Commentary
Notes:
- Hendrick h. Gardenier — this is the son of Hendrick Gardenier, settling his deceased father’s accounts with Burger Huyck. The “h” likely stands for his father’s name as a patronymic — Hendrick Hendricksen Gardenier.
- This confirms the timeline — Hendrick Sr. was alive in the 1744-45 tax list but dead by August 1744 when Eghbert Ebberse’s smithing receipt names Margareta as his widow. Now in 1754 the son is formally closing his father’s accounts with Burger — ten years after his father’s death, suggesting the estate took considerable time to settle.
- “betaelt doer het boeck van meyn vaeder” — “paid through the book of my father” — meaning the settlement was made by reference to Hendrick Sr.‘s own account book, a touching detail suggesting the father’s records were carefully preserved.
- No signature beyond the name in the body of the text — unusually informal even by the standards of this archive.
