October 4 1638

On that day, Jan Covens died at Lippelo. He married Heglwize Van Neyen.

His son Henricus, born ca 1617 became tenant ("pachter") of the Groenhof in Malderen.

Henricus' son was another Henricus. He was born in Malderen in 1660 and died in Pamel in 1739 where he was the farmer ("pachter") of hof te Berchem. He became a meisenier in 1695.

His son Carolus was born in Malderen before 1699 and died in Pamel in 1770. He became a meisenier in 1712 and married Barbara Galmaert (born in Gooik 1720, died in Aalst) whom we met before - see "September 18 1671", "September 5 1623" and "August 15 1698".

I nevertheless shall repeat the rest of the line : the daughter of Carolus and Barbara, Maria Josina Covens (Pamel 1759 - 1827) married a miller, Joannes Josephus Van Lierde (Pamel 1746 - 1811).

Her daughter Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838) was the mother of Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881), my great-great- grandfather on my mothers side and my great-great-great- grandfather on my fathers side.
