1650- 3 deeds all with the same date?

Deed 2

Deed 3

Dear Anne,

No full transcription yet, but a very brief summary. First of all, please note that the order should be:

Deed 3 - a deed where Maertgen Pieters, daughter of the late Pieter Maertensz and the late Claesge Huygen, declared to have fully received from her stepfather Jan Harmensz van Dijsel the part of the inheritance she was entitled to according to the last will of her deceased parents; notable is that, according to the other deeds, this deed was composed by the notary at her request about midnight

Deed 1 - in this deed Maertgen Pieters states that she has been deceived by her stepfather Jan Harmensz van Dijsel regarding the inheritance part from her late parents and she therefore revokes Deed 3

Deed 2 - this is only a procedural deed that in which is stated that the notary will go to the house of Jan Harmensz van Dijsel and will announce the revocation to him or to a member of his family living there; the bottom part of this deed reports that this announcement has been made by the notary.

Intriguing documents, once we will have a full transcription of the texts (unfortunately lack of time to do that now), this will clarify what exactly has happened between Maertgen and her stepfather...

Oh my goodness Rene- what on earth is going on here?!

Many thanks for the initial summary as always which makes fascinating reading.

Meanwhile I'll try and work out how Maertgen Pieter's fits into the family tree of van Dijssel, as maybe that will help too.

I'll report back if I find any further information.

very best wishes

Anne

Dear Anne,

Had a closer look at Deed 1: the issue is that it appeared to Maertgen that she was entitled to a legal inheritance part far larger than the 100 guilders and goods she had received via her stepfather Jan Harmensz van Dijsel; if I read it correctly (but I must say I only had a glance on it), she discovered that she was entitled to as much as 6 times the inheritance she had received...

In the bottom part of Deed 2, the notary stated that he went to Jan Harmensz van Dijsel's home, but did not find him there. Instead, he delivered the message about the revocation of Deed 3 to Fijtgen Pieters, who was caretaker of Van Dijsel's home.
