  • Proven or possible relations:
  • Is Derk the same person as Derk Roelofs? Prob. not: Derk Roelofs died before 1694, Derk Roelofs after 1678, but estimated birthdate very far apart.
     Derk Roelofs died a 1678, because he is mentioned in a contract.1

Court Records:

Stadsgericht, Almelo, 23 Apr 1678:
Jan Roelofs, the widow Geese Stockelers, with her guardian Jan Bruins, Godschalk Hendriks and his wife Geertien Jansen, Wilm Wildeman and his wife Janneken Henrix, and also Lambert Braakman, as guardian over Hermken Henrix, daughter of the late Hendrik Ipelo and his wife, conveyed to Derk Roelofs, and his wife and children, their parental house, called the "Schuitjen," between the house of Gerrit Luxon and that of Johan Prinsen, as well as the stables, the brewery and the land that belongs with it.1

The children of Fenneken Roloffs are involved in the sale of the parental house of Jan Roelofs and Derk Roelofs. This makes it likely, that Fenneke a sister of Jan and Derk is. The estimated birth years are however rather far apart. A Jan Roelofs is mentioned in Claes van Raelte's will in 1746, but he would have been over 100 yrs old!1,2
