[the 1st comparant was involved in this a a doctor, the second comparant had been attending this death)

as it seems: the inheritance of the father was processed without problems; however the inheritance of their mother led to procedures with the councilmen, and came to its end only in 1738, after an agreement between the two brothers and the executo rs of the will of the late Moses Isaac de Jong/Rintel (norary v.d.Brink 23 May 1738 10309/274 and 10311/428). It seems, that the statement about the demise of Ansel of 1737 was a necessity for this agreement. (in the agreement he is named Abraham) .
In act 274 it is also mentioned that their mother married Mozes Isaac de Jong 'in the Jewish way, but not according to the laws of this country' (date of contract by Jewish marriage: 9 Feb 1724)
