Property in Delft owned by members

the Hogenhouck family

Oude Delft 157 (behind 161)	Jan Pieters Hogenhouck (-1651) got it by decree from Dirck Jacobs van Houten in 1634. He paid the 1585-1648 huizenprotocol OAD inv. 731 fol. 264r1d and the 1620-1632 verponding 475r3. Jan Pieters Hogenhouck, Pieter Jans Hogenhouck, and Pieter Molijn, deurwaerder, are all listed as paying the 1632-1654 verponding 485r1, 485r2. Jan Pieters sold it to Pieter Molijn 4d127v for 2650gl. His widow sold it in 1663 to Maerten Abrahams Hogenhouck (1617-1673) 4n239v 2225gl. Hugo d'Gravesande (x Margareta Maertens Hogenhouck) had it later. See Achter de Gevels, which notes (my translation): In 1663 the house was the property of the brewer Maerten Hogenhouck. He paid 6000 guilders for it. He later bought two small houses on the former cloister grounds behind it. In 1673 his daughter Margaretha inherited the house. She was married to Huge 's Gravesande. They did not live there because in 1674 Cornelis Bogaert seemed to be the main resident. Hugo was a brewer at De Dubbele...
Oude Delft 26	Cornelis Maertens Hogenhouck (-1656) paid the 1620-1632 verponding 455r3 and the 1632-1654 verponding 466r2. The entry references E0537 now Koornmarkt 41a - “see folio 935”. The back end of E0541 is close enough to the back end of E0538 now Koornmarkt 41 that the gardens may have been connected in the 1600's. The progression of owners and sales letters was the same for all three properties: Hogenhouck, de Bock/van Leeuwen, Keiser, Overschie.
Oude Delft 47	Abraham Maertens Hogenhouck (1580-1641) paid the 1585-1648 huizenprotocol OAD inv. 731 fol. 286r2 after 285zv. The house is on the Monumentnummer list.
Oude Delft 73	Maria Maertens Hogenhouck (1648-1720) and husband Anthony Wevering got this property when he was mayor in a scheiding from the Beresteijn family. Notary Pieter Coel. They gave it to their daughter, Sophia, widow of Johan Adriaan Theirens, in 1719. See Achter de Gevels.
Sint Sebastiaansbrug	E0664 was a large prop, and the other two were very small buildings on it; ownership history the same. Maerten Abrahams Hogenhouck (1617-1673) gave it to his son Abraham Maertens "his son by scheiding among the joint beneficiaries on 1675 11/04 according to the authentic extract of 1677 07/03 by notary van de Velde."
Trumpetstraat 80	Jacob Maertens Hogenhouck (-1638) or Jacob Cornelis Hogenhouck (-1665)?
Verwersdijk 128	Pieter Abrahams Hogenhouck (-1679) owned this probably as an investment and rented it out because his main residence was E0542bis now Koornmarkt 43.
Voorstraat 42	Pieter Abrahams Hogenhouck (-1679), brewer, is listed on the 1585-1648 huizenprotocol OAD inv. 731 fol. 163V1 sale letter 3W188 and the 1632-1654 verponding 041r4
Wateringsevest 24	Pieter Abrahams Hogenhouck (-1679) owned this probably as an investment and rented it out because his main residence was E0542bis now Koornmarkt 43.
Westplantsoen 2	Maerten Jans Hogenhouck (1550-1613) bought it from the brother of his nephew's wife. That is, seller Joost's sister Neeltje Jacobs van Adrichem was married to Pieter Sebastians van den Berch who was the son of Sebastian Cornelis van den Berch and Neeltje Jans Hogenhouck, sister of buyer Maerten Jans Hogenhouck. The property was a couple hundred meters along the Buitenwatersloot, beyond the edge of development even in 1832, about 150 meters beyond A0129-0131.
