Jacob of Wormer (d. 1549)
Jacob of Wormer, Dutch province of North Holland, an Anabaptist martyr, who according to van Braght, <em>Martyrs' Mirror</em>, was burned at the stake at Amsterdam in 1542, together with his wife Seli. They are obviously identical with Jacob Claesz of Landsmeer and his wife Cecilia Jeronymusdochter, both executed at Amsterdam in 1549. Van Braght himself suggests this identity.
