"Jan Pietersen Scholl, who was attached to the household of the Prince of Orange between 1640-1649 and deceased circa 1652. In 1647 he was appointed forrester of Etten and de Leur with Nicolaes Henric Smyers. The last occasion on which his signature is found, is in 1649, in connection with Dirck Claesdr van Soelen, his brother-in-law. In 1652, Annetje Claesdr van Soelen, widow of Jan Pietersen Scholl, acknowledged house-debt rent to Cornelia Nies, widow of the General Carel Nies. The baptismal registers of the Grand Church, Hague, show several children of Jan Pietersen Scholl and his wife Annetje Claesdr as there baptized, and in 1634, Pieter Jansen Scholl, the propositus before mentioned."

"Jan Petersen Scholl had promoted to Steward by 1645, and references to him were found in the Dutch records, down to the year 1649. He was appointed to control parts of the Royal Estate, and large sums of money passed through his hands. In an undated document (probably circa 1639) at the Hague we find his petition for a reward for bringing the good news of the birth of a child to Her Highness. (Document at the Hague, States General No. 7403.) ...He married Ann Claesdr van Soelen, of a distinguished family, and must have died before 1652, for in that year we find her mentioned as a widow.
