January 24 1805

Petrus De Schepper was born in Okegem on September 5 1736. He was a son of Michael De Schepper (Iddergem 1702 - Okegem 1754) and Anna Van de Maele (ca 1701 - Okegem 1741).

In 1768 he married Catharina Van de Perre (Okegem 1735 - 1812).

Alexandrina (Okegem 1775 - 1853) wa the last of their four children and the only one who reached adulthood.

We have met her before. See : "September 15 1655" and other previous posts.

The De Schepper family intervenes at various points in my genealogy. It is possible, and even probable (although not yet researched or proven) that the various branches are inter-related.
