SirAge Pieters Wijnalda[1] (Dokkum, 17 October 1712 –Haarlem, 19 October 1792) was a DutchMennonite teacher, minister[2] and one of the first members ofTeylers Eerste Genootschap (Teylers First or Theological Society) from 1778 until his death. He was the founder of the "Doopsgezinde Schaar" (a Mennonite institution).[3] He had at least one son, named IJnze Wijnalda.[1]
Age Wijnalda was the second son of Pieter Harmens and was knighted by and received a crest from the King of Great Britain[4] for services to the crown – presumably for bravery in battle, since there is a helm on his coat of arms.[5] He was trained at the Remonstrant seminary of Amsterdam and first served inEmden (1733–1736) before moving to Haarlem.[6]
