Notes

Writing on death certificate of Dierke's wife - Anna Ohloroggen

The pastor when she died wrote on the death certificate that her husband Dirk left her because she was a quarrelsome woman. Dirk went to Amsterdam and never came back. Her rich farm she lost by public sale and she became poor. She died as an old and wrinkled woman. Her sister was quarrelsome and malicious too. Her husband left her and went to the Netherlands like Dirk Benny. They had a good chance to get some work, because Netherlands used a lot of workmen.

Different spellings of the names:

Benny, Benni, Behnje, Bennje, etc. stopped in the 19th century.
