Frans,

You have made an interesting discovery. Papendorp is one of the few
individuals for whom we have some papers. He was a merchant in Beverwyck and
one of the city's first aldermen. I don't know of any relationship between
Papendorp and Bancker. Perhaps Bancker was engaged in trade with the colony,
and considered a reliable person to be granted power-of-attorney. The only
possible family connection would be if Willem is somehow related to Evert
Bancker, who was mentioned in Papendorp's will and was married to Elisabeth
Croon, a niece of Papendorp's wife.

There are some 18 documents, correspondence of Papendorp and his wife
Jannetie Kroon relating to family affairs and business, in Dutch with
English translations; also legal papers and Kroon's will, 1693, at the
Albany Institute of History and Art, McKinney Library (125 Washington
Avenue, Albany, New York 12210). The translated material has been
published: A.J.F. van Laer, 'Some Early Dutch Manuscripts: Letters to
Adriaen Gerritsen Papendorp', Quarterly Journal of the New York State
Historical Association, v. 3, No. 4 (October 1922) 221-229.

Best wishes,
Peter

> Possibly interesting for some of you:
> In Utrecht (the Netherlands) I found in the Notarial Archive (notary F.
van Meerkerck) the following record, dated 3 Apr 1694:

> Harmijntje NAEGELS, widow of Harmen VAN WETTEN (in his life mandemaker
[basket-maker] in Utrecht) who gives attorney to her daughter Geertruijt VAN
WETTEN, married to Gijsbert VERHOEF (koeckenbakker [cake/biscuit baker,
confectioner] in Utrecht) to receive a legacy from her (Harmijntje's) cousin
Adrijaen Gerritss PAPENDORP, who died at Albany. The money is to be paid by
Henderick SYBIN and Willem BANCKER, merchants in Amsterdam. (the
Utrecht-heirs of Henricus SELIJNS receive their legacies also from Willem
BANCKER, as read in another record).

Papendorp and in the abstracts of wills of New York he is called Adrian
Gerrits Popendorf).

(possible) relation tot Willem BANCKER.
