Willem Gouwens1 (M)
(1796 - 1870)
Last Edited=21 May 2005

     Willem Gouwens was born in 1796.1 He was the son of Ary D. Gouwens and Maria Willem's Kok.1 Willem married Pietertje Plak.1 They had at least 7 children. They were: Keetje (16 Dec 1820-14 Jan 1898), Arie W. (15 Jan 1826 - 7 Apr 1895), Cornelis Gouwens (7 Aug 1827 - 9 Feb 1891), Jan (28 Feb 1830 - 5 Oct 1863), Adriaantze (30 Nov 1834 - 4 Mar 1917), Maria (30 Nov 1834 - 28 Nov 1914), and Jannigje (2 Jun 1837 - 2 Jun 1919). Not all of these children and their descendants have been entered into this database. There is additional information about these people at Dalenberg Central.1
          Willem, age 66, and Pietertje, age 61, were enumerated on the 1860 Federal Census in Thornton, Cook County, Illinois. His real estate was valued at $2000 and his personal estate was worth $1000. Enumerated with them were farm laborers (Dines Feld - age 28 and Klaas Blink - age 14. I believe that Claus is their future grandson-in-law because he marries their granddaughter that lives next door) and a servant girl (Jane Donkers - age 19). Living next door is Ary Gauers, his son, with his family.2 Willem worked as a farmer. Follow the link to see the census image.
          Pietertje died in 1868, leaving Willem a widower.1 He was about 74 old. Willem died in 1870.1
