- Merchant of Amsterdam

See The claime of Marcello Vander Goos and Phillip van hulten in the Hare in the ffeild[1]

Charles Gabrij, merchant of Amsterdam, deposed in February 1656 that "hee well knoweth the producent Philip van Hulten and hath soe donne from the time of his birth of the said Phillip who was borne at Amsterdam and hath dwelt there all this time (saving when hee was abroad upon occasion of studies and travail) and that the said Phillip was and is an inhabitant and free man of the said citie of Amsterdam, dwelling there on the Lady Gracht and a subject of the Lords the States of the United Netherlands and for such commonly accompted and reputed, and was and is a merchant of good accompt, which hee knoweth because hee this deponent is alsoe a ffreeman of and dweller of Amsterdam and hath soe bin for these thirtie yeares last or thereabouts, and there well knew and was acquainted with the said producent and further and hath alsoe good acquaintance with the said producent himselfe."[2]

Abraham de Bald, merchant of London, deposed in February 1656 that "hee well knoweth the producent Phillip van Hulten and hee hath donne for these five yeares last or thereabouts this deponent for all that time and (untill about eleavene moneths since hee came to live in London) dwelling in Amsterdam where he was borne and where he had acquaintance and dealing with the said Phillip in the way of merchandize, and saith the said Phillip then dwelt (and as hee believeth still dwelleth) on the Lady Gracht in Amsterdam, in the house where his father (whom this deponent alsoe well knowe dwelt before hin, and further that for said producent was and is a merchant of good account and an inhabitant and free citizen of Amsterdam (where this deponent beleeveth hee was borne) and a subject of the Lords the States of the United Netherlands, and for such commonly accompted"[3]

See claims of various people for goods on the Saint Mary alias Santa Maria (March 1659)

- "the arlate Phillip van hulten (whom hee well knoweth) is commonly reputed the freighter of the said shipp, and to have taken her for the voyage arlate to freight of and from the said master"[4]

- Robert Demetrius deposed in July 1659 touching goods in the Santa Maria, saying "the last past master James Stanier of London merchant (with home this Deponent liveth in the quality of booke keeper) did reeive letter from Mr Phillip Van hulten of Amsterdam Merchants, wherein the said Phillip Van Hulten adviseth the said Mr Stanier, that hee hath given order to his ffreinds at Marsellis for the ffreighting of a ship, to take on board all the goods that are or shalbe unladen out of the ship the Santa Maria at Tollon and to bring the same to Amsterdam, but by the way to touch at Cadiz in Spaine, there to dispose of a parcell of Cacoa part of the said Lading, And this Deponent this Day hath seene and perused the said Letter, which Letter beareth Date 25th July 1659: new stile"[5]

Dutch Wikipedia entry: Philip Van Hulten (1627-1692)

Extract: "Philip van Hulten of Philipo van Hulten (1627-1692) was een koopman en een van de eerste directeuren van de Sociëteit van Suriname, actief vanaf 1680 tot 1689. Hij is aangezocht door Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijk mogelijk om de belangen te behartigen met het katholieke Spanje.

In 1683 richtte Van Hulten samen met Jacob Boreel, Joan Huydecoper van Maarsseveen (1625-1704), Gillis Sautijn en Willem Sautijn een compagnie van negotie en handel op, die een of meer suikermolens en een plantage zou inrichtine in Suriname. Van Aerssen zou in Suriname hun belangen behartigen. Van Hulten kwam in opspraak bij de verzending van ossen uit Ierland naar Suriname, verboden particuliere handel.

Over zijn benoeming was in 1686 veel te doen, omdat hij katholiek was en de Zeeuwen tegen "papen" waren. Waarschijnlijk is dat er in 1685 een toezegging is gedaan aan de Spaanse kroon voor het verkrijgen van het Asiento, dat er katholieke geestelijken zouden worden uitgezonden naar de plantages. Toen de twee priesters ziek werden en stierven zijn hun kisten naar de Staten van Zeeland retour gestuurd, die de merkwaardige zending weigerde. Van Hulten kreeg de opdracht de kisten terug te sturen naar Suriname.

Op 12 december 1689 werd Van Hulten niet toegelaten tot de vergadering van de Sociëteit. Het duurde tot 1696 voor de familie Van Aerssen weer een aantal directeuren kon aanstellen, waaronder Hermannus Amya en George Clifford.

Van Hulten woonde in Amsterdam op de Keizersgracht 268, genaamd de Gouden Ketting, een pand dat in 1998 bij een verbouwing is ingestort."
