August 15 1678

On that date, Gaspar Thienpont, who had been born in Enghien, passed away in Lieferinge. He was lord (heer, seigneur) of Enghien-Heetveld and bailiff (baljuw) of Lieferinge in 1671 and probably up to his death.

He married Catharina De Ro (Gooik 1636 - 1693 she died in Gooik but was buried in Lieferinge).
Gaspar and Catherina probably were the parents of the Maria Thienpont (Gooik 1661 - 1709) who married Joannes Jacobus Walravens who died in Gooik in 1667 (I have contradictory secondary sources which I haven't checked yet).

But that Maria Thienpont was the mother of Maria Theresia Walravens (Gooik 1700 -1750) who in her turn was the mother of Barbara Galmaert (born in Gooik in 1720 and passed away in Aalst).

Barbara's daughter Maria Josina Covens (Pamel 1759 - 1827) had a daughter Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838), the mother of my great-great-grandfather Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881). From there : see a number of recent articles on the De Vidts family, including "August 1 1635").
