Constantia's father died on March 22, 1697 on the Prinsengracht (where the family lived at the time)

(13) (continuation): They also financially support Constantia's sister, although they cannot prevent her from being mistreated by her husband and dying at a very young age (see in the Amsterdam City Archives the deeds of 21 February 1726 by Jan Ardinois, those of 10 January 1725 by notary Jan de Vicq junior and inventory number 5001, deed number 1071 before her unfortunate death at the age of thirty. And Cornelis Vlaming was also executor of the will for his brother-in-law Lolke Boef (the brother of Evertje's husband).

(14) See in the Amsterdam City Archives the deed of November 18, 1719 by notary Nikolaas Brouwer.

(15) This information comes from the deed of February 15 and 18, 1715 with notary Gerard Burghout (see Amsterdam City Archives).

(16) This happened on September 19, 1724 with notary Jan Ardinois (see the deed of the Amsterdam City Archives, notarial archives 5075, inventory number 9088, deed number 282, pages 248-250).

(17) The estate still bore her name at the time. See the historical map which Gerrit Drogenham made around 1700. In the top right corner at the current address Gein Zuid 50 is the name “juffr. van Gelder” mentioned.

Consult the Old Judicial Archive number 2962, pages 171 and 172. After their death, the house was sold again by the heirs for 9,800 guilders (see the same archive, number 2964, pages 222 and 223).

Molhuysen and the newspaper article from the regency period: Uit den regententijd - Zwendelarijen in het 18 Eeuwsche Amsterdam. Het schandaal Sautijn - Scams in 18 Century Amsterdam.

And also at 5061 under 1 (Criminal matters) number 641A.

(22) There seems to have been some form of association and friendship, because a deed dated September 13, 1724 shows Evertje had previously participated in the lottery together with the wife of Willem Sautijn (see notary Johannes van Vilekens in the city archives in Amsterdam: archive number 5075, inventory number 7550, deed number 628770).

(23) See in the Amsterdam City Archives, among others, the deed of September 27, 1734 with notary Mathys van Son (number 124).

(26) The other half was in the possession of Constantia's sister Elisabeth and her husband. See in the Amsterdam City Archives the deed of July 25, 1736 by notary Isaak Angelkot.

(27) Anyone who is interested should check deed number 125 after the date of September 27, 1734 with notary Mathys van Son (in the Amsterdam city archives).
