Having studied theology at the University of Leiden Johannes Visscher, AKA Visscherus (c1617-1694), was pastor at Wijdenes and Oosterleek in 1639,1 in 1649 at Boven-Karspel, in 1654 at Zutphen, and in 1662 at Amsterdam, where he died in 1694. Johannes was the son of Isaak Visscher and Anna Ouseels. He married Agneta van Peenen at Leiden in 1641, a record of which gives that both he and his bride were born at Leiden.2 There are also two Leiden notary documents from 1641 for Joannes de Visscher that seem to pertain to the marriage, as they name several of his in-laws. In Amsterdam in 1682, Johannes married Anna Lantsman. 3
