On December 8, 1770, Barend Glastus, who was married to Grietje de Groot, appeared before notary Hermanus van Heel in Amsterdam. Grietje de Groot was previously married to Gelmert van Zoenen. Through a testament made on August 12, 1701 before notary Abraham Commans, she inherited from her first husband and became guardian of their two children.

Gelmert van Loenen was the only child of Jannetje van Sallen and Hendrik van Loenen. Jannetje van Sallen, along with Jan van Salsee and Aagje van Saslen, were children of Annetje Kensen, widow of Gelmert van Loenen.

Aloisius Hermanus Blokhuizen was married to Antje van Lasseo, the only child of Jan van Sabsed and Breehje ten Hovd.

Willem van Genrip was the executor of Annetje Adicaans's testament and guardian of her minor heirs. Willem, Hendrik, and Arnoldus van Gennip, along with their deceased sister Anna (who was married to minister Fredick Robert Evert Hebbeling of Dubbeldam and died without children on February 19, 1760), were the children of Aage van Lasse and Arend van Geanip.

On June 20, 1709, the city magistrates ordered an accounting of the management of a house in the Kalverstraat. The parties agreed to settle all claims for 325 guilders.

On November 8, 1898, soldier Johannes Hermanus Blok died in Nbalang. His estate had a negative balance of 26.08 guilders. However, the estate was entitled to 151.92 guilders from the National Postal Savings Bank. On June 26, this money was paid to his heirs in Amsterdam: his parents Johannes Blok and Engelina Scholtens, who lived at 2e Oosterparkstraat 74. The debt of 26.08 guilders still needed to be collected from the heirs.

On July 19, 1899, Lieutenant Colonel Speerin, commander of the Colonial Reserve in Nijmegen, informed the Minister of Colonies in The Hague about the address of the deceased soldier's parents. This was in response to a letter dated July 17 requesting this information.

On May 13, 1924, Hermanus Blokdijk, a mechanic from Schoten, appeared before Marcus Slingenberg, a candidate notary in Haarlem. Blokdijk declared that he owed Pierre Francois de Bordes, a former notary from Haarlem, the sum of 2,500 guilders. The loan came with these conditions:

• Interest rate of 6% per year
• Payments due every six months on May 13 and November 13
• First payment due November 13, 1924
• Loan cannot be called in before May 13, 1929
• After that date, loan can be called in with 3 months notice
• Payment must be made in Dutch gold or silver currency
• All costs related to the loan are paid by the debtor

As security, Blokdijk provided a first mortgage on his property: a house with front and back garden at Gedempte Schalkburgergracht 51 in Schoten, measuring 124 square meters. The debtor must maintain the property in good condition and cannot rent it out for more than one year without written permission from the creditor.

In Langewolsterdeel district in 1732-1734, officials needed to be appointed for two-year terms. The council of Ommelanden (the region between the rivers Eems and Lauwers) ordered local nobles and landowners to meet at the church in Noordhorn on November 23, 1732 at 6:00 AM. Dr. P. Venhuisen signed this order on October 14, 1732, and it was presented by R. D. Mepscher. The document also mentions earlier proceedings from July 50, 1735 involving Rudolph de Mepsche and others, with witnesses Johannes Roggeveen and Hermanus Blok present in 's-Gravenhage.

On November 8, 1898, private Johannes Hermanus Blok (service number 4948132581) died of typhoid fever in Malang. On November 13, 1898, European corporal clerk Willem Joseph Reveaux (service number 43740) died in Cimahi. He was born in Rembang, son of Mathias Joseph Reveaux and an indigenous woman named Sida. His last residence was in Padang where he served as a pupil in the colonial service.

On May 8, 1909 in Haarlem, an inventory was made of various household items and valuables. Blok acted as an appraiser and took items into safekeeping. Joseph Wolf Goudeket, a diamond merchant from Amsterdam (Amstel number 63), held several valuable items including jewelry and precious metals. These included gold bracelets, watches, rings, diamond earrings, and other precious items, totaling 84.50 guilders. Baruch declared that the estate included 1,110 guilders in cash, consisting of:

In 1794, Captain Jan Arends sailed from the Dutch East India Company to Canton (China) via Batavia on the ship Voorland. Due to war, he only reached Batavia, where he died in 1796. His widow, Maria Magdalena Otten, requested payment for her late husband's unpaid monthly wages of 125 guilders per month. He had served 24 months but she had only received payment for 9 months, leaving 15 months unpaid, plus half of the usual bonus. When Arends left for Batavia in 1794, he arranged for his wife to receive three months' wages (375 guilders) per year of service through a monthly letter of payment. She received this payment three times in 1796 and 1797, totaling 9 months of payments.

On August 24, 1813, regulations were established concerning salary payments in Dutch East Indies (published in the Indies State Paper 1876). According to Article 26, salary payments could only be made through authorized authorities appointed by the Governor-General.

If someone wanted an advance on their salary, they had to apply through their local administration, charity institution, or state maritime or military authority. For military personnel, deductions were allowed for creditors.

The document includes a specific case about a former hospital attendant born in Amsterdam on February 10, 1664, who was living in Salatiga. He requested permission from the Minister of Colonies to receive his pension payment at the paymaster's office and to be issued proof of pension registration. The Lutheran Church Board was authorized to help obtain an advance on his behalf.

The document also mentions that this person was unmarried and living with Maria Magdalena Vermasen and Johannes Siemons until December 1888.

On August 11, 1816, P. Vanden Beren from Amsterdam requested permission to board the ship Augusta, captained by Jasabus Greselink, with his wife and two children. He lived at widow Elgnes' house in the Bantemen Street number 30. The document was sent to the Department of Trade and Colonies in The Hague on August 10, 1816 for consideration. In a separate letter dated August 4, 1716, Maria Magdalena Otten, widow of Jan Strenvs, living in Middelburg, wrote to the King of the Netherlands. She explained that her husband had sailed as sea captain for the East India Company in 1794 on the ship Voorland from Zeeland to Canton in China. Due to war troubles, he could only proceed to Batavia, where he made several voyages before requesting dismissal. He died in 1796. She reported receiving only 9 months of her husband's salary of 125 guilders per month, leaving about 15 months unpaid. She also claimed half of the survival bonus money she believed she was entitled to.

On April 6, 1826, Johannes Hubertus Ghussen, a Surgeon Major in the troops destined for the East Indies possessions, wrote to the Minister of Marine and Colonies. His wife Antonette Maria Magdalena von Aussen, living in Utrecht, was left with three children. According to regulations, he had set aside one-fifth of his salary for his wife. Like Major Otten, who was in similar circumstances and received 1,200 guilders per year, Ghussen requested 1,000 guilders in extra annual payments for his wife to help with the children's upbringing costs. He asked for a quick decision as he would soon leave for his posting.

On August 15, 1816 in Amsterdam, a report was written about a petition from Maria Magdalena Otten, widow of Jan Arends. Jan Arends had served as captain for the former Zeeland chamber on several ships, lastly on the ship Voorland. He departed on October 25, 1794. He had arranged for his wife to receive 3 months of his wages (125 per month) through a monthly letter arrangement.

According to the accounting records, his widow received payments of 375 on:

• February 18, 1796
• October 17, 1796
• October 19, 1797

Since Jan Arends served only about 2 years from his departure on October 25, 1794 until his death in 1796, his widow is not entitled to receive any additional payments. The monthly letter arrangement became void upon his death, as the petitioner has no further claims on her husband's earnings.

In this letter, officials discuss correspondence regarding ships and cargo. The ships mentioned are the Maria Magdalena, captained by Ian Sequijn, and the Agata Galeij, commanded by Karsten Otten. The letter acknowledges receipt of messages addressed to both the deceased Commander Hendrik Coesvelt and the writer, dated October 10 and November 29 of the previous year.

The document mentions that the bark Hoopwell returned after a 51-day journey from Suriname. Alexander de Lavaux was delivered there on orders from Governor Gerard van den Schepper. The text includes references to cargo manifests for private goods loaded onto these ships, with port duties having been paid, and mentions correspondence from June 13, 16, and 19.

On August 21, 1616, a report was made about Maria Magdalena Otten, widow of Jan Arends. Arends had been a Sea Captain serving the East India Company and died in Batavia on October 7, 1796. His widow requested payment of her husband's monthly wages. She had only received 4 months' worth, totaling 1125 guilders, and claimed she was still owed 15 months at 125 guilders per month, plus half of a premium.

When Captain Arends left for Batavia in 1794, he arranged for his wife to receive three months' wages annually at 125 guilders each. She received this through a monthly letter over 3 years at 375 guilders each time. Due to Arends' death, she was entitled to 5 months and 15 days, specifically 1637.10 guilders. She had already received part of what she could claim as her husband's heir, though the exact amount couldn't be determined because his death account from the ship Voorland was missing. Her claim for half of the premium was deemed completely unfounded, as premiums were only paid to those who completed their voyage.

The document describes an issue where the Receiver General M. Schotborgh was repeatedly avoiding having his colonial treasury accounts examined. He made various excuses, claiming illness or saying the accounts were out for collection. Finally, in August, C. L. van Uybreckt refused to check the treasury unless he was given both the accounts and lists of outstanding payments at the same time. He had to make this request in writing, as shown in letters dated August 13 and 14, 1287 and 290. These letters were sent to Vice Admiral A. Rikkert, the Governor General of Macao and its dependent islands. The document asks for permission to investigate whether all accounts listed as outstanding when Nubber handed over the bureau were truly unpaid at that time. If this would interfere with the ongoing legal proceedings against Schotborgh, the investigation could be left to the acting Fiscal Officer.

In March, after H. P. Nuboer, the General Controller of Finances, left his position, there were problems with financial records. Documents were sent from the General Receiver's office, not from the bureau, without any prior knowledge. When examining the accounts and lists, doubts arose about their authenticity, especially regarding recognition fees, as they were unsigned. Some accounts listed as unpaid were actually already paid, and the interim General Receiver (who was previously a bookkeeper) confirmed these records could not be found in the office.

When Nuboer departed, the former General Receiver provided signed lists of outstanding state funds. Although these matched Nuboer's index, attempts to verify the outstanding accounts were avoided until after Nuboer's departure. After he left, despite all efforts, it became impossible to successfully track the outstanding amounts.

This document appears to be a list of residents and payments from 1819, likely in a Dutch colonial settlement. It includes several prominent names and their financial transactions.

Some notable individuals mentioned include:

• G. van Wenedo
• Henriquez and family members
• Duyckinck
• D. Hoyer
• van der Dys
• de Rochemont
• van Raders
• Schotborgh family

The document notes that someone lived in Jamaica since 1816. One person is recorded as having died at the beginning of 1819. Another death is noted in 1816.

The document includes various financial transactions, with amounts listed in what appears to be a currency unit (possibly guilders). The total sum carried forward at one point is 3,378.

A tax or census record from 1819 lists various individuals in what appears to be a colonial Dutch settlement. The document includes notable entries such as Austatius, Louis Maisenaur, Jutting, Muller, Alsevier, Daniel Bing, Martyn, P Diander, Gihrels Hessusius, WA van Spengler, Julico Gomero Casseres, Christiaan Ansola, and Jan Molina. The document includes numerical values next to each name, possibly indicating payments or head counts. The document is noted as being a true copy of the original from the General Office, signed by Bilsevier Jung, who held the position of Fiscal. It includes a note about deaths at the beginning of 1819.

In Malabar on May 16, 1748, officials I. Popta and Van Gehren, witnessed by L. van Oosten and Jan Aij Smith, documented a shipment. The commander of the yacht Anna Catharina certified at the request of resident Jan Jurgen Smit that the pepper received at this residence was of good quality - old, dry, and well-sifted, neither moldy nor dusty, but in good condition. This inspection was carried out at the Dutch trading post in Porca on October 13, 1739, witnessed by Godlieb Smit and interpreter Steven Dias, and signed by S. Bade. The document continued with officials from the ship Sara Jacoba.

On August 7, 1750, Jacob Popta, a merchant in Amsterdam, appeared before Daniel van den Brink, a public notary. Popta declared that on the sixth of that month, he had sold 1/64 part of the ship "Vrouw Catharina", captained by Lambert Noordberg, to Abraham Costerus, another merchant in Amsterdam. The sale price was 125 guilders. The sale included:

• All the ship's equipment and accessories as they were on the day of sale
• Earned freight money
• Money at the Exchange

Popta acknowledged receiving full payment from Costerus and declared that he no longer had any rights or ownership to this 1/64 part of the ship and its belongings.

On December 29, 1760, Catharina Klok, widow of Gilles Van der Hoop, appeared before notary Isaac Pool in Amsterdam. She was the administrator of assets from the estate of Maria Swartepaart (last widow of Jacob Hennebedie). These assets were tied to a yearly legacy of 600 guilders, which Maria Boes, wife of Andries van Rosse, had received during her lifetime based on Maria Swartepaart's will.

Catharina Klok declared that she transferred ownership of a bond to Vincent van der Ley, council member and former alderman of Edam. This bond was issued by West Friesland and the Northern Quarter at the Edam office, originally registered to Catryntie Popta (widow of Pieter Swartepaar) for 1,000 guilders, dated September 2, 169, folio 308 verso, number 1403 (now 1503).

The bond was sold at public auction in Amsterdam on December 15, 1760. It came from the estate of Jacob Hennebo's widow, as shown in the inventory of her estate completed on December 13, 1734, before notary Hendrik van tken. The widow Hennebo was the only surviving child of Pieter Swartepaart and Catryntie Popta.

Catharina Klok acknowledged receiving full payment for the bond from the buyer and relinquished all rights to it, promising to protect the buyer against any future claims. The document was witnessed by Gerrit van Houten and Paulus Pieter Clerque in Amsterdam.

On the subject of the management of a company, Leendert Popta was given full ownership of a house and dye works located in Amsterdam near the city granaries. The property included all equipment needed for cloth preparation for six workers. Leendert Popta was to receive 4,000 guilders in cash.

All other credits and debts related to the company partnership would be handled separately. The first parties would bear all responsibilities, particularly regarding claims from:

• Hendrik Jans
• Joannes Bors Popta
• Catharina
• Steven de Corte
• Jan Oets

The agreement stipulated that Leendert Popta would be allowed to stay in the property until May 1, 1682. The document was signed in Amsterdam in the presence of witnesses Steven de Corte and David Joonsz.

Other signatories included:

• Joannes Popta
• Catharina van Vollenhove
• Jacobus Popta
