On August 27, 1659, several men appeared before notary public Adriaen Lock in Amsterdam. These men were Duarte Manuel Faro, Antonio Henriques de Gurnado, Antonio de Porto, and Juan de Crasto, all residents of the city. They were acting as guardians appointed by the orphanage masters for the heirs of Bernardo Lopes Elvi.

They declared selling and transferring an obligation (debt certificate) worth 3,200 Carolus guilders plus interest to Jeronimo Nunes Navarro, who was acting as guardian for Judith Navarre, daughter of the late Manuel Nunis Navarre. This obligation was originally against the common land of Holland and West Friesland at the office of Johannes Wttenbogaert, dated May 22, 1642 and approved by the Delegated Councilors on August 8, 1642. The obligation was registered in the name of Rachel Salomozorio.

The payment was settled through an obligation of 5,700 guilders, which Jeronimo Nunes Navarro and Jacob Navarre transferred to the heirs of Bernardo Lopes Elviu. The difference in amount was paid in cash. The transfer was witnessed by Jacobus Snel and Coenraet Fel.

On August 19, 1659, two people appeared before notary Adriaen Lock. The first was Jeronimo Nens Navarro, who was the guardian of Judith Navarre, the surviving daughter of the late Manuel Nunes Navarro. The second was Jacob Navarro, the surviving son of the same Manuel Nunes Navarro. Jacob Navarro had received permission from the States of Holland on July 13, 1659.

They declared that they had sold and transferred a bond worth 5,700 guilders to the heirs of Bernardo Lopis Elvin. This bond was issued by the States of Holland and West Friesland at the office of receiver Johannes Wttenbogaert on November 28, 1658 and approved by the authorized council on February 21, 1659.

The payment for this bond was made in two parts:

• A bond worth 3,200 guilders that was transferred to Jeronimo Nunes Navarro as guardian of Judith Navarre
• The remainder in cash paid to Jacob Navarro

The sellers promised to protect the buyers against any future claims on the bond. The document was signed in Amsterdam in the presence of witnesses Adriaen Kinneman and Coenraet Felt.

On April 19, 1667, a business contract was signed in Amsterdam before notary public Adriaen Lock. The agreement was between Jacob Benjamijn, Raphael Gomes, and Isaack Nunes Navarro. Under the terms:

• After expenses, profits would be divided as follows:
  • Jacob Benjamijn would receive one-fourth
  • Raphael Gomes would receive two-thirds of the remaining three-fourths
  • Isaack Nunes Navarro would receive one-third of the remaining three-fourths
• If Jacob Benjamijn traded goods in any of the seventeen provinces, he would receive 10% of the profits after expenses, with the remainder divided as above

On 12 October 1665, two witnesses appeared before notary Adriaen Lock in Amsterdam. They were Balthasar da Cuusa (also known as Alberto vanden Berch), aged 37, and Michiel Nietto de Parva (also known as Michiel Sen), aged 32.

They testified about a shipment of 200 pieces of cloth that was sent to Francisco Mansvelt in Seville in 1656. The ownership of the cloth was divided among several merchants:

• Martin Nabaro de Lion - 36 pieces
• Fernando Nunes - 50 pieces
• Sebastiaen Nietto - 36 pieces
• Michiel Nietto de Paiva - 18 pieces
• Jacob Rodrigues (also known as Francisco Rodrigues) - 10 pieces
• Balthasar da Cuusa - 50 pieces

The Spanish authorities confiscated the cloth, claiming it was English-made goods, which were contraband due to the war with England. Legal proceedings were started in Seville and later appealed to the royal council in Madrid.

The total costs of the legal proceedings amounted to 24,974 silver reals, or 6,983 guilders, 19 stuivers, and 8 pennies in Dutch money. Each owner had to pay their share based on how many pieces they owned. The witnesses confirmed that everyone, including Lea Sagatie (widow of Diego Nietto de Priva), paid their portion of the costs.

The witnesses also confirmed that a final settlement of accounts was made in June 1662, where 383 guilders and 5 stuivers were paid to Francisco Rodrigues through an assignment to Moijses and David Judalion.

On October 9, 1658, merchants Demijs Jennes and Balthasar Robijn from Amsterdam appeared before notary Adriaen Lock. They were involved with goods loaded on the ship "de Liefde" captained by Sijmon Jansz. They appointed Hendrick Martier, a merchant from Vlissingen, and Jacob de Sinito, a merchant from Middelburgh, to help recover their ship and cargo. The ship had been chased near Portugal by a privateer from Zeeland. The crew, thinking it was a Turkish pirate, fled in a small boat, abandoning the ship. The Zeeland privateer then captured the ship and brought it to Zeeland.

On October 9, 1656, Aaron Navarro, a Portuguese merchant in Amsterdam, appeared before the notary. He declared that he and his brother and business partner Moijse Navarro had traded goods in Brazil for their brother Isacq Navarro (also known as Jeronimo Nunes Navairs). Many debts remained unpaid, including 2,859 guilders and 7 stuivers owed by Samuel Montesinos. Aaron Navarro stated that all these debts belonged solely to Isacq Navarro, who had full rights to collect or sell them.

On October 10, 1656, notary Adriaen Lock met with Hendrick van Meiert, guardian of the children and heirs of Eduard Pitavin, at the request of Anthonij Martens. Philip Meijer was also mentioned as a co-guardian.

On October 26, 1655, Jan Jaspersz, a 34-year-old barge operator in Amsterdam, testified about receiving a bale of white Turkish yarn from the ship "The Gilded Sun" that had arrived from Livorno. The bale was damaged by rats at both ends and in the middle. The yarn was taken to Moses Rodrigues da Costa's warehouse, where they found 68 pounds of damaged yarn and 1,628 pounds of good yarn in Amsterdam weight.

Jacob Belmonte, 19 years old, and Isaac Navarro also testified that they had tried to collect the bale four or five times over three weeks. When they finally received it, they asked the ship's captain about the damage. He explained that they had rats on board and couldn't prevent it despite having four cats on the ship.

Later that day, Philips Weveringh, Adriaen Weveringh (Director of New Equipment), and Hendrick Weveringh (Secretary of Amsterdam), along with Isaac Hiermans, all children of Sophia and Magdalena van der Meer, appointed Gerrit de Boodere as their legal representative in The Hague to handle their case against Theodore Graswinckel.

On July 10, 1664, David Cardozo, living in Amsterdam, appeared before notary Adriaen Lock. He acted for himself and as testamentary guardian of his late brother Jean Cardozo's children. He appointed Jacob Colen Henriques, a merchant living in Barbados, to collect several debts from Isaeck na Parro (also known as Jeronimo Nunes Navarro), who also lived in Barbados:

• 320 guilders plus 20% interest, based on a bottomry bond from November 25, 1659
• 600 guilders owed according to a bond from November 16, 1659
• Payment for commission according to a document signed on November 13, 1659
• All other amounts owed according to existing documents

Henriques was authorized to issue receipts, appear in court if necessary, negotiate settlements, and handle all related matters, including appeals. He could also appoint substitutes and enter into agreements or submit disputes to arbitration as he saw fit. The document was witnessed by Jacobus Snel and Dirck van Groe.

On November 2, 1682, David Cardoso, a resident of Amsterdam, appeared before notary Adriaen Lock. He acted both for himself and as a testamentary guardian of his late brother Jean Cardoso's children. He appointed Mathias Beck, governor of Curaçao in the West Indies, as his representative to:

On July 2, 1666, three merchants living in Amsterdam signed a business contract. They were Raphael Gomes, Isaack Tunnes Navarro, and Jacob Benjamin Levi. They agreed to form a trading company for tobacco and other goods. The agreement included:

• The partnership would last 6 months, with the possibility of extension
• They could trade in all seventeen provinces
• Jacob Benjamin Levi would travel to sell goods where the others directed him
• Initial investments were:
  • Raphael Gomes: 3,000 guilders

  • Jacob Benjamin Levi: 200 guilders
• Profit sharing:
  • Jacob Benjamin Levi: 1/4 of total profits
  • Raphael Gomes: 2/3 of remaining 3/4
  • Isaack Tunnes Navarro: 1/3 of remaining 3/4
• Levi would get an extra 10% commission when trading in other cities
• Losses would be shared in the same proportion as profits
• Raphael Gomes would keep the books and handle all money

On April 19, 1667, they met again to formally sign this agreement, admitting they had neglected to do so earlier although they had been operating under these terms since July 1666. They agreed to continue the partnership until any member chose to leave, provided they gave notice.

On May 17, 1645, in Amsterdam, three separate legal documents were recorded by notary Dirck van der groe:

1. A protest of non-acceptance of a bill of exchange drawn in Hamburg on May 3, 1695, for 1,000 currency units. The bill was payable to Isaac Navarro and was directed to Joan Pels and sons. The bill was rejected due to lack of advice.
2. A similar protest involving a bill of exchange for the same amount, also drawn in Hamburg on May 3, 1695. This one was payable to Manuel Peirera, who endorsed it to Jacob Nunes Henriques. The bill was directed to Joan Bouwens and was rejected.
3. A shipping loan agreement where captain Andries Martens of the ship "Land's Welfare" borrowed 1,000 guilders from Daniel de Mont for a voyage from Amsterdam to Suriname and back. The captain agreed to repay the loan plus 40% interest within 14 days after returning to Amsterdam. The loan was secured by the cargo and the captain's wages.

The documents were witnessed by Mathijs Decker, Jeremias van Vliet, and Hendrick Selkaert.

On November 7, 1659, Portuguese merchant Jeronimo Nunes Navarro (also known as Isaack Navurre) appeared before notary Adriaen Lock in Amsterdam. Before leaving for Carasnu in the West Indies, he appointed his brother Jacob Navarro and Jacob de Pinto as his representatives. They were given power to:

• Handle all his business affairs
• Collect debts from his debtors
• Make and approve financial calculations
• Receive and sell his goods and merchandise
• Buy new goods with the proceeds
• Accept or protest bills of exchange
• Pay his debts

The document was witnessed by Dirck vander Groe and Manuel antonio de beecquen, and officially recorded by notary Lock.

On July 14, 1666, before the notary Adriaen Lock, two witnesses appeared: Isaack Nunes Navarro, about 30 years old, and Isaack Ramos, about 28 years old, both living in Amsterdam. They made a sworn statement at the request of Raphael Gomes, also a resident there.

They testified that on June 27, they witnessed Simon Francke selling two barrels of Virginia tobacco leaves to the requester. These barrels were stored in the attic of the house where Simon Francke lived in Oostzaan. The price was set at 6.5 stuivers per pound, to be paid in cash with a 1% discount for prompt payment.

The sale was made with the specific condition that the tobacco leaves at the bottom of the barrels would be of the same quality as those on top. The buyer couldn't inspect the bottom of the barrels at the time because of their location in the attic and the difficulty of moving them. Simon Francke promised to deliver the barrels to Amsterdam soon, where the buyer could inspect them fully. If the bottom contents weren't of the same quality as the top, the buyer would not be obligated to accept them.

On June 29, Simon Francke delivered the barrels to the buyer's house. When opened in the presence of the witnesses, Simon Francke, and his son, they discovered that the bottom of the barrels had been falsely packed and was partly rotten and damaged, not matching the quality of the tobacco on top.

The witnesses served as mediators in this transaction and certified their statement in the presence of Dirck vander Groe and Johannes Freurup.

On December 13, 1693, notary Joannes Boots, residing in Amsterdam, went to the leper house on Vloenburghwal at the request of Tobias Fresco. He went there because Hester Keijser, Fresco's wife, had died that day. The notary sealed the door of the office or upper room on two different places with white paper and coarse cloth, using red wax seals. He also sealed a painted cabinet and some shop goods from the front house in a white tall chest located in the upper room above the kitchen. This was done in the presence of the eldest son and daughter of Hester Keijser.

The document was signed in Amsterdam with Isaack Nunes Navarro and Abraham Messia as witnesses, who translated it into Portuguese for the requester. Various goods remained, including:

• Cloaks
• Oil
• Candles
• Currants
• Other shop goods and equipment
• Some household furniture in the front house
• Items in the basement kitchen

The document references an attached deed of Jeronimo Nunes dated December 14, 1641.
