Katherine Johnson letter 6 Apr 1995 cites Annie Kande for name.
Katherine Johnson writes, "...have been in contact with an Annie Kande whose father was John Ben Kuper (Kuiper) whose father was Jan Jan Kuiper and Grietje Berends Braak. She is 95 and quite sharp. ..."
This John Ben Kuper might be the same man as Berend Kuiper (b.1834), but the age makes the possibility a stretch, especially, since the 2nd & last known wife of Berend Kuiper, Antje Wessels married him in 1865. Antje would have been in her 50's when Annie was born circa 1900. - D.A. Navorska - xi Apr MCMXCV - Irving TX
