Notities over Maria Hendrikse Koppen

Baptised RC in Jutphaas, witnessed by Jannigje Coppels.

12. People: Maria Koppen, Baatje van Waaij, Pieter Kelffkens. Date: May 15, 1773. Reference: U211a3 act 183. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Albert died in June 1772 and his widow Maria Koppen takes over, and she continues to be in charge until close to her death at the age of about 90. Maria extends a lease on 4 morgen of meadow along the Randijk in Jutphaas, called the Slekkenkamp (Snails’ Field) for 6 years and a rent of 60 guilders. Maria is allowed to cut hay every other year.

13. People: Maria Koppen, Jan Jacob de Geer. Date: December 6, 1777. Reference: U256c14 act 208. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

One hundred morgen of land has switched hands again, not the 6 morgen of thiend used by Jan Uijttewaal. The new owner is Jan Jacob de Geer, the man who would buy Stormerdijk Castle in 1778. Maria Koppen extends the lease, although the document says that she was using part of the land. The fields are still located in Gein, Jutphaas and De Vaart, but that does not preclude a change in the location of individual fields: crop land, meadow and orchard. The lease if for 6 years and costs Fl 1,300, 8 young chicken and 300 litres of pigeon feed. The other condition are basically the, with some minor changes, although the wording is very different. All dung must stay on the land, but Maria can sell the sheep dung and use it to buy Fl 120 worth of cow dung to spread on the land. The landlord also reserves 1 morgen of orchard for his own benefit. He gets the fruits, and Maria still pays the rent, although De Geer signs that he would maintain that orchard. The landlord holds on to the wood cut from the trees along the roads and waterways, but, apparently, Maria did negotiate, because in the margins is included a clause that she can cut and keep the wood of willows and alders, as she was used to do.

14. People: Maria Coppen, Pieter Kelffkens. Date: June 12, 1779. Reference: U205a31 act 40. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Maria Koppen extends the lease on 4 morgen meadow, for 6 years and a rent of Fl 68. Baatje de Waaij had either died or transferred the land to Pieter Kelffkens, who acted in her stead in the contract from 1773. Maria’s son Arie Vlooswijk is also included as tenant in the document, acting on behalf of his mother. It is Arie who signs, although the Dutch for tenant is consistently written in the female form. Maria’s signature is absent. Arie’s name is included in the margin. Maybe he turned up for the signing because Maria was indisposed. In 1779 she is already 63 years old. It is possible if not probable that it was Arie who worked the land, and not Maria. All conditions remained the same.

15. People: Maria Koppen, Theodora Anna baroness of Haaften. Date: February 11, 1785. Reference: U256c22 act 8. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Maria extends the lease on 100 morgen of land for another 6 years. The rent is Fl 1,300 plus Fl 40 for the fruits from the orchard and 8 chicken. All other conditions stayed the same. The lease is with Theodora Anna of Haaften, widow of Jan Jacob de Geer. This time there is no mention of son Arie present or signing.

16. People: Maria Koppen, Hendrik Vlooswijk, Hendricus Cool, Gijsje Vlooswijk. Date: March 12, 1788. Reference: U225a15 act 23. Subject: Guarantee (borgtocht).

Daughter Gijsje Vlooswijk is in a bit of a bind: she cannot pay the rent on the farm owed to Hendricus Cool, amounting to Fl 392 over 1 year. Her mother and brother Hendrik step in and promiss to pay the money within 8 months.

By 1788 Gijsje is the widow of Roemert Kraaijkamp, parents of Anna Kraaijkamp, second wife of Evert Pauw, and ancestors of aunts Joke and Jannemie from my Jutphaas days.

17. People: Maria Koppen, Theodora Anna baroness of Haaften. Date: June 16, 1792. Reference: U256c29 act 50. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Maria extends the lease on 97 morgen of land for another 6 years, 3 morgen less, which the landlady appears to have turned into a garden. The lease is therefore backdated to January 1 1790. The rent is Fl 1,280 plus Fl 40 for the fruits from the orchard and 8 chicken. All other conditions stayed the same. The lease is with Theodora Anna of Haaften, widow of Jan Jacob de Geer. This time there is no mention of son Arie present or signing. Maria signs ‘Kop’.

18. People: Maria Koppen, Theodora Anna baroness of Haaften. Date: May 18, 1796. Reference: U256c33 act 47. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Maria extends the lease on 97 morgen of land for another 6 years. The rent is Fl 1,280 plus Fl 40 for the fruits from the orchard and 8 chicken. All other conditions stayed the same. The lease is with Theodora Anna of Haaften, widow of Jan Jacob de Geer. Maria signs with a cross, but she is already 80 years old. Her hand may have been infirm.

19. People: Evert Pauw, Anna Kraaijkamp, Gijsje Vlooswijk. Date: October 22, 1796. Reference: U269c7 act 103. Subject: Prenuptial (huwelijkse voorwaarden).

Maria Koppen would have attended the wedding between her granddaughter and godchild Anna Kraaijkamp and 24-year older but good catch Evert Pauw, so it is appropriate to include their prenuptial. Evert brings into the marriage half of Fl 22,400, the estate when first wife Antonia van Bentum died. The other half goes to his children by Antonia. There is no community of property brough in or inherited, except of property acquired through work. In contrast, Anna brings in a mere Fl 100. Should Evert die first, Anna gets a child’s share in his estate. Should Evert die first and there be no children, he gets all good acquired through work. The rest (clothes, jewelry) goes to Anna’s mother, if still alive, or her default heirs. Interesting note: Antonia’s half-brother Cornelis van Bentum witnessed this marriage (and one Antoni Stolker). The RC church wedding took place in Jutphaas on October 24, 1796. Evert’s oldest son by Antonia, Cornelis Pouw, married Johanna Vlooswijk on April 30 of the next year. Johanna Vlooswijk is the granddaughter of Johannes Vlooswijk, Albert Vlooswijk’s brother, i.e. the sister of Cornelis van Bentum’s wife Engeltje Vlooswijk.

20. People: Maria Koppen, Willem Carel Pieter de Geer. Date: June 16, 1802. Reference: U256c41 act 65. Subject: Lease (huur en verhuur).

Maria Koppen, aged 86, again extends the lease on 97 morgen of crop land, meadow and orchard for another 6 years. This time the rent amounts to Fl 1,600 plus 16 chicken and 30 cartloads of cow dung, maybe a reflection of the uncertain political situation in the country: several coups, French meddling, heated constitutional debates and new laws on all sorts of issues. However, it could also have been a greedy landlord: Willem Carel Pieter de Geer. He is the son of Jan Jacob de Geer and Theodora Anna van Haaften, married to one Isabella Charlotte Emilia van Nassau and he died aged 72 on October 28, 1831. She is the daughter of Jan Floris Anne van Nassau le Lecq, son of Maurits Lodewijk van Nassau le Lecq, son of Maurits Lodewijk van Nassau, son of Lodewijk (the bastard) van Nassau, son of Maurits van Nassau van Oranje, son of William the Silent. In short, people with airs who lived off other people’s backs. Willem wanted to stipulate that he held the right to cancel the lease in any year, with only 2 months notice, even though Maria had been prompt in paying the rent. Probably because of Maria’s very advanced years. But that clause was crossed out. There is also a clause stipulating that the lease would be cancelled should the tenant die. Maria went on to live for another 4 years. She died in 1807 aged 90.
