According to Dutch Immigrants to the United States, South Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, 1835-1880, (Compiled by Robert P. Swierenga; Scholarly Resources, Inc; Wilmington, DE, 1983, p. 70) Pleun DeZeeeuw immigrated in 1870. He was 58 years old and listed himself with one woman and three children. He listed his occupation as workman; his religion as Christian Reformed; his class as less well-to-do; his reason as economic improvement; his destination as North America. He also listed that he was from Barendrecht - Oost, west in Zuid Holland and he was not assessed taxes.
If this is the correct Pleun DeZeeuw, as it appears to be, some interesting questions are posed:
1. If one assumes that the woman he came to the United States with was his wife, Elizabeth DeHann, she must have returned to the Netherlands because she died there in 1893. Did Pleun return with her and then come back to the United States again, after her death (he died in 1899 and is buried in Orange City, Sioux County, Iowa)? Or were they separated?
2. Who were the children listed immigrating with Pleun Dezeeuw? (His daughter Pauline (Appollonia) came to the United States with her husband Dirk Bieshievel in 1875 with their six children--she would have been in her 30s when her father emmigrated.) Where are the records of these other "three" children? (There is mention of a Gysbert DeZeeuw homesteading section 26 between Orange City and Sioux Center in A Pocket of Civility: A History of Sioux Center).
According to Dutch Immigrants to the United States, South Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, 1835-1880, (Compiled by Robert P. Swierenga; Scholarly Resources, Inc; Wilmington, DE, 1983, p. 16) Dirk Biesheuvel immigrated in 1875. He was 41 years old and listed himself with one woman [Appollonia] and six children [Heltigje (Matilda or Tillie), Gertze, Elizabeth, Neltze, Pleuntje (Polly), and Garrit]. He listed his occupation as workman; his religion as Dutch Reformed; his class as less well-to-do; his reason as economic improvement; his destination as North America. He also listed that he was from Barendrecht--oost, west, Zuid Holland.
