Moninckx Family
The Moninckx family had a long tradition of painting and were researched in a book titled De Schildersfamilie Moninckx, published by Abraham Bredius in 1889. Well-known was Gijsbert Moninckx, a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in The Hague in 1605.
Jan's parents were Johannes Moninckx, a clergyman at Leende, Noord-Brabant, and his wife, Maria Jan van Duysel. On 23 May 1682 Jan signed a betrothal register in Amsterdam, stating his intention to marry Anna Geestevelt. Anna was 23 years old and both lived at Het Singel in Amsterdam. In 1686 Jan was lieutenant in a military guard.
In 1698 Jan signed a notarial document authorising the sale of a house at Voorburg that had belonged to his deceased father-in-law. At that time he lived in Leydsedwarsstraat in Amsterdam and was married to Adriaentje Uchtenbroeck, whose father had been Pieter Jans Uchtenbroeck. Jan was buried on 20 May 1714 and had died at his house in Noorderdwarsstraat near the Prinsengracht. Adriaentje was buried on 27 January 1722.
