Notities over Nicolaes Gijsbertzoon de Veer

This branch of the family was the most socially prominent one in Amsterdam in the seventeenth and first half of the eighteenth centuries. Nicolaes’ descendants belonged to a small circle of very wealthy Mennonite merchant families, all closely related through marriage. The male line of this branch ended around 1750, discontinuing the de Veer name among Nicolaes’ descendants.

Nicolaes was born in March 1583, probably in Amsterdam, and died there on 8 September 1646. He married Margaretha Loten in Amsterdam on 23 August 1603. She was the daughter of Dirck Nicolaesz Loten and his unidentified wife, the daughter of a van Assenborgh. Dirck was a brewer, merchant, and mayor in Aardenburg. A Mennonite, Dirck fled Aardenburg for Leiden to avoid religious persecution. [ed.Aardenburg is a city 100 miles southwest of Amsterdam near the Belgian border. Leiden is 20 miles southwest of Amsterdam.] Margaretha Loten died in Amsterdam on 5 November 1611. Nicolaes marriedagain in Amsterdam on 3 March 1612 to Anna Jacobsdr Kotermans, born in Dordrecht. [ed. Dordrecht is 40 miles south of Amsterdam.]

Nicolaes was a very wealthy merchant and Baltic trader as well as a teacher in the Mennonite congregation in Amsterdam. In 1608 he bought a house within Amsterdam, but until at least 1612 he lived in a house he had built on the Oude Schans on the Waal. [ed. The Oudeschans is in the eastern part of Amsterdam; I infer that when Nicolaes lived there it was essentially a suburban locale in relation to the very center of Amsterdam.] In August 1619 he purchased a country estate called "Rustenburgh", overlooking the Amstel River. [ed. It is difficult to know where this was located.] On 10 June 1623, his father-in-law, Dirck Loten, died in Leiden and left Nicolaes a tremendous inheritance. In 1626 he traveled to Frederickstadt in the region of Holstein in Denmark, where a Dutch colony had been founded in 1623 by emigrating Remonstrants. [ed. In 1621 Duke Friedrich III, son of Duke Johann Adolf of Holstein-Gottorp and Princess Augusta of Denmark, convinced Dutch Mennonites and Remonstrants to invest in the area in exchange for religious freedom. Presumably Nicolaes was an investor.] By 1628 he had returned to Amsterdam. In 1646 he became ill while at his country estate and was taken back to his house in Amsterdam, where he died.
