Text: S. 599/600 "Anna van der Meulen, c. 1544–1546 to unknown
Severeign van de Corput, died December 1575...
As the oldest child of Jan and Elizabeth, Anna played an important role in maintaining unity within her sibling group. Anna married twice, and both of her husbands entered into trade companies with Elizabeth. In September 1573, at the age of about twenty-eight, Anna married Severijn de Corput, a merchant from Breda who had gained citizenship in Antwerp in 1572, when she would have been about twenty-years old. The couple moved to Antwerp and had a son, Hansken, in 1574. Severijn signed an agreement to enter into a company with his mother-in-law to begin in 1575, but he died before the commencement of the company."
