February 4, 1630.
—The Honorable Tomas Swartwolt of Groningen in Lamhuinge Street, and the virtuous maiden Aerijaentijen Sijmens of Amsterdam; the publication was allowed here inasmuch as it must also be proclaimed there, as the attestation hereof shows.

old, a tobacco merchant, residing on the Kcyscrsgracht, and Ariaentje Sijmons of Amsterdam, twenty-two years old, assisted by her father, Sijmon Sijmons, and by her mother, Catryna Grcbbers, residing on the Prinsengracht, seeking the crying out of their banns on three Sundays in order to obtain the solemnization of the aforesaid marriage, and to have it wholly consummated, so far as otherwise before granted, changed, hindered, and interpreted. And for that they truly declare that they are free persons and together in extraction.
—Nothing existing where a Christian marriage should be prevented, they
here proffer their compliance.

Notes |
Tomys Swartwout was one of the earliest importers of tobacco from New Netherland to Western and northern Europe, one of earliest settlers of New Netherland (present day United States), and a founder of Midwood (originally Midwout), Brooklyn, New York. He started a wholesale tobacco business in Amsterdam, joining his older brothers Wybrant and Herman, in 1629.
Swartwout and family left Amsterdam for New Netherland in March 1652. Swartwout, Jan Snedeker and Jan Stryker solicited from Director-General Peter Stuyvesant the right to settle together on the level reach of wild land (de vlacke bosch) or flat bush, adjacent to the outlying farms at Breukelen and Amersfoort. Through Swartwout's suggestion, the settlement was given the name of the village of Midwout. In April 1655, Stuyvesant and the Council of New Netherland appointed Swartwout a schepen (magistrate), to serve with Snedeker and Adriaen Hegeman as the Court of Midwout. Being one of the original settlers, Tomys Swartwout was granted letters-patent by the Council of New Netherland, Director-General Stuyvesant, and the Dutch West India Company of 116 acres on April 13, 1655.
