Buitenwatersloot 121

Pieter Maartens Leeuwenhoek's (1693-1750) grandmother Adriaentgen Cornelis van Spaendonck (1628-1688) lived with Pieter's great great-grandfather Gerrit Adriaans van der Made (whose father was on the Veertigraad in 1566) on the Buitenwatersloot. Gerrit Ariens sold it to Adriaen Gerrits Middelburch, who bequeathed it to Pieter Gillis Corput, who sold it to Johannes Everts and Claes Gerrits van den Berch (same sale letter). Next, it went to Corstiaen van der Hoeve (in the sale letter seller was not Claes Gerrits van den Berch) then Jan van Til, who sold it back into the family to Pieter Leeuwenhoek. Historisch GIS indicates that Pieter Poot had it well before 1740, but the Burg geneology has Anthonij Pieters Leeuwenhoek living here in 1768; he may have rented it.
