DE JONGH FAMILY
Jan 11, 1631. Adriaen Evertsen Groot, heir of Jan Adriensen Groot, conveyed land in Herwijnen to Adrian Adriensen Jorszoon De Jongh -- Adrian, son of Adrian, son of Joris, son of Adrian De Jongh, which again throws the De Jongh ancestry of that locality back to an Adrian De Jongh born not later than 1500.
April 26, 1632. Joris Ariensen De Jongh made a conveyance of land in Herwijnen and gave as security for the contract his interest in the estate of his grandfather, Joris Ariensen De Jongh. This document proves that the above conveyor was, as early as 1632 in Herwijnen, had a great-grandfather Adrian De Jongh, who must have been born about 1500 or earlier, and who was probably the great-great-grandfather of Wilhelmina Ariens De Jongh.
March 20, 1637, Jan Corneliuse van Munster conveyed land in Hellouw to Meerten Ariens De Jongh, from which we may infer that Meerten De Jongh, of an earlier period in that locality, was the father of Arien Meertensen De Jongh, the father of Wilhelmina De Jongh.
(1) Wijntje (Wilhelmina) Ariens De Jongh was born about 1630 and married to Alert Hymansen ROOSA.
(2) Arien Ariensen De Jongh, Burgomaster of Herwijnen. He held the power of attorney of Albert Hymansen Roosa.
March 3, 1660. Alert Hymensen Roosa, living in Herwijnen, conveyed half of a tract of land as yet undivided between the heirs of Govert Ariensen De Jongh in Hellouw (a mile or so from Herwijnen) and again he pledged his interest in the estate of the late Arien Mertensen De Jongh as security for the fulfillment of the contract. It is further proof that the wife of Alert or Aldert Hymansen Roosa was the daughter of Arien Meertensen De Jongh. The De Jongh family owned large fowler preserves in Hellouw in the seventeenth century.
