Sir Peter Vanlore (d.1627)'s Dutch ancestry

Legg inn av Tony Hoskins » 10 aug 2007 01:40:34

I'm researching descendants of Sir Peter Vanlore (c.1547-1627) and
wonder if anyone (especially Leo) might have information of use in
tracing Sir Peter's antecedents in the Netherlands. Excerpts from his
bio in _ODNB_:

"Vanlore, Sir Peter [formerly Pieter van Loor] (c.1547-1627), merchant
and moneylender, was born in Utrecht in the Netherlands, the third son
of Maurice van Loor and his wife, Stephania. He arrived in England about
1568. Before 19 July 1585, when he was living in the parish of St Benet
Sherehog, he had married Jacoba or Jacomina, daughter of Henry
Teighbott.

In the event, Vanlore remained in England until his death on 6
September 1627. His will of 29 June that year reveals strong ties both
to his native community and to the establishment of his adopted country.
Sir Paul Bayning was an overseer and Lord Keeper Sir Thomas Coventry
among special friends singled out; the Dutch church, his local parish,
and Christ's Hospital all received legacies. This bifurcation was
repeated in his children's marriages: those of Peter (bap. 1586) to
Susanna Becke of Antwerp and of Elizabeth to Hans van den Bernden; those
of Jacquemine (bap. 1587, d. 1606) to Johannes De Laet, newly arrived
immigrant, and of Anne to Sir Charles Caesar, master of chancery and
third generation immigrant; and those of Mary to Sir Edward Powell,
eventually master of requests, and Catherine to Sir Thomas Glemham.
Vanlore left each of his grandchildren £1000, but it is unclear to what
extent his estate was ever fully reimbursed for his loans: in July 1628
his widow, Jacoba, and her son-in-law Powell were still seeking £13,000
due from the crown. Peter the younger obtained a baronetcy on 6
September that year, but the estates so spectacularly built up were
dispersed when he died in 1645 leaving three daughters."
