Notes about Jan Janssen Cuyper

Bron: http://www.couperus.org/Tree/wijnaendts.htm
JOHN COUPER (JAN JANSSEN CUYPER) was born around 1590 - '95 and became a citizen of Sneek in Friesland, on Dec. 2, 1619. He had come from Bolsward, Friesland. On Jan. 29, 1620 his wedding bans were proclaimed in Sneek, and on Feb. 16, 1620 his marriage to Dieucke Symens was solemnized. Lists of confessing members of 1624 and 1629, in Sneek, show Jan Janssen Cuyper and Dieucke Janssen "sijn wijf" (his wife). On Feb. 1, 1633 they became the owners of a house in Sneek. Deeds, etc. show that he used as family name the name Cuyper (in Frisian Couper). His wife's name appears several times when a deed is written up, or a list of church members or of those attending Lord's Supper, is made up, till 1658. After that date her name is missing. His name appears in the list of Lord's Supper attendants in Tzum, on Aug. 11, 1667, where his son Johannes Johannis Couperus was the minister. He was not a member there, though. And he is mentioned for the last time in connection with a mortgage in Sneek on July 22, 1674. It's hard to be certain how many children were born in the home of Jan Janssen Cuyper and Dieucke Symons, since baptism registers are incomplete and/or missing, during the years 1624 - 1633, the years they would have had children born to them. It is fairly certain that the following were their children:
Note - These children represent the first generation born in Friesland, and are thus assigned slot numbers 1/1 through 1/5, although only 1/5 Rev. Dirk (Theodorus) C. is known to have had any surviving children. This latter entry is the one referred to in the "Beknopte Stamboom 1647-1947" as "The First Generation" and is the only one of the five siblings actually shown in that document.
