Dutch Wikipedia entry: Philip Van Hulten (1627-1692)

Extract: "Philip van Hulten of Philipo van Hulten (1627-1692) was een koopman en een van de eerste directeuren van de Sociëteit van Suriname, actief vanaf 1680 tot 1689. Hij is aangezocht door Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijk mogelijk om de belangen te behartigen met het katholieke Spanje.

In 1683 richtte Van Hulten samen met Jacob Boreel, Joan Huydecoper van Maarsseveen (1625-1704), Gillis Sautijn en Willem Sautijn een compagnie van negotie en handel op, die een of meer suikermolens en een plantage zou inrichtine in Suriname. Van Aerssen zou in Suriname hun belangen behartigen. Van Hulten kwam in opspraak bij de verzending van ossen uit Ierland naar Suriname, verboden particuliere handel.

Over zijn benoeming was in 1686 veel te doen, omdat hij katholiek was en de Zeeuwen tegen "papen" waren. Waarschijnlijk is dat er in 1685 een toezegging is gedaan aan de Spaanse kroon voor het verkrijgen van het Asiento, dat er katholieke geestelijken zouden worden uitgezonden naar de plantages. Toen de twee priesters ziek werden en stierven zijn hun kisten naar de Staten van Zeeland retour gestuurd, die de merkwaardige zending weigerde. Van Hulten kreeg de opdracht de kisten terug te sturen naar Suriname.

Op 12 december 1689 werd Van Hulten niet toegelaten tot de vergadering van de Sociëteit. Het duurde tot 1696 voor de familie Van Aerssen weer een aantal directeuren kon aanstellen, waaronder Hermannus Amya en George Clifford.

Van Hulten woonde in Amsterdam op de Keizersgracht 268, genaamd de Gouden Ketting, een pand dat in 1998 bij een verbouwing is ingestort."
