  • Sir Age Pieters Wijnalda (Dokkum, 17 October 1712 - Haarlem, 19 October 1792) was a Dutch Mennonite teacher, minister and one of the first members of Teylers Eerste Genootschap (Teylers First or Theological Society) from 1778 until his death.
  • He was the founder of the "Doopsgezinde Schaar" (a Mennonite institution).
  • He had one son we know of, IJnze Wijnalda.Age Wijnalda was the second son of Pieter Harmens and was knighted by and received a crest from the King of Great Britain for services to the crown - presumably for bravery in battle, since there is a helm on his coat of arms.
