CHILDREN with Abraham Hendricksdr

    b. 1643
    d. 1644

Jan Gijsbertsen Koning was the son of Gijsbert Andriaesen Connick as seen by the records below. In 1642 his father was making land distributions to his children and at one point mentions "zonen Adriaen, Jan en Claes." (sons Adriaen, Jan and Claes) (1)
Jan had married his first wife, Mareke Adriaensdr around 1620 and had three children with her. When she died he married again to Mareke Jansdr Giertincx, and had three more children with her. On 24 Apr. 1636 "Jan Gijsbertsen Coninck, as husband of Mareke Jansen and as father and guardian of his children by Mareke Adriaensen" made an agreement that the children of both marriages would be inherit equally from their parent's share. (2) This plainly gives us the names of his first two wives. His third marriage was in 1642 when he was named of a widower Merreke Gierlincx of Slijkwell. (3) The two children he had with his third wife died in infancy.
Jan died in 1646 and his land was being distributed by his widow and his brother, Adriaen Gijsbertsen Koinick. "Adriaen Jansen, Gijsbert Jansen and Mareke Jansen" are named in one distribution where they are inheriting the house of their father. These are the children from the first marriage. "Peter Jansen Koning, Gerrit Jansen Koning and Merke Jansen Koning, the children of Jan Gijsbertsen Coninck and
Maejke Geerlinckx", are named in another distribution. These are the children from the second marriage. (2)

aanspraken op de erfenis. Hij laat na aan Eesken, dochter van zijn dochter Jenneken Gijsbertsen, 200 gulden en aan
