Biography

Andries (Andre) was born in 1554 Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium. Andries Melyn passed away in 1606.
On 6 March, 1606, while confined to his bed with illness, he called to him to the house which he inhabited in the Fosse-du-Bourg [Fl. Borcht Gracht] his neighbor, the notary Franchoys Ketgen and dictated to him his last will and testament. He chose his sepulchre in the Church of the Convent of the Dominicans at Antwerp. He left all his property to his living children, namely:

1. Lambert
2. Abraham
3. Jacques
4. Eustache
5. Pierrine
6. Marie Melyn

issue of his first marriage, and to :

1. Jean
2. Corneille
3. Susanne Melyn

his children by his second marriage. To his widow he left the usufruct of his property, and expressed the desire that the dividing of his estate should not take place until the youngest of his children should have reached the age of twenty years. He named as executors of his will his wife Marie Ghuedinx-Botens, Jean Wils, tailor, and Corneille Lobyn, lumber dealer.

Andre Melyn died at his house in the Rue des Sauciers, [FL Saucier Straat] 1 Antwerp, on 9 November, 1606. He had therefore changed his residence since he executed his will on 6 March, 1606. On the same day on which Andre Melyn died (9 November, 1606) the notary Franchoys Ketgen proceeded to take the inventory of the estate, and continued it on the 13th of November following. On this latter date, the guardians of the minor children took their oath as such before the Orphan Masters.

These guardians were: Jacques Melyn, tailor, paternal uncle, and Eustache van Westvoort, broker, maternal uncle of the children by the first marriage; and the same Jacques Melyn, paternal uncle, and Hans Salomons, cooper, maternal cousin, of the children by the second marriage. The Orphan Masters, four in number, of whom two were chosen from the Aldermen of the City, constituted a board or council which had for its purpose the examination of the accounts of the management of the property belonging to those not of age. These guardians made oath before them, and were obliged to present, at least once every two years, a detailed account, with supporting papers, of all expenditures and receipts made for and in the name of the minors.
