  • Proven or possible relations:
  • Geertruij van der Maat was the daughter of her brother of Janna Swiers, because Geertruij was mentioned in the will of Janna.2
     Geertruij van der Maat was born in 1735 in Almelo.1,3 She married (NH) Harmannus ten Schonevelt, son of Warner ten Schonevelt, on 22 May 1765 in Almelo1 (banns (NH) 27 Apr 1765, Almelo.)1

More Information:
She was in service of the Count of Rechtteren to Gramsbergen.1 She was mentioned in the will of Gerrit Hobbelink and Janna van der Maet on 5 Jan 1768.2
Harmannus ten Schonevelt and Geertruij van der Maat with her guardian Dr. E. Dull made a will on 13 Jul 1772. They name each other as heir, with the exception of the legal portion, which testatrix leaves to her mother, the widow of Lucas van der Maat.4
In the census there is both a Geertruij (13 yr. old, so b. 1735, but no baptism) and a Margarieta (11 yr. old, so b. 1737, but bapt. 1735). Only Geertruij is mentioned in 1768 in the will of her aunt. The parents have a Janna baptized in 1737. Maybe Geertruij is born in 1733?
