Niet alleen conjunctuurspecialisten

Maar het zijn niet alleen de conjunctuurspecialisten die er lappen op geven.

Zie : http://www.standaard.be/artikel/detail.aspx?artikelid=FM2N4A6D&word=geen+wachttijden+van+50+jaar.

De directeur generaal van het VSKO, die koepel van het Vlaams "katholiek" onderwijs, schreef het stuk met de voormelde titel, want "bij ongewijzigd beleid" moeten scholen 50 jaar wachten op nieuwe infrastructuur.

Ik heb het al geschreven : zo kan ik het ook !

April 12 1400

Sweder III van Abcoude - of Dutch extraction - lord of Gaasbeek, Putten en Strijen, died in Radda, Tuscany, Italy on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He was a descendant (20 generations or thereabouts) of Charlemagne.

He was a heavyweight in regional history. Legend has it that he was a ferocious land robber and the instigator of the murder, in 1388, of the Brussels folk hero, Everaert tSerclaes, whose momument on the Grand'Place is world famous (millions of tourists have polished his brass arm).

According to other sources, Sweder was not the bully depicted in many a story, but a devout and just man. Be that as it may, the Brussels militia burnt his castle at Gaasbeek (yes, that's the one) to the ground in vengeance for the murder of Everaert.

Sweder had a bastard daughter Clementia van Gaesbeke, who was born ca 1365. Clementia died young but lived to see the fifteenth century.

She married Jan van de Voorde, born ca 1365, and their daughter Margriete (ca 1385 - ca 1444) married Joannes Pipenpoy (ca 1385 - Brussel ca 1467).

Four generations later (one Willem and three Jan Pipenpoy's) Maria Pipenpoy was born . She married Zeger Van Cutsem (Sint Martens Lennik ca 1620 - 1681).

From there on, the story has been written before (see various posts including : "January 20 1552").

I shall write more extensively about the (in)famous Sweder in a later post. A lot of material can be found in regional history books and on the net.

I shall also go into more detail into the Pipenpoy family at a later date.

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.

January 20 1552

Cornelia Van Overstraeten, who had been born in Ste Gertrudis Pede died in St Martens Lennik.
In 1534, she married Jan Pipenpoy, lord of Bossuyt and alderman of Lennik, who died in 1553. The lived in hof Ten Berg in Ste Gertrudis Pede and are buried in the church of St Martens Lennik, in front of the altar of St Anthony. They had 13 children.

Their son Jan Pipenpoy married Elisabeth Goossens and died in 1615 in St Martens Lennik. Like his father he was lord of Bossuyt and alderman of Lennik (in 1598 and 1601), and lived in hof Ten Berg. They are buried in the same church. They had six or seven children.

Jan and Elisabeth had a daughter Maria Pipenpoy, who married Joannes Van Cutsem. Joannes was born ca 1580. They lived in hof te Opcureghem and Joannes was alderman of Anderlecht in 1625. In 1634 they are mentioned as farmers (pachters) of hof te Budingen in Halle. In his later years Joannes was also reported as alderman of Lennik.

Their son Zeger Van Cutsem, (heer van Bossuyt ??) was born in St Martens Lennik ca 1620 and died in St Kwintens Lennik in 1681. He married Barbara Walravens (St Pieters Leeuw 1623 - St Kwintens Lennik 1699).

They had a daughter Barbara Van Cutsem, who was born in St Martens Lennik and married Christianus Galmaert (Gooik 1654 - 1718) in 1680.

Michael Galmaert (1690 - Gooik 1786) was one of their children. He became a meisenier in 1727. He married Maria Theresia Walravens (Gooik 1700 - 1750) and they had nine children.

Barbara Galmaert born in Gooik in 1720 was the eldest. She married Carolus Covens, born in Malderen, who died in Pamel in 1770.

The line to me has been described before : see "November 25 1770".

November 13 1532

Jan Pipenpoy van Bossuyt, lord of Bossuyt and alderman of Brussels in 1504 died in Sint Martens Lennik where he was buried in the church. He married Geertruyd Bosch who died ca 1553.

They had a son, Jan, lord of Bossuyt and alderman of Sint Maartens Lennik. He lived on hof ten Berg in Sint Gertrudis Pede and died ca 1553 - like his parents he was buried in the church of Sint Martens Lennik.

The third Jan in a row was lord of Bossuyt and alderman of Sint Martens Lennik just like his father. He died ca 1615.

His daughter Maria Pipenpoy had a son Zeger Van Cutsem who was born ca 1620 and died 1681.

From here on the story has been told before : see "November 5 1699" and "September 5 1623".

November 5 1699

On that day, Barbara Walravens died in Sint Kwintens Lennik. She had been born on September 5 1623 in Sint Pieters Leeuw, the cradle of the Walravens family. Barbara married Zeger Van Cutsem, born in Sint Martens Lennik ca 1620, who died in Sint Kwintens Lennik in 1681. They were relatively important farmers and Zeger has been an alderman. According to one source (to be verified) he also was lord of Bossuyt through his descendance of the Pipenpoy family. In any case, they both came from a line of important farmers ("pachters"). They had 10 children.

I have described the line from Barbara and Zeger down to me on previous occasions - see "September 5 1623" and other posts.

Strictly for fun

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.

Let's start with the good duke Jan I, hertog van Brabant 1254 - 1294.

He had a daughter (natural child) Juliana van Brabant

Maria Swaef + 1418 was her child

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.
