Hi:

I am seeking the parentage of Jan Pietersz van Leeuwen (1593-1663) of 16th/17th century Moordrecht.

According to J. de Jager † en H.M. Kuypers, Bewoningsgeschiedenis van de dorpen in de Krimpenerwaard, voor 1700 – Gouderak, Jan Pieters van Leeuwen (born about 1593 based on a deposition, recorded at Gouda on 17 August 1629 (36jr); buried on 23 January 1663 in Moordrecht; married about 1619 to Neeltje Leenderts Trompert (born about 1597, died before 22 June 1674), daughter of Leendert Hendriks and Trijntje Dirksdr.

They were the parents of the following known children: (a) Wijntje Jans van Leeuwen who married Huijbert van Eijck, (b) Pieter Jans van Leeuwen; and (c) Hendrik Jans van Leeuwen who married, on 16 January 1655 at Gouda, Neeltje Jans Proost, daughter of Jan Jans Proost 1597* x Pietertje Gijsdr of Gouderak.

It's a given that the name of Jan Pietersz van Leeuwen was Pieter.  It's very possible that Jan's father appeared on "lijst 1595" but there are too many candidates by the first name of Pieter to make a positive and certain identification.

Any assistance would be sincerely welcomed.

P.S.  In J. de Jager † en H.M. Kuypers's massive work, they kindly transcribed "lijst 1595," "lijst 1651," "lijst 1680," and "lijst 1685."  Does anyone know where the original scans of these "lijsts" are recorded and where scans of the originals can be obtained?  Thanks.
 

First one refers to archive of Hof van Hollant, registers van civiele sententies inv.588 [link]

Thanks!

The list from 1595 appears to start at scan 39.  See here: https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken/archief/3.03.01.01/invnr/588/file/NL-HaNA_3.03.01.01_588_038?query=588 Am I correct?

The OA references.  (Oud Archief)?  One appears obvious: Gouda.  The other must be for Moordrecht?

Oud Archief indeed but I failed to find it online. Perhaps someone else know it?

I think it might be on this site, somewhere.  I'll go through it:  https://www.archiefman.nl/inv/ac1.htm#10.v.08

Returning to the central question of my query, I would sincerely welcome anyone's assistance concerning the parentage of Jan Pietersz van Leeuwen (1593-1663) of 16th/17th century Moordrecht.

Thanks.

Archiefdienst Midden Holland holds the info about the villages around the city Gouda, per example Moordrecht

Hi Grada:

Thanks.  I have been in contact with them concerning the info about the villages near Gouda.  Just wanted to redirect this inquiry back to the original question concerning the parentage of Jan Pietersz van Leeuwen.

From HOF VAN HOLLAND, 1550-161 9 deel I, inv.nrs. 522-649, I think I may have turned up one possible candidate

Hmm, could be but I doubt it. Jan, Pieter and 'van Leeuwen' are very common names. And the topography - assuming my interpretation is right - is also not very close:

Distance Ter Aar - Moordrecht is well over 20 kilometers. So yes, it is a candidate, but I think much more is needed to make it a likely candidate. And www.archiefman.nl certainly is one of the places where I would start digging.

- There is a "Jan van Leeuwen" without patronym appearing once in 1618. If it is the person you are looking for he must have been ~25 years.
- Potentially 2 brothers "Pietersz van Leeuwen". And 2 (or 3?) Pieters as candidate fathers.
- The author of this document (J. Heemskerk) apparently has drawn the conclusion that 'van Leeuwen' and 'van der Leeuw' may/can be synonymous in this context (time, place)

[Edit:] Scans are to be found here. Choose "Streekarchief Midden-Holland in Gouda", then "19 Archief van het Gerecht Moordrecht". For "Jan van Leeuwen, 36,126v 1- 3-1618"(see above) choose 36, and then around scan 250 the scans are showing the date of the first of March 1618. (You may be busy for a while....)

Hi Bart:

Sorry for the delay in replying to your kind response. I'll take your word for it on the geography lesson - LOL.  Thanks.

And thanks for pointing out the 1618 record concerning a "Jan van Leeuwen" without a patronym. Incidentally, Jane deposed his age in 1629 as being 36 years old, so it could be the same person. I'll check out the document you mentioned.  

With deep appreciation,

Steve
