Accountability

Search in old archive documents

The family tree for the period 1430-1650 is based on an comprehensive archive research in 2017, supplemented by a number of later discoveries .

Records of baptisms,  marriages and burials are barely available for the period 1430-1650. Therefore use had to be made of less accessible sources such as tax records, annual accounts of monasteries, orphanage archives and judicial sentences by local courts and the Court of Holland. This involved a lot of puzzle work. The experiences during this research have been pubished Peter J.M. van Bohe(e)men in the periodical Gens Nostra (see Publications).

The research has not only resulted into data of lifespan, but also into many details about worth mentioning happenings overcoming the discovered family members. However, most  details are not included in the following genealogy for the sake of readability. They can be found in an article by Peter J.M. van Boheemen, published in the periodical Ons Voorgeslacht (see Publications). Thereby the sources are also specified.

Spirit of the time

The region where the family lives between 1430 and 1650, we now know as Westland. After the Roman period, this region is almost completely depopulated. From the 10th century onwards, people enter the area again from the old residential areas on the river banks and the sea walls. However, in 1134 and 1163 the reclamations are swept away by storm floods from the sea. Afterwards, the area eroded by the sea is slipped up with sandy clay giving Westland a fertile soil.

Thereafter Westland comes under the rule of West Frisian graves which call themselves graves of Holland. In collaboration with monasteries and wealthy noblemen, Westland is reclaimed  again.
In the administrative sense, Westland is divided into amts, under among the amts of Monster, Naaldwijk, ‘s Gravenzande and Wateringen. The graves often lend these amts to non-local noble families who appoint there a board in the form of a bailiff and some aldermen.

In 14rh century the population is hit strongly by the plague. In the three following centuries the plague turns up  several times.

Non-native rulers

Emperor Charles V, ruler of The Netherlands in 1506-1555.

In 15th century counts from the Burgundian House gets the rule over the county of Holland and thereby also over Westland. These are consecutively Philip the Good (1419-1467), Charles the Bold (1467-1477) and Mary of Burgundy (1477-1482). They implement a central administration and a central jurisdiction. This leads to the establishment of the States General, which meets for the first time in Bruges in 1464.

In 1477 Mary of Burgundy marries Maximilian I of Austria. After her death in 1482, the county of Holland comes into the possession of her son Philip the Fair (1482-1506) who belongs to the Habsburg House. The rule over Holland ends up with his son Charles V (1506-1555) and grandson Philip II (1555-1581).

Reformation
Under Charles V, Westland has to deal with the Reformation. In 1581, The religious struggle leads to the dismissal of Philip II as ruler of the Northern Netherlands. However, the Uprising does take its toll in Westland, especially in 1572 and 1573. The farmers are then deprived of their livestock and cereals by the Spanish and States troops. Many farms are set on fire. In 1574 land inundation follows because of piercing the dike along the Meuse for supporting the relief of Leiden.

In Westland, the Reformation leads to villages predominanting by Catholics and those predominanting by Protestants. In Wateringen, Poeldijk and Kwintsheul, the population remains largely Catholic. On the other hand, the majority of the population in Naaldwijk and ‘s Gravenzande becomes largely Protestant. In Loosduinen and Monster, both directions get an qual number of followers. There arises no systematic persecution of Catholics. Shelter churches are tolerated and priests can even be appointed again around 1650.

Rise of horticulture
Around 1500 Westland’s landscape consists of a number of polders with scattered castles and villages with churches, chapels and monasteries. The dike build along the Meuse ensures that break-ins by the sea occur no more. At that time more than 30% of the population in the county Holland already lives in cities as Delft, Leiden Gouda and Dordrecht. In Westland, the population is almost exclusively employed in arable and livestock farming, except the population of Ter Heijde which focuses on sea fishing.

In second half of 16th century horticulture comes up in the form of fruit cultivation (apples and pears). From 1600 onwards prosperity in the county of Holland strongly increases thanks to the oversea trade. From then on, soft fruit (grapes, berries and prunes) is also grown, as well as vegetables (carrots, beetroot, turnips and onions).

Geneagram

In the adjacent geneagram, the first seven generations of the Van Bohe(e)men family are presented. Starting point is founder Philip born around 1430. On the right side, more than 20 members of the 7th generation are mentioned. They are born in the first half of the 17th century (1600-1650).

.

Family characteristic

The family spreads from farm Vrederust situated in the former Lozerdijkse Polder (later Uithof Polder). Nearly everyone settles close to Vrederust, so in the amt of Monster or the adjacent amts of The Hague, Wateringen and Naaldwijk.

Almost all descendants of founder Philip become farmer or farmer’s wife. They often use a large area of ​​land (in the order of 50 ha). The property of this is generally held by a monastery, church, chapel or charity institution and sometimes by an individual person. There is also used land in the form of a fief.

Philip’s grandson Sijmen, who takes over the Vrederust farm, also owns a house in Delft for a short time (1552-1554) and acquirs burghership of this city. One of his sons settles there as a corn buyer and also becomes a burgher of Delft. He marries a woman from the influential Van Bleyswijck family. Another family member settles as a peat man in Stompwijk. There are also several family members who become bakers in Delft and Leiden.

The level of education is relatively high, since many family members are master of writing and fulfill a public function such as ‘ambachtsbewaarder’ (manager of public works in a amt), alderman or appraiser. The possession of fiefs also indicates a respectable position.  Some family members have considerable assets (in the order of 5,000-10,000 guilders).

As discussed on the webpage Founder, a number of descendants have temporarily the Vercrocht/Vercroft family name like their stepfather or stepgrandfather. Later generations switch to the family name Van Bohemen.
In addition, two relatively small branches have the surnames Heul (derived from the village of Kwintsheul) and ‘t Hart. These branches die out in the male line.

Family of founder Philip

I. Philip, born. c. 1430.

Philip may be a great-grandson of Sijmon Florisz, born about 1320 (see Founder). On the other hand there has been noticed Philip perhaps is a son of Jan Philipsz. who exchanges in 1431 land lying along  the Hollewatering.

Philip has as son: Jan Philipsz, follows II.

.

Family of the son of founder Philip

II. Jan Philipsz., born c. 1460, farmer, presumably died after 1518.

Jan Philipsz. leases in 1486 7½ ‘morgen’ (7½ x 0,85 ha) in Escamp Polder from  the ‘Heilige Geest’ (Holy Spirit) and the Chapter in The Hague. In 1518 the lease is extended for 5 years. Presumably Jan Philipsz. lives on Vrederust in Lozerdijkse Polder.

Jan Philipsz. has as son: Sijmen Jan Philipsz., follows III.

.

Family of the grandson of founder Philip

III. Sijmen (Sijmon) Jan Philipsz., born c. 1500, farmer in Monster, burgher of city of Delft since 1555, died between 12-2-1555 and 24/26-1-1559,  married Lijsbeth Cornelisdr., died after 3-6-1559.

In 1544 Sijmen lives on Vrederust. He owns this farm with 6 ‘morgen’ of surrounding land. In addition, in 1544 he uses 29 ‘morgen’ in Monster and 21 ‘morgen’ in Eikenduinen, plus, partly together with someone else, 17 ‘morgen’ in Wateringen. In 1553 the land use is barely different.

It is remarkable that Sijmen Jan Philipsz. buys a house in the city of Delft  on the east side of the Oude Delft in 1552. Barely two years later he sells it again. Just before that he is registered as a burgher of Delft, whereby he is referred to as Sijmen Jan Philipsz. from Wateringen (borders Monster).

Given the extensive land use, his house in Delft and his burghership of Delft, Sijmen will have belonged to the upper layer of the rural population.

Families of seventh generation sons of founder Philip

VIII. Hardly any written archival information has been found about the lives of the two following people. It is suspected that their father(s) are a son of Philips. Jansz. of Bohemen (VIa) or of Maarten Jansz. of Bohemen (VIe). There are several indications for this. It has also been established that a descendant of Dirk van Bohemen in a direct paternal line has the same Y-DNA profile as someone from the rest of the Van Boh(e)men family. See the chapter ‘Skinship research based on Y-DNA’ on the web page DNA tests.
