1) Andries Philip Cohen, died before 15 Nov 1762 Nijkerk?, In a notarial act before Notary Zweerts in Amsterdam, listing heirs of Ester Italiaander, Rachel Meijers is the widow of Andries Philip Cohen.
Just named Andries Cohen at marriage, without patronym. D.E. Cohen, in his history of the Cohen family, mentions him as son of Philip Ezechiel, but gives no details. It is likely enough though, being named after a grandfather, and naming his so n Ezechiel after his own grandfather. Both Andries and Emanuel married in 1739, they both lived in the Rapenburgerstraat. A marriage in Nijkerk, important in the tobacco culture and trade, fits in with this family. He may have worked with his unc le Isaac.
