The name possibly derives from an inn, a guesthouse, and\/or a brewery. He was from Albergen at his marriage; possibly the son of the Roman Catholic Gerardus Gast(huis) and Gertrudis Santhuis. He was probably a sponsor at a RC baptism in 1710, before he married.<\/p>\n<p>He married in 1711 (DRC) with Jenneke Hendriks (van &#8216;t Bosjen).

Starting with Gerrit, I realized this omission. I will now have to do more research to confirm Hendrik&#8217;s children, the possible siblings of Jenneke. I have them in the Almelo database as possible children, but need to be more sure before I add them to the family.<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0Register of the Fireplace tax and Salt tax, Landgericht Almelo, 1713\/4, pg. 49.
