• Notes

  Original anecdotes of Peter the Great, collected from the conversation of several persons of distinction at Petersburg and Moscow By Jakob von Staehlin, 1788, Page 417. Cruys (John), by birth a Dutchman, merchant in Petersburgh. He had the rank of captain in the service of Holland, and was son of the celebrated Vice-admiral Cornelius Cruys. Peter the Great, judging him worthy of his confidence, visited him frequently, and employed him, always with advantage, in the works carried on in the dock yard, and in his military expeditions by sea. This valuable officer died in 1751. https://books.google.com/books?id=n8sGAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA417&lpg=PA417&dq=cornelius+cruys+death&source=bl&ots=kcoo3OvQDK&sig=crtGwg2dCyawVk7RMS3fahB4rmI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1utSw1qvaAhWB7oMKHRvDBbcQ6AEIpwEwGw#v=onepage&q=cornelius%20cruys%20death&f=false
