Burgerhuys bells
« on: Wednesday 15 December 10 00:41 GMT (UK) »
Rick Heiser and myself researching Clazie from the Hutton area now stumbled upon an entry where a Jon clazie transported a bell to Hutton and was allowed payment of a beer at his destination in 1650s.  It seems there are a number of bells cast from the Burgerhuys foundry in Zeeland in Scotland.  We are looking for the origin of the name, Clazie, clazey and wonder if they came from Holland originally...there are some in berwick upon tweed in the 1670s but this is the erliest we now have for the name in Hutton.  My questions would be:  where would the bells, cannons made by the foundry have ben unloaded....harbor? Would a representative of the company delivered them?  Burgerhuys supplied cannons to the Dutch East India Company...bells to scotland as erly as 1602.  Are there trade records...
