May 12 1679

Maria Cobbaert died in Pamel where she had married Joannes Sterckx in 1644.

Elisabeth Sterckx (Pamel 1658 - 1714) was the fifth of their six children. She married Adrianus Van Tricht, innkeeper (Pamel1660 - 1722).

Adrianus was a son of Judocus (Pamel 1627 - 1678) and Gerarda Lambeens, born in Burst in 1629, whom we just met in the post "May 6 1639". Elisabeth and Adrianus had 10 children.

Carolus (Pamel 1696 - 1775) was number eight. In 1723 he married Josina (also Susanna) Van Londerzele (ca 1694 - Pamel 1772) in Liedekerke. They had eight children.

Catharina Suzanna Van Tricht was the eldest (Pamel 1725 - 1799). She married Nicolaes Sterckx (Pamel 1714 - 1803). Nicolaes Sterckx was a nephew of Elisabeth Sterckx forementioned. His father Cornelius, who died in Pamel in 1719, was a brother of Elisabeth. But Nicolaes never knew Elisabeth : she died in the year in which he was born.

Catharina Suzanna and Nicolaes had eight children too. Elisabeth Sterck (Pamel 1754 - Okegem 1799) was the eldest.

In 1778, she married Joannes, called Josephus Neukermans (Okegem 1736 - 1814), with whom she had ten children. Adrianus Neukermans (Okegem 1788 - 1860) , my great-great-grandfather, was number five.
