In the same year four annuities, previously paid by the city to a stranger, began to be paid to Aletta, the aged widow of Lodowick <6>, mother of Gysbert <7>, and grand-mother of Lodowick <8>. They were probably bought for her on the settlement of her husband's estate, with the proceeds of a part of his property.
