Other information:

Jacobus Katers was in the military, and later a store keeper.2,9,3
He was a soldier in the Regiment of the Lord Prince of Baden.5
     A Godefridus Jacobus, son of Martinus Caeter and Maria van Kempen is bapt. (RC) in Boxmeer on 3 Jul 1758. However in his death certificate in Groningen, his parents are listed as Hinderikus Katers and Maria Rijken. His son-in-laws register the death, so one may assume that they knew what they were talking about. At his marriage Jacobus is however Jacobus Marten, which could point to a father Marten/Martinus. Also Jacobus' daughter names two sons Martinus, which is not a name that occurs in her husband's family.
His age at death is 73, and in 1813 he is 57, which would fit with the 1758 date.4

He is listed in the following census:
1822 Groningen census: Household of Jacobus Katers (Div. S, Wijk 1, #174). Household consists of Jacobus.10

Name variants: Godefridus Jacobus Katers (at Maria's baptism.)11 Jacobus Marten Katers (at marriage.)5
