April 3 1693

Catharina De Ro, born in Gooik on June 25 1636 and meisenier in 1647, died in Gooik on that date, and was buried the next day in Lieferinge.

She was almost 15 (sic) when she became the second wife of Gasparus Thienpont, born in Enghien and deceased in 1678 in Lieferinge where he had been (was) bailiff. Gasparus was lord of Edingen-Heetveld. Gaspar and Catharina had eleven children, and Catharina remarried after Gaspar's death in his castle at Heetveld (?).

I descend from their daughter Maria Thienpont (Gooik 1661 - 1709) who married Joannes Jacobus Walravens, born in Gooik in 1667.

Gezinsreconstructies Gooik does not explicitely state that the Maria Thienpont who married Joannes Jacobus was the Maria Thienpont, daughter of Gasparus and Catharina. But I think that is a highly likely hypothesis.

For the rest of the line : "See August 15 1678".
