The End of the Firm
Abstract
On July 20, 1780, Philis Hachmeester appeared before notary Engelbertus Marinus Dorper (1745–1809). Her husband Coenraad had passed away on September 27, 1779, causing the management of the ‘company engaged in trade under the names of Jochem Matthijs and Coenraad Smitt’ to lapse. 1 Smitt and Hachmeester had three children: Sophia Catharina Smitt (1752–1815), Joan Wilhelm Smitt (1754–1832), and Elisabeth Christina Smitt (1755–1832). 2
