Life
Jan Trip van Berkenrode came from the Trip family and was born in the Trippenhuis as the son of Jacobus Trip (1627–1670) and Margartha Munter (1639–1711) . After his studies at the University of Leiden , which he graduated in 1685, he came two years later as commissioner in the government of his hometown Amsterdam. His first appointment as governing mayor took place in 1707. Jan Trip van Berkenrode held this position twelve (or 14) times until 1731. In his final year as regent, he also ran the Suriname Law Firm . Together with Anthonie Heinsius , the councilor of the republic, Trip negotiated peace with France in 1710 .
Jan Trip van Berkenrode ruled the city in the 1720s with a claim to power similar to that of the great rulers of the Golden Age before him . In 1727 the state -minded Simon van Slingelandt was stripped of his office as a council pensioner, and the Orange -minded Willem Buys was his successor. Slingelandt was politically like-minded and confidante of Jan Trip van Berckenrode and Mattheus Lestevenon (senior) . Lestevenon's son Mattheus Lestevenon was one of Trip van Berckenrode's grandchildren and inherited the noble title of Heer van Berckenrode .
Trip van Berkenrode was married to Margaretha Cecilia Nijs (1690), after whose death he married Elisabeth Thiellens in 1713 , from whom he inherited the noble title of Heer van Berckenrode . From his first marriage he had Jan Trip (* 1691) - called De Jonge - as a son. He married Petronella van Hoorn , daughter of Joan van Hoorn , the governor general of the Dutch East Indies . Trip, the secretary and commissioner of Amsterdam, bought the Beeckestijn estate near Velsen from his father in 1716 .
