Generation III

 

From Teachers to Gold and Silver Smiths.

 

Picture of Zeeland

 

Not too long after the death of his father in 1669, Cornelis Bodding / Boddingius moved to Goes, a city centrally located on the peninsula Zuid Beveland, in the province of Zeeland, in the southwestern part of Holland, where in 1672 he was a teacher at the Latin school.

 

The city and its surrounding villages would become the place of birth and residence of many generations of the Boddingius and Bodingius families and the spouses they married, until well into the 1900's.

 

As mentioned earlier, Cornelis Boddingius followed in the footsteps of his father and became a school teacher.

However, his son Adriaan Boddingius became a silversmith and was the first of five generations of gold and silver smiths living and practicing in Goes.

As a result, the Boddingius family became one of the prominent and wealthy families of this city during the 18th and early 19th century.

Zeeland is a  province which mainly consists of islands, peninsulas and water. The map above shows Zeeland around the 18th century and the location of Goes.

He followed in the footsteps of his father and in 1672, at age 20, he was a praeceptor (teacher) at the Latin school in Goes. Later on he became the conrector (vice-principal), which position he held at the time of his death.

On 17 March 1804, a few months after this purchase, Leendert van Wijngaarden passed away and on 7 June 1805, a little over year after his death, Apollonia Boddingius, sold the property, which also included an apothecary store and surgical instruments, to Dirk Christiaan Stoets from Nieuwveen, for fl. 625.

 

On 4 December 1807, the house in Oudewater (U) where the family van Wijngaarden-Boddingius lived, was sold for fl. 1700 to Arnoldus van den Berg. The act recording this sale reads:

"Mejuffrouw Appolonia Bendensius, weduwe van wijlen de heer Leendert van Wijngaarden, verkoopt haar huis en erve aan de Hallebrugge, belent ten zuiden Pieter van Veen, ten noorden Jacomina Leenman."

 

Sometime during 1808 or 1809, Apollonia Boddingius and her only surviving daughter, Sophia Van Wijngaarden, who was 17 years at that time, moved to Montfoort (U), where on 28 June 1809 their attests of indemnity, issued by the city of Oudewater (U), were recorded in the records.

 

Apollonia lived at Hoogstraat 176 in Montfoort (U) when she bought the house with number 230 in the Hoogstraat on 28 December 1814 from Johannes Volkers. The new property was described as follows:

"Staande en geleegen binnen deeze stad op de Hoogstraat, strekkende voor uit de halve straat tot achter aan de erve en huizinge van de heer Gerardus Monincx, belend ten oosten de heer Joan Frederik Gobius Hz. en ten westen de gemelde heer Gerardus Monincx, ofte wie anders daar naast gehuist en geerft mogen zijn."

Coat of Arms city of GoesMarcus BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Cornelia RIJDER.

He was born 1 February 1776 and christened 14 February 1776, both in Goes. His christening was witnessed by Foort Rijder and Cornelia van Weerde. He was named after his paternal grandfather Marcus Boddingius. He died 4 July 1859 in Goes at age 83.

He married 3 November 1796 in Goes at age 20, with marriage banns first published in Goes on 14 October 1796:

Pieternella HARINCK, child of Hubertus HARINCK and Elisabeth WAWELAAR.

She was born 20 October 1774 and christened 23 October 1774, both in Goes and died 3 August 1845 in Goes at age 70, age 22 at time of marriage.

Their publishing of the banns ceremony (ondertrouw) was performed in a closed consistory and the marriage ceremony was performed in a closed church.

In 1798 she paid 17 shilling (£0-17-0) for a seat the "Grote Kerk" in Goes.

In 1815, they were living in the house in ward C with number 57, in Goes.

They had the following children:

  1. Cornelia Adriana BODDINGIUS, was born 25 August 1797 in Goes and died 7 February 1849 in Goes at age 51.

  2. Elisabeth Maria BODDINGIUS, was born 2 April 1800 in Goes and died 6 August 1873 in Utrecht (U) at age 73.

Her christening was witnessed by the brother of her paternal grandfather, Daniel Boddingius, after whom she was named and his wife Judith Amijs. She was buried 30 November 1807 in Goes, one month before her second birthday. At the time of her death, she was living in the house with number C55.
  6. Catherina Cornelia BODDINGIUS, born 25 May 1807 in Goes, christened 17 June 1807 in Goes. Her christening was witnessed by her uncle Cornelis Harinck Hzn. (Hubertus zoon) and his wife Catharina Rapholm, after both of whom she was named.  She was buried 5 August 1807 in Goes, just eleven weeks old. At the time of her death, she was living in the house with number C55.

 

Marcus Boddingius followed in the footsteps of his ancestors and became the fourth generation of Boddingius' working as a gold or silversmith. Apparently he already started as an apprentice at a young age, because according to the records, on 1 May 1789, when he was only 13 years old, he was a student under his father Adriaan Boddingius and on 25 October 1796, at age 20, he was accepted by the guild as a gold and silversmith.

He also was an ensign (Vaandrig) in the Army and in the year 1796 he was billed 8 shilling and 8 pence (£0-8-8) for a seat in the church in Goes, in the section reserved for officers of the War Council, named the Krijgsraad Banken. Although there is no record for the actual payment of this amount, the following year (1797), he actually did pay 8 shilling and 10 pence (£0-8-10) for this seat.

 

He was a member of the guild for gold and silversmiths in 1795 and 1797 and was a teacher himself. One of the students who studied under him to become a silversmith was Samuel Puts, who is listed as a student on 12 October 1797.

As a Master gold and silver cashier (kashouder), on 26 June 1807, he took the oath for quality inspector (keurmeester) of gold and silver for the city of Goes. His Master symbols were "MB" in a rectangle, just "MB" and "MB" with four dots.

 

In October 1797, Marcus Boddingius and his wife Pieternella Harinck, with whom he married a year earlier, were living in the house with number C55 on the west side of the Korte Vos and the Papegaaistraat in Goes. Their six children were all born there and in 1807 they were still living there. In 1826 they were living in the houses with numbers C56 and C57, where they continued to live until about 1836.

 

On 1 February 1833, they purchased the house with number C241, located in the Lange Vosstraat, from Jacobus Adrianus du Moulin, a surgeon (chirurgijn) in Goes at that time. They however continued to live where they were and sometime around 1836, their son Adriaan Boddingius moved into the house C241.

The house is described as "een woonhuis, zomerhuis en erve met een inhouds grootte van twee roeden en 26 ellen".

 

In 1836, they moved to the house with number C72, located on the north side of the Papegaaistraat and ending at the west side of the Korte Vosstraat, further described as "een woonhuis met erf met een inhouds grootte van ene roede en 27 ellen en een pakhuisje met een inhouds grootte van ongeveer 40 ellen".

In 1839 Marcus Boddingius and his wife Pieternella Harinck, swapped homes with their son Adriaan and moved into the house C241, which they had purchased in 1833 and their son Adriaan had been living in with his family since 1836. Adriaan moved to the house C72, vacated by his parents.

This move was probably related to the retirement of Marcus Boddingius' as a gold and silversmith, because his business was liquidated, and his Master seals destroyed, a few months later on 20 March 1840. It appears that the house C72 may have included a storefront (winkelraam) and may have been the place where the family had their silver and goldsmith business.

It's likely Marcus Boddingius sold this house to his son at that time, because in a document of 1862, Adriaan Boddingius is referenced as having obtained ownership of the house C72 through a purchase on 9 October 1839.

 

Pieternella Harinck continued to live in the house with number C241 until her death in 1845, while Marcus Boddingius continued to live there until 1 May 1850. By then, a 74 years old widowed man, he moved to the house with number A191 in the Wijngaardstraat, where he rented some rooms and continued to live until his death on 4 July 1859.

 

When Marcus Boddingius moved out of the house C241, his daughter Elisabeth Maria Boddingius and her husband Pieter van Daalen and their two children still living at home, Pieternella Adriana and Adriaan Marcus, moved into the house C241.

After the death of Marcus Boddingius, at the division of his estate in August 1859, his daughter Elisabeth Maria Boddingius and her husband Pieter van Daalen, obtained ownership of the house C241, in which they already had been living since 1850.

 

On 17 September 1852, Marcus Boddingius joined the Ds. Budding's"old reformed congregation" of Goes, a congregation in which his son Adriaan Boddingius was a deacon and his son in law Gijsbrecht Sterk an elder.

On 2 October 1852 he officially left the DRC/NHK to which he had belonged all his prior life. He continued to be a member of the "old reformed congregation" until his death in 1859.

 

According to an inventory made on 1 August 1859 by notary Smallegange, and the subsequent division of the estate later that month, the total assets of Marcus Boddingius at the time of his death were valued at Fl. 20,497 and included:

  1. The title to the house with number C241 in Goes, occupied by his daughter Elizabeth Maria Boddingius and her husband Pieter van Daalen, with an assigned value of Fl. 1,000.

  2. A mortgage on a property owned by Geerard Soutendam in Yerseke, in the amount of Fl. 4,150.

  3. A loan to Adriaan Nonnekes, blacksmith and Dirk Nonnekes, apprentice blacksmith, in the amount of Fl. 400.

  4. Several bonds with the Nationale Nederlandsche Schuld, with a total value of approx. Fl. 2,250.

  5. Two bonds issued by the Russian Empire, with a total value of approx. Fl. 2,090.

  6. A bond issued by the Nationale Weener, with a value of about Fl. 800.

  7. Three loans to his son in law Pieter van Daalen, in the amounts of Fl. 1,300, Fl. 600 and Fl. 100 respectively.

  8. A loan to his son Adriaan Boddingius, in the amount of Fl. 5,800.

  9. An amount owed by the estate of his late son Hubertus Boddingius, who died in August 1858, in the amount of approx. Fl. 2,000.

  10. Furniture and other personal belongings in the amount of Fl. 273.

    A detailed inventory of the personal belongings describes about a 100 different items, valued from Fl. 0.10 for three old bibles, to Fl. 43.00 for a bed. Other items of value where a desk at Fl. 27.00, a clock (pendule) at  Fl. 27.00, a second bed at Fl. 17.00, a linen cabinet at Fl. 14.00 and three picture bibles at Fl. 7.00.

    The inventory further lists many personal items such as clothes, sheets, utensils, knick knacks, books and other household goods and provides a glimpse in the life of Marcus Boddingius.

 

His estate was divided as follows:

  1. His son Adriaan Boddingius received an amount of Fl. 5,124.

  2. His daughter Elizabeth Maria Boddingius received an amount of Fl. 5,124.

  3. His grandchildren Fredrik Sterk, Marcus Sterk, Adriaan Sterk, Pieternella Sterk, Adriana Sterk, Johanna Pieternella Sterk, Elisabeth Pieternella Sterk and Gijsbregt Cornelis Sterk, all children from his previously deceased daughter Cornelia Adriana Boddingius and her also previously deceased husband Gijsbregt Sterk, received a total amount of Fl. 5,124, or about Fl. 640 each.

  4. His grandchildren Pieternella Boddingius, Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius, Hendrika Cornelia Adriana Boddingius, Hubertina Johanna Maria Boddingius and Alexander Antonie Boddingius, all children of his previously deceased son Hubertus Boddingius, the first three children from his first marriage with his previously deceased wife Hendrika de Voogd, and the other two from his second marriage with his previously deceased wife Maria Johanna Courlois, received a total amount of  Fl. 3,193, plus an amount of Fl. 1,931 which was shared between the aforementioned five grandchildren and Hubertus' third wife, Johanna Ida de Bij.

 

On 19 November 1809, Marcus Boddingius and Pieternella Harinck were witnesses at the christening in Goes of Pieternella Marculina Harinck, daughter of Pieternella's brother, Cornelis Harinck and Catharina Rapholm.

On 22 July 1815, Marcus Boddingius was one of the registrants of the death of Jan Harinck, child of his wife's brother Cornelis Harinck and Catharina Rapholm.

Although the record of 1827 briefly lists her as being a housekeeper, the records of all other years list her as not working for a living (particuliere) and in the last years of her life, 1850 to 1852, as someone receiving assistance from the church (gealimenteerde).

 

Simon Hoogesteger and Pieternella Boddingius had the following children:

  1. Pieter HOOGESTEGER, was born 22 April 1804 and christened 6 May 1804, both in Goes. His christening was witnessed by his paternal grandparents Pieter Hoogesteger and Magalina Eglon(s). He was named after his paternal grandfather Pieter Hoogesteger.

    It's likely that after the death of his father in January 1822, he went to live with his paternal grandfather Pieter Hoogesteeger, who was living in Goes in the house with number D51 and where records indicate the young Pieter was living in 1826. After his grandfather moved to a home for the elderly in 1827, he moved in with his mother who was living in the house with number B44 and later D54.

    Around 1828 he enlisted in the Army where he became a tailor's apprentice and later on a tailor. Around the same time he moved into the house with number C79 in Goes, where he either met his future wife or where they lived together before actually being married, but in any case it was the same house where his future wife was living at that time.

     

    Pieter Hoogesteger on 21 November 1833 married in Goes at age 29, with marriage banns published on 10 November 1833 and 17 November 1833 and with consent of the honorable Mr. Kolonel, commander of the Ninth Battalion Infantry:

    Sara Johanna de JONGE, child of Jan de JONGE and Maria LEMKENS. She was born 31 March 1801 in Goes and was 32 years old at the time of her marriage. She was a working as a cleaning and laundry woman.

    She died 16 September 1870 in Goes at age 69 as a widow.

     

    Around 1829, several years prior to their marriage, they both moved to the house with number C84 in Goes where they continued to live until 20 May 1836, at which time they moved to Zierikzee (Z). Sara's widowed mother Maria Lemkens joined them/her briefly in Zierikzee (Z) from 12 October 1836 to May 1837.

     

    It's likely Pieter Hoogesteeger died sometime between 1836 and 1839, because on 15 September 1839 Sara Johanna de Jonge moved to Goes from Rotterdam (ZH) alone, where she moved into the house with number A75, on the south side of the Sint Adriaanstraat. It's not sure how long she lived there, but apparently she moved to Kapelle (Z), from which she returned on 9 June 1846, to settle in Goes once again, this time in the house with number B163, on the west side between the two entrance gates to the city (Tussen de twee poorten). Between 1846 and 1849 she lived in the following houses respectively, C114 on the west side of the Lange Vorstraat, C173 on the south side of the Ganzepoortstraat, C199 on the north side of the Ganzepoortstraat, and back to C173 on the south side of the Ganzepoortstraat. In 1850 and beyond she lived in the house A205, on the south side of the Beestenmarkt, coincidently also a house her mother in law, Pieternella Boddingius, had lived in during the end 1830's to the mid 1840's and C23 in the Lange Kerkstraat, all in Goes.

    Pieter Hoogesteeger and Sara Johanna de Jonge did not have any children that are known of.

  2. N.N. HOOGESTEGER, a male child born in Goes on or shortly before 24 April 1807 and buried on that date in Goes. The child was born in the house with number B69.

 

 

Generation VIII

 

VIIIb

Elisabeth Maria BODDINGIUS, child of Marcus BODDINGIUS and Pieternella HARINCK.

She was born 2 April 1800 and christened 13 April 1800, both  in Goes. Her christening was witnessed by her maternal grandfather Hubertus Harinck and her aunt Maria Johanna Harinck. She was named after her maternal grandmother Elisabeth Wawelaar and her aunt Maria Johanna Harinck. She died 6 August 1873 in Utrecht (U) at age 73.

She married 15 November 1821 in Goes, with marriage banns published on 1 November 1820 and 2 November 1820 in Goes:

Pieter van DAALEN, child of Adriaan van DALEN and Adriana van DRUINEN.

He was born 8 May 1799 in Goes and died 15 July 1877 in Goes at age 78.

At the time of their marriage, he was 22 years old and a Clerk (Griffier) of the Court in Goes, while she was 21 years old and without an occupation. They were both living in Goes.

 

They had the following children:

  1. Johan Hendrik van DAALEN, was born 4 September 1825 in Goes and died 15 November 1859 in Goes at age 34.

  2. Pieternella Adriana van DAALEN, was born 15 January 1833 in Goes and died after 1865.

  3. Adriaan Marcus van DAALEN, was born 4 June 1839 in Goes. He was named after both his grandfathers, Adriaan van Dalen and Marcus Boddingius. He lived at least until 1852 with his parents in Goes.

 

At least from 1826 until sometime around 1836, they were living in Goes in the house with number B225. After that they moved to the house with number A73, on the south side of the Sint Adriaanstraat in Goes. On 15 May 1850 they moved to the house C241, in the Lange Vosstraat, owned by and until that moment occupied by, Elisabeth's father, Marcus Boddingius.

 

Pieter van Daalen continued to work as a Clerk (Griffier) of the Court (Arrondissements Rechtbank) in Goes at least until 1859.

On 30 January 1829, he was one of the registrants of the death of Hubertus Harinck, his wife's uncle, in Goes.

 

VIIIc

Adriaan BODDINGIUS, child of Marcus BODDINGIUS and Pieternella HARINCK.

He was born 6 December 1801 and christened 20 December 1801, both in Goes. His christening was witnessed by his paternal grandparents Adriaan Boddingius and Cornelia Rijder. He was named after his paternal grandfather Adriaan Boddingius.

He died 6 April 1861 in Goes, at age 59.

He married 9 June 1831 in Goes at age 29, with marriage banns published in Goes on 29 May 1831 and 5 June 1831:

Johanna Cornelia SNOEP, daughter of Thomas SNOEP and Johanna Cornelia van GOETHEM.

She was born 6 May 1808 in Goes and christened 8 June 1808 in Goes. No witnesses were recorded for her christening. She died 30 May 1882 in Dordrecht (ZH), at age 74.

It's not known who she was raised by, but her mother died 7 May 1808, a day after giving birth to her and her father ran off with another woman and moved to Groningen (Gr) sometime in 1809.

If it were her grandparents, it must have been her maternal grandparents, because her paternal grandfather, Cornelis Snoep, died in 1795, years before her birth and her paternal grandmother Francina Joel, died in February 1809, less than a year after her birth.

Her marriage banns in 1831 made reference to the fact that, not only were both her parents deceased at that time, but so were her grandparents.

 

At the time of their marriage, Adriaan Boddingius was 29 years old and a silversmith, while she was 23 years old and not working for a living  (particuliere). Both were living in Goes.

They had the following children:

  1. Marcus BODDINGIUS, was born 5 August 1832 in Goes and died between 1866 and 1882, at the most 50 years old.

  2. Johanna Cornelia BODDINGIUS, was born 7 June 1834 in Goes and died after 27 June 1912, presumably in Amsterdam (NH), at least 78 years old.

  3. Pieter BODDINGIUS, was born 4 September 1836 in Goes and died 1 April 1867 in Krabbendijke (Z) at age 30.

  4. Thomas BODDINGIUS, was born 24 May 1838 in Goes and died 25 March 1911 in Wemeldinge (Z) at age 72.

    It should be noted that all persons with the last name Boddingius or it's variation Bodingius in the late 20th and early 21st century, are dedcendants of Thomas Boddingius.

  5. Kornelia Adriana BODDINGIUS, was born 16 August 1840 in Goes and died 30 August 1911 in Rotterdam (ZH) at age 71.
  6. Johanna BODDINGIUS, was born 3 September 1842 in Goes and died 21 December 1858 in Goes at age 16.
  7. Hubertus BODDINGIUS, was born 27 September 1844 in Goes and died 9 March 1907 in Dordrecht (ZH) at age 62.

  8. Adriana BODDINGIUS, was born 19 December 1846 in Goes and died 12 February 1920 in Rotterdam (ZH) at age 73.

 

 

Adriaan Boddingius, became the fifth generation of Boddingius' working as a gold or silversmith. His Master symbol "AB59" was first registered on 2 November 1833. His Master seals were destroyed on 29 June 1861, a few months after his death earlier that year.

Until sometime between 1828 and 1830 he was living with his parents in the houses C56 and C57 in Goes. When he moved out of the parental home, he moved to the house with number C147, where, after getting married, he was joined by his wife Johanna Cornelia Snoep.

They continued to live there until about 1836, at which time they moved to the house with number C241, on the east side of the Lange Vosstraat in Goes, which had been purchased by his parents in 1833.

They only lived there for a few years and at the end of 1839, when his father Marcus Boddingius retired as a gold and silver smith, they swapped homes with his parents and moved into the house with number C72, on the north side of the Papagaaistraat.

This property probably also housed the gold and silver smith store / business and he probably purchased the house from his parents at that time, because in a later document Adriaan is referenced as having purchased the house C72 on 9 October 1839.

 

On 7 December 1858, Adriaan Boddingius acknowledged he owed the estate of his, at that time recently deceased, brother in law Gijsbregt Sterk, an amount of Fl. 2,400, which was secured by a first mortgage on his house C72 in the Papegaaistraat

After Adriaan's death, times apparently got tough, because the payments for the mortgage fell behind and on 11 October 1862, the house, which included a small storage structure (pakhuisje) at the back, was sold by public auction on demand of the estate of the late Gijsbregt Sterk, which basically were Gijsbregt's children and thus Johanna Cornelia Snoep's nieces and nephews, albeit from her late husband's side.

 

The buyer was Fredrik Sterk, son of the late Gijsbregt Sterk, who bought it for Fl. 2,000 on behalf of himself and his seven brothers and sisters, basically the same people to whom the money was owed.

On 14 October 1862, about 18 months after her husbands death, Johanna Cornelia Snoep requested an attest from the "separated christian congregation" in Goes she belonged to, for herself and her daughter Adriana, because they were moving to Rotterdam (ZH). They only lived there for nine months and in July 1863 they returned to live in Goes.

 

On 9 May 1872 she again moved with her daughter Adriana Boddingius from Goes, this time to the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH).

On 13 April 1874, about 18 months after the marriage of her daughter Adriana Boddingius in Dordrecht (ZH), she moved to Wemeldinge (Z), to live with her son Thomas Boddingius and his family.

On 14 July 1877 she moved back to Dordrecht (ZH), this time to the house C1681.

 

She died 30 May 1882 at 10 AM, at the address D790 in the Begijnhof, in Dordrecht (ZH), presumably the nursing home she was cared for during her illness as referenced in the above ad of thanks placed by her son Hubertus Boddingius. She was 74 years old. Her death was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

 

VIIId

Hubertus BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Pieternella HARINCK.

He married (1) on 25 April 1829 in Goes, with marriage banns published in Goes on 29 March 1829 and 5 April 1829:

After their wedding Hubertus Boddingius and Hendrika de Voogd moved to the house with number C61 in Goes, just a few homes down from his parents. All three of their children were born here and Hendrika de Voogd died here on 15 February 1835 at 1 PM at age 27, just two weeks after giving birth to their third child. Her death was registered the next day by Johannes Magielse (56), an undertaker and Marinus Adriaan Helfaan (39), a smith, both neighbors and living in Goes.

Hubertus Boddingius and Maria Johanna Courlois initially lived in the house with number C61, where Hubertus Boddingius was living at the time of his marriage and had been living with his previous wife, Hendrika de Voogd. However in 1837 they moved to the house with number C76, on the south side of the Papegaaistraat. They continued to live there at least until 1852 and all six of their children were born there.

    It is possible that he later moved to Amsterdam (NH), because on two occasions, once in 1910 and again in 1912, his mother Johanna Cornelia Boddingius moved to live in Amsterdam (NH), for no apparent reason.

  2. Johanna Cornelia van der MADE, born 8 September 1860 in Goes. She was named after her maternal grandmother Johanna Cornelia Snoep.

    She lived with her parents in Goes, Alblasserdam (ZH), Dordrecht (ZH) and in 1871 moved with them to Leiden (ZH).

    Where she lived between 1871 and 1890 is not known, but on 1 January 1890 she was living in the Voorstraat 73a in Dordrecht (ZH), together with her mother Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her uncle Hubertus Boddingius. She continued to live there until 1893.

    In 1894 she was living in the Nieuwstraat 45 in Dordrecht (ZH), still together with her mother and her uncle Hubertus Boddingius, but also with her brother Cornelis van der Made.

    She continued to live there until she died on 21 April 1902, at 4:30 PM. Her death was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

     

    She initially was a store clerk (winkeljuffrouw), but apparently later on had her own store in drapery/textile accessories (winkel in manufacturen), together with her mother.

    She was never married and did not have any children.

  3. Johanna van der MADE, born 19 February 1863 in Goes. She likely died young, because she did not move to Dordrecht (ZH) with her parents and siblings in 1870.

     

On 5 May 1870, Johannis Marinus van der Made, together with his wife Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and their children Cornelis van der Made and Johanna Cornelia van der Made, moved from Alblasserdam (ZH), to the house B68 in Dordrecht (ZH). It is not known, when they moved from Goes and if they immediately settled in Alblasserdam (ZH). He was a construction supervisor (opzichter) at that time.

On 15 April 1871, the family moved to Leiden (ZH).

 

It is not known exactly when Johanna Cornelia Boddingius moved back to Dordrecht (ZH), however in 1883 she lived at the address Ward E, number 566 on the Spuiweg in Dordrecht (ZH), together with her brother Hubertus Boddingius.

It not clear if she already was a widow at that time, because the exact date of death of her husband Johannis Marinus van der Made is not known yet, however in 1887 she was referred to as a widow.

 

In 1885, Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her brother Hubertus Boddingius were both living at the Spuiweg 38, presumably the same address as previously referred to as Ward E, number 566. Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made, was also living with them at that time.

 

They continued to live at the Spuiweg 38, until 1 January 1890, when they moved to the Voorstraat 73a. Records do not show that Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made, was still living with them at that time, however Johanna Cornelia's daughter, Johanna Cornelia van der Made, apparently had moved in with them.

 

The three of them continued to live at the Voorstraat 73a until 1893, when they moved to the Nieuwstraat 45, where they once again were joined by Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made.

 

Although Johanna Cornelia Boddingius had not been working (particuliere) before, sometime between 1893 and 1897, she apparently started her own drapery/textile accessory store (winkel in manufacturen), which she operated together with her daughter Johanna Cornelia van der Made.

 

They all continued to live at the Nieuwstraat 45 at least until the death of Johanna Cornelia van der Made on 21 April 1902.

After Johanna Cornelia van der Made's death, Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her brother Hubertus Boddingius, moved to the St. Jorisweg 16 boven (upper floor). They apparently did not live there for too long, because in 1904 they were both living at the Vrieseweg 27 boven (upper floor), where they continued to live until the death of Hubertus Boddingius on 9 March 1907.

 

Johanna Cornelia Boddingius continued to live there until 28 February 1910, when she moved to Amsterdam (NH).

On 29 October 1910, she moved from Amsterdam (NH) to the Korte Hillestraat 20b in Rotterdam (ZH), presumably to live close by to her sister Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, with whom she later moved in at the Pretorialaan 60b in Rotterdam (ZH).

 

On 27 June 1912, about a year after the death of her sister Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, who died on 30 August 1911, she moved to the Javastraat 19 in Amsterdam (NH). At that time she was 78 years old and probably died in Amsterdam (NH).

Pieter BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Johanna Cornelia SNOEP, was born 4 September 1836 in Goes. He was named after his paternal grandmother, Pieternella Harinck. He died 1 April 1867 in Krabbendijke (Z) at age 30. His death was registered the following day in Krabbendijke (Z).

He married 11 June 1863 in Goes, with intent to marry registered in Goes on 27 May 1863 and marriage banns published on 31 May 1863 and 1 June 1863, his second cousin:

Katharina de JONGE, daughter of Geraard de JONGE (window maker, living in Goes at the time of marriage of his daughter) and Pieternella Marculina HARINCK (deceased at the time of marriage of her daughter).

She was born 25 August 1837 in Goes and died 9 March 1875 in Krabbendijke (Z) at age 37.

At the time of their marriage he was 26 years old and a watchmaker living in Kattendijke (Z), while she was 25 years old and without an occupation living in Goes. Their marriage was witnessed by her brother Adriaan de Jonge, 30 years, a house painter, her uncle Johannes de Graag, 56 years, a cake and cookie baker and his cousins Pierre Johannisse, 57 years, a pharmacist and Frederik Sterk, 38 years, a storekeeper, all living in Goes.

They had the following children.

  1. Adriaan BODDINGIUS, born 10 June 1865 in Krabbendijke (Z). His birth was registered by his father on 12 June 1865 in Krabbendijke (Z).

    He was named after his paternal grandfather Adriaan Boddingius. He died 19 December 1891 in Goes at age 26. He was a housepainter.

 

Katharina de JONGE, after the death of her husband Pieter Boddingius, married (2) on 5 April 1868 in Krabbendijke (Z) at age 28, her uncle:

Pieter Adriaan de GRAAG, born 27 September 1808, age 59 at time of marriage. Pieter Adriaan de Graag's first wife Johanna de Jonge, sister of Katharina's father, died 30 January 1892, so she was still alive at the time of this marriage and therefore Pieter Adriaan de Graag must have been divorced.

For more information about the de Jonge family visit the de Jonge family website.

Thomas BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Johanna Cornelia SNOEP.

He was born 24 May 1838 in Goes. He was named after his maternal grandfather Thomas Snoep.

He died 25 March 1911 in Wemeldinge (Z) at 2:30 AM, at age 72. His death was registered the same day by his son Adriaan Boddingius.

He married 3 September 1863 in Goes, with intent to marry registered on 11 Augustus 1863 in Goes and marriage banns published in Goes on 16 Augustus 1863 and 23 Augustus 1863:

Maria Johanna OLIVIERSE, child of Jan OLIVIERSE (born 9 February 1815 in Goes, died 16 September 1891 in Goes, married 29 September 1836 in Goes, an office clerk) and Anthonetta Adriana Carolina HARINCK (born 8 July 1815 in Goes, died 29 September 1836 in Goes).

She was born 15 January 1839 in Goes. She was named after her maternal grandmother Maria Johanna Verberkmoes.

She died 12 October 1920 in Wemeldinge (Z) at 6 AM, at age 81. Her death was registered the same day by her sons Adriaan Boddingius and Johannes Cornelis Boddingius.

  2. Jan Anton BODDINGIUS, born 25 September 1866 in Middelburg (Z). He was named after his maternal grandparents Jan Olivierse and Anthonetta Adriana Carolina Harinck.

    He died 10 September 1889 in Schore (Z) at 2 AM, just two weeks short of his 23rd birthday. His death was registered on 11 September 1889 in Schore (Z) by his father Thomas Boddingius and his uncle Pieter Janse, husband of his mother's sister Elisabeth Suzanne Antoinetta Olivierse.

  1. Philippus Johannes Willem BODINGIUS, born 13 February 1875 at 10:30 PM, in the house with number 197, in Wemeldinge (Z). His birth was registered by his father on 15 February 1875 in Wemeldinge (Z).

    It should be noted that the clerk made a mistake in the spelling of his father's last name, which was written as Bodingius, with a single "d", instead of Boddingius with "dd". Thomas himself signed the birth registration as Thomas Boddingius.

    He died 18 April 1876 at 5 PM in Wemeldinge (Z), just 14  months old. His death was registered the next day by his father in Wemeldinge (Z).

  2. Antonetta Adriana Carolina BODDINGIUS, born 22 February 1877 at 8 PM, in the house in ward C number 79, in Wemeldinge (Z). Her birth was registered by her father the next day in Wemeldinge (Z).

    It should be noted that the clerk once again made a mistake in the spelling of her father's last name, which was written as Bodingius, with a single "d". However, unlike with her three brothers, previously born and registered in Wemeldinge (Z), this time the misspelling was corrected and the name changed to Boddingius with "dd".

    She was named after her maternal grandmother Anthonetta Adriana Carolina Harinck.

    She died 13 December 1880 at 7:30 PM, in Schore (Z), at age 3. Her death was registered on 14 December 1880 in Schore (Z) by her father Thomas Boddingius in the presence of Jacobus de Jonge, 33 years, farmer in Schore (Z).

  3. Wouter Jan Baptist BODDINGIUS, born 14 July 1880 In Schore (Z) at 9 PM in the house in ward A with number 14. His birth was registered on 15 July 1880 in Schore (Z) by his father Thomas Boddingius in the presence of Willem Hemmekam, 40 years, village constable (veldwachter) in Schore (Z) and Pieter Daniel Joosse, 53 years, laborer living in  Schore (Z).

    He was named after his uncle Johannes Baptist Wouters, who drowned in the Indian Ocean on 26 December 1877, but whose death was not known and registered until 30 April 1878.

    He died 5 August 1883 at 12:30 AM, in Schore (Z), at age 3. His death was registered on 6 August 1883 in Schore (Z) by his father Thomas Boddingius in the presence of his uncle Pieter Janse, husband of his mother's sister Elisabeth Suzanne Antoinetta Olivierse.

     

After their marriage, Thomas Boddingius and Maria Johanna Olivierse lived in Middelburg (Z), where their first two children were born. Sometime in 1868 they moved to Goes, where their third child was born.

On 19 November 1869, Thomas Boddingius was a witness at the marriage of his sister in law Elisabeth Suzanna Antoinette Olivierse with Jan Lammers in Goes. At that time he was living in Goes and working on the Kings Highway (Rijkswegwerker), presumably as a construction worker.

 

Before 1871 they moved to Wemeldinge (Z), where they lived at least until 1877 and their fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh children were born.

In 1880 they lived in Schore (Z) where he was a bridge-keeper. They lived there and he continued to work there as a bridge-keeper, until at least the end of 1891, but possibly until the early 1900's.

Schore (Z) became a place for many important events in the life of the Boddingius family. Their eigth child, Wouter Jan Baptist Boddingius was born there in 1880 and died there in 1883.

 

Two of their other children died there as well, namely their seventh child Antonetta Adriana Carolina Boddingius in 1880 and their second child, Jan Anton Boddingius in 1889, just five days after the marriage of their oldest son, Adriaan Boddingius with Pieternella Sterk, which also took place in Schore (Z).

Two years later, in 1891, their third child, Johannes Cornelis Boddingius, married Pieternella's younger sister Wilhelmina Sterk.

 

As described in the next section, the Sterk family were no strangers to the Boddingius family. Thomas Boddingius' aunt, Cornelia Adriana Boddingius, was married to Gijsbregt Sterk, an uncle of Pieter Sterk, father of Pieternella and Wilhelmina Sterk. Living in a small village like Schore (Z), they must have known each other quite well.

 

All four sons of Thomas Boddingius and Maria Johanna Olivierse moved to Rotterdam (ZH) after their marriages in the 1890's. Only their oldest son, Adriaan Boddingius returned to live in Zeeland in 1893, after a short stay in Rotterdam (ZH) and settled in Wemeldinge (Z). At some point in time after 1891, probably in the early 1900's, Thomas Boddingius and his wife Maria Johanna Olivierse also moved to Wemeldinge (Z), presumably to be close to their only son living in Zeeland. They both died in Wemeldinge (Z), in 1911 and in 1920 respectively.

 

Thomas Boddingius is the only known male of the Boddingius family, with descendents living in the 20th century and beyond. All known name carriers are descendents of one of the four surviving sons.

It however should be noted that the surnames of Adriaan en Johannes Cornelis, were properly recorded as Boddingius, while the names of Anton Adriaan Karel Hubertus and Pieter, who were both born in Wemeldinge (Z), were mistakenly recorded as Bodingius.

 

From this generation onward, four distinct family branches developed, two with the name Boddingius and two with the name Bodingius. This has been reflected in this document by separating the descendents into four branches, starting with generation X.

  1. Adriaan Boddingius

  2. Johannes Cornelis Boddingius

  3. Anton Adriaan Karel Hubertus Bodingius

  4. Pieter Bodingius

Kornelia Adriana BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Johanna Cornelia SNOEP.

She was born 16 August 1840 in Goes. She was named after her aunt Cornelia Adriana Boddingius.

On 17 May 1877 she moved from Goes (Z) to Dordrecht (ZH), to live with her sister Adriana Boddingius and her husband Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt, who at that time were living in the house E404 at the Bleekerssloot in Dordrecht (Z).

Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt was a sailor who was sailing the oceans (zeeman grote vaart) and was rarely home.

 

Kornelia Adriana BODDINGIUS married 7 June 1877 in Dordrecht (ZH), with marriage banns published in Dordrecht (ZH) and Amsterdam (NH) on 27 May 1877 and 3 June 1877:

Johannes Baptist WOUTERS, child of Franciscus WOUTERS and Johanna Maria Elisabeth Janse.

He was born 23 August 1828 in Amsterdam (NH).

At the time of their marriage, he was 48 years old, Roman Catholic, a sailor (zeeman) and living in Amsterdam (NH), while she was 36 years old, Dutch Reformed, without an occupation and living in Dordrecht (ZH).

 

After their marriage,   moved in with his wife and his wife's sister and brother in law, who were all living in the house E404 at the Bleekerssloot in Dordrecht (Z). Just as his new brother in law, he too was a sailor sailing the oceans.

Only six months after their marriage, Johannes Baptist Wouters died on 26 December 1877 at 7 AM, on the Dutch frigate Jupiter, sailing in the Indian Ocean at 12 degrees 40 minutes South and 98 degrees 17 minutes East, as a result of drowning after falling overboard. He was 48 years old.

His death was only registered in the civil records of Dordrecht (ZH) on 30 April 1878, after the receipt of a letter from the Minister responsible for the Navy, by the records office in Dordrecht (ZH), outlining his death.

 

On 27 May 1880, Kornelia Adriana Boddingius moved from Dordrecht (ZH) to Leiden (ZH), possibly to live with her other sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, who had moved to Leiden (ZH) from Dordrecht (ZH) on 15 April 1871.

She later moved to Gouda (ZH) and on 17 July 1890 she moved from Gouda (ZH) to Rotterdam (ZH), where she lived at Zwaanshals 173, Zwaanshals 75, another address,  Hovenierstraat 39, another address and then Hillelaan 30.

On 25 January 1902, she moved back to Dordrecht (ZH).

 

On 12 April 1910 she returned to Rotterdam (ZH) and moved in with her sister Adriana Boddingius and her husband Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt who lived at the Hillelaan 18b. She had previously lived with them in Dordrecht (ZH).

After the death of her sister's husband, Kornelia Adriana Boddingius and her sister Adriana Boddingius moved to the Pretorialaan 60b, where Kornelia Adriana Boddingius died on 30 August 1911 at 9 AM, at age 71. Her death was registered the same day in Rotterdam (ZH). At the time of her death she was without an occupation.

 

Kornelia Adriana Boddingius and Johannes Baptist Wouters did not have any children.

 

IXc7

Hubertus BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Johanna Cornelia SNOEP.

He was born 27 September 1844 in Goes and was named after his uncle Hubertus Boddingius.

He died 9 March 1907 at 3:30 PM, at the Vrieseweg 27 boven (upper floor) in Dordrecht (ZH), at age 62. He was never married and did not have any children.

 

When exactly Hubertus Boddingius moved to Dordrecht (ZH) is not known, however in 1883 he lived at the address E566 on the Spuiweg in Dordrecht (ZH) and although he lived on a number of different addresses, he continued to live in Dordrecht (ZH) until his death in 1907.

 

His sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, who was married to Johannes Marinus van der Made, was living with him in 1883 at the address E566. It is not clear if she already was a widow at that time.

 

In 1885, Hubertus Boddingius and his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, were both living at the Spuiweg 38, presumably the same address as previously referred to as E566. Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made, was also living with them at that time.

 

Hubertus Boddingius and his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, who in 1887 for the first time was referred to as a widow of Johannes Marinus van der Made, continued to live at the Spuiweg 38, until 1 January 1890, when they moved to the Voorstraat 73a. Records do not show that Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made, was still living with them at that time, however, Johanna Cornelia's daughter, Johanna Cornelia van der Made apparently had moved in with them.

 

Hubertus Boddingius, his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her daughter Johanna Cornelia van der Made, continued to live at the Voorstraat 73a until 1893, when they moved to the Nieuwstraat 45 and where they once again were joined by Johanna Cornelia's son, Cornelis van der Made.

 

Sometime between 1893 and 1897, Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her daughter Johanna Cornelia van der Made, started their own drapery/textile accessory store (winkel in manufacturen).

 

Hubertus Boddingius, his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius and her daughter Johanna Cornelia van der Made, continued to live at the Nieuwstraat 45 at least until the death of Johanna Cornelia van der Made on 21 April 1902.

 

After Johanna Cornelia van der Made's death, Hubertus Boddingius and his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, moved to the St. Jorisweg 16 boven (upper floor). They apparently did not live there for too long, because in 1904 they were both living at the Vrieseweg 27 boven (upper floor).

On 12 October 1905, Hubertus Boddingius was a witness at the marriage of his niece Cornelia Adriana Bartelt, daughter of his sister Adriana Boddingius, with Gerardus Johannes de Jong, in Rotterdam (ZH).

 

Hubertus Boddingius and his sister Johanna Cornelia Boddingius both continued to live at the Vrieseweg 27 boven (upper floor) until the death of Hubertus Boddingius on 9 March 1907 at 3:30 PM, at age 62. His death was registered 11 March 1907 in Dordrecht (ZH).

 

Johanna Cornelia Boddingius continued to live at the Vrieseweg 27 boven (upper floor) until 28 February 1910, when she moved to Amsterdam (NH).

 

From at least 1883, until his death in 1907, Hubertus Boddingius was an office clerk (kantoor bediende).

IXc8

Adriana BODDINGIUS, child of Adriaan BODDINGIUS and Johanna Cornelia SNOEP.

She was born 19 December 1846 in Goes and christened in the "separated christian congregation" in Goes on 17 January 1847. She was named after her father Adriaan Boddingius.

On 14 October 1862, about 18 months after her father's death, Adriana Boddingius, and her mother Johanna Cornelia Snoep, moved to Rotterdam (ZH) where they lived until they returned to Goes in July 1863.

 

On 9 May 1872, she moved together with her mother Johanna Cornelia Snoep, from Goes to the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH).

Six months later, she married on 5 December 1872, in Dordrecht (ZH), at age 25:

Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm BARTELT, child of Carl Friedrich BARTELT (deceased before 1910) and Maria Louisa SVELIEG (?) (deceased before 1910).

He was born 3 April 1833 in Wilsdorf, Prussia.

They had the following children:

  1. Cornelia Adriana BARTELT, born 17 May 1874 at 11 AM, in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH). Her birth was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

    She was named after her maternal grandparents Adriaan Boddingius and Johanna Cornelia Snoep.

    She died 2 June 1875 at 9 PM, in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH), barely one year old. Her death was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

  2. Cornelia Adriana BARTELT, born 15 June 1875 at 5 PM, in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH). Her birth was registered 17 June 1875 in Dordrecht (ZH).

    She was named after her maternal grandparents, Adriaan Boddingius and Johanna Cornelia Snoep and her sister who passed away just two weeks before her birth.

  3. Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm BARTELT, born 25 February 1878 at 7 PM, in the house E404 at the Bleekerssloot, in Dordrecht (ZH). His birth was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

    He was named after his father and had the exact same names as his father.

    He died 5 September 1878 at 7 AM, in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH), barely six months old. His death was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

    He was named after his uncle Johannes Baptist Wouters, who drowned in the Indian Ocean on 26 December 1877, but whose death was not known and registered until 30 April 1878.

    He died 1 July 1879 at 1 PM, in the house A284 at the Groenmarkt, in Dordrecht (ZH), just 7 weeks old. His death was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

  5. Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm BARTELT, born 28 June 1880 at 7:30 PM, in the house B961 in the Spuiweg, in Dordrecht (ZH). His birth was registered the next day in Dordrecht (ZH).

    He was named after his father and had the exact same names as his father and his previously deceased brother.

    He died 25 November 1881 at 2 AM, in the house A357 at the Knolhaven, in Dordrecht (ZH), just 16 months old. His death was registered the same day in Dordrecht (ZH).

     

After their marriage, Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt moved in with his wife Adriana Boddingius, who was living together with her mother Johanna Cornelia Snoep, in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat, in Dordrecht (ZH).

He was a sailor on ships sailing the oceans (zeeman grote vaart) and probably was not home much. For example, he was not home for the birth of any of his five children.

On 13 April 1874, a month before the birth of their first child, Adriana Boddingius' mother, Johanna Cornelia Snoep, moved to Wemeldinge (Z), to live with her son Thomas Boddingius and his family.

Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt and his wife Adriana Boddingius continued to live in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat until at least 15 June 1875 and later moved to the house B69 (next door?).

They moved to the house E404 at the Bleekerssloot, sometime before 17 May 1877, which was the date that Adriana Boddingius' sister Kornelia Adriana Boddingius moved in with them, shortly later, after her marriage, followed by her husband, Johannes Baptist Wouters.

Johannes Baptist Wouters, who just as Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt was a sailor sailing the oceans, died on 26 December 1877 as the result of a drowning.

On 5 September 1878, the Bartelt family once again lived in the house B68 in the Wijnstraat. On 12 May 1879 and 1 July 1879, they lived in the house A284 at the Groenmarkt.

On 27 May 1880, Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, who was a widow at that time, moved out and moved to Leiden (ZH).

On 28 June 1880, Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt and his wife Adriana Boddingius lived in the house B961 in the Spuiweg. After that, they briefly lived in the house A348 and on 25 November 1881 they lived in the house A357 at the Knolhaven.

 

On 10 January 1883, Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt and his wife Adriana Boddingius moved to Antwerp, Belgium, together with their only surviving child, Cornelia Adriana Bartelt. At the time of their move, they were once again living in the house E404, at the Bleekerssloot.

On 31 October 1889, they moved from Antwerp, Belgium to the Eendrachtsstraat 114, in Rotterdam (ZH), only to move back to Antwerp, Belgium on 21 February 1891.

On 21 September 1896 they once again moved from Antwerp, Belgium to Rotterdam (ZH). Initially they moved to the Eendrachtsstraat 52 and then to the Hillelaan 30, Hillelaan 24, Breede Hilledijk 87 and Hillelaan 16, which was later renumbered to 18b.

On 12 April 1910, Adriana Boddingius' older sister, Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, moved in with them at the Hillelaan 18b.

 

On 28 November 1910 at 1 AM, in the house at the Hillelaan 18b, Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Bartelt died at age 77. His death was registered the next day in Rotterdam (ZH). At the time of his death, he was no longer working.

Not too long after that, the two sisters, Adriana Boddingius and Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, moved to the Pretorialaan 60b, where Kornelia Adriana Boddingius died on 30 August 1911.

Either shortly before, or after, the death of Kornelia Adriana Boddingius, Adriana Boddingius' other sister, Johanna Cornelia Boddingius, moved in with her at the Pretorialaan 60b. She however did not stay there for too long, because on 27 June 1912 she moved to Amsterdam (NH).

 

Adriana Boddingius later moved to the Rosestraat 6 and then to the Burgemeester Hoffmanstraat 30b, where she was joined by her daughter Johanna Cornelia Bartelt and her daughter's husband, Gerardus Johannes de Jong, and their two children.

IXd2

Jacoba Pieternella BODDINGIUS, child of Hubertus BODDINGIUS and Hendrika de Voogd.

She was born 31 March 1832 in Goes and died 31 May 1861 in Goes after a lengthy illness, at age 29.

She married 16 July 1857 in Goes, with intent to marry registered in Goes on 24 June 1857 and marriage banns published in Goes on 28 June 1857 and 5 July 1857:

Jacobus Gilles DOBBELAERE, child of Gerardus DOBBELAERE and Johanna Margaretha ROTTEVEEL (both deceased at the time of marriage of their son).

He was born 19 December 1834 in Vlissingen (Z) and died 18 April 1894 in Middelburg (Z) at age 59.

At the time of their marriage he was 22 years old and a teacher living in Vlissingen (Z), while she was 25 years old, without an occupation, living in Goes.

They had the following children:

  1. Jacobus Auguste DOBBELAERE, born 5 February 1858 in Driewegen (Z), died 14 January 1894 in Breda (NB) at age 35. He married:

    Johanna Theodora SCHMIDT.

    They had three children with descendants.

  2. Henricus August Winoc DOBBELAERE, born 12 September 1859 in Goes, died 11 October 1859 in Goes, not even one month old.
  3. Henric Auguste Winoc DOBBELAERE, born 15 January 1861 in Goes. He married 8 September 1886 in Rotterdam (ZH), at age 25:

    Hendrika Elizabeth EVERS.

    They had no children as far as known.

It is not exactly known when and why Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius moved to Driewegen (Z) and how Jacobus Gilles Dobbelaere ended up there, but it is likely that Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius moved there near the end of 1855 to help her sister Pieternella Boddingius, who was seven months pregnant and had just become a widow after the death of her husband Hendrik Gerrit Le Cointre in October 1855.

Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius and Jacobus Gilles Dobbelaere married in Goes but apparently continued to live in Driewegen (Z), given the fact that their first child was born there in February 1858. They apparently moved back to Goes just before or after the death of Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius' father, Hubertus Boddingius, on 4 August 1858. Hubertus Boddingius had been a store keeper in Goes and they apparently took over the store after his death. This would explain why Jacobus Gilles Dobbelaere, who in 1857 was a teacher, in 1862, at the time of his second marriage, listed store keeper as his occupation. He probably was operating the store previously owned by Hubertus Boddingius and now owned by him after the death of his wife Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius on 31 May 1861.

He later was a merchant of glassware and farmer's hats. His merchant skills either were not so good or he hit on bad times, because on 9 August 1886 he declared bankruptcy. His financial settlement offered to his creditors was approved by the court in Middelburg (Z) on 29 September 1886.

He was a member of the local militia (schutterij) in Goes and was given a medal of honor for his long and loyal service.

Jacobus Gilles DOBBELAERE, after the death of his wife Jacoba Pieternella Boddingius, married (2) on 15 January 1862 in Goes, with intent to marry registered in Goes on 3 January 1862 and marriage banns published in Goes on 5 January 1862 and 12 January 1862:

Maria Elisabeth MASSEE, child of Johannes Cornelis MASSEE (deceased at the time of marriage of his daughter) and Elisabeth Catharina ROVERS (store clerk in Goes at the time of marriage of her daughter).

She was born 29 April 1828 in Middelburg (Z). At the time of her marriage she was 33 years old, without occupation living in Goes.

They had the following children:

  1. Elizabeth Catharina DOBBELAERE, born 9 July 1863 in Goes, died 22 June 1864 in Goes, not even one year old.

 

STERK Family

 

Near the end of the 18th century, Frederik Willem Sterk, a young man from Wezel, settled in Goes and married a local girl, Johanna van den Ende. In the early part of the 19th century, one of their sons, Gijsbregt Sterk, married Cornelia Adriana Boddingius. This was the first union of the Boddingius and Sterk families. They had many descendants.

 

Near the end of the 19th century, two daughters of Pieter Sterk and Johanna van den Berge, namely Pieternella Sterk and Wilhelmina Sterk, married two of the sons of Thomas Boddingius and Maria Johanna Olivierse with descendants in the 20th and 21st century, namely Adriaan Boddingius and Johannes Cornelis Boddingius, respectively.

Coincidently, these were the two sons whose family names were recorded as Boddingius with "dd", while the family names of the other two surviving sons were recorded as Bodingius with a single "d".

Therefore, all descendents with the family name Boddingius with "dd", not only share the same Boddingius ancestors, but also the same Sterk ancestors.

 

Frederik Willem STERK, born in 1755 in Wezel (Wesel, Germany?). He died 13 February 1818 in Goes, at 2 AM in the house in ward C with number 2, at age 63. His death was registered the same day by his son Gijsbregt Sterk and Kornelis van der Volkeren (55) concierge and a neighbour of the family.

He married 5 March 1794 in Goes, with marriage banns first published in Goes on 15 February 1794:

Johanna van den ENDE, child of Gijsbregt van den ENDE (christened 9 November 1723 in Goes, married 26 June 1754 in Goes, died December 1805 in Goes) and Cornelia Leenderts CRAMER (christened 21 December 1727 in Goes, died before January 1818).

She was born 1 August 1870 and christened 8 August 1770, both in Goes. Her christening was witnessed by (her maternal grandmother) Adriana Nederhof. She died 16 August 1833 at 5 PM in Goes in the house in ward C with number 32, at age 63. Her death was registered the same day by Nicolaas Katsman (46) and Johannes Magielse (54), both undertakers living in Goes and acquaintances of the family.

At the time of their marriage he was 39 years old and living in Goes, while she was 23 years old and living in Goes.

 

In October 1797 they were living in the house in ward C with number 2, in the Lange Kerkstraat, where they were still living at the time of death of Frederik Willem Sterk in 1818. Both in 1797 and in 1818 he was referenced as a postmaster, however at the time of death of his youngest child, Elisabeth Maria Sterk, in 1812, he was listed as a storekeeper.

After the death of her husband in 1818, Johanna van den Ende apparently continued  to operate the store, because in 1819 at the time of marriage of her son Gijsbregt Sterk, she was listed as a storekeeper. It's likely she was later joined in the operation of the store by her son Gijsbregt Sterk, who in later years was also listed as a storekeeper. At the time of her death in 1833, she was living in the same house as her son Gijsbregt Sterk had been living in since at least 1823, namely the house in ward C with number 32.

From 1828 until her death in 1833, she apparently was no longer working for a living because, because in those years she was referenced as a "particuliere".

They had the following children:

  1. N.N. STERK, a child with unknown name and sex and date of birth, buried in August 1794 in Goes. The burial cost were 4 shilling and 2 pence (£0-4-2).

  2. Johannes STERK, was born 11 August 1795 in Goes and christened 2 September 1795 in Goes. No witnesses were recorded for his christening. He was probably named after his paternal grandfather. He died 16 December 1865 in Goes at age 70. He was a barber (barbier) and never married.

  3. Gijsbregt STERK, was born 30 May 1797 in Goes. He died 17 September 1859 in Goes at age 62.

  4. Susanna Cornelia STERK, christened 23 February 1800 in Goes. Her christening was witnessed by Susanna den Boer, after whom she was named.  Susanna den Boer apparently was boarding in the Sterk's home, according to information obtained from the registration of her death in 1811, for which Frederik Willem Sterk was one of the registrants.

    Susanna Cornelia Sterk was buried in March 1800 in Goes, shortly after her birth. The burial cost were 4 shilling and 2 pence (£0-4-2).

  5. Matthijs STERK, christened 7 January 1801 in Goes and died in April 1800 in Goes, barely three months old. No witnesses were recorded for his christening. Matthijs and Cornelis were twins.

  9. Susanna Cornelia STERK, was christened 16 December 1804 in Goes. No witnesses were recorded for her christening. She was named after her previously deceased sister, who in turn was named after one of the boarder's in the Sterk's home, Susanna den Boer.

  10. Willem STERK, born 6 May 1806 in Goes and christened 11 May 1806 in Goes. He died 21 September 1840 in Schore (Z) at age 34.

  11. Frederik Johannes STERK, born 23 September 1809 in Goes and died after 16 April 1879.

  12. Elisabeth Maria STERK, born 21 January 1812 in Goes and christened 23 January 1812 in Goes. No witnesses were recorded for her christening. She died 23 June 1812 in Goes at 2 AM, in the house in ward C with number 2, just 5 months old. Her death was registered the same day by her father Frederik Willem Sterk and Cornelis van de Volkere, a neighbour.

The Boddingius and Sterk families and their religious affiliations in the period 1830-1870

 

The period from 1830 to 1870 was a tumulus time for the churches in the province of Zeeland. Interestingly, members of the Sterk and Boddingius family played a significant role in some of the events of that period in the city of Goes.

 

Most of this information has been obtained from the book "Het ontstaan en de geschiedenis van de Budding gemeente te Goes en haar plaats in het nederlandse protestantisme in de periode 1839-1881", by prof. dr. C. Dekker and published by Kampen in 1992.

 

In the early 1800's most of the preachers within the Dutch Reformed Church (Nederlands Hervormde Kerk)  (DRC/NHK), had adapted a more modern, or enlightened approach to bible interpretations and teachings. This direction wasn't welcomed by all and starting in about 1834, some preachers decided to separate from the church and start their own congregations with likeminded followers. These congregations were referred to as "christelijk afgescheiden gemeenten", or translated "separated christian congregations".

 

In general, those who separated from the church, wanted a continuation of the old reform movement, which was based on the principles established at the "Synode van Dordrecht", a meeting of the church hierarchy after the break away from the the Roman Catholic Church, known as the Reformation, which was held in Dordrecht (ZH) in 1618 / 1619.

One of the ways this desire for continuation of the old reform movement manifested itself, was in the desire to continue to use the old psalms written in the sixteenth century by Pieter Datheen, rather than the revised versions used in the church at that time.

 

However, even those who had separated from the DRC/NHK weren't united in their beliefs and the result was that preachers often went their own way, each with their own following.

One such preacher was Hubertus Jacobus Budding, who was first appointed by the DRC/NHK as a reverend in Biggekerke (Z) on 14 December 1834. However on 1 April 1836, he decided to separate from the DRC/NHK.

At the end of 1840, Budding was leading seven of the eighteen "separated christian congregations" in Zeeland, which were Goes (91/201), Nieuwdorp (72/148), Axel-Terneuzen (67/132), Borsele (64/144), Kruiningen (36/76), Baarland (28/69), and Wofaartsdijk (20/40), with the first number in the brackets representing the number of registered church members (lidmaten) and the second, the number of people associated with the congregation, but not actually a  member, mainly children.

 

One of the other contentious issues facing these separated congregations was the fact if they should register with the state as a religious group, or not. One of the problems with registering was, that they no longer could call themselves "reformed". This was a difficult issue for most of these congregations, because they considered themselves as the true followers of the Reform movement.

Some preachers / congregations decided to register their organization with the state nevertheless, however this action was against the beliefs held by Budding at that time. His congregations therefore remained unregistered and became known as "oud gereformeerde gemeenten", meaning "old reformed congregations".

 

Because these separated congregations did not own any churches or other buildings, gatherings were often held in the homes of followers, and when a congregation became too large, they moved to barns.

For those congregations which were not officially registered with the state, such as Budding's "old reformed congregations", these gatherings were considered unlawful and on many occasions charges were laid and fines issued.

 

On 22 January 1842, Gijsbrecht Sterk (44) separated from the DRC/NHK and on 30 January 1842 became a member of Budding's "old reformed congregation" in Goes. Shortly after, he became an elder of the congregation, which position he held until his death in 1858.

Prof. Dekker writes in his book that the constitutional start of Budding's congregation in Goes can not accurately be determined, however that it was likely in the early part of 1842, and that Gijsbrecht Sterk, as a respectable and capable elder, presumably was the driving force behind the institutionalization of this congregation.

 

On 10 March 1842, Budding and Johannes de Jonge, a church deacon in Budding's congregation in Goes, who occasionally also performed services, were secretly arrested and put in jail for failure to pay their fines.

On 17 May 1842, Gijsbrecht Sterk, together with Cornelis van Zweden and Bartus Gerardus van Loon, send a request to the King, requesting the release of Budding, Johannes de Jonge, and Adriaan Kant Kasse, a preacher from the reformed community in Krabbendijke (Z) and further requested to forgive them the payment of their fines, which had reached amounts of Fl. 10,819 , Fl. 9, 284 and Fl. 1,208 respectively, a staggering amount for those times.

On 27 July 1842, the three aforementioned were released by the Governor of the province of Zeeland, with the advice to withhold from performing services. However, the Sunday following his release, Budding once again performed a service in Goes, which according to recordings of that time "was attended by a great number of citizens of that city and it's surrounding villages".

 

Budding and de Jonge continued to perform services, often with a frequency of Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and and as much as three times on Sundays and local authorities continued to lay charges and issue fines. As a result, in March 1843, Budding and the Jonge were once again arrested.

While in jail, Budding twice send a request to the King, requesting his release and promising to obey the law and a year after his arrest, on 31 March 1844, he was released. Obeying the law meant, he no longer could perform services for his "old reformed congregations", since these congregations were not registered with the state, and so he returned to perform services with some of the other separated congregations, which were properly registered, needless to say, to the great dismay of his followers, who felt betrayed by his actions.

 

With their spiritual leader no longer involved in the congregations he founded, many of the "old reformed congregations" dwindled in size and some of it's members also joined the properly registered, separated congregations, just like Budding had done himself.

 

Although reduced in size, the "old reformed congregation" of  Goes continued to exist and on 29 January 1845, Gijsbrecht Sterk bought a storage structure (pakhuisje), located in the Stoofstraat in Goes, number D144, for Fl. 700, which later that year was renovated and converted into a space where services could be held.

Although Budding maintained contact with members of the "old reformed congregation" of Goes, he wasn't performing any services there and for many years the congregation was without a preacher or spiritual leader.

In 1848 Budding even emigrated to the United States, totally abandoning the congregations he founded, although he continued to maintain contact with some of its members, such as Johannes de Jonge and his wife Janna Visser.

 

He apparently didn't like it too much in the United States and in the summer of 1851, Budding returned to the Netherlands and in the fall of that year he once again was performing services at the "old reformed congregation" in Goes.

 

In order to provide the opportunity to start with a clean slate, both for Budding himself, as well as the members of the congregation, it was agreed that in order to become a member of the (new) congregation, one had to participate in a "commitment" ceremony.

The first such ceremony was held on 24  February 1852 and the five persons participating in this ceremony together with Budding were, Gijsbrecht Sterk (54), elder in the former congregation, Johannes de Jonge, deacon in the former congregation, Karel Mulder, a member of the former congregation since 1842 and two persons who formerly were members of the "separated christian congregation" in Goes, namely Adriana Smit and Adriaan Boddingius (50), younger brother of Gijsbrecht Sterk's wife Cornelia Adriana Boddingius, and therefore his brother in law.

 

On 12 October 1844, Adriaan Boddingius (42) and his wife Johanna Cornelia Snoep (36), had separated from the DRC/NHK and became members of the "separated christian congregation" of Goes, in which Adriaan was a deacon from 24 May 1847 until 29 May 1851.

On 3 February 1852 they left this congregation and as described earlier, on 24 February 1852, Adriaan (50) became a member of the "old reformed congregation" of Goes, while his wife Johanna Cornelia Snoep (43) joined the congregation a few months later, sometime in April/May 1852.

On 9 April 1852, a new church council was chosen, which consisted of Gijsbrecht Sterk, elder, Johannes de Jonge, deacon, Gerard Otte, elder and Adriaan Boddingius, deacon.

 

With Budding's return, the new congregation blossomed and expanded rapidly. The little church in the Stoofstraat soon was too small and on 28 May 1852 Gijsbrecht Sterk once again came to the rescue of the congregation and purchased a barn in Goes at the Zevenkoten, number D201, also for Fl. 700. The official purchase was recorded on 8 June 1852 and renovations were completed by 19 September 1852, at which time the first "last supper" was held in the new church.

 

Just days before, on 17 September 1852, Marcus Boddingius (76) joined the "old reformed congregation" of Goes, in which both his son Adriaan Boddingius and his son in law Gijsbrecht Sterk, played such prominent roles and on 2 October 1852 he officially left the DRC/NHK to which he had belonged all his prior life. He continued to be a member of the "old reformed congregation" until his death in 1859 (83).

On 24 September 1852, Pieternella Marculina Sterk (29), daughter of Gijsbrecht Sterk and Cornelia Adriana Boddingius, also joined the "old reformed congregation".

 

As reason for terminating their membership with the DRC/NHK often was given, the fact that the church was not following God's word properly.

On 2 April 1853, the board of the DRC/NHK reported that no one was willing to rescind these "unproven and defaming" accusations mentioned in their termination letters, however, rather than terminating their membership, the DRC/NHK maintained them as censured members, which was also the case for Marcus Boddingius and Pieternella Marculina Sterk.

 

Two other children of Gijsbrecht Sterk and Cornelia Adriana Boddingius, Adriana Sterk (25) and Adriaan Sterk (26), joined the congregation on 25 March 1853 and 24 April 1859 respectively.

 

In 1858, Gijsbrecht Sterk became terminally ill and no longer could perform his duties as an elder of the congregation. During a church meeting on 20 August 1858, new elders were chosen and his son Marcus Sterk (29) was elected as a deacon, while Gijsbrecht's brother in law Adriaan Boddingius (56) continued to serve as a deacon. The new church board was confirmed on 5 September 1858, two weeks before the death of their pillar and benefactor, Gijsbrecht Sterk on 17 September 1858 (61).

 

In his testament of 5 December 1857, Gijsbrecht Sterk willed the two properties he had purchased and were used as churches by the congregation, to Budding personally. Because the congregation was still not officially registered and therefore was not a recognized entity by the law, these properties could not be willed to the congregation and therefore were willed to Budding personally. However on 10 December 1858, a few months after Gijsbrecht Sterk's death, Budding made a declaration forgoing the entitlement to these two properties and returned them to the "Sterk Successors", which were Gijsbrecht Sterk's eight surviving children.

 

The congregation continued to expand and on 7 January 1859, the property next to the existing church on the Zevenkoten, the one with number D202, was purchased by Marinus Krijgsman. The existing storage structure was demolished and the "Sterk Successors" financed most of the expansion.

 

On 22 June 1859, the inheritance of Gijsbrecht Sterk was divided and his daughter Johanna Pieternella Sterk and her husband Hendrik Jan van den Berge, obtained the rights to these two properties. Both were members of the DRC/NHK in Axel (Z), where they were living. This created a somewhat awkward situation for all parties involved and on 13 October 1859, they donated these two properties once again to Budding.

 

Although Adriaan Boddingius was a deacon with the "old reformed congregation" in Goes, his children weren't participating too much in this congregation and on 7 October 1859, one of his daughters, with the consent of her mother, had gone for confirmation (belijdenis) with one of the more liberal preachers of the DRC/NHK in Goes. This didn't sit well with Budding and two days later, on 9 October 1859, he went to the house of Adriaan Boddingius to remind him and his wife Johanna Cornelia Snoep of their duties towards their children. This visit infuriated Johanna Cornelia Snoep so much, that she immediately terminated her membership with the "old reformed congregation" of Budding.

 

Adriaan Boddingius, who was a silver smith, also had been criticized by some members of the congregation, because he yearly had a booth at the fair of Heinkenszand (Z), an event which was shunned by the members of the "old reformed congregation".

 

One and another apparently also became too much for Adriaan Boddingius and on 14 January 1860, he too terminated his membership and position as deacon with the "old reformed congregation" and days later, on 17 January 1860, he returned to the "separated christian congregation", where he remained a member until his death (59) a year later  His wife Johanna Cornelia Snoep, who had left Budding's congregation a few months earlier, officially rejoined the "separated christian congregation" in Goes a few weeks after her husband, on 3 February 1860.

 

In the fall of 1860, after visiting George Müller, a prominent preacher and philanthropist in Bristol, England, Budding's theological views changed radically and his congregation hesitantly followed him in this new direction. However for some, including Marcus Sterk and his wife Adriana van Meegdenburg, the preaching had become too liberal and they withdrew themselves from the congregation's activities and meetings. In July 1861, Marcus Sterk (32) laid down his function as a deacon and during a meeting of the congregation's membership on 20 September 1861, their membership, together with that of 14 others, was terminated.

 

A year later, on 5 September 1962, Marcus Sterk's brother and sister, Adriaan Sterk (30) and Pieternella Marculina Sterk (39), also left the congregation.

 

On 14 October 1862, about 18 months after her husband's death, Johanna Cornelia Snoep (54) requested an attest from the "separated christian congregation" in Goes on behalf of herself and her daughter Adriana (15), because they were moving to Rotterdam (ZH).

When Adriana Boddingius returned from Rotterdam (ZH) to Goes in July 1863, she returned her attest, which she had not handed in to a church in Rotterdam (ZH) because she only attended church once during the nine months she was there. The congregation's board however did not accept her back and terminated her as a member.

 

In 1867, Marcus Sterk (38) and his wife Adriana van Meegdenburg (39) joined the "gereformeerde gemeente onder het kruis", translated meaning "reformed congregation under the cross", in Goes led by reverend Keulemans. Shortly after, Marcus Sterk became an elder with this congregation.

A few years later, in 1870, the "reformed congregation under the cross" in Goes united with the "separated christian congregation" in Goes and became the "verenigde christelijke gereformeerde gemeente", or translated "united christian reformed congregation".
