On January 21, 1650, a property transaction took place in Amsterdam. The document describes multiple parties involved in a property sale. The sellers were Thomas Fredericksz, Andries Jochemsz (a tailor married to Celitje Fredericx), Claes Hendricksz (a house carpenter married to Neeltje Fredericks), and Barent Jansz Backer (married to Jannetje Fredericks). All were heirs of their grandmother, Eeltje Willems.
They sold a house and property to Bastiaen Adriaensen. The property was located on the Gelantiers graft, bounded by Gopje Pieters (widow of Hendrick Jesse) on the east side and Joos vander Beeck on the west side, extending to the property of Anna Jans (wife of Jan Jansz Backdach).
The sale price was 3,600 guilders, to be paid in two installments:
The house and cellar were rented out for one more year, with the house renting for 155 guilders and the cellar for 66 guilders. The buyer would have to honor these existing rental agreements but would receive the rental income. The document was witnessed by Johannes Hellerus, a public notary of the Court of Holland residing in Amsterdam.
