"Wessel is an old Frisian first name. Frisia (Friesland) is a Dutch province with an own language, related to English, in the very northern part of the country. They lived there already in the times of the Roman Empire, but the Romans never ocupied this part of the Netherlands. In those days the Frisians lived in what is now the province of North Holland (West-Friesland), Friesland, Groningen, the northern part of the German state Lower Saxiony (Ostfriesland) and the Western part of Danmark (Nordfriesland). The only places where people speak Frisian now-a-days are the Dutch province Friesland, some very few people in Germany (Ostfriesland) and some people in Denmark."

THIRTEENTH GENERATION

4128. unknown du Puy

4129. unknown

REF: http://daveanthes.tripod.com/ancestors/aqwg22.htm#1115

"(poss. 4129i_a) Jean de Puys (woolcraftsman from Artois) who on May 15, 1639, married in Leiden (Walloon church) Mary des Pureau, youngdaughter from Picardie. His father Nicolaas de Puys (from Artois) witnesses the wedding."

"Leiden, April 1659 was registered for confession in order to become a member of the Walloon parish: (poss. 4129iii_a) Nicolas du Puis, young man, accompanied by his father Adrien"

-- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~celiadon/Mom/PS02/PS02_278.HTM

I am speculating that the father's name might be (4128) Nicolaas, because the younger (poss 4129i) Nicolaas may have been his eldest son.

4140. Jan Van Langendyck

4141. unknown

REF: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2496710&id=I05856; http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=barbdegroot&id=I0701

4142. Jan Wesselsen

4143. Grietjen Gerritsdr

Wessels is a German surname and a Dutch first name. In the present instance, it seems to be used as a surname. I have found no strong evidence that (2071) Gertjie bore the surname Wessels, nor any surname. The fact that a different Jan Langendyck (~1640 Van St. Marten, Neth.-20 Nov. 1697) married (banns 28 Apr. 1672) a different Gertjie Wessels (28 Nar, 1644 New Amsterdam-20 Nov. 1697 Bergen, Hudson, NJ), muddies the water a bit; but this "2nd" couple is even spookier than my own: This second Jan & Gertje managed to die on exactly the same day as each other, while Gertje was already into her 3rd marriage (Jan was her second), to Enoch Vreeland. Whoever the second Jan and Gertje were, if they existed, we have a christening date in 1606, and parents of, Gertie Jans Wessels -- whoever she was.

FOURTEENTH GENERATION

8256. poss. Claude Du Puy, Chevalier

8257. poss. Guigonne de Jouven

REF: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2453276&id=I04222

NOTE: 1572 WAS THE YEAR OF THE ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S DAY MASSACRE OF FRENCH PROTESTANTS. The Du Puy.

8257viii (Nicholas?/) Claude du Puy, the seventh(?) son of Claude and Guigonne according to DuPuy/DePui Family History, p. 11, is credited by most as being our ancestor through his son Nicholas (1594-1625) -- who, in turn, died in combat at the Battle of Saragosse. This has been discredited by recent (2003) research. Because the name Nicholas is a fixture in our family for many succeeding generations, though, I will guess that there is some connection -- perhaps, as I have shown here, through a brother of this Nicholas.

"...Claude (m. Claudine Sanguin) was imprisoned in the Bastille in 1589, four years after the St. Bartholomew Days massacre and later was associated with King Henry IV of Navarre, the Protestant King. As you will see his other sons were well entrenched in the RC Church."
