Notes for this person

Evenals zijn vader, linnenfabrikanten en liet ook, behalve in de weverij achter het huis, ook door huisweversin en buiten de stad linnens, voornamelijk pellen, weven. Na het herstel van ons onafhankelijk volksbestaan in 1815 begon hij tevens een exporthandel op Engeland van Drentsch vee, welke handel weldra een grooten omvang kreeg en eerst in beteenkenis verminderde, toen de Engelschen op verschillende wijen den invoer van uit Nederland trachtten te bemoelijken. Like his father he was a linen maker and "liet" too , as well as material made in the weaving mill behind the family home , too through other home-weavers and and outside the city linens , principally "pellen", weave. About the time of the Dutch independence in 1815, he began export trade with England with Drentsch goods. The traffic soon became of major proportions and then the significance reduced, when the English created variious trade barriers.
