Henricus Evenepoel died in Meerbeke, where he had been bailiff (baljuw) between 1600 and 1614. He was married to Petronella Pierens, who died in 1625. They had eight children : six of them became "meiseniers".
Their daughter Maria Evenepoel was born ca 1600 and died in Gooik in 1675. She became a meisenier in 1635. She married three times, including a mayor of Meerbeke who died very young.
Her third husband was Nicolaus Walravens (Pamel ca 1610 - Gooik 1666) who was farmer on hof te Kranenbroek in Poelk - Meerbeke and then moved to Gooik (Drie Egypten) where he became "drossaard". They married in 1636 and had seven children (there are sources which give other numbers).
I most probably descend from two of their children :
--- Nicolaes Walravens (Meerbeke 1638 - killed in Neigem in 1692) ;
--- Anna Walravens born in Meerbeke in 1636.
The lines have been described - and the inconsistencies discussed - in the posts "March 23 1600", "March 14 1636", "November 29 1666", "September 18 1671" ...
The line from Nicolaes includes the families : Galmaert, Covens, Van Lierde, De Vidts.
The line from Anna includes the families Huylenbroeck, Van der Sleyen, De Vidts.

May 8 1698
Anna Van den Heuvel, first spouse of Henricus Covens, died in Pamel.
She married Henricus Covens, born in Malderen in 1660 and farmer of the Groenhof in Malderen, in Grimbergen in 1687. They lived in Grimbergen for some time, and then moved to Hof te Berchem in Pamel, where Henricus became an alderman.
They had four children, and Henricus had another seven children with his second spouse. He died in Pamel in 1739.
Carolus Covens (born before 1699 in Malderen or Grimbergen) died in Pamel in Hof te Berchem in 1770. He married Barbara Galmaert (born in Gooik in 1720), in Gooik in 1739. As we have stated before they had 12 children - see also the posts "February 1 1739", "November 25 1770" ...

April 3 1681
Zeger Van Cutsem, who had been born ca 1620 in Sint Martens Lennik died in Sint Kwintens Lennik. As I have written before, he was a relatively important guy. He married Barbara Walravens (Sint Pieters Leeuw 1623 - Sint Kwintens Lennik 1699).
They had 10 children : I descend from the seventh : Barbara, who was born in Sint Martens Lennik and married Christianus Galmaert (Gooik 1654 - 1718) in 1680.
Further information : see "January 20 1552", "November 5 1699" etc.

March 23 1600
Willem Walravens died in St Pieters Leeuw, the cradle of the - to this day - very extended family. Guillam was an important man : in 1585 he rented three farms in Brukom. He married two or three times.
-- Fact : most of the following lines consists of the offspring of famous, generally well to do, farmer ("pachter") families in Flemish Brabant (the Pajottenland).
-- Fact : I descend from Willem Walravens in a couple of ways at least.
-- Fact : some of those lines are bluried, because I possess contradictory secondary sources.
Nicolaes Walravens (born ca 1570, died in Pamel 1642) was a son of Guillam and Joanna De Leeuw. He married Maria Eylenbosch.
Their son Nicolaus Walravens (Pamel ca 1610 - Gooik 1666) married Maria Evenepoel (born ca 1600, died in Gooik in 1671).
--- I descend from their daughter Anna (born in Meerbeke in 1636) who married Egidius Huylenbroeck. Thir son Adrianus Huylenbroeck (probably born in St Kwintens Lennik, died in Pamel in 1699) married Maria Schandevijl (Pamel 1655 - 1734).
They had a daughter Catharina Huylenbroeck (Pamel ca 1685 - 1751) who married Gasparus Van der Sleyen (Pamel ca 1685 - 1751).
We are in familiar territory here : see the post "January 22 1670" and many others.
--- I descend from their son or grandson Joannes Jacobus Walravens (born in Gooik in 1667). This is were various sources come in play, but the source listing him as their son has grown to have a "reputation" with me - I have found other errors and inconsistencies in other lines. And his date of birth too contradicts that hypothesis.
So - until further notice - I shall accept that the line was as follows. Nicolaus and Maria Evenepoel had a son Nicolaes (born in Meerbeke in 1638, murdered in Neigem in 1692) who married Magdalena De Ro (who died in Gooik in 1693). They had a son Joannes Jacobus, born in Gooik in 1667.
Joannes Jacobus married twice. With Maria Thienpont (Gooik 1661 - 1709) he had Maria Theresia Walravens (Gooik 1700 - 1750) who married Michael Galmaert (born in 1690, died in Gooik in 1786).

Michael Galmaert died in Gooik. He was born on August 18 1690 in Brussels or in Gooik and married Maria Theresia Walravens (Gooik 1700 - 1750).
They had nine children. Barbara Galmaert, born in Gooik in 1720, was the eldest. She married Carolus Covens who died in Pamel in 1770.

February 1 1739
In hof te Berchem Henricus Covens, farmer (pachter) and alderman of Pamel, 78 years old, passed away. He was the forefather of all the Covens in the wider region. He married twice : in 1687, he married Anna Van den Heuvel, who passed away in 1698. Then he married Catharina Thienpont, born in Herfelingen, who died in 1729.
He was born in or near Malderen on June 7 1660. He was a meisenier and a man of some importance. He had four children with Anna and seven with Catharina.
Carolus (Pamel before 1698 - 1770), a meisenier like his father, was a son from Hendrik's first marriage. He took over the exploitation of hof te Berchem. In 1739, Carolus married Barbara Galmaert, born in Gooik in 1720.
We have reported on this couple in previous blogs, including the post on "November 25 1770".

A colleague genealogist sent me the following line (thank you, Linda).
I'm sure that some of my family members, knowing nothing about the numbers op persons involved in distant genealogy, will take this infomation much more seriously than I do.

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.
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.
September 18 1671
Maria Evenepoel, born around 1600, died in Gooik. She was a "meisenier". Her first husband was mayor of Meerbeke. In 1636 she married her third husband Nicolaus Walravens (Pamel ca 1610 - Gooik 1666). They first were farmers ("pachters") of Hof te Kranenbroek in Poelk.
(I may have stated this before, but the term "pachter" was reserved for the more important exploitations - smaller tenants were called "cossaart").
Later - in 1642 - Nicolaus probably built the farm and boarding house ("afspanning") "Drie Egypten" in Gooik. This is now the oldest standing house in the village. Nicolaus was "drossaard" - to be compared to a bayliff - of Gooik.
I descend from two of their children, each time through my father and through my mother, but some of the early links still need checking.
-- Joannes Jacobus Walravens (° Gooik 1667) most probably was a son of their son Nicolaus Walravens (Meerbeke 1638 - Neigem 1692) who married Magdalena De Ro (+ Gooik 1693).
At least one source states that Joannes Jacobus was a son of Nicolaus Walravens and Maria Evenepoel themselves but, given the date of his birth, that is highly improbable. The fact that father and son both were named Nicolaus helps to understand the confusion, but further digging is required to clear up this problem (*).
Joannes Jacobus had a daughter Maria Theresia (Gooik 1700 - 1750), who became a meisenier in 1715. She married Michael Galmaert (Brussels 1690 - Gooik 1786). Their daughter Barbara Galmaert had twelve children of which Maria Josina Covens (Pamel 1759 - 1827) was the youngest. Her daughter Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838) was the mother of Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881).
I descend from his son Felix through my mother and from his daughter Antonia through my father (see "Een oude foto en een mysterie opgelost " - by the way I haven't located the photo yet. I know I have it, but that's all ...).
-- Anna Walravens was born in Meerbeke in 1636. Her son Adrianus Huylenbroeck was born in St-Kwintens-Lennik and died in Pamel in 1699. His daughter Catharina lived in Pamel from around 1685 to 1751 and was the mother of Ferdinandus Van der Sleyen (Pamel 1724 - 1810).
Ferdinand's son Michael (Pamel 1758 -1827) was the father of Maria Elisabeth Van der Sleyen (Pamel 1811 - 1860), the spouse of Joannes De Vidts. I descend from her son Felix through my mother and through her daughter Antonia through my father.
(*) In the sixteenth to eighteenth century, in Gooik and surrounding villages, intermarriages between the "pachter" families Evenepoel, Walravens, De Ro, Thienpont ... create a real warren of relations, which is not always easy to disentangle.

September 15 1485
Willem Pipenpoy who had been born around 1410 died - probably in Brussels - and was buried in the choir of the church in St-Martens-Lennik. He married Cathelijne de Buttere, said Haeckmans, in 1460 and was alderman of Brussels in 1468 and treasurer of Brussels in 1483.
I shall not detail the generations leading from Willem to me in this post. I shall write a post about my descendence from this well known family of Brussels' patricians at a later time. A great deal is known about this family and its alliances, but the direct line appears to have died out somewhere in the nineteenth century.
The link from the Pipenpoys to the De Vidts family, and thus to my father and to my mother, includes members of the Van Cutsem and the Galmaert families (see also "September 5 1623").

September 5 1623
Barbara Walravens was born on that day in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, the cradle of that family. She died in Sint-Kwintens-Lennik on November 5 1699. In 1644 she married Zeger Van Cutsem (Sint-Martens-Lennik ca 1620 - Sint Kwintens Lennik 1681) in Sint-Kwintens-Lennik. Zeger's mother was Maria Pipenpoy - through her I trace back some f the oldest links in my genealogy.
Their daughter Barbara Van Cutsem was born in Sint-Martens-Lennik and Barbara's son Michael Galmaert lived in Gooik from 1690 to 1786 - an almost unbelievable age for that era.
Michael's daughter Barbara Galmaert was born in Gooik in 1720 and died in Aalst (see also "August 15 1678"). Her daughter Maria Josina Covens lived in Pamel from 1759 to 1827. She was the mother of Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838).
Maria Elisabeth was the mother of my great-great-grandfather Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881).
This is one of the lines in which a significant number of famous and relatively well known farming "dynasties" in Western Brabant link up into my ancestorship.

Michael's daughter Barbara Galmaert was born in Gooik in 1720 and died in Aalst (see also "August 15 1678"). Her daughter Maria Josina Covens lived in Pamel from 1759 to 1827. She was the mother of Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838).
Maria Elisabeth was the mother of my great-great-grandfather Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881).

August 15 1678
On that date, Gaspar Thienpont, who had been born in Enghien, passed away in Lieferinge. He was lord (heer, seigneur) of Enghien-Heetveld and bailiff (baljuw) of Lieferinge in 1671 and probably up to his death.
He married Catharina De Ro (Gooik 1636 - 1693 she died in Gooik but was buried in Lieferinge).
Gaspar and Catherina probably were the parents of the Maria Thienpont (Gooik 1661 - 1709) who married Joannes Jacobus Walravens who died in Gooik in 1667 (I have contradictory secondary sources which I haven't checked yet).
But that Maria Thienpont was the mother of Maria Theresia Walravens (Gooik 1700 -1750) who in her turn was the mother of Barbara Galmaert (born in Gooik in 1720 and passed away in Aalst).
Barbara's daughter Maria Josina Covens (Pamel 1759 - 1827) had a daughter Maria Elisabeth Van Lierde (Pamel 1790 - 1838), the mother of my great-great-grandfather Joannes De Vidts (Pamel 1811 - 1881). From there : see a number of recent articles on the De Vidts family, including "August 1 1635").
