1954) devotes considerable space to the Verpoorten family. For example, he identifies the firm of Jacob and Johann Verpoorten as active in trade between Hamburg and San Lucar in the first decade of the C17th. He states that "Adrian Verpoortens Erbe übernahm die Firma Jacob und Johann Verpoorten, die 1612 aus Lucar Ingwer einführte."[733]; Kellenbenz' work on the Verpoorten connection with Hamburg/Spanish trade merits following up.

Mr Webster - living on the Keisarsgracht in Amsterdam; has not yet been identified; Abraham Johnson, a witness for the Commonwealth in the Silver ships litigation, and a former long term resident of Amsterdam, stated that Otto George “delivered silver to one living at the signe of the Grave van Buren neere the old church in Amsterdam the the name of which person there living hee remembreth not, alsoe to Mr Coymans living in the Keisars or Cesars gracht, Adrian Poulson living in the [?Strasse] market, Mr Webster on the Keisars gracht, and to Mr Vanderstraten dwelling on the Heeres gracht in Amsterdam”[734]

Albert Anquelman [alt. Ankelman; Anckelmann] - living at Hamburg; merchant; consignee of 16 bars of silver in the Wheele of ffortune[839]

ffrancis Sloyer freighted the ship the Crowne Imperial (Master: Hans Meynerson) in July 1653 at Hamburg for Cadiz "to goe to Cadiz and carry barley, beanes and peece goods, which were laden by him and Peter [?Roodt], Derrick Dobbelar, Albert Ankelman, and other merchants of Hambourough”. At Cadiz delivered to “Daniel Sloyer, Vincent Van Campen, John Scrother and others, factors and merchants there residing"[840]

Marin Reissmann (1975) states "Das Testament des Albert Anckelmann verzeichnet 50,000 Mk als Erbgut"[841]

The German Wikipedia entry on "Anckelmann" states "Die Familie Anckelmann ist eine hanseatische und sächsische Kaufmanns-, Rats- und Gelehrtenfamilie des 16. bis 19. Jahrhunderts."[842]

Friedrich Georg Buek (1857) identifies "Tolen Anckelmann" (b.1469, d.1540) as one of the Hamburg Oberälter and as the son of a migrant from Schwäbisch Hall. One of Tolen Anckelmann's sons, Caspar Anckelmann (b.?, d. 1615), married three times, with his second and third wives bearing five and eight children respectively. Of these children by his second and third marriages, Caspar, Joachim, Eberhard and Diedrich had children, whereas Albert, Vincent and Johann Ernst died childless.[843] It is possible that the childless Albert Anckelmann is the "Albert Anquelman" who was the consignee of silver in the Wheele of ffortune

See also "'Bauhoffs=Bürger': 1661: Joachim Anckelmann" in Albertus Fabricius (1730).[844]; see "Die Herren Juraten der Kirche St. Petri:... 1641 Dietr. Ankelmann, gestorben 1643, 9. März"[845]

A well researched modern history of the Anckelmann family groups the three childless male children of Capar Anckelmann and provides some basic dates: "Albert (b.1603, d.1680), Vincent (b.ca. 1605), und Johann Ernst (b. ca. 1606) Anckelmann" and states "dass sie alle längere Zeit gelebt haben sollen, aber schliesslich unverheiratet in Hamburg gestorben sein. Wir dürfen annehmen, dass sie Kaufleute wurden und ihre "Lehr-und Wanderjahre" in spanischen Niederlassungen oder bei Geschäftspartnern des Handelshauses Anckelmann verbrachten. Noch von einem weiteren Anckelmann wissen wir über Verbindungen über Sevilla. Alberto Rodrigo...der Sohn des 1633 verstorbenen Caspar Anckelmann...und Halbneffe der drei, der dort wie ausgeführt eine Witwe heiratet und als Katholik start (s.o.)"[846]

Abraham Ankelman - living in Hamburg; merchant; Thomas Andreison, a mariner and ship's master of Hamburg, stated that Abraham Ankelman was "of the Domb Hamburgh" and was of "middle middle age black haire and complexion swarthy.”[847]

Everard Anquerman - dwelling at Hamburg; merchant; mentioned by John Hey, master of the Goulden Mill of Hamburg, in a list of Hamburgers who were freighters for their own account from Hamburg on the Goulden Mill on a voyage to Malaga: "Harman [?Rentzell] Mr Peter van Sprechel Adrian Yonker William de Labiestradt Everard Anquerman, Godfrey and Joachim Scholt and Jerome Snitcher all Burghers and inhabitants of Hamburgh ever since this deponent can remember, and Mr Augustine [?Brun] George Kirkhoof Hans van [Jerusalem] and George Moller for three yeares or thereabouts dwelling also at Hamburgh"[848]

Basilius a Basill [alt. Baselius van/von Bastell/Bostell; van Barstell; Bosell van Bustle] - living at Hamburg; one of four original owners of the Hamburg ship the Patriarke Jacob, built in 1648. He sold his 1/16th share to the master of the ship Claes Colbrandt in 1652[849]

Friedrich Georg Buek (1857) identifies "Basilius von dem Bostel" (b.1599; d.1669). Buek states that the von Bostel family came originally from Bremen and was raised to nobility in 1566 by the Erzbischof of Bremen. Despite the Bostel name, the source states the family came from Kirchdorfe Ussel, rather than Bostel (more accurately Borstel) in Kirchspiele Buessleth. Basilius came to Hamburg and was elected many offices including to the Bakers Livery company in 1643, became a Hamburg Jurat in 1649, a Bancoburger in 1653, a member of the Admiralty in 1655, and a Ratsherr in 1666. He died in October 1669. He married Magdalena Siechmann, daughter of the merchant Hermann Siechmann, and had seven children[850]

"Basilius von Bostell" is mentioned in a Reichskammergericht case (1639-1660) brought by Wilhelm Garven, citizen of Hamburg and later of Glückstadt, against the Rat der Stadt Hamburg. Metadata for the case includes the description: "Justizverzögerung in einem Streit um Kautionsleistung und Arrest von Waren sowie um einen Vergleichsvorschlag und eine Schadensersatzforderung des Klägers in Höhe von 10 000 Reichstalern in dem Beleidigungsprozess des Klägers gegen Basilius von Bostell, Seidenkrämer im Hamburg, der behauptet hatte, dass eine vom Kläger angeblich bei Levi Musche, Jude in Altona, gekaufte Partie Caffa ihm gestoheln worden sei."[851]

Albert Balthazar Beerents [alt. Behrens; Berens; Albert Baltzer Berens] - living at Hamburg; insurer of 2,000 li flemmish money on one of the three Silver Ships; [852] ; Danish resident in Hamburg

A contract has been preserved in the Hamburg archives between the inheritors of the estate of Albert Baltasar Berens der Älter concerning the settlement of parental debts. They are listed as "Anna van de Wiele, geborene Berens, Paul Klingenberg, Albert Baltasar Berens dem Jüngeren und Gabriel Berens". The mother's testament is dated March 1664.[853]; a related document in the Staatsarchiv Hamburg from the period 1657 - 1689 is titled "Schuldverschreibungen des Franz Ludwig van de Wiele in Hamburg, der Erben des Albert Baltasar Berens des Älteren, erbgesessen in Dänemark, Norwegen und Wandsbek, und der Anna van de Wiele, geborene Berens, ihre Tilgung durch diese sowie andere Geldangelegenheiten der Anna van de Wiele"[854]; Cornelia Berens is identified as a further daughter of Albert Baltasar Berens der Älterer in a marriage record between Andrea Tom Loo und Cornelia Berens, dated ca. 1666; [855] Albert Baltasar Berens der Jüngerer is identified post mortem in a further document dated 1671-1672 as Albert Baltasar Berens der Jüngerer zu Wandsbek, married to Anne Marguerite, geborene Marselis, his widow.[856]

An online source concerning the "Geschichte des Gutes Wandbeck" states that "1645 verkaufte Graf von Pentz Gut Wandsbek an den gebürtigen Holländer und hamburgischen Kaufmann Albert Balthasar Berens für 39.000 Taler Species. Dieser kaufte 1646 von Herzog Friedrich die Dörfer Hinschenfelde und Tonndorf sowie die Mühle bei Rahlstedt hinzu und vereinigte sie mit dem Gut. Der Preis : 12 Kanonen für die Festung Tönning a.d. Eider Behrens Erben verkauften Gut Wandsbek an den Etatsrath P. von Klingenberg zu Hanerau."[857]

An online sources states that Albert Baltzer Berens was born in Copenhagen in 1602, and from 1625 was active as a supplier to the Danish Crown. The same source states that he moved to Hamburg in 1630, and was in business together with his father-in-law Gabriel Marselis der der Älterer. The source draws on the work of the Danish researcher Dr. John T. Lauridsen, Kopenhagen mit dem Titel: Skibsbyggeri for den Danske Krone i Neustadt i 1640’rne (Schiffbau für die Dänische Krone in Neustadt in den 1640er Jahren.), and on a further work of Lauridsen, Krig, købmænd og kongemagt – og andre 1600-tals historier (Krieg, Kaufleute und Königsmacht – und andere Geschichten aus dem 17.Jhdt.) (1999).

An online genealogical source provides considerable detail in Danish on the family and on the man.

As to the family, the source states:

"Den her omhandlede Familie Berns (Berens, Bernds, Berntfz) er som mange andre udvandret fra Holland under Krigsurolighederne henimod Slutningen af det 16. Aarhundrede og fandt Tilflugt i København.

Stamfaderen Baltzer Berns "aus den Groninger Ommelanden" (Amerland), arbejdede sig op til Velstand og Anseelse i det københavnske Borgerskab, hvilket fremgaar af, at han i 1596 optoges i det danske Kompagnis Broderskab. I 1600 fik han selv tredie Bevilling paa at besejle Vespenø og vedblev hermed indtil 1604. Han havde flere Skibe i Søen og ejede en stor Gaard i Højbrostræde. B. Berns døde 1605 i København, og blev 27 Okt. bgr. i Nikolai Kirke. Hans Enke Nille Johansdatter indgik kort efter Ægteskab med Boldewin Blanquefort, eller rettere Baudouin Blanquefort, Emigrant fra Religionsforfølgelserne i Frankrig og antagelig hjemmehørende i Blanquefort i Gironde eller Lot et. Garonne. Hun døde 1633 i København. (bgr. 19 Juni i Nikolai Kirke), han selv, der 1626 optoges i det danske Kompagnis Broderskab, døde Natten mellem 13-14 Jan. Aaret efter (bgr. 17 Jan. i Nikolai Kirke). - Baltzer Berns' og Johanne Nielsdatters Søn var."[858]

As to the man, the same source states:

"ALBERT BALTSAR (BALTHASAR) BERNS. født 20 Jan. 1602 i København, leverede tidligst 1625-27 Skyts og Ammunition til Hæren, havde i 1627 Skibe paa Arkhangel, som herfra udførte Korn til Brug for Hæren, og var Aaret efter bosiddende i København som Kornleverandør i Kompagniskab med sin senere Svoger Gabriel Marselis, hvilket indledede det nære Forhold mellem Familierne Berns og Marselis saavel i Henseende til Handelsfællesskab som til Indgifte. I 1631 (29 April) blev han beskikket til kgl. Faktor i Hamborg, senere ogsaa til kgl. og hertugelig holsten-gottorpsk Kommissær, og oprettede her sammen med sin anden Svoger Leonhard Marselis et Handelshus, der drev Forretninger paa Holland og Østersøen, medens Berns især overtog Leverancen af alle mulige Fornødenheder til Hoffet og forstrakte Kongen med betydelige Pengelaan. For egen Regning købte A. B. Berns i 1645 af Grev C. Pentz Wandsbek for 39.000 Spd., tilkøbte i 1646 af Hertug Frederik af Gottorp Landsbyerne Tonndorf og Hinschenfelde som Udlæg for en Fordring paa 12.000 Rd, og fik i 1648 Landsbyerne overdraget til Arv og Eje mod at levere 12 Metalkanoner til Fæstningen Tovningen, forstrakte Kong Frederik 111 i Dec. s. A. med et Laan af 40 000 Rd., fik 1651 sammen med L. Marselis udlagt Lund Hovedgaard og Bustrup Gaard paa Mors (Rødding) for 53 900 Rd.; - døde 20 Aug. 1652 i Wandsbek."[859]

His wife's name and dates are given as Elizabeth Marselis, b.ca. 1615; mar.1629, Hamburg; d.1664. Her father is given as Gabriel Marselis (b.ca.1575, Brabant; m.1597; d.1643, Hamburg). Her mother is given as Anne l'Hermite (b.?; m.1597, Rotterdam; d.ca.1617)[860] Background on Gabriel Marselis states: "Gabriel Marselis, handlede i over 30 år på Rusland, var i en længere årrække bosiddende i Moskva, vandt Czaren Michail Feodorowitsch' yndest, især ved at hjælpe til hans fader Philaret Nikititsch' befrielse af fangenskab i 1618, var en tid bosiddende i Rotterdam og i Amsterdam, hvor han 1634 var kgl. dansk faktor, senest i Hamborg som dansk kommissær og resident og ydede også her tillige Rusland vigtige tjenester ved at bane vejen for dets udsendinge og hververe, død 20. juli 1643 i Hamborg."[861]

Martin Reissmann (1975) identifies "Albert Baltzer Berens", "Cord Berens" and "Hermann Berens".[862]

Harman Berens - living at Hamburg; goods on board the Hamburg ship the Hope (Master: Thomas Andreison)[863]

Martin Reissmann (1975) identifies "Albert Baltzer Berens", "Cord Berens" and "Hermann Berens".[864]

Arnold Belties [alt. Beltgens] - living at Hamburg; merchant; Philip van Dunhem, Hamburg master of the ship the Saint Mary, identified in November 1653 "Arnold Belties and Philip Verpoorten burghers and merchants of Hamborough" having taken his ship to freight by charter party with the ship owners for a voyage from Hamburg to Archangell in Muscovie to lade Russian leather to be transported to Ligorne"[865]

Arnold Beltgens appears with his "Kompagnon Philipp Verpoorten", both Hamburg merchants, as plaintiffs in a Reichskammergericht case from 1680-82. The defendant is the Hamburg mariner ("Schiffer"), Peter Tam. The case mentions the arrest and loss of Tam's ship off the coast of Ireland and related costs and breach of contract on a voyage from Archangelsk to Livorno.[866]

Martin Reissmann (1975) identifies "Arnold Belgens" in the context of sourcing goods from Russia.[867]

Rudolf Berenberg [alt. Ruloff Berenberg] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one of Franz Sloyer's guarantors in litigation following Vincent van Kampen's death.

Martin Reissmann (1975) identifies the Berenberg family of Hamburg as having origins in the Netherlands.[868]

Abraham de Bois [alt. Abraham du Bois; Abraham de Boyes] - living in Hamburg; burger and subject of Hamburg; deceased; original part-owner of one eighth of the Saint George[869]

Maartje van Gelder (2009) identifies the du Bois family as part of a complex European trade network in the first half of the C17th. He names Alvise du Bois, who was located in Venice and involved in a partnership founded by Martin Hureau in Cologne in 1608. Alvise returned to the Low Countries in 1638 (p.203). He also names Alvise's brother, Abraham du Bois, who he states was resident in Hamburg, and who later joined the Hureau led partnership.[870]

Roland Baetens (1976) writes in a footnote that "Abraham du Bois was te Hamburg uitgegroeid tot een vermogendste kooplieden".[871]

Reinhard Löhmann (1969) identifies a link between the du Bois and Wolters families of Hamburg, with Jacoba du Bois, daughter of Abraham du Bois, marrying Liebert Wolters in 1641.[872] Löhmann also mentions a "Louis du Bois", who may be the son, "Lawrence de Bois" who took over his father's part-ownership of the Salvador.[873]

A genealogical source is consistent with Reinhard Löhmann, giving the parents of Jakoba du Bois (b.1622, Köln Rhein) as Abraham du Bois and Barbara Boudewein, and giving Jakoba's husband as Liebert Wolters (b.1607, Stade, Niedersachsen, m.1641, Hamburg, d.1664).[874] The same source gives the father of Abraham du Bois as "Louis Bois", of Amsterdam, and his mother as Gertrude Bellevord.[875]

Roland Baetens identifies Abraham du Bois as the receipient in Hamburg in 1632 of 60,000 dukaten sent from Venice by the widow of Alvise du Bois' partner [?XXX] Hureau.[876] See Du Bois family

Lawrence de Bois [alt. Louis du Bois; Lovis du Bois; Lewis du Bois] - living in Hamburg; merchant; "liveth in the [?Nantrem] where his father Abram (sic) de Bois aforesayd dwelt"[877]

Part-owner of one eighth of one of the three "Silver Ships", the Saint George (Master: John Martinson Dorp)[878]

Segar Splinter, master of the Hamburg ship the Saint Mary, states that "Lewis du Bois" and "Abraham Vande Luffell", were citizens and inhabitants of Hamburg, and that he had known them to be such for seven years. They were owners of the Saint Mary, which they laded for their joint account with diverse stuffs, horses and pipestaves, bound from Hamburg to Lisbon, to be delivered to their Lisbon agents or correspondents Peter Hassche and Martin [?Beverbergh][879] Splinter states that Lewis du Bois is a married man and dwells "in the Nantraen street", whereas Vande Luffell is a bacherlor and swells "in the groote Barker street", both in Hamburg.[880]

Martin Holst, master of the Lubeck built, but Hamburg owned ship, the Neptune, listed the Neptune's owners as including "Adrian Juncker" (possibly the brother of John Baptist Jouncker), "Gryst Boremaster, Grete Burmaster", together with "ffrancis Sloyer, Lewis du Boyes" and others.[881]

Baetens mentions "Lewis en Abraham du Bois".[882]

Gerrit Bowmaster [alt. Garret Boormaster; B(a)urmeister] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one eighth part-owner of the Salvador[883] [884]

Martin Holst, master of the Lubeck built but Hamburg owned ship the Neptune, listed the Neptune's owners as including "Adrian Juncker" (possibly the brother of John Baptist Jouncker), "Gryst Boremaster, Grete Burmaster", together with "ffrancis Sloyer, Lewis du Boyes" and others.[885]

Hance Heytman, master of the Sampson of Hamburg [not the same ship as Otto George's Sampson of Lubeck] listed "Garret Booremaster" as the owner of one quarter of that ship, which had been built in Lubeck in 1636 and purchased new by Heytman on behalf of Hamburg owners ("Garret Booremaster, Hendrick Cordes his heires, John Eykehoff, Matthias Heyndrick, Hendrick Heytman, and hee this deponent all Hamburgers and natives and dwellers there all their times have bin and are the true and lawfull owners of the said shipp the Sampson of Hamburgh and of her tackle and furniture, namely the said Garret Booremaster of a fourth and each of the said other persons of an eighth part thereof"[886]

"Gerrit Boremaster" was owner of one sixteenth part of the ship the Saint Paul of Hamburg (Master: Hendrick Luck), which was seized by the English returning from Cadiz to Hamburg in 1653 with a mixed cargo. The full list of owners was "Francis van Bremen and Peter van Bremen his brother who together are owners of halfe of the said shipp, Arnoult Van Hasedonck and Hendrick van Hasedonck his brother, who together have an eighth part in the said shipp; Gerrit Boremaster, Albert Stockman, and Michael van Lubkin each and every one a sixteenth part; Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer aforesaid together a sixteenth part namely each a 32th part, Mathias Hennrick a 32th part, Joachim Martins a 32th part, and this deponent [EDITOR: the master Hendrick Luck] a sixteenth part"[887]

Hermann Kellenbenz (1954) devotes several pages to the Burmeister family, which he states was active in the Spanish and Portuguese trade from the C17th. He identifies a Gerhard Burmeister, a Gerdt Burmeister and a Gise Burmeister. He states "Die grosse Firma Groenendael & Verpoorten sowie Gise Burmeister schickten ihre Frachten an Gerdt Burmeister bzw. Christoffer Meyer. Die Burmeister, schon im 16. Jahrhundert im hamburgischen Iberienhandel tätig..."[888]. Kellenbenz tentatively identifes three brothers, Peter, Gise and Gerdt Burmeister, together with a sister Catharina, who married Christian Holst[889]. Kellenbenz states that from 1620 onwards Gise Burmeister worked "mit der grossen Firma Groenendel & Verpoorten zusammen".[890]

Daniell Brandes [alt. Daniel Brandes; Danyell Brands; Danyel Brands; Brandt; Brandts; D. Brandes] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one eighth part-owner of the Salvador[891] [892]

Claus Colbrandt, master of the Patriarke Jacob of Hamburg, stated in December 1653 that "the Patriarke Jacob in the yeare 1648 was built att the costs and for the accompt of the sayd Daniel Brands Adolph Sampton and Company then and now all Burghers of Hamburgh". A further statement by Colbrandt makes clear that there were originally five commmissioners and owners of the ship, under the blanket term of Daniel Brandes and company. These were Daniel Brands [Brandes], Adolph Sumpton, Jan Norris, Claus Colbrandt and Basilius a Bastill [alt Basilius de Bostell]. De Bostell, however, sold his 1/16th part of the ship to Claus Colbrandt in January 1653.[893]

John Hey, master of the Hamburg ship the Goulden Mill (with a crew of 14 men and boys) stated in a deposition in the English High Court of Admiralty that his ship was "fraighted upon Charter partie by Jerome Snitcher and Daniel Brandts Merchants and Burghers of Hamborough" for a voyage from Hamburg to Malaga and back in 1653, carrying goods for the two merchants, together with other Hamburg merchants.[894]

Peter van Dunhem, master and part-owner of the Lubeck built ship the Saint Mary of Hamburg stated in the English High Court of Admiralty that "Daniel Brandts" was owner of a one eighth part in his ship. The complete list of owners was "Henry Selm, Daniel Brandts, Wilkin Wrede, Philip Collin[?s] Derrick Thooneman, Balthazar Pauland ffrans van Bremen Gregorie Harman", together with Peter van Dunhem and his brother-in-law ffrancis [?Meynke]. The ship was returning from a voyage from Archangel to Ligorne and Venice (touching also at Cadiz) when she was seized, having previously come from Lisbon to Hamburg carrying salt and sugar.[895]

In two further cases in the English High Court of Admiralty, "David Brandt" was part-owner of the ship the Saint John Baptist[896], and "Daniel Brandes and Jeronimo Snitger marchants of Hamborough" were consignees of "one barr of silver weighing one hundred fourtie one marjes two ounces" in the ship the Wheele of ffortune[897]

Finally, the case of the seizure in November 1653 of the Hamburg ship the Saint Michaell also knowne as the Angell Michaell, led to a claim by "Danyell Brands and Jeronimo Snitger for theire silver", which had been laden on the ship. Peter Scholenburgh, mate of the seized ship, deposed in support of the claim. A forty-four year old Hamburg mariner, he stated that "hee hath beene a neere neighbour to the producents Danyell Brand and Jeronimo Snitgar for many yeares And well knoweth for theis twenty yeares past or thereabouts the said producents respectively have driven a constant and usuall trade from Hamborowe to Saint Lucar Cadiz and other Ports and places in Spayne for silver and other merchandizes which hee knoweth for that he this deponent hath bin imployed by them in voyages from Hamborowe to Spayne and from thence hath brought home goods wares and merchandizes and others of this deponents knowledge have brought silver from Spayne to Hamborowe for theire accompt and soe much is generally knowne in Hamborowe amongst such as knowe the producents and each of them"[898]

Roland Baetens (1976) makes reference to a firm or partnership of "Brandes-Snutquer, die als inkoopcommissionair optrad."[899] Baetens also lists the firm "D.Brandes en J.Snutquer" against Danzig.[900]. In a footnote, Baetens makes reference to two letters from D. Brandes, the first dated 18th October 1654 and the second dated 31st January 1655, giving the source as the Antwerp Insolventen Boedelskamer[901]

Martin Reismann (1975) makes multiple references to "Daniel Brandes und Jeronymus Schnitker"[902]. He lists their firm in a table of "Handelsfirmen mit Umsätzen von mehr als 100 000 Mk"[903]

Jorun Poettering (2013) makes just one tabular reference to David Brandes and Jeronimus Schnitker[904]

ffrans van Bremen - living at ?Lübeck; merchant

"ffrans van Bremen" was part-owner of the Saint Mary of Hamburg (Master: Peter van Dunhem) in 1653. The complete list of owners was Henry Selm, Daniel Brandts, Wilkin Wrede, Philip Collin[?s], Derrick Thooneman, Balthazar Pauland, ffrans van Bremen, Gregorie Harman, the ship's master Peter van Dunhem, and van Dunhem's brother-in-law. The ship was seized by the English under charter by other Hamburgers en route from Ligorne back to Hamburg, having sailed on its outward journey from Hamburg to Archangel in Muscovy and down to Ligorne.[905]

"Francis van Bremen and Peter van Bremen his brother" were owners of half the ship the Saint Paul of Hamburg (Master: Hendrick Luck), which was seized by the English returning from Cadiz to Hamburg in 1653 with a mixed cargo. The full list of owners was "francis van Bremen and Peter van Bremen his brother who together are owners of halfe of the said shipp, Arnoult Van hasedonck and Hendrick Van Hasedonck his brother, who together have an eighth part in the said shipp; Gerrit Boremaster, Albert Stockman, and Michael van Lubkin each and every one a sixteenth part; Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer aforesaid together a sixteenth part namely each a 32th part, Mathias Hennrick a 32th part, Joachim Martins a 32th part, and this deponent [EDITOR: the master Hendrick Luck] a sixteenth part"[906]

Hendrick Luck, Hamburg resident master of the Saint Paul states that the ship the Saint Paul was purchased at Lübeck prior to being sent from Lübeck to Dronten in Norway and then on to Cadiz, having been fitted out by two Hamburg merchants, Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer. A Peter van Bremen appears in the Lübeck Staatsarchiv located in Lübeck, so it is possible that Peter van Bremen, and indeed his brother ffrans van Bremen, were located in Lübeck rather than Hamburg.[907]

See document in Lubeck Staatsarchiv dated 1657: "Lübeck an Hamburg: Beschwerde des Peter van Bremen aus Lübeck, Gläubiger des verstorbenen Albert Timmermann aus Hamburg, über den Raub der bei ihm unter Arrest gelegenen Gelder durch Peter Timmermann, Sohn des Albert, und dessen ehemaligen Diener Gotthilf Steinmetz"[908]

Peter van Bremen - living at Lübeck; merchant

A Peter van Bremen appears in the Lübeck Staatsarchiv located in Lübeck, so it is possible that Peter van Bremen, and indeed his brother ffrans van Bremen, were located in Lübeck rather than Hamburg.[910]

See document in Lubeck Staatsarchiv dated 1657: "Lübeck an Hamburg: Beschwerde des Peter van Bremen aus Lübeck, Gläubiger des verstorbenen Albert Timmermann aus Hamburg, über den Raub der bei ihm unter Arrest gelegenen Gelder durch Peter Timmermann, Sohn des Albert, und dessen ehemaligen Diener Gotthilf Steinmetz"[911]

Pardon von Campen [alt. Paridom von Kampe] - ?living at Hamburg; father of Joachim van Campen;

Herman Kellenbenz (1954) mentioned "einen Paridom von Kampe in San Lucar, der mit Daniel Schloier in Hamburg in Geschäftsverbindung stand"[915]; Kellenbenz states that the Hamburg "von Kampe" was active in the "Tuchhandel" at the end of the C16th, identifying the two brothers Joachim von Kampe and Paridom von Kampe[916];

See also 'Bauhoffs=Bürger': 1669: Paridom von Kampe"[917]; appears in records of Hamburg Sanct Petri-kirche: "Paridom von Kampe, war hier 1595 Jurat, 1597 Oberalter, 1607 Senator, 1613 Kirchspielsherr und starb 1617"[918]; "Paridom" was a common name in the von Kampe family, with a "Paridom vom Kampe" (b.1626, m.1666, d.1691) son of father Eberhard vom Kampe, and a "Paridom von Kampen" (b.1580, m. 1619 and 1630, d.?) son of Joachim vom Kampe[919]

Martin Reissmann (1975) provides trade statistics for "Paridom von Kampe"[920]

Pedro da Campo [?vieta] - purser of the Sampson[921]; Also known as Peter Huckfeild [922]Pasquall Andrada, servant of Don Antonio da Ponte, stated that "the purser of the sayd shipps name was Pedro da Campo, and was as this deponent beleiveth an Hamburger"[923]

Berand. Jacob Carpfanger [alt. Berand J. Carpfanger; Berend] - ?living in Hamburg; ?merchant or ?ship's master

"Bernardt Jacobsen Carpfanger", described as "Kaufmann und Bürger zu Hamburg", brought a case in the Reichskammergericht (1646-1661) in the name of his wife Anna, daughter of Johann Harmsen, "Schiffer und Bürger zu Hamburg". The case was brought against "Matthias Giese und Johann von Horn als Vormünder der Kinder des Berend Dreier, Kaufmann in Hamburg." The dispute concerned "die Bezahlung einer Partie Leinwand im Werte von etwa 1000 Reichstaler durch die Kläger." The associated documentaion includes "Geschäftsbriefe und Abrechnungen von Kaufleuten aus Rouen und Amsterdamm 1646-1649; Gutachten von 1649 über die strittigen Fragen durch Sachverständige in Amsterdam (in niederländischer und deutscher Sprache)."[924]

The same "Bernardt Jacobsen Carpfanger" brought a related case in the Reichskammergericht ( 1661-1679(1662-1700)), again in the name of his wife, against "Thomas Utenholt in Hamburg als Bevollmächtigter des Berend und Matthias Dreier, Kaufleute in Cadix und Söhne des Berend Dreier." The associated documentaion includes an "Aufstellung über den Geldbesitz des Berend Dreier bei seinem Tode 1646."[925]; [926]

An earlier Reichskammergericht case (1635-1637,1643-1657) brought by "Robert Pal(l)mer, englischer Kaufmann in Hamburg, in Vollmacht des Heinrich Clever, Kaufmann in London" includes in its associated documentation an "Attest von 1643 des Johann Jakobsen Carpfanger, Schiffer in Hamburg, über die Besitzverhältnisse bei der strittigen Partie Kattun."[927]

Gustav Freytag (1852) states that "Berend Jacob Carpfanger was one of the captains of Hamburg. he was born in that city in 1623; he got his schooling, as was the custom, in the merchant service; he early became a member of the admiralty, and at last as captain of convoys, commander of one of the vessels of war which had to defend the merchantmen against pirates"[928]

Decloffe Classoft [alt. Dittelof Classoft; Detliffe Classoft; Detliff Classoff] - ?living in Hamburger; burger and subject of Hamburg; part-owner of one eighth of the Saint George[929]; lives "in the Dyck street"[930]

Vincent Clingeburgh [alt. Klingenbergh; Klingenberg] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one eighth part-owner of the Salvador[931] [932];

John Hey, master of the Hamburg owned ship the Goulden Mill (Master: John Hey), stated in November 1653 that the ship came from Cadiz to Hamburg earlier that year "laden with wyne and oyle for the accompt of Vincent [?Clinlenbergh], Cornelius de Hartegh and Christian Laurens the principall Owners of her then Cargo, and for others, all Merchants and Burghers of Hamburgh"[933]

Probably the "Vincent Klingenberg" mentioned as active in the Hamburg-Iberian trade in the study by Martin Reissman (1975) of Hamburg merchants in C17th.[934] Reissman identified him as the son of a brewer, born in 1615.[935]

Other secondary sources suggest that Vincent Klingenberg was the nephew of the Danish Postmaster-General in Hamburg, Paul [von] Klingenberg, who was also a Danish Admiralty Counsellor ("Admiralitätsrat")[936], and that Vincent Klingenberg became a director of the Danish Guinea Company in Glückstadt in 1660.[937] See Klingenberg (alt. Kligenbergh; Clingenburgh) family "Vincent [?Clinlenbergh], Cornelius de Hartegh and Christian Laurens" was one of the principal owners of a cargo of wine and oil shipped from Cadiz to Hamburg circa 1662 or early 1653 in the Hamburg ship the Goulden Mill[938]

An online genealogical source identifies a "Povil I. von Klingenberg" (b.1615, Hamburg; d.1690, Højris (Morsø Sønder H., Thisted) ), who was son of Jochim Klingenberg and Gertrud Allers. This Povil I. von Klingenberg married Elizabeth Berns [alt. Berens], who was one of the three daughters of Albert Balthasar Berns [alt. Berens] and Elizabeth Marselis.[939]

The source provides background on the family, stating: "Ægteparret købmand Jochim Klingenberg og Gertrud Allers i Hamborg havde børnene Magdalene død 1691, begravet 23 Okt. fra St. Petri Kirke i København, g. 1662 m. kgl. Stempel-papirforvalter Albert Hein død 1672, begravet 15. aug 1672. - Elisabeth død 1669, g. m. købmand Herman Iserberg død 1659 (se D. A. Aarb. XXXIX, 474) - og Povl Klingenberg. Denne sidste, admiralitetsråd og generalpostmester, optoges 1664 i den danske adel med navnet von Klingenberg, "som han både på fædrene og mødrene side var kommen af urgammel adel". Våben: en kronet guldklokke i sort; på hjelmen en krone. Skjoldholdere: 2 naturlige løver.

Slægten uddøde med den adledes sønnesønssøn major Povl Klingenberg (død 1771)."[940]

The same source states regarding "Povl I. von Klingenberg", that "til Lund på Mors (1654-90?) Bustrup i Rødding (1654-), Dueholm (1664-), Hanerau i Holsten (1664-), Tostrup i Fuglse H., Aastrup i Lollands S. Herred (1669-86), Højris på Mors (1670-90?), Ørum i Hassing H. (1675-85) og part i Mariager Kloster (1679), og Wandsbeck (1679-), - kom 16 år gammel i handelslære hos Alb. Balth. Berns, senere hans bogholder og kompagnon, 1652 udenlands, 1653 generalpostmester i Danmark og Hertugdømmerne, 1654 admiralitetsråd 1665 envoyé extraordinaire i Nederlandene, og afsluttede en traktat med generalstaterne, deltog 1667 i forhandlingerne, der førte til fredsslutningen i Breda, adlet 4. september 1669; blev 1671 etatsråd med sæde i Statskollegiet, 1675 sendebud i Haag, 1684 virkelig etatsråd, afstod 1685 postvæsenet til Chr. Gyldenløve, kom, efter at have været en meget rig mand og en af de største jordegodsejere i Danmark, i trange kår ved sine mange indviklede ejendomskøb og uopfyldte gældsforpligtelser død 1690 hos sønnen på Højris, begravet 11. oktober fra Ljørslev."[941]

Philip Collin(?s) - living in Hamburg; merchant

Part-owner of the Saint Mary of Hamburg (Master: Peter van Dunhem) in 1653. The complete list of owners was Henry Selm, Daniel Brandts, Wilkin Wrede, Philip Collin[?s], Derrick Thooneman, Balthazar Pauland, ffrans van Bremen, Gregorie Harman, the ship's master Peter van Dunhem, and van Dunhem's brother-in-law. The ship was seized by the English under charter by other Hamburgers en route from Ligorne back to Hamburg, having sailed on its outward journey from Hamburg to Archangel in Muscovy and down to Ligorne.[942]

"Philip Col(l)in" appears as the "Kurator der Erben" of Arnold Amsinck in a Reichskammergericht case (1623-1627, 1658, 1669-1676) brought by the Hamburg merchant Arnold Amsinck against "Heinrich Ulcken und Abraham von Beseler (Beesern) als Erben des Walter Boschaert (Buschert)" and against Philip Col(l)in as Kurator of the presumably later deceased Arnold Amsinck.[943]

See a "Philips Colyn te Amsterdam", Schepenregister 517, Antwerpen, jaar 1615, p.403v[944]

Derrick Cordes - living at Hamburg; merchant[945]; consignee of silver sent from Cadiz to Hamburg in the Hamburg ship Wheele of ffortune in 1653[946]

Martin Reissmann (1975) identifies a Hinrich[947]

Diederick Cordes - living at Hamburg; merchant; XX stated in support of the claim of Hamburg born but San Lucar resident merchant John Scrother that "Diederick Cordes who is a native; a merchant of great quality and burgher of Hamborough, where hee hath held his constant residence so long as this deponent can remember; under whose borrowed name the goods in question are consigned, hath according to a publique instrument which hee this deponent is ready to produce under the seale of Hamborough publiquely declared upon solemn oath before the magistrates there that the said wynes doe not at all belong unto him the said Diederick Cordes but to the said producent"[948]

Hendrick Cordes - living at Hamburg; merchant; [ADD DATA]

Manuell Derrickson - living at Hamburg; probably of Portuguese Jewish descent; Daniel Mexia, describing himself as a London merchant, deposed in February 1656 that "hee hath corresponded with the producent Manuell Derrickson as living at Hambrowe for theise thirteene yeeres last or thereabouts, and that for about nine of the first yeares of that time this deponent living in Brazil corresponded with the said Manuell living in hamborowe, and that about foure yeares since this deponent comming from Brazil to Hamborowe and fflushing there for some space, hee sawe and there became personally acquainted with the said Manuel and sawe and well knoweth that hee was and is a burger or citizen of Hamburgh and a subiect of that free State where hee liveth and driveth a greate trade in merchandizes, and was then a married man and kept house with his wife and familie there And for a freeman and burger of Hamborough and a subiect of that free State"[951]

Plausibly, but without concrete evidence, Daniel Mexia (aged thirty-three in February 1656) was related to "John Mexia de Herrera" (aged thirty-four in May 1653)[952]

Simon da Casseres, a Madrid born Spanish merchant, who described himself being of Jewish faith, living in London, stated "hee well knoweth the producent Manuel Derrickson, and hath soe donne for these twenty yeares last past and upwards this deponent having for the most part of that space lived in Hamborough, where hee saith the said Manuel hath for all the said time dwelt, and kept house there, being there married, and was and is a merchant of good accompt, and an inhabitant and subiect of the free state of Hamborough, and for such commonly accompted, which hee knoweth being well and familiarly acquainted with him and having bin there very often in his house and had dealing with him in the way of Merchandize"[953]; Simon da Casseres added that "the said Manuel derickson as hee taketh it is a Portuguese by birth"[954]

A separate claim in 1655, referring to events in 1654 ("Clayme of Manuel and Francis Derrickson of Hamborough for their goods laden aboard the shipp the Nightingale (whereof Henry Glassing was master)") refers to Portuguese factor and correspondent of the two Derrickson merchants in the city of Lisbon named "Manuel Rodrigues Isidro". Isidro "doeth usually send goods thence to Havre de Grace, Roane and other parts in ffrance" for the two Derricksons. The claim involved the shipment of sugar on behalf of the Derricksons from Lisbon to Roane.[955]

A Reichskammergericht case brought against Paul Dierichsen in the period 1631-1634 specifcally describes him as a Portuguese Jew ("Portugieser"), who was a merchant and bürger in the town of Gluckstadt[956]

Derrick Dobbelar [alt. Dirich de Dobbeler] - living at Hamburg; merchant

Freighted goods on the Crowne Imperiall (Master Hans Meynerson) in July 1653 to go from Hamburg for Cadiz (Freighted in July 1653 by ffrancis Sloyer “to goe to Cadiz and carry barley, beanes and peece goods, which were laden by him and Peter [?Roodt], Derrick Dobbelar, Albert Ankelman, and other merchants of Hambourough”[957]

"Derricke Dobbelaer" was one of owners of the Luebeck built but Hamburg owned ship the Hope (Morens Morrenson) together with Morrens Morrenson, Michall English, Harman Barans, Daniel [?Clayas], [?Christofer] Harbergh, Gabergel English, Derrick English and Hendrick [?vande ?kreutz([958]

He was also one of the owners of another ship named the Hope of Hamburg (Master: Hendrick Martins), together with Adrian Yonker, Michell Huise, and the master Hendrick Martin[959]

He was also the lead owner of the Hamburg ship the Saint Anthony (Master: Zacharias Mielde) with Jurian Ulkin, Rodolph Berenbergh, Willem de [?Hertogh], [?Wilkin Vreda], Albert Eylars, Jan Eylars, Barent Carpfanger, John Mielde, Otto [?PeZZoy], and Zacharia Mielde (“all Hamburghers”)[960]

He was also part-owner of the Saint George of Hamburg (Master: Martin Stackowe) together with Kinder Meyer (replacing deceased Jacob ?Redling), John Eckhoff (1/8), Jurian Luders (1/8), Derrick Dobbelar (1/16), Jacob Hambrooke (1/16), Wilken Wrede (1/16), Hance ?Clides & Hendrick Stockman (3/32), Hendrick ?Smit & Harman Yonge (16), Joachim & ffrederick ?Redlinge (1/16), Martin Stackowe (3/16), Anna ?Bouckars & Gerrit Witt (1/16), and Luider Meyers (1/16) (all burghers of Hamburg) and had freight on board[961]

Martin Reismann (1975) provides a profile of the "Niederländisch" family of "de Dobbeler", which he identifies as having migrated from Brussels to Hamburg in 1585. The first migrant Dirich de Dobbeler acquired Hamburg citizenship in 1595 and died in 1614. He provides a genealogical sketch of the family, and identifes multiple merchants in successive generations with the name "Dirich de Dobbeler". The son of the first migrant, also Dirich de Dobeler was born, according to Reissmann, in 1600 and died in 1656.[962] He notes "Dirich de Dobbeler aus Malaga 235 Pipen Wein und 150 Fässlein Rosinen im Wert von 27 720 Mk"[963]; Reissmann notes hat "Lorenz de Dobbeler", a son of Dirich de Dobbeler, spent his life in Seville and married there.[964]

B.C.Roosen (1886) lists the "de Dobbeler" family of Hamburg alongside the "Berenberg" and the "Amsinck" family of Hamburg as members of the Mennoite community of Hamburg and Altona.[965]

A modern web based genealogical source claims, however, that the "De Dobbeler" family were "Hugenot", whilst agreeing they came from Brussels. This source provides the following details: (1) Josse (Joss) de Dobbeler (b.ca.1475, Gooik, Brabant), m.1517; d.?) who married Joanna Van Winterbeecke (2) Dietrich De Dobbeler (b.ca.1540, Brussels; m.(1) ?(2) ?; d.?1611, Hamburg) was their son. First marriage to Maria Le Brun, second marriage to Barbele De Kempeneer. Though lacking in rigour, the source suggests that a child of this Dietrich de Dobbeler was Susanna De Dobbler (b.1590, Hamburg, d.1665, London, who married London grocer John Bland (b.1572, d.1632)[966]

Members of the de Dobbeler family of Hamburg appear in multiple legal cases before the Reichskammergericht from the start to the end of the C17th.

"Dietrich de Dobbeler (der Ältere)", merchant and citizen of Hamburg, is the defendant in a case brought by Jacques Budier, an Altona merchant, with the City of Hamburg as co-defendant. The case concerned the arrest of a cargo of wine and raisins and a claim for compensation by Budier from the defendant. The case ran from 1654 to 1688. Documentation includes accounts betwwen the litigants and extracts from the multiple legal cases conducted in Hamburg and Holstein, with a Memorial summarising the cases dated 1656.[967]

A printed genealogical study of the de Dobbeler family of Germany is available (Unknown author, 1988).[968]

The suit was brought against Joachim Lemmermann, Ratsherr of Hamburg and concerned the claims of Heinrich against the heirs of Lorenz de Dobbeler, Heinrich's responsibility for the debts of his brother. The documentation includes an inventory of Lorenz' estate. The case went to the Niedergericht in 1681, the Obergericht in 1682-1683 and the Reichskammergericht in 1683-1685[969]

Segar Splinter, master of the Hamburg ship the Saint Mary, stated that "Lewis du Bois" and "Abraham Vande Luffell", were citizens and inhabitants of Hamburg, and that he had known them to be such for seven years. They were owners of the Saint Mary, which they laded for their joint account with diverse stuffs, horses and pipestaves, bound from Hamburg to Lisbon, to be delivered to their Lisbon agents or correspondents Peter Hassche and Martin [?Beverbergh][1,058] Splinter states that Lewis du Bois is a married man and dwells "in the Nantraen street", whereas Vande Luffell is a bacherlor and swells "in the groote Barker street", both in Hamburg.[1,059]

Notarial deed dated 1660 in Leiden, registering Abraham van Luffel, residing in Hamburg[1,060]

Henriette De Bruyn Kops (2007) provides extensive information about three generations of the Van de Luffel family and its involvement in the French wine trade. She states that "Originally from Antwerp, one branch of the family settled in Middleburg, the capital of Zeeland and in the sixteenth century the centre of the French wine trade to the northern Netherlands. From Middleburg they looked north."[1,061]

Henriette De Bruyn Kups describes the move of Jan van Luffel the Younger by 1630 from Middleburg (the traditional centre of the riverine trade in Rhine wines) to represent the family firm in Rotterdam. His marriage to Anna Neve of Middleburg provided access to the network around the highly influential merchant Balthasar de Moucheron. Other members of the de Luffel merchant family were in Nantes (Gilles), Middleburg (Francois)[1,062] and Johan van de Luffel in Rotterdam. The Van de Luffel brothers worked with their brother-in-law Joris de Neve in Amsterdam.[1,063]

More broadly, Henriette De Bruyn Kups suggests that the Van de Luffell family was part of an extensive European network of merchants including the Temmingh, Valck and Van Immersael families, and linked to the de Letter family of Antwerp. Within the network Valck provided access to the Spanish market through his Antwerp location, linked to the Dutch merchant houses of Van Diest in Rotterdam and the Van Luffels in Middleburg, with their respective factors in Hamburg, with the Temmingh family present in Nantes and Hamburg [alt. Temminche; Temmincq], and linked to the van Immersael family of Rotterdam. The network was also linked through the van Immersael of Rotterdam family, one of whom who had married "Jacques de Letter, one of the three sons of the Mintmaster General of the Spanish Netherlands in Antwerp, thus providing the Temmingh - Valck - Van Immerseel - Van Luffel network with a vital link to the European money trade", Henriette de Bruyn Kups cites Stols (XXX), who noted that"the three brothers gained social prominence in Antwerp despite their reputation of smugglers" of colonial goods to Holland. Jacques became second treasurer to the city of Antwerp and brother Thomas de Letter, like his father, became Mintmaster General. Henriette de Bruyn Kops suggests that the "De Letter" family were well positioned "to launder the silver obtained in the illegal trade with Iberia and the rest of the Spanish empire."[1,064]

Henriette De Bruyn Kops describes an extensive "embargo-evading system", whereby "Dutch and Sephardic trading houses also set up shop in Hamburg". She refers to Hermann Kellenbenz' work which "clearly links the evasion of Spanish embargoes and the use of the neutral ports of southern-most France to the cooperation between the 'Portuguese' community of Hamburg and their colleagues at Saint Jean-de-Luz. The "Sephardim" had their own smuggling routes across the Pyrenees and "the Portuguese in Bayonne, Nantes and other French ports played similar mediation roles." "In Kellenbenz' opinion, thirty-two of the 42 Hamburg firms with an annual turnover in the year 1619 of at least 100,000 Mark were Dutch. Twenty-one of those Dutch firms were recorded as trading with Spain, while two more owned ships that sailed on Iberia."[1,065]. De Bruyn Kops suggests that a number of these "Dutch" firms in Hamburg had Sephardic routes. She cites Tanguy (XXX), suggesting that "of the twelve Hamburg-based merchant who traded with Nantes around 1631, Jean Tanguy identified nine certain Sephardim and three men who - based on their names - could be either Dutch or German"[1,066]

See MarineLives wiki entry for "John Temmincke [alt. Temminck; Temmingh; Temincq]", a Hamburg merchant, who claimed in May 1653 for goods in the ship the Saint John Baptist (master: Jacob Van Brooke of Hamburg). Jacob Van Brooke states he has known Temmincke for twenty years and that "hath bene and at present is a merchant of good esteeme and quality in Hamborough from whence within these twelve monethes last past of this deponents knowledge hee hath used to trade french commodityes and to that purpose hath his factors or correspondents there resident". He added that he "hath allsoe knowne both this yeare and severall other yeares past severall other ships from tyme to tyme imployed by the said Temmincke from Hamborow into ffrance, which have carryed goods thither and from thence brought the proceede thereof to Hamborough from his the said Temmincks correspondents at Bayon and other places in ffrance. Jacob Van Brooke mentioned specifically that Temmincke had correspondents at Bayon and other places in France".[1,067] John Temmnincke's long term Bayon factor was Nicolas Van Elen, whom Jacob Van Brooke believed to be Flandrian born and only a merchant stranger in Bayon.[1,068] The Bayon link, near the French border with Spain, is interesting in the context of Henriette De Bruyn Kups (2007) discussion of a Temmincke link to smuggling from the United Provinces into Spain via the French Atlantic coastal ports, as detailed above.

Henriette de Bruyn Kops mentions "Abraham van de Luffel", located in Hamburg, taking delivery of goods from a Pedro alias Peter Valck [Falcon] of Antwerp in 1643. Valck, she suggests had "Sephardic origins", despite a Dutch alias.[1,069]

Godfrey Scholt [alt. poss.?Schulte] - living at Hamburg; merchant

"Godfrey and Joachim Scholt" are mentioned by John Hey, master of the Goulden Mill of Hamburg, in a list of Hamburgers who were freighters for their own account from Hamburg on the Goulden Mill on a voyage to Malaga: "Harman [?Rentzell] Mr Peter van Sprechel Adrian Yonker William de Labiestradt Everard Anquerman, Godfrey and Joachim Scholt and Jerome Snitcher all Burghers and inhabitants of Hamburgh ever since this deponent can remember, and Mr Augustine [?Brun] George Kirkhoof Hans van [Jerusalem] and George Moller for three yeares or thereabouts dwelling also at Hamburgh"[1,134]

Friedrich Georg Buek (1857) identifies Claus Schulte (b.?, d.1650)[1,135]

Joachim Scholt - living at Hamburg; merchant

"Godfrey and Joachim Scholt" are mentioned by John Hey, master of the Goulden Mill of Hamburg, in a list of Hamburgers who were freighters for their own account from Hamburg on the Goulden Mill on a voyage to Malaga: "Harman [?Rentzell] Mr Peter van Sprechel Adrian Yonker William de Labiestradt Everard Anquerman, Godfrey and Joachim Scholt and Jerome Snitcher all Burghers and inhabitants of Hamburgh ever since this deponent can remember, and Mr Augustine [?Brun] George Kirkhoof Hans van [Jerusalem] and George Moller for three yeares or thereabouts dwelling also at Hamburgh"[1,136]

Hans de Schott - living at Hamburg and later at Stade; died 1620; married (1) Catharina Anselmo (2) Adriane Pels; sons were Anthony [alt. Anton] de Schott and Leonard de Schott. Daughters were Catharine de Schott and Johanna de Schott. Catharina married Lenard Raye; Johanna married David Motte der jüngere; Leonard married Cäcilie, daughter of Ulrich Lupolt[1,137]; Anthony or Anton married Anna Engelbrecht[1,138]

There is a large collection of De Schott family letters in the 'Erfoed Leiden en omstreken' in the Netherlands located within the "archief van Daniël van der Meulen en hester de la Faille, 1550-1648". The letters fall into three groups. (1) [Item 621] Brieven van Hans Schott uit Hamburg, Amsterdam, Staden enz., 1593-1596. 1593-1596 33 stukken (thans 55) [N.B. Betreft brieven van Hans de Schot (nrs. 1-9); Jacques Schot sr. (nrs. 10-26); de weduwe Jacques Schot sr. (nrs. 27-54)[1,139] (2) [Item 622] Brieven van Jean (of Hans) Schot en van Jacques Schott jr. c.s. uit Haarlem, Staden, Middelburg, Delft, 1589-1600. 1589-1600 260 stukken in 3 omslagen N.B. Inzage omslagen 622.1 en 622.3 alleen na beoordeling studiezaalambtenaar i.v.m. schade. Beschadigde stukken worden achtergehouden[1,140] (3) [Item 623] Brieven van Wouter de Schot te Amsterdam, 1592, 1597. 1592-1597 2 stukken [1,141]

Interestingly, the link between the Van der Meulen family and the de Schott family is evident in a different Netherlands archive - that of "Utrecht archief: 57 Familie Van der Muelen". Within this archive there are "[Item 2.1.4.1 Persoonlijk 56.] Brieven gericht aan Andries van der Muelen afkomstig van diverse personen, 1603-1652", and two letters from " Calandrini, Jeremie, te Amsterdam, 1645" and one letter from " Schott, Daniel, te Middelburg, 1612"[1,142]

Anthony De Schott [alt. Anton de Schott] and Leonard de Schott - living at ?Hamburg, or at ?Stade; merchants in business together; sons of merchant Hans de Schott; large Iberian business, which failed in 1627 and became bankrupt. It is possible that these De Schott brothers were related to Juan Escon [alt Escout], who, we speculate, may have acted for the De Schott brothers in Cadiz. Certainly we know that Juan Escon was already prominent in Cadiz in 1624, serving as consul to the English.

Kellenbenz (1954) states that Johanna de Schoott, the wife of David Motte, was the sister of Anthony de Schott and Leonard de Schott, who were sons of Hans de Schott. Kellenbenz states that the family "De Schott" came from Antwerpen, linking Hans de Schott in an undefined way to "Johan Schot, Bruder des Franz Schot, Wolltuchhändlers in Antwerpen"[1,143] and implies that Hans de Schott came from Antwerpen to Hamburg. "Als Hans de Schot nach Hamburg kam, muß er schon mit Catharina Anselmo verheiratet gewesen sein. 1596 wird sein Name zum erstenmal erwähnt." Kellenbenz cites evidence of de Schot's involvement in Iberian trade, including his links "mit dem Kreis Anselmo". According to Kellenbenz Hans de Schott moved later to Stade, and remarried there in 1620 to Adriane Pels, shortly before his death. Kellenbenz notes the strong Iberian business of the brothers Anthony and Leonard de Schott in the early 1620s, citing data from the Hamburg bank. However, their firm failed "als kurz vor 1630 das Unternehmen von Anthony und Leonard de Schot zusammengebrochen war und sich ein kaiserliches Moratorium bemühten. erklärten sie, daß sie vor dem Konkurs viele Jahren nach Spanien und Portugal "große Nehotien" gehabt und dem spanischen König mit vielen Schiffen "große Zufuhr von allerhand ammunition getan" hätten. Kellenbenz concludes that the De Schott brothers were supplying arms to Spain in support of its war with the United Provinces, which had broken out again in 1621. However, piracy had caused great losses ao that they "endlich von der Borsa sich absentieren und mit ihren Creditoren in einen Accord eintreten müssen". Prior to bankruptcy, the de Schott brothers had had to supend payments in 1627. A number of other Hamburg firms engaged in Iberian trade appear to have failed at the same time. Kellenbenz had access to the "Konkursakten", and states, from inspection of these documents, that "de Schot nicht nur die südlichen Niederlande, sondern auch England mit iberischen Importwaren belieferten." Kellenbenz cites as his source Reichskammergericht documents, which presumably contain the Konkursakten[1,144]

A Reichskammergericht case (1620-1637, 1644-1657) was brought by the "Erben des Walter de Hertoghe und des Abraham Boots, curatores bonorum der Brüder Anton und Leonhard de Schott in Hamburg". The defendants were "Ulrich, Carl, Cäcilie und Elisabeth Lippoldt (Lupolt) in Hamburg", "David Motte (der Jüngere), für sich und seine Mutter Johanna de Schott", and the merchant Jacques Budier, "sämtlich als Erben beziehungsweise Rechtsnachfolger des Ulrich Lippoldt (der Ältere) und anderer Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott in Hamburg und Amsterdam." The case included a dispute about the prioroity of the demands of the defendants "aus einer Vormundschaftsverwaltung, um die Anfechtung eines Vergleichs unter den Gläubigern der 1627 fallierten Brüder de Schott und um die Haftung des Walter de Hertoghe, des Abraham Boots und des Antonio Saraiva Coronel als curatores bonorum der Falliten de Schott wegen einer angeblichen Schadlosversprechung für die Gläubiger bei Übernahme der Fallitmasse." The accompanying documentation includes "Testamente von 1620 und 1622 des Johann de Schott in Stade; Testament von 1625 des Ulrich Lippoldt, Kaufmann in Hamburg; Vergleich über die Befriedigung der Forderungen der Gläubiger sowie die vorausgehenden Verhandlungen 1627-1628; Vertrag von 1628 der Hamburger Kaufleute Bartholomäus und Wilhelm Engelbrecht mit Leonhard de Schott über die Befriedigung von Gläubiger-Forderungen; Kaiserliches Moratorium von 1629 für die Bezahlung der Schulden der Brüder de Schott; Schuldverschreibungen, Quittungen, Geschäftsbriefe, Bilanzen, Schuldaufstellungen und Vollmachten zur Erwirkung eines Arrests aus der Zeit 1627-1630; Verpflichtung von 1629 der curatores bonorum der Falliten de Schott, die Gläubiger bei Verpfändung ihres Hab und Guts zufriedenzustellen sowie zahlreiche ähnliche Verpflichtungserklärungen anderer curatores bonorum aus der Zeit 1620-1628"[1,145]

Related to the above Reichskammergericht case was a case (1628, 1643-1651) brought in the Obergericht and the Reichskammergericht by "Jacques Budier, Kaufmann in Hamburg, als Bevollmächtigter der Erben des Ulrich Lupoldt (Lippoldt) (der Ältere), Kaufmann in Hamburg sowie Franz van Wiele als Vormund der Kinder des Abraham Boots, curator bonorum der Brüder de Schott, und Heinrich Scheffer, Johann Beckhoff (der Jüngere), Cornelius und Hans de Hertoghe als Vormünder der Kinder, beziehungsweise als Erben des Walter de Hertoghe, curator bonorum der Brüder de Schott (Beklagter) sowie als Nebenbekläger David Motte (der Jüngere), für sich und namens seiner Mutter Johanna de Schott in Hamburg" against "Antonio Saraiva Coronel, jüdischer Kaufmann in Hamburg". The case concerned "Zulassung eines Juden zur Eidesleistung oder Beweisführung der Kläger durch Zeugenaussagen und Schriftstücke in einem Streit um die Haftung des Beklagten als angeblichen curator bonorum der Brüder de Schott zusammen mit den anderen curatores bonorum für die Forderungen der Gläubiger wegen eines Schadlossprechens bei Übernahme der Fallitmasse." The associated documentation includes "Bankzettel (Zahlungsanweisungen) von 1628".[1,146]

Closely related to the above case was a case (1643-1651) brought in the Obergericht and then the Reichskammergericht by the "Erben des Ulrich Lupoldt (Kläger) sowie des Abraham Boots und des Walter de Hertoghe, curatores bonorum der Brüder de Schott (Beklagte) und als Nebenkläger David Motte (der Jüngere), für sich und namens seiner Mutter Johann de Schott in Hamburg" against "Antonio Saraiva Coronel, jüdischer Kaufmann in Hamburg". This was a continuation of the dispute "um Forderungen gegen die curatores bonorum der Brüder de Schott."[1,147].

A final closely related case (1625-1629, 1650-1662) brought in the Reichskammergericht identifies Christian Moll as the "Buchhalter der Brüder den Schott". The documentation includes "Rechungen und Auszüge aus den Geschäftsbüchern der beteiligten Kaufleute 1625-1629 sowie eine Aussage des Christopher Moll, Buchhalter der Brüder den Schott, später Makler, über Bilanzfälschungen der Brüder de Schott; Testament der Jacoba Budier von 1650 sowie ein Notariats-Instrument von 1659 über die Testamentseröffnung; "citatio ad videndum exigi" 1658." This case was brought by "Jacques Budier in Speyer, für sich und seine Tochter Jacoba Budier, als Erben des Ulrich Lupoldt (der Ältere), Kaufmann in Hamburg". The defendants, who were "Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott", include a number of merchants associated with the Silver Ship litigation and with Hamburg-Iberian trade more generally. They were "Cornelius Jans(s)en, Werner Tomloo sel. Erben, Heinrich von den Krenze, für sich und als Kurator der Witwe des Heinrich Hering(s), Lovis du Bois, Abraham Stockmann, Johann de Buyser, Joachim von Spreckelsen, Liebert Wolter(s) (Wouter), Johann von Pieren, Matthias von Aspern, Hinrich tho Westen, Jacob Rouloff als Kurator der Anna Feust, Witwe des Anton Feust und Tochter des Nicolas von der Willigen, Joris (Dietrichs Sohn) Schötteringk, Dietrich Cordes und die Witwe des Juden Diego Carles, sämtlich als Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott." In addition "als Nebenbeklagte Wilhelm Engelbrecht und Dirich Suerman als Kurator der Anna Engelbrecht, Witwe des Anton de Schott, als Erben und Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott, in Hamburg."[1,148]

The above four cases are cited by Kellenbenz (1954) in his discussion of the De Schott family of Hamburg.

A further case (ca.1625-1628, 1636, 1636-1638) brought in the Obergericht and then the Reichskammergericht is of importance, but not cited by Kellenbenz (1954). This case was brought by "Hans de Hertoghe, Matthias Röver und Franz van Wiele, Kaufleute in Hamburg, als Vormünder der Kinder und Erben des Walter de Hertoghe und des Abraham Boots, curatores bonorum der Brüder Anton und Leonhard de Schott in Hamburg". The defendnats were "Ferdinand Feust (Vuyst), Kaufmann in Hamburg (Kläger) und als Nebenbeklagter der Rat der Stadt Hamburg". Legal issues included "Verweisung der Kläger auf Regressforderungen gegen die Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott in einem Streit um die Bezahlung eines Schiffs-Parts durch die Kläger an den Beklagten". Documentation includes "Rechnungen und Auszüge aus den Büchern des Beklagten und der Brüder de Schott aus der Zeit um 1625; Bestätigung von 1628 der curatores bonorum der Brüder de Schott über den Verkauf von Schiffs-Parten."[1,149]

Another case (1625-1683) brought in the Obergericht and Reichskammergericht, also not cited by Kellenbenz (1954), is principally concerned with the family of the merchant William Engelbrecht for himself and as an heir of the Hamburg merchant Anton Engelbrecht, brought against Jacques Budier in the name of his wife, the widow of Bartholomäus Engelbrecht. Bartholomäus Engelbrecht was a son of Anton Engelbrecht, und Elisabeth Lupoldt, Tochter des Ulrich Lupoldt. However, the documentation includes "Vertrag von 1628 zwischen Wilhelm und Bartholomäus Engelbrecht und den Falliten Leonhard (de) Schott, verheiratet mit Cäcilie Engelbrecht, und Anton de Schott über die Bezahlung von Schulden sowie eine Zeugenaussage des ehemaligen Buchhalters der Gebrüder de Schott über falsche Eintragungen der Firmeninhaber ins Hauptbuch." The documentation also includes " Inventar des Nachlasses des 1625 verstorbenen Ulrich Lupoldt; Ehezärter von 1626 zwischen Bartholomäus Engelbrecht, Sohn des Anton Engelbrecht, und Elisabeth Lupoldt, Tochter des Ulrich Lupoldt (in niederländischer und deutscher Sprache)" and "Ehezärter von 1634 zwischen Elisabeth Engelbrecht, Witwe des Bartholomäus Engelbrecht, und Jacques Budier (später verheiratet mit Maria, Witwe des Heinrich Hering)"[1,150]

François de Schott - apprentice in Stade; merchant; came to Stade from Antwerpen and departed from Stade to go to Middelburg in the United Provinces

Jorun Poettering (2013) states that "François de Schott kam aus Antwerpen und lebte als Lehrling in Stade, bevor er nach Middelburg zog." She adds that "Der Niederländer Antoni Engelbrecht wohnte in Embden und Lübeck, bevor er nach Hamburg kam." amd that "Der Portugiese Duarte Nunes da Costa verließ seine Heimat um 1609, lebte knapp zwei Jahre in Madrid, dann einige Zeit in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Wahrescheinlich ging er von dort aus nach Florenz. 1621 traf er in Amsterdam ein. 1626 zog er nach Glückstadt, um sich schließlich 1627 in Hamburg niederzulassen. Poettering's general point is that "Wie viele andere Orte bildete Hamburg fũr die fremden Kaufleute in Hamburg für die Kaufleute of nur eine Etappe auf einem längeren Migrationsweg. Sie wechselten den Ort ihrer Niederlassung in Abhängigkeit von den wirtschaftlichen, politischen und kriegerischen Gegebenheiten, von Geschäfts- und Heiratsstrategien und aus persönlichen Gründen."[1,151]

Heyn Scoebach - living at Hamburg; Hamburg merchant Jacob Wigandi stated in support of the claim of the Lemmermann family for goods in the Black Cock that "part of the goods sent from Hamborough as is predeposed, were sent by Heyn [?Scoebach] and Henry Scrother and other Hamborough shippers"[1,152]

Jurian Scothering [alt. Scrothering; Schrötteringk] - living at Hamburg; merchant; Hamburg merchant Jacob Wigandi stated in support of the claim of the Lemmermann family for goods in the Black Cock that "there is insurance made of 600: li flemmish by Peter [?Vinck] of 600: li fflemish by frans Sloyer, of 600: li flemmish by Jurian Scothering, and of 800: li flemmish by Lodowick [?fraulus] all merchants and subiects of Hamburgh"[1,153]

Friedrich Georg Buek (1857) identifies Jürgen Schrötteringk (b.1551 zu Wellingholzhausen, near Osnabrück; m. (1) 15?XX (2) 1595; d.1631). Buek repeats a contemporary claim that Jürgen Schrötteringk arrived in Hamburg as a poor orphan and died a rich man. Elected Oberalte in 1626. 15 children, including Johann Schrötteringk, who became Hamburg Bürgermeister, Diedrich SchrötteringkSchrötteringk, who was elected an Oberalte, and the Protonotar Hinrich.[1,154]

Hines Scoubeck - ?living at Hamburg; master of the Saint Jacob of ?Hamburg; mentioned in December 1653 by Claus Colbrandt, master of the Patriarke Jacob of Hamburg, as having been (he believed) seized by the French en route earlier in 1653 from Hamburg to Cadiz [1,155]

Henry Scrother - living at Hamburg; described by Hamburg merchant Jacob Wigandi in November 1653 as a Hamburg "shipper"[1,156]; speculatively Henry Scrother is related to John Scrother, the Hamburg born factor of Hamburg merchant Hance Lemmermann (deceased), in support of whose claim in the English Admiralty Court Jacob Wigandi deposes, mentioning both John Scrother and Henry Scrother

Henry Selm [alt. Heinrich Selm; Sillm] - living in Hamburg; merchant

Part-owner of the Saint Mary of Hamburg (Master: Peter van Dunhem) in 1653. The complete list of owners was Henry Selm, Daniel Brandts, Wilkin Wrede, Philip Collin[?s], Derrick Thooneman, Balthazar Pauland, ffrans van Bremen, Gregorie Harman, the ship's master Peter van Dunhem, and van Dunhem's brother-in-law. The ship was seized by the English under charter by other Hamburgers en route from Ligorne back to Hamburg, having sailed on its outward journey from Hamburg to Archangel in Muscovy and down to Ligorne.[1,157]

Martin Reismmann (1975) identifes the "Sillim (Selm" family and lists family members Cord, Garlieb, Heine, Hinrich (Heinrich), Juana, Klaus (Nikolaus).[1,158] Reissman provides high business turnover figures for the merchant Nicolaus Sillem (etwa 200 000 Mk)[1,159]

Daniel Sloyer [the elder] - living in Hamburg; deceased; merchant; one of the original part-owners of the Saint George of Hamburg, with a one eighth share; deceased[1,163]

Daniel Sloyer the elder appears to have died in Hamburg in early 1652, based on the testimony of Peter Scholenburg, the steersman of the ship the Angel Michael. Scholenburg deposed in March 1652 in support of the "clayme of the widdowe and heyres of Danyel Sloyer} deceased for the silver laden for their accompt aboard the shipp the Angell Michael". He stated that "hee well knew the arlate Danyel Sloyer whilest he lived whoe departed this life att Hamborow about twelve moneth since". He went on to say that he "knoweth likewise his wydowe the producent in this cause beinge the respondents neere neighbour in Hamborowe where shee liveth with her children and family"[1,164]; Scholenburg also stated that at the time of Daniel Sloyer's death he "did dwell att the time predeposed in the [?Ruynsmarkett] in Hamborowe"[1,165]

Scholenburg noted that "the said Danyell Sloyer whilest hee lived and untill his death was a merchant of good worth and accompt in Hamborowe and for many yeares before and untill the tyme of his death which was about a yeares since hee was and hath beene commonly knowne and noted to have driven a great trade and to have dealt much into Spayne for Silver and other wares and merchandizes which hee knoweth for that hee this deponent hath seene the said Danyell Sloyer and hath carryed letters and donne businesse for him there And sayeth the said trade was and still is contynudd by the Wydowe Scloyer arlate for and on the behalfe of her selfe and the heyres of her said husband deceassed"[1,166]

Hermann Kellenbenz identifies the Schloier or Sloyer family in the Holland and Spanish trade ("Die Schloier oder Schloyer betätigen sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts als Reeder in der Holland-..."[1,167]; Kellenbenz identifies two Schloier family members active in 1605, of whom Daniel appeared the stronger ("Von den beiden Schloier, die 1905 als "Junioren" bezeichnet wurden und die damals schon für sich Geschäfte machten, war offenbar Daniel der tatkräftigere, erfolgreiche.."[1,168]

Martin Holst, master of the Lubeck built but Hamburg owned ship the Neptune, listed the Neptune's owners as including "Adrian Juncker" (possibly the brother of John Baptist Jouncker), "Gryst Boremaster, Grete Burmaster", together with "ffrancis Sloyer, Lewis du Boyes" and others.[1,172]

A "Harman Reyndorp" was joint owner with ffrancis Sloyer of one sixteenth part of the ship the Saint Paul of Hamburg, which was seized by the English returning from Cadiz to Hamburg in 1653; Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer, both merchants of Hamburg, freighted the ship to go in ballast from Lubeck, where she had been built, to Dronten in Norway to take in a lading of 6000 deals on behalf of Harman Rayndorp and ffrancis Sloyer "and carried and delivered them at Cadiz to Daniel Sloyer brother of the said ffrancis for accompt of the said Hance Reynsdorp and ffrancis Sloyer[1,173]

"ffrancis Sloyer merchant of Hamborough" was the consignee in the ship the Wheele of ffortune of "one barr No. 75 alloy 2326 weighing ninetie three markes and one ounce marked F."[1,174]

ffrancis Sloyer freighted the ship the Crowne Imperial (Master: Hans Meynerson) in July 1653 at Hamburg for Cadiz "to goe to Cadiz and carry barley, beanes and peece goods, which were laden by him and Peter [?Roodt], Derrick Dobbelar, Albert Ankelman, and other merchants of Hambourough”. At Cadiz delivered to “Daniel Sloyer, Vincent Van Campen, John Scrother and others, factors and merchants there residing"[1,175]

The Staatsarchiv Hamburg has a record of a dispute about insurers paying out on an insurance policy on a shipment of silver. The insurance policy was taken out by the deceased Cadiz based Hamburg merchant Vincent von Kampen. The sum in dispute was 10,000 Reichstaler. The dispute was between on the one side Johann Baptista Juncker (a known part owner of one of the Silver Ships, the Saint George, Abraham Stockmann (a Hamburg merchant, who had also written insurance on another silver ship, the Saint John Evangelist), the heirs of the merchants Peter Finx and Duarte Esteves de Pina, and on the other side the Hamburg merchant Geronimo Snitquer, in whose name the insurance policy was made, though paid for by Vincent von Kampen.[1,181] Jonathan Israel identifies Duarte Esteves de Pina as a Hamburg based Sephardic Jew, citing an archival source from 1651 in the Staatsarchiv Hamburg, Admiralitätskollegium.[1,182]

John Hey, master of the Hamburg ship the Goulden Mill (with a crew of 14 men and boys) stated that his ship was "fraighted upon Charter partie by Jerome Snitcher and Daniel Brandts Merchants and Burghers of Hamborough" for a voyage from Hamburg to Mallega and back in 1653, carrying goods for the two merchants, together with other Hamburg merchants.[1,183] The owners of the ship were: "John Scrothering Peter van Sprechels Peter Guldenhair, Arent van Haesdonck and the widdow of John Hartmann[?sson] late Master of the said shipp all Hamburghers and Natives of that place"[1,184]; "Daniel Brandes and Jeronimo Snitger marchants of Hamborough" were consignees of "one barr of silver weighing one hundred fourtie one marjes two ounces" in the ship the Wheele of ffortune[1,185]; 'Bauhoffs=Bürger': 1649: Jeronymus Schnitger"[1,186]

In a separate deposition John Hey, master of the Goulden Mill of Hamburg, listed "Jerome Snitcher" in a list of Hamburgers who were freighters for their own account from Hamburg on the Goulden Mill on a voyage to Malaga: "Harman [?Rentzell] Mr Peter van Sprechel Adrian Yonker William de Labiestradt Everard Anquerman, Godfrey and Joachim Scholt and Jerome Snitcher all Burghers and inhabitants of Hamburgh ever since this deponent can remember, and Mr Augustine [?Brun] George Kirkhoof Hans van [Jerusalem] and George Moller for three yeares or thereabouts dwelling also at Hamburgh"[1,187]

Roland Baetens makes reference to a firm or partnership of "Brandes-Snutquer, die als inkoopcommissionair optrad."[1,188] Baetens also lists the firm "D.Brandes en J.Snutquer" against Danzig.[1,189] See Schwitger (alt.Snitquer, Snutquer family)

"Borsteher des Pocken=hauses...81 Hieronimus Schnitker den 11. Mai Anno 1658. In Stelle Herr Niclas [?S]ilm, so zu Rathe er[?f]ohren, erwehlet Anno 72."[1,190]

The eponymous son of the merchant Jeronimus Schnitker was born in 1648, and met an untimely end, executed by the City of Hamburg.[1,191]

Peter van Sprechel [alt. poss.?von Spreckelsen; von Sprekelsen] - dwelling at Hamburg; merchant; mentioned by John Hey, master of the Goulden Mill of Hamburg, in a list of Hamburgers who were freighters for their own account from Hamburg on the Goulden Mill on a voyage to Malaga: "Harman [?Rentzell] Mr Peter van Sprechel Adrian Yonker William de Labiestradt Everard Anquerman, Godfrey and Joachim Scholt and Jerome Snitcher all Burghers and inhabitants of Hamburgh ever since this deponent can remember, and Mr Augustine [?Brun] George Kirkhoof Hans van [Jerusalem] and George Moller for three yeares or thereabouts dwelling also at Hamburgh"[1,192]

Wikipedia DE identifies Peter von Spreckelsen (b.1613, Hamburg; m.1640; d,1665, Hamburg) as a Hamburger Oberalter. He was son of the eponymous Peter von Spreckelsen (d.1630). He married Margaretha Schrötteringk, daughter of the Haqmburg Bürgermeister Johann Schrötteringk (b.1588; d.1676). Through his marriage to Margaretha he had three sons - Johann, Peter and Lucas. Amongst various appointive and elective offices he became a member in 1649 of the Hamburger Admiralitätskollegium and in 1650 a bürgerlicher Richter in the Hamburger Niedergericht. He was elected Oberalter in the Kirchspiel Sankt Petri in 1653.[1,193]

Peter von Spreckelsen, described as a Hamburg Oberalter, was the principal defendant in a suit brought in the Reichskammergericht by the Hamburg merchant and burger, Georg Bexeler (Becceler). The case ran from 1655 to 1660 with Georg Moller (Ratsherr) and the Hamburg Rat as co-defendants. The case concerned a guarantee made by the plaintiff for the widow and heirs of David Vermeulen, who were to pay a certain sum related to the modification of the Gerichtsbuch by the Gerichtsverwalter, the Ratsherr Georg Moller[1,194]

Abraham Stockman - living in Hamburg; merchant

A web based genealogical source states Abraham Stockman was born 1596, Hamburg; married twice; died April 24th 1669, Altona; father Samuel Stockman (b. Antwerp) and mother Louis Noe (b. Antwerp); married (1) Dina Jacons, by whom he had five children; married (2) Amarens Siks, by whom he had one child[1,195]

B.C. Roosen (1886) states the Stockman family was "a Mennonite family formerly in the congregation of Hamburg-Altona Germany" and that Abraham Stockman, like his father, was for a number of years a deacon of the Hamburg Mennonite church[1,196]

Anthony Lewis, Edward Peter's cashier and bookkeeper, deposed in October 1653 in support of Antwerp merchant Edward Peter's claim for silver, saying that "there is an Insurance of 2000 pounds flemmish made upon the said silver by Marcus Tinck Goddert van Haveren Abraham Stockman all Hamburghers". Lewis does not explicitly say that the insurance was on all three Silver ships (the Saint George, theSalvador, and the Sampson), but Peters had silver on all three ships, so it can be assumed that the inurance covered silver on all three ships[1,197]

Insurer with John Baptista Juncker, Peter Finx, and Duarte Esteves de Pina of one of the Silver ships [ADD REFERENCE]

Insurer of the Saint John Evangelist [ADD REFERENCE]

Freighter and possibly the owner of the ship the Dove, which was seized in spring 1656 en route from Hamburg to London, carrying a cargo of wheat from "Abraham Stockman and company" to Mr Lucas Jacobs[1,198]

An "Albert Stockman" was a part-owner of one sixteenth part of the ship the Saint Paul of Hamburg (Master: Hendrick Luck), which was seized by the English returning from Cadiz to Hamburg in 1653 with a mixed cargo. The full list of owners was "Francis van Bremen and Peter van Bremen his brother who together are owners of halfe of the said shipp, Arnoult van Hasedonck and Hendrick van Hasedonck his brother, who together have an eighth part in the said shipp; Gerrit Boremaster, Albert Stockman, and Michael van Lubkin each and every one a sixteenth part; Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer aforesaid together a sixteenth part namely each a 32th part, Mathias Hennrick a 32th part, Joachim Martins a 32th part, and this deponent [EDITOR: the master Hendrick Luck] a sixteenth part"[1,199]

Claus Takes - ?living in Hamburg; master of the hoy the Saint Peter of Hamburg

Wilken Wrede was sole owner of the Saint Peter of Hamburg (Master: Claus Takes), which Wrede puchased from the Hollander John Cornelison Dorp. Described as a hoy, Wrede used the ship to fetch corn from the East Country for Lübeck, and also for France.[1,202]

Peter Tam - living in Hamburg; mariner; master of the ship the Goulden Sunn of Hamburg in 1653[1,203]; Gaspar Tam stated that "Peter Tam hath lived in the [?Skeers] brooke in Hamborough with his family for ten yeares last and upwards" and for the same time Gaspar Tam's "settled abode", being a batchelor "hath bin in his ffathers house in the same street or place in Hamborough"[1,204]; Henry Greeve stated that "Peter Tam for all the time of this deponents knowledge of him as aforesaid hath kept his house and family upon the Skipp [?BXXXX] bridge at Hamburgh"[1,205]; Michael van Lubkin, master of the Morning Starre and Hamburg resident, stated in November 1653 "Peter Tam was and is by common report a Hamburger borne, and hath lived at Hamburgh for about 20. yeares of this deponents knowledge"[1,206]; Peter Tam had money in the Salvador and made a claim for this[1,207]; Henry Greeve stated in October 1653 that "for about 11 yeares last past this deponent hath well knowne the arlate Peter Tamm a citizen and inhabitant of and in Hamborough and a subject of that free state, and saith that the said producent is commonly and generally accompted a native of that citie, Which hee deposeth having lived and belonged to Hamborough for about 12. yeares last past".[1,208]

Gaspar Tam (as reported by Michael Van Lubkin, master of the Morning Starr) was the cousin of and purser to Peter Tam. According to Van Lubkin Gaspar [alt. Jaspar] Tam sold part of a cargo of goods at Cadiz which his uncle had brought from Genoa. This cargo consisted of "paper and bedsteads and other comodities and that with the proceed thereof hee had procured foure hundred fiftie six peeces of eight which hee said hee had laden on board and sent away in the shipp the Salvador (Christian Cloppenburgh Master)."[1,209]

Daniel Brandes appears in the Staatsarchiv Hamburg in an entry dated 1631, recording a loan made by David Brandes as a shipowner to Peter Tamm. ["15.02.1631: 1400 Reichstaler, Daniel Brandes als Schiffsreeder des Peter Tamm, rückzahlbar nach 1 Jahr nebst 84 Reichstalern"[1,210]

Baetens (1976) mentiones Peter Tams many times.[1,211]

John Temmincke [alt. Temminck; Temmingh; Temincq; Temminche; Jan Temminck] - living in Hamburg; merchant; claimant in May 1653 for goods in the ship the Saint John Baptist (master: Jacob Van Brooke of Hamburg); Jacob Van Brooke, master of the Saint John Baptist, stated in May 1653 that he had known John Temmincke for the last twenty years, and that "John Temminck hath bene and at present is a merchant of good esteeme and quality in Hamborough from whence within these twelve monethes last past of this deponents knowledge hee hath used to trade french commodityes and to that purpose hath his factors or correspondents there resident; Jacob Van Brooke mentioned that Temmincke had correspondents at Bayon and other places in France[1,212]; John Temmnincke's long term Bayon factor was Nicolas Van Elen, whom Jacob Van Broke believed to be Flandrian born and only a merchant stranger in Bayon.[1,213]

Thomas Andreison, master of the Hamburg vessel the Hope provides a colourful picture of John Temmincke in November 1653. He names him as "Jan Temminck of Ryck street Hamburgh middle age sallow complexion and browne hair".[1,214] As in the case of the Saint John Baptist (Master: Jacob Van Brooke" the Hope had been on a voyage to France, in this case to Rouen ("Rohan"), and it appears that "Jan Temminck" had goods on board the ship alongside other Hamburg merchants (ADD NAMES)[1,215] The lead freighters appear to have been Harman Berens and Abraham Vanderweeden. The latter may have been of Dutch origin, as may Temmincke.

Henriette De Bruyn Kups (2007) suggests that the Temingh [alt. Temmincke] family was part of an extensive European network of merchants including the Van de Luffell, Temmingh, Valck and Van Immersael families, and linked to the de Letter family of Antwerp. She gives the specific example of "Jan Temminche" in Hamburg, stating "This merchant of Hamburg ordered 51 pipes of Nantais wine to be shipped North in 1631. Rotterdam records prove that Jan Temingh lived in Hamburg in 1643, when he stored tobacco and preserves belonging to Pedro alias Pieter Valck [Falcon] in Antwerp. Valck's Rotterdam agent Michiel Diest authorized Abraham van de Luffel, who is based in Hamburg to take possession of the goods."[1,216]

Henritte De Bruyn Kups suggests that within the network Valck provided access to the Spanish market through his Antwerp location, linked to the Dutch merchant houses of Van Diest in Rotterdam and the Van Luffels in Middleburg, with their respective factors in Hamburg, with the Temmingh family present in Nantes and Hamburg [alt. Temminche; Temmincq], and linked to the van Immersael family of Rotterdam. The network was also linked through the van Immersael of Rotterdam family, one of whom who had married "Jacques de Letter, one of the three sons of the Mintmaster General of the Spanish Netherlands in Antwerp, thus providing the Temmingh - Valck - Van Immerseel - Van Luffel network with a vital link to the European money trade", Henriette de Bruyn Kups cites Stols (XXX), who noted that "the three brothers gained social prominence in Antwerp despite their reputation of smugglers" of colonial goods to Holland. Jacques became second treasurer to the city of Antwerp and brother Thomas de Letter, like his father, became Mintmaster General. Henriette de Bruyn Kops suggests that the "De Letter" family were well positioned "to launder the silver obtained in the illegal trade with Iberia and the rest of the Spanish empire."[1,217]

Speculatively, see the Hamburg born individual Adriaen Engelbertsz Temminch (b. 1635, Hamburg; d. 1688, Amsterdam)[1,218]; see also a Dutch record dated 1670 in which the first party was "Johan Temminck, koopman te Hamburg, en zijn vrouw Elisabeth Wismans", the second party was "Adriaen Temminck Engelbrechts, koopman binnen Amsterdam voor zichzelf en als gemachtigde van zijn broeder Henrick Temminck Engelberts, mede procuratie van zijn zuster en zwager, respectievelijk Engelbert Temminck en zijn vrouw Elisabeth Boots, alsmede van Michel Capijn en zijn vrouw Barnardina Temminck", the third party was "Samuel Lois, koopman te Rotterdam als behuwd vader, tevens als momber over de onmondige kinderen van Coenraet Temminck", the fourth party was "Nicolaes de Gijselaer, koopman te Amsterdam, als oom en testamentaire momber over de onmondige kinderen van wijlen Jacob Temminck en zijn vrouw Cornelia de Gijselaer en Adriaen Temminck Jacobszoon en zijn vrouw Geertruijt van der Hage", the fifth party was "Adriaen Temminck Aernouts en Jan de Vreede en zijn vrouw Barnardina Temminck Aernouts", and the final sixth party was "Cornelia Nicolai, weduwe van wijlen Pieter Temminck als moeder en voogdesse over haar kinderen"[1,219]

Speculatively, but plausibly see also a Staatsarchiv Hamburg record of legal proceedings in the Reichskammergericht, dated 1631 and 1645-1653, concerning Hamburg and Bordeaux. The plaintiff was Johann Temminck "Kaufmann und Bürger zu Hamburg, sowie Jacob Rouloffs und Jacques Taquet als Vormünder der Kinder des Engelbert Temminck, Kaufmann in Hamburg (Beklagter)". The defendants were "Johann Lüders, Kaufmann in Lübeck (Kläger) und als Nebenbeklagter der Rat der Stadt Hamburg". The dispute concerned goods in a ship seized by the Bordeaux merchant Magnus Arndes (Arents). The plaintiffs alleged that the goods belonged to their lender ("Schuldner") "Hans Brockes (der Ältere) in Lübeck". The defendants claimed the goods belonged to "Matthäus Rodde, Marcus Tiedemann, Hans Brockes (der Ältere) und Heinrich Spangenberg". The archival records include "Konnossement von 1631 des David Grotefedder, Schiffer aus Lübeck, über eine Partie Roggen und Weizen, die auf seinem Schiff "Jonas" von Lübeck nach Bordeaux transportiert werden sollte; Konnossement von 1631 des Hans Reimers, Schiffer aus Lübeck, über eine Partie Roggen, Draht und Kupfer, die auf seinem Schiff "St. Jacob" von Lübeck nach Bordeaux transportiert werden sollte; "Commissionsbrief" (Frachtbrief) des Hans Brockes (der Ältere) an Magnus Arndes in Bordeaux 1631; Abrechnungen und Briefe der beteiligten Kaufleute, u.a. des Hans Brockes (der Jüngere) in Bordeaux, aus der Zeit 1631-1635 (passim)."[1,220]

The above Reichskammergericht case refers to the presumably deceased Engelbert Temminck as a Hamburg merchant and covers the period 1645 to 1659. A further case at the Reichskammergericht, one of a disputed inheritance, was brought by the apothecary Jacques Taquet (Tacket) and the Hamburg merchant Jacob Rouloff(s) and covers the period 1606 to 1671. This case refers to Engelbert Temminck as a "Kaufmann in Amsterdam, dann in Hamburg". Defendants in this case are based in Amsterdam and then in Batavia.[1,221]

The above case, which has extensive documentation, include various inventories from the period 1641 through to 1662: "Inventare der Nachlässe der Sophia Temminck, des Engelbert Temminck und der Anna Temminck, geborene Wißmann, Witwe des Philip Dorville, Frau des Enngelbert (sic) Temminck, aus der Zeit 1642 bis 1662." Interestingly, Anna Temminck, the wife of Enngelbert [alt. Engelbert] Temminck, is the widow of Philip Dorville. The Dorville family name is one which appears in HCA records in the 1650s in the context of Hamburg-French trade. See Daniel Dorville and John Dorville', both living in Hamburg as merchants. John Dorville had a brother in Rouen in France ("one Dorville"), who acted as a factor for various Hamburg merchants.[1,222] A Phillip Dorville and a Samuell Dorville appear in another HCA case from November 1654, concerning the Amsterdam ship the Red Lyon (Master: John Clauson May) trading with France. In this case they are described as burghers and inhabitants of Amsterdam, and owners of the Red Lyon together with Marcus Jansen Mey and the ship's master.[1,223]

The link between Hamburg and Amsterdam and between the Temminck and Dorville names can be seen in the engagement of a Philippe Dorville of Hamburg to Cornealia Van den Bogaert of Amsterdam ("On 11 September 1648, Philippe Dorville, from Hamburg, 25 years old, mother still alive, assisted by his uncle Coenraet Temminck, was legally engaged to Cornelia van den Bogaert, from Amsterdam, 21 years old, assisted by her father Jelis van den Bogaart, living on the O.Z. Voorburgwal. [signed] Philippe d'Orville, Cornelia van den Boogaert - (DTB 466/119) - marriage intentions of the church - (Own research)"[1,224]

Another document of interest in the above Reichskammergericht case case is the "Ehezärter von 1626 zwischen Engelbert Temminck aus Kleve und Sophia Brouwer in Amsterdam" and the "nuncupativum testamentum reciprocum" (mündliches wechselseitiges Testament) von 1631 der Eheleute Engelbert und Sophia Temminck in Hamburg.

Manuel Texera [alt. Emanuel Texeira] - living at Hamburg; merchant; consignee of silver sent from Cadiz to Hamburg in the Hamburg ship Wheele of ffortune in 1653[1,225]; according to Jacob Gevers, the master of the Wheele of ffortune, "the said Manuell Texera about 9 yeares since that this deponent went from hamburgh lived as hee remembreth [?within] the [?Drackwall] in Hamburgh."[1,226]

An "Emanuel Texeira" appears as a co-defendant in Reichskammergericht litigation between the years 1654-1662, described as a "jüdischer Kaufmann in Hamburg". The plaintiff was Barthold Beckmann, a Hamburg merchant. The dispute concerned the sale of 100 chests of Indigo by Texeira to Hamburg merchants Rudolf Berenberg, Johann Schanternel und David Vermeulen.[1,227]

"An Emanuel Texeira", described in a mid-C19th secondary source as a rich Portuguese living in Hamburg, is identified as the Hamburg agent of Queen Christina of Sweden, with whom she stayed in Hamburg on a visit there in July 1654. Texeira's house is stated to be "hinter der neuen Michaelis-Kirche, am Krayenkamp."[1,228]. The same source states she purchased the same large house at "am Krayenkamp" and lived there in 1667. Opposite the house was the St Michaelis Kirchhofe.[1,229]. The house is mentioned in a modern topographical source.[1,230]

Genealogical details of Manuel Texera Vater and Manuel Texeira Sohn are provided in H. Graez (1868)[1,231]

Derrick Thooneman - living in Hamburg; merchant

The ship was seized by the English under charter by other Hamburgers en route from Ligorne back to Hamburg, having sailed on its outward journey from Hamburg to Archangel in Muscovy and down to Ligorne.[1,232]

Marcus Tinck - living in Hamburg; ?merchant

Anthony Lewis, Edward Peter's cashier and bookkeeper, deposed in October 1653 in support of Antwerp merchant Edward Peter's claim for silver, saying that "there is an Insurance of 2000 pounds flemmish made upon the said silver by Marcus Tinck Goddert van Haveren Abraham Stockman all Hamburghers"[1,233]

There were a number of Vermeulens living in Hamburg in the early and mid-C17th. These include Hans Vermeulen and David Vermeulen

A Reichskammergericht case (1644-1676) was brought by Walter Block, merchant, braunschweigisch-lüneburgischer factor and Hamburg citizen, against Heinrich S(ch)mits, Walter Boschaert and Hans Vermeulen, all merchants of Hamburg.[1,234]

A Reichskammergericht case (1633-1649) was brought by Jacques Budier, a Hamburg merchant, against the city of Hamburg and Heinrich Smits, a Hamburg merchant. The associated legal documentation includes seven marine insurance policies written in 1633 and 1634 by "Abraham du Bois, Hans Bornemann, David Vermeulen, Carl de Hertoge, Franz Borstelmann, Hans Berenberg Erben, Hans Borre, Peter Heusch, Michael Heusch, Walter Boschaert, Hans Hermann Steenbach, Stefan Rulandt 1633 und 1634."[1,235]

An "Emanuel Texeira" appears as a co-defendant in Reichskammergericht litigation between the years 1654-1662, described as a "jüdischer Kaufmann in Hamburg". The plaintiff was Barthold Beckmann, a Hamburg merchant. The dispute concerned the sale of 100 chests of Indigo by Texeira to Hamburg merchants Rudolf Berenberg, Johann Schanternel und David Vermeulen. The associated legal documentaion includes "Vergleich von 1656 der Witwe des David Vermeulen mit ihren Gläubigern."[1,236]

Norbert Angermann, Karsten Brüggemann, Thomas M. Bohn, Konrad Maier Kovač (2001) refer to the "1633 David Vermeulen erteilten Privilegien in Moskau und Archangel'sk, wo sich im 17. Jahrhundert der russiche Aussenhandel konzentrierte." They also state that "Ein Schwerpunkt der Handelstätigkeit der Firmengruppe Vermeulen-von Som-Butenant war der Handel mit Leder und Häuten. Insbesindere wurden in Russland grosse Partien Juchtenleder, daneben aber auch andere Häute und Leder sowie Pelzwaren, aufgekauft, nach Hamburg verschifft und von hier aus im deutshcen Binnenland und in Südeuropa vertrieben."[1,237]

Jorun Poettering (2013) identifies the Antwerpian "Kaufmannsfamilie Vermeulen", which had fled Antwerp and had dispersed to cities such as Leiden, Bremen and Hamburg by 1600.[1,238]

Hermann Kellenbenz (1958) identifies the firm of "Ludwig Vermeulen" in Hamburg, and mentions it in the context of other Christian firms "christliche Firmen wie Johann Baptista Juncker, Jürgen Schröttering, Carsten Holste, Ludwig Vermeulen, Geronimo Schnitger."[1,239] He gives an example from early 1655 of the Hamburg merchant Teixeira delivering indigo to Ludwig Vermeulen "für die Firma David Vermeulen Witwe und Erben", and taking payment in the form of a valuable diamond ring.[1,240]

Anke Martens (1999) states that David Vermeulen died in 1655: "David Vermeulen starb 1655 in Hamburg. Über das weitere Schicksal seines Sohnes Gillis (Elisej Davidoviö Fermolen) ist nichts bekannt."[1,241]

Thomas Utenholt [alt. Uthenholt] - living in Hamburg; merchant; commercially linked to Berend Dreier (b.?, d.1646), a Hamburg born but Cadiz resident merchant, and to his sons, Berend and Mathias Dreier. Berend Dreier junior acted from Cadiz in 1657 on behalf of Albert Berens, in Berens' suit against Franz Sloyer and the estate of Vincente del Campo, the Hamburg born long-term resident of Cadiz, who died in 1655 in Cadiz.

Bernardt Jacobsen Carpfanger brought a case in the Reichskammergericht (1661-1679(1662-1700)), in the name of his wife, against "Thomas Utenholt in Hamburg als Bevollmächtigter des Berend und Matthias Dreier, Kaufleute in Cadix und Söhne des Berend Dreier." The associated documentaion includes an "Aufstellung über den Geldbesitz des Berend Dreier bei seinem Tode 1646."[1,242]; [1,243]

Steve Murdoch (2010) makes reference to two Hamburg captains, "Alexander Lencke and Michael Utenholt", who were involved in a spat with an English naval vessel over the English naval vessel's attempt to retake a Dunkirker near Bergen. Murdoch suggests the incident was the ostensible cause of the Scottish-Hamburg Reprisal war, 1628-1643[1,244]

The National Archives, Kew contain a State Paper described as "Senate of Hamburg to Alexander Loncquen and Michael Utenholt, to answer suit", dated Jan 22/Feb 2 1631[1,245]

Philip Verpoorten - living at Hamburg; merchant; may have been related to Joachim Verpoorten, a merchant, resident at Amsterdam, who was correspondent to Hamburg born, but San Lucar resident and merchant, John Scrother, and possibly to the Lemmerman family in Hamburg. Philip van Dunhem, Hamburg master of the ship the Saint Mary, identified in November 1653 "Arnold Belties and Philip Verpoorten burghers and merchants of Hamborough" having taken his ship to freight by charter party with the ship owners for a voyage from Hamburg to Archangell in Muscovie to lade Russian leather to be transported to Ligorne"[1,246]

"Philipp Verpoorten" appears with his companion Arnold Beltgens, both Hamburg merchants, as plaintiffs in a Reichskammergericht case from 1680-82. The defendant is the Hamburg mariner ("Schiffer"), Peter Tam. The case mentions the arrest and loss of Tam's ship off the coast of Ireland and related costs and breach of contract on a voyage from Archangelsk to Livorno.[1,247]

A further case before the Reichskammergericht with dates 1676-1688 and 1696-1702 was brought by plaintiffs "Erben des Hermann Huping sowie Philip Verpoorten, Rudolf Amsinck, Peter Heusch, Adrian Boon und Konsorten, Kaufleute in Hamburg" against Johann Jakob Hübner, Kaufmann in Hamburg. The documentation inckudes accounting documents, Spanish dispatches and legal judgements from courts in madrid from the period 1677-1681, a settlement with a supposedly Dutch merchant in Alicante, Mathäus Zollikoffer, and further documents from later dates[1,248]

A letter to Philip Verpoorten in Hamburg dated 1674 has been preserved in Antwerp: "Briefwisseling tussen correspondenten van Henri François Schilders: Inventory no. 201: Brief vanwege Theodore Jacobssen te Londen aan Philip Verpoorten (Hamburg). 1674, 22 mei. 1 stuk."[1,249]

Peter Vinck - living at Hamburg; merchant; Hamburg merchant Jacob Wigandi stated in support of the claim of the Lemmermann family for goods in the Black Cock that "there is insurance made of 600: li flemmish by Peter [?Vinck] of 600: li fflemish by Frans Sloyer, of 600: li flemmish by Jurian Scothering, and of 800: li flemmish by Lodowick [?fraulus] all merchants and subiects of Hamburgh"[1,250]

ffrancis Wallich - living at Hamburg; "of Greens street Hamburgh"[1,251]; merchant[1,252]; XXX implies ffrancis Wallich haveing earlier lived in Spain[1,253]

Hermann Kellenbenz (1954) mentions the family "Die Wallich", including a reference to "Franz Wallich" in his study of entrepreneurs in the Portuguese and Spanish trade 1590-1625[1,254]

Peter Wield - living at Hamburg; part-owner of the Hamburg ship the Leaping Hart; John Menke stated that "the owners of the sayd shipp [the Leaping Hart] were and are all Hamburghers and there videlicet att Hamburgh now dwell and have lived and inhabited for this 26 yeares last past and indeed all their tymes respectively. and their names and inter[?ests] therein were and are as followeth videlicet. Augustin Hendrickson was and is owner of one eighth part of the sayd shipp the Leaping Hart, Harman Hendrickson of one 16th part. Simon Cornelison Prophet of one 16th part. and Bartall Yonkall was and is owner of one halfe of the sayd shipp and Peter Wield and his brother whose name att present he remembreth not were and are owners of one eighth part of the sayd shipp. and saith that the sayd present owners bought their sayd respective parts and shares therein about 7 monethes now past att Hamburgh of and from the foresaid Peter Bruyer and his brother and they and this deponent payd for the whole shipp five thousand markes Lubeckes"[1,255]

Arnold Woulters [alt. Wolters; Wouters - living at Hamburg; merchant; claimant for silver in the Angell Michael, laded by his factor at San Lucar, which was to be transported from San Lucar to Hamburg for his account[1,256]

Juan Motte, who despite his name was himself of Hamburg birth though resident in Seville, stated in December 1653 that "Arnold Woulters was and is an Hamburgher borne and for such commonly accounted this deponent himselfe being a native of the same place And further saith that the sayd Arnold Woulters in the sayd moneth of November 1652 and att the tyme of the lading of the sayd sylver and money respectively as aforesaid and for six yeares before or thereabouts was and is an inhabitant of Hamburgh. and that for about 11 yeares next before he lived in Sevilia in Spayne as a merchant stranger this deponent being his servant and cashier for the greatest part of the sayd 11 yeares. And that the producent for about 6 or 7 yeares last past hath bene and is burgher of Hamburgh, and for all his tyme hath bene and is a subiect of the free State of Hamburgh"[1,257]

An entry in the CSPD, 1654-55, reads: "11. Order on petition of Arnold Woulters, merchant of Hamburgh, - stating that he having a parcel of silver value 220 1., laden on his account in Spain in the St. Michael, and consigned to him at Hamburg, the ship was taken by a Commonwealth vessel, but discharged in the Admiralty Court as a free vessel, with her lading, the silver excepted; yet that on the petitioner's claiming the silver, the Admiralty Court ordered the Prize Goods' Commissioners to restore it, but they were unable to do so, as it had been coined in the Mint; - that Capt. Hatsell and Mr. Jessop examine how much the silver, originally in pieces of eight, amounts to in money, and report."[1,258]

Arnold Wolters (sic) appears in a Reichskammergericht dispute spanning the years 1629 to 1663; the archival metadata state: "Kläger: Ferdinand Feust, Kaufmann in Hamburg (Kläger).- Beklagter: Niclas von der Willigen, Jürgen Lüders und Hans Berenberg als Schiedsleute in den Streit des Klägers mit Arnold Wolters und Gabriel Marselis (der Ältere), Kaufleute in Hamburg (Beklagter) sowie als Nebenbeklagter der Rat der Stadt Hamburg und Jacques Martin(i), Gläubiger des Klägers und französischer Konsul in Hamburg". Documents include "Geschäftsbriefe und Abrechnungen von 1629-1633 des Klägers, Arnold Wolters und Jacques Budier (der Ältere)"[1,259]; the documents relating to the above legal case include "Geschäftsbriefe und Abrechnungen von 1629-1633 des Klägers, Arnold Wolters und Jacques Budier (der Ältere)". Wikipedia UK states in an article on Gabriel Marselis (b.1609; d.1673) that he was a Dutch tradesman and landowner, son of Ganriel Marselis Senior (b.ca.1575; d.1643) and brother of Selius Marselis. Born in Hamburg, the son settled in Amsterdam in 1634. His commercial activities included owning iron and copper works in Norway, owning land in Denmark and Norway, and trading with King Christian IV of Denmark.[1,260] An extensive profile is available in Norwegian in the online Norsk biografisk lexicon entry for Gabriel Marselis D.Y.

Another case involving Jacques Budier states he is "in Speyer", acting for himself and his daughter Jacoba Budier as heirs of the Hamburg merchant Ulrich Lupoldt (der Ältere). Among the defendants were Lovis du Bois, Abraham Stockman, Joachim von Spreckelsen, Matthias von Aspern, Jacob Rouloff als Kurator der Anna Feust, Witwe des Anton Feust, Joris (Dietrichs Sohn) Schötteringk, Dietrich Cordes und die Witwe des Juden Diego Carles, sämtlich als Gläubiger der Brüder de Schott[1,261] Kellenbenz (1954) states that Jacque Budier traded to Russia, Portugal and Spain, and that he married a daughter of the Spanish trader Ulrich Lutpoldt.[1,262]

Wilkin Wrede [alt. Wilken Wrede; Wilcken Wrede] [der älterere & der jüngere] - living in Hamburg; merchant;

Part-owner of the Saint Mary of Hamburg (Master: Peter van Dunhem) in 1653. The complete list of owners was Henry Selm, Daniel Brandts, Wilkin Wrede, Philip Collin[?s], Derrick Thooneman, Balthazar Pauland, ffrans van Bremen, Gregorie Harman, the ship's master Peter van Dunhem, and van Dunhem's brother-in-law. The ship was seized by the English under charter by other Hamburgers en route from Ligorne back to Hamburg, having sailed on its outward journey from Hamburg to Archangel in Muscovy and down to Ligorne.[1,263]

Lead owner of the Crowne Imperiall (Master: Hans Meynerson), which was built at Serdam by order of "Wilkin Wrede and Company"[1,264]; the full list of owners was Wilkin Wrede, Lodwick Vermalen, Otto Holmers, Tobias Hamman, Didrack or Didrick Roopke, Peter Van Doome, ffrans Meynck, Hans [?Vonns], Hendrick Momma and Hans Meynerson.[1,265]

Sole owner of the Saint Peter of Hamburg (Master: Claus Takes), which Wrede puchased from the Hollander John Cornelison Dorp. Described as a hoy, Wrede used the ship to fetch corn from the East Country for Lubeck, and also for France.[1,266]

One of the plaintiffs in a Reichskammergericht case brought by Paul Berenberg (der Ältere) in Hamburg against Hans Janßen, Wilcken Wrede und Claus Martens in Hamburg in a dispute about the insurance of a ship load of salt from Lisbon (1638-1643)[1,267]

A "Wilcken Wrede (der Ältere)" is one of the defendants in a case brought between 1658 and 1663 by Melchior Spieker und Caspar Scherenberg, merchants and citizens of Hamburg in the Reichskammergericht[1,268]

A "Wilcken Wrede (der Jüngere)" is mentioned in a rental contract of the rental of a property ("Hof: beim Eisernen Heinrich" ) by Heinrich Schlebusch to Wrede. The Hof allegedly belonged to Gotthard Marquard, Bürger zu Lübeck and was rented to Wilcken Wrede (der Jüngere). The Hof had been allegedly sold by its owner to Heinrich Schlebusch ca. 1661.[1,269]

Jorun Poettering (2013) suggests that Wilken Wrede specialosed in the grain trade. She states "Wilken Wrede, vom Umsatz her an dritter Stelle, handelte zu 36% Weizen, zu 31% Roggen und zu 11% Gerste."[1,270]

Martin Reissman (1975) mentions "Wilcken Wrede" quite frequently, and provides details of business turnover.[1,271]; He mentions Wrede's activities in the grain trade, providing delivery statistics, and mentions grain deliveries to Spain and Portugal[1,272]

Roland Baetens makes reference to a firm or partnership of "Brandes-Snutquer, die als inkoopcommissionair optrad."[1,347] Baetens also lists the firm "D.Brandes en J.Snutquer" against Danzig.[1,348].

Finally, the case of the seizure in November 1653 of the Hamburg ship the Saint Michaell also knowne as the Angell Michaell, led to a claim by "Danyell Brands and Jeronimo Snitger for theire silver", which had been laden on the ship. Peter Scholenburgh, mate of the seized ship, deposed in support of the claim. A forty-four year old Hamburg mariner, he stated that "hee hath beene a neere neighbour to the producents Danyell Brand and Jeronimo Snitgar for many yeares And well knoweth for theis twenty yeares past or thereabouts the said producents respectively have driven a constant and usuall trade from Hamborowe to Saint Lucar Cadiz and other Ports and places in Spayne for silver and other merchandizes which hee knoweth for that he this deponent hath bin imployed by them in voyages from Hamborowe to Spayne and from thence hath brought home goods wares and merchandizes and others of this deponents knowledge have brought silver from Spayne to Hamborowe for theire accompt and soe much is generally knowne in Hamborowe amongst such as knowe the producents and each of them"[1,354]

Vincent Clingeburgh [alt. Klingenbergh; Klingenberg] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one eighth part-owner of the Salvador[1,355] [1,356]; probably the "Vincent Klingenberg" mentioned as active in the Hamburg-Iberian trade in the study by Martin Reissman (1975) of Hamburg merchants in C17th.[1,357] Reissman identified him as the son of a brewer, born in 1615.[1,358] Other secondary sources suggest that Vincent Klingenberg was the nephew of the Danish Postmaster-General in Hamburg, Paul [von] Klingenberg, who was also a Danish Admiralty Counsellor ("Admiralitätsrat")[1,359], and that Vincent Klingenberg became a director of the Danish Guinea Company in Glückstadt in 1660.[1,360] See Klingenberg (alt.

Snutquer; Jeronymus Schnitker; Jeronymus Schnitquer; Hieronymus Schnitker] - living in Hamburg; merchant; one eighth part-owner of the Salvador[1,379] [1,380]; The Staatsarchiv Hamburg has a record of a dispute about insurers paying out on an insurance policy on a shipment of silver. The insurance policy was taken out by the deceased Cadiz based Hamburg merchant Vincent von Kampen. The sum in dispute was 10,000 Reichstaler. The dispute was between on the one side Johann Baptista Juncker (a known part owner of one of the Silver Ships, the Saint George, Abraham Stockmann (a Hamburg merchant, who had also written insurance on another silver ship, the Saint John Evangelist), the heirs of the merchants Peter Finx and Duarte Esteves de Pina, and on the other side the Hamburg merchant Geronimo Snitquer, in whose name the insurance policy was made, though paid for by Vincent von Kampen.[1,381] Jonathan Israel identifies Duarte Esteves de Pina as a Hamburg based Sephardic Jew, citing an archival source from 1651 in the Staatsarchiv Hamburg, Admiralitätskollegium.[1,382] Roland Baetens makes reference to a firm or partnership of "Brandes-Snutquer, die als inkoopcommissionair optrad."[1,383] Baetens also lists the firm "D.Brandes en J.Snutquer" against Danzig.[1,384] See Schwitger (alt.Snitquer, Snutquer family) The eponymous son of the merchant Jeronimus Schnitker was born in 1648, and met an untimely end, executed by the City of Hamburg.[1,385] John Hey, master of the Hamburg ship the Goulden Mill (with a crew of 14 men and boys) stated that his ship was "fraighted upon Charter partie by Jerome Snitcher and Daniel Brandts Merchants and Burghers of Hamborough" for a voyage from Hamburg to Mallega and back in 1653, carrying goods for the two merchants, together with other Hamburg merchants.[1,386] The owners of the ship were: "John Scrothering Peter van Sprechels Peter Guldenhair, Arent van Haesdonck and the widdow of John Hartmann[?sson] late Master of the said shipp all Hamburghers and Natives of that place"[1,387]; "Daniel Brandes and Jeronimo Snitger marchants of Hamborough" were consignees of "one barr of silver weighing one hundred fourtie one marjes two ounces" in the ship the Wheele of ffortune[1,388]

Abraham de Bois [alt. Abraham du Bois; Abraham de Boyes] - living in Hamburg; burger and subject of Hamburg; deceased; original part-owner of one eighth of the Saint George[1,389]

Maartje van Gelder (2009) identifies the du Bois family as part of a complex European trade network in the first half of the C17th. He names Alvise du Bois, who was located in Venice and involved in a partnership founded by Martin Hureau in Cologne in 1608. Alvise returned to the Low Countries in 1638 (p.203). He also names Alvise's brother, Abraham du Bois, who he states was resident in Hamburg, and who later joined the Hureau led partnership.[1,390]

Roland Baetens writes in a footnote that "Abraham du Bois was te Hamburg uitgegroeid tot een vermogendste kooplieden".[1,391]

Reinhard Löhmann (1969) identifies a link between the du Bois and Wolters families of Hamburg, with Jacoba du Bois, daughter of Abraham du Bois, marrying Liebert Wolters in 1641.[1,392] Löhmann also mentions a "Louis du Bois", who may be the son, "Lawrence de Bois" who took over his father's part-ownership of the Salvador.[1,393]

A web based genealogical source is consistent with Reinhard Löhmann, giving the parents of Jakoba du Bois (b.1622, Köln Rhein) as Abraham du Bois and Barbara Boudewein, and giving Jakoba's husband as Liebert Wolters (b.1607, Stade, Niedersachsen, m.1641, Hamburg, d.1664).[1,394] The same source gives the father of Abraham du Bois as "Louis Bois", of Amsterdam, and his mother as Gertrude Bellevord.[1,395]

Roland Baetens (1876) identifies Abraham du Bois as the receipient in Hamburg in 1632 of 60,000 dukaten sent from Venice by the widow of Alvise du Bois' partner [?XXX] Hureau.[1,396] See Du Bois family
