Principaelste Luijden
Foremost Citizens.
The 18 months war with France (1662-1674) had a devastating effect on Holland and its people. It took some 10 years before investments slowly started a new economy.
The need for monetary infusions were great. The Nederbetuwe was goverend from the "Quartier Nijmegen". The Amtman there issued directives to the relevant towns to tax its citizens. A "Familiegelt" tax.
Some abstracts follow below. The complete report can be read here.
Directive:
Den 30 Martij 1693 door den Wel Geb. Heere Amptman, Rigter ende Dijckgreef des Ampts Nederbetuwe is aen den Scholtus Hillebrant Utenweerde ende de Buermeesters tot Maurik aengeschreven sijnde om een pertenente cedulle binnen den tijt van Agt dagen a dato deses over te leveren, wat voor parsonen in desselfs Dorp wonen ende wat bedrijf die selve sijn hebbende, volgt dan dese.
Response from Maurik:
Dit sijn de principaelste van de halve ploegen (these are the foremost of half ploughs):
- Beernt Henriksz. Osenbrugge and his brother-in-law:
- Geurt Phieren Udo.
N.B. he is listed under the Rijswijk response as #6 with a "Heele Ploeg"
and Gijsbert Hendricksz. (v. Osenbrugge) with a "Halve Ploegh".
Response from the Lower Betuwe towns on a later request:
Memorij van de prinsepaelste luijden van vermogen

The money is expressed as: gulden-stuivers-penningen (guilders-dimes-pennies).
