TWELFTH GENERATION

2048. Jochem Schoonmaker (prob. "Jochim Schomaker")

2049. (unknown)

"Per the publication of Volume I Schoonmaker Family. It is quite probable that they were a Dutch merchant family who happened to be residing in the great Hanseatic port of Hamburg at the time of the birth of his son, Hendrich Joschemsem Schoonmaker.

Another researcher says Jochim's son, (1024) Hendrick, was a Huguenot. I don't know how these reseachers came up with their conclusions. True, Hamburg at the time was a haven for refugees from all over war-torn Europe. My paternal DNA, on the other hand, fits in well with origins in the Hamburg area, where to this day the name Schomaker is common.

The closest matches of my yDNA, besides a fellow Shoemaker, come from a Greenland Inuit with Danish admixture, and from Scotland, a place conquered by Angles from Schleswig-Holstein as well as Vikings from Denmark -- which in Jochem's day included Schleswig-Holstein and bordered on Hamburg. There are close racial, linguistic, and historical connections between inhabitants of Mecklenburg, Jylland, Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, Bremen and coastal Nederland, and there was so much trade and movement in the area around 1600 that it is difficult to say who was a "native" of where.

There was a Hinrick Schomaker in Mecklenburg in 1436. His relationship to other Schomakers is unknown.

A Dr. Georg Schomaker was the Danish Ambassador to England:

"With the crisis of the Armada past, Anglo-Danish relations entered into a calmer phase, where the main issues were the incidents of English seizures of Danish ships going to Spain and Portugal. In 1590 Georg Schomaker came to England to complain, and later in the year Christopher Parakins stopped in Denmark on his way to Poland and Lübeck to discuss these problems..."

"Jans, (2051) Engeltje: Engeltje Jans from Bredstedt in Schleswig came with her husband (2050) Jan Jansen to New Amsterdam about 1636.

After the death of Jan Jansen, Engeltje Jans was married on September 1, 1641, to (2051[2]) Egbert Woutersen of Isselsteyn."

2052. Barent Corneliszoon Slecht of Snelle

2053. Pietertgen unknown

When it took the court (at Woerden) too long to come to a judgement in a case in which (2052) Barent Cornelisz and his son ([1026] Cornelis Barentsen Sleight) were involved, (2052) Barent went to the city hall on Oct.12, 1651, on the assizes day, with a leash around his neck and a dagger by his side, with a large group of people behind him. Before he reached the town hall, he walked into the sheriff and five council members, whom he asked if they had come to a decision, if not, they would get it with his dagger. They tried to explain to him that they were not to that point, but (2052) Barent put his foot down. The council members went back into the town hall with their colleagues and the mayor and they decided to call for him. The mayor asked him what his problem was. (2052) Slecht repeated with much verbosity his demand and threatened again, at which time they ordered him confined. He really didn't like that at all, shouting "I won't go therein, even if I should lose my head because of it!" He called the bureaucrats tyrants and other intolerable words. With much force and difficulty, they finally threw him in the jail.

For his insolence, the sheriff demanded a fine of 400,000 bricks, which demand was accepted by the council. The council changed their judgement and made the fine 150,000 bricks, or in its place a payment of 105 Carolingian golden coins, plus court costs.
