September 14 1714

Elisabeth Sterckx died in Pamel on September 14 1714, where she had been born on November 11 1658 and where she married Adrianus Van Tricht (Pamel 1660 - 1722) in 1680. Adrianus was a "meisenier". They had ten children en lived on the Kwinkeleer. They must have been relatively well to do as they had a maid and a servant.

Their youngest son Carolus, a meisenier like his father, lived in Pamel from 1696 to 1775 but went through rough times as apparently he lost the Withuis, property of Ninove abbey, to other tenants before 1749.

His daughter Catharina Suzanna Van Tricht (Pamel 1725 - 1799) married Nicolaes Sterckx (Pamel 1714 - 1803). I haven't yet found a blood link between Nicolaes Sterckx and the forementioned Elisabeth Sterckx. But there was a family link between Catharina and Nicolaes because they needed a dispensation to get married.

Catharina and Nicolaes had a daughter named Elisabeth Sterckx (Pamel 1714 - Okegem 1803).

Her son Adrianus Neukermans (Okegem 1788 - 1860) had a son, Amandus (Okegem 1824 - 1857) . As stated a couple of times before, Amandus was the father of my great-grandfather Hermilianus Neukermans, de kloefkapper (Okegem 1855 - 1932).
