The auction was for the estate of the late Jan Kamp, a farmer from Nierdens. His widow, Senaehen Meijers, acted on behalf of their underage children: Hermannus, Berendire, and Janna Kamp.
• The auction included household furniture, farming tools, rye, and other seeds. The notary signed the document on August 1, 1836.

On 19 November 1823, Albert Kamp bought a house with some farmland in Almelo from Berend Bavink. The property was roughly the size of 1 roede and 60 ellen (a traditional Dutch measurement), and the purchase was recorded in Almelo on 7 February 1824. The house and land were valued at 150 guilders, with an estimated rental value of 7.50 guilders.

Later, Albert Kamp and another party (likely H. J. de Brugge) agreed to exchange properties. The second party transferred ownership of a house in Wierden to Albert Kamp. This house was located next to the homes of Jan Wanschers and Mansus Eshuis and was registered as New Number 121 and Old Number 108. The property included:

• A piece of farmland, roughly 36 roeden and 32 ellen, called "den gaarden," located in front of the house near land owned by Mannes Eshuis, Jan Wanschers, and G. H. Wannekers.
• Another piece of farmland, 18 roeden and 16 ellen, which owed tithes (a type of tax) to G.J.O.D. Dikkers in Borne. This land was near property owned by Harm Niesink and H.r Gierveld.
• A small plot of wasteland, roughly 1 roede and 16 ellen, bought from the Markte of Wierden in 1827 for 4 guilders.

The total value of the exchanged property was estimated at 400 guilders, with a rental value of 20 guilders. As part of the deal, Albert Kamp agreed to pay the other party 250 guilders. The agreement was signed in Wierden on 1 March 1828 by Albert Kamp and H. J. de Brugge, and officially registered in Almelo on 17 May 1828.

On 21 April 1828, at 11 AM, in the home of Kastelein Johannes Hendrikus Witbroek in Oldenzaal, a notary named Hendrikus Mensink oversaw a legal process. Present were:

• Engbert Waalstede, a farmer;
• Johanna Waalstede, a servant working for Jannes Welhuis;
• Jannes Welhuis, acting as guardian for his minor relative Hermannus Waalstede;
• Gerrit Jan Mors, a farmer and father acting as legal guardian for his minor daughter Johanna Mors (daughter of his late wife Euphemia Waalstede);

All parties involved were residents of the Buurschap Lutte or Berghuizen in the municipality of Losser. The meeting followed legal procedures based on the law of 12 June (year not specified in this section).

On an unspecified date, Hermen Meijer and his wife Aaltjen Wolters formally acknowledged a debt of 1,100 guilders to Adolph Frederik Lodewijk, Count of Rechteren Limpurg. They agreed to repay this amount in full, without any objections or legal delays, at the count’s residence or to whoever held the official deed of debt.

• The repayment was due every January 26, starting in 1825, but only after a formal notice was given at least 6 months in advance.
• Until full repayment, they would pay annual interest of 4% (4 guilders per 100) on the same date.
• Payments had to be made in gold or silver coins currently in use—never in paper money, banknotes, or other government-issued securities, even if legally allowed.

As security for the debt, Hermen Meijer and Aaltjen Wolters pledged two properties they owned in the municipality of Stieden (near Wierden):

• Two plots of farmland on a field called Velthamp, totaling about 90 roods and 78 ell (Dutch measurements). These plots were separated by another piece of land owned by Roelif Coster and bordered:
  • To the east: land called de Vlessche, owned by Jannes Nysink, Hendrik Coster, Hendrik Keizer, Berend Coster, and Roelif Meijer.
  • To the west: common village fields.
  • At one end: the house and land of Gerrit Hendrik Dasselaar.
• One plot of taxable farmland in Wierden’s Esch, about 36 roods and 31 ell, located between land owned by Jan Gierveld and Jannes Staaman.
• One plot of farmland near de Borger, about 36 weden and 31 ell (another Dutch measurement), behind the Esch. It bordered:
  • To the west: land owned by the creditor (Count of Rechteren Limpurg).
  • On the other side: common village fields.

The couple declared under oath that these properties were fully theirs, free of any other mortgages or claims. They understood the legal consequences of lying, as explained by the notary in front of witnesses.

On an unspecified date, a land auction took place in den Ham (likely a district or village). The following parcels of land were sold or auctioned:

  • The east: land owned by the widow Straatmans.
  • The west: a parcel called "Swede."

  • The seaside: land owned by Gduige Hammen Poesten.

  It started at 53 guilders and, after multiple increases by Jan Voortvanberden, reached 74 guilders.

• Fifth parcel: Initially priced at 36 guilders, it was increased by Lambertus Voersen to 50 guilders.

The first, second, third, and fifth parcels were grouped together as a "mass" with a combined price of 508 guilders. This total was increased by Hendrik Jan Gierveld by 12 guilders, bringing the final price to 520 guilders. The group of parcels was then sold to Hendrik Jan Gierveld, with Helmich Bossink acting as guarantor. Both were from the community of den Ham.

The auction was recorded in the presence of witnesses Hendrik Negel (an innkeeper) and Jannes Poel (a field bailiff), both residents of den Ham. The document was signed by the seller, the notary (H. Lendenhovius and A van Elburg), the witnesses, and others involved. The original record remained in the possession of the notary.

On 7 March 1817 at 10 AM, the auction took place at the home of Adolf Wornes Roventhortt, the innkeeper of De Groene Jager. The items sold were iron bars located in the koosch (a type of storage or shed) in Eerde. The auction had the following conditions:

Payment was due by 30 September 1817 at the notary’s office. Late payments would incur a 5% penalty.

• On 2 May 1816, at the request of the landowners of Wierden and Hoog Heiel, a public auction took place at the home of Gosewijn Broese in Wierden.
• The auction was for leasing plots of peatland to dig turf, located near the middle boundary post of the Notter and Waarden areas in Wierden.
• The event was overseen by:
  • Doedo Jan Lamberts, a landowner and market judge from Almelo.
  • Gosewijn Broese, the local administrator and sheriff.
  • Committee members: Jan Giervelt, Derk Waelderink, Albert Meijerink, and Jan Mulder (all builders from Wierden).
  • Notaries: Jacobus van Riemsdyk and Jan Hendrik Warnaars from Almelo.
• The auction had been publicly announced on 21 April and 28 April 1816.
• The lease terms included:
  • A fixed period of 10 consecutive years.
  • Starting on 2 May 1816 and ending on 11 November 1826 (Sint Maarten).
• The agreement was signed by the market judge, committee members, and notaries after being read aloud.

• The agreement was signed in 1825 and required the first bidder to pay a fee of 2 guilders (each guilder worth 20 stuivers).
• If disputes arose over the bids, the landlord (Verpachteren) reserved the right to immediately reclaim the land.
• Tenants had to pay a deposit of 10% (or 2 stuivers per guilder) of the promised rent within 14 days to the notary Mr. Jacobus van Aemsdijk in Almelo. Half of this covered registration and publication costs, while the other half paid the notary’s fees.
• The peat fields could be dug out by tenants but not dredged. Any undug peat and the underlying soil remained the landlord’s property after the lease ended.
• Rent payments were to be made in cash to Doedo Jan Lamberts (or his successor) in Almelo, serving as the Markten Richter (market judge) of Wierden and Hooge Hesel. Payments were split into two equal installments:
  • Half by November 11, 1816.
  • Half by November 11, 1817.
  Late payments incurred a penalty: the debt had to be paid in stronger currency (21 stuivers per guilder), and the landlord could reclaim the land without refunding any rent paid.
• The 2-stuiver deposit (from point 3) was due in one payment, and tenants could not deduct it from their rent.
• Tenants had to provide two financially reliable guarantors, approved by the Markten Richter and committee. These guarantors were fully liable for the rent and lease terms. The Markten Richter could demand payment from either the tenant or the guarantors at any time.
• If a tenant failed or refused to provide guarantors, their leased land would be immediately re-auctioned, and they would forfeit any benefits. Guarantors who backed one tenant remained liable for any additional land that tenant leased, unless they formally withdrew or were rejected by the Markten Richter and committee.
• The Markten Richter and committee reserved one hour after the auction to accept or reject bids on behalf of the landowners (Goedsheeren en Geërfdens). They could also choose to keep some plots unleased.

• The text describes the leasing of 12 agricultural plots in the area near Wierden and Rectum (a hamlet). The leases were granted to local farmers, with details on rental prices, guarantors (called "borgen"), and literacy declarations.
