Presented will after wife Barbara's death
Presented the will of 1662 to the Weeskamer after wife Barbara's death in July 1666. Because they had a minor daughter, Maria, Leeuwenhoek was required to report to the Weeskamer (orphan's chamber) how Maria would be provided for now that her mother was dead and if her father died, too.
