We had great difficulty in finding information on Arent Issacsz van
Hoeck, but we eventually succeeded. It appears he was living for some
time in Amsterdam. He married 1st in Amsterdam (banns published 30
March1652) to Sara van de Cliet (or van de Clid) baptized in Amsterdam 1 May
1629 a daughter of Pieter van de Cliet and Maritje Matthijsdr and
married 2nd time in Amsterdam (banns published 29 Jan. 1655 to Geertje Everts,
the wife you were referring to in your letters.

Geertje (or officially : Geertruyt) Everts (a patronymical name) was baptized in Amsterdam 19
Jan.1631. She was a daughter of Evert Claesz and Ariaantje Reyners. It
turned out Arent, a shoemaker's helper, didn't come from Hoeck in the province
of Zeeland as was supposed up till now but hailed from Hooksiel in the
former county of Oldenburg, Germany. According to the banns publication in
1652, Arent was born there approx. 1623 and on Jan. 19th 1652 Arent (from
"Hookseil") was admitted as a citizen of Amsterdam.
