| Izak Isaac Seloover / Seloivre b. @ 1634 Holland d. 5-16-1681 Middelburg, Holland m. Susanna Sohier b. @ 1638 Holand d. after 4-25-1682 Holland Ch. 1. Isaac Selover (see earlier email) 2. Susanna Selover m. Jan Dermont 3. Sarah Selover m. Heyndrick Antheuniss Fioen and Michael Jans Faro 4. Abraham Selover 5. Elysabeth Selover m. Andries de Jonge Notes: Records from the Waloone Library in Leyde, Netherlands state that an Isaac Slover or Selover and his wife Susanna Sohier, coming from Groede, joined the Church of Middelburg in October 1673. 25 April 1670 mention is made of Isaac Seloivre, coachbuilder, alderman of Breskens, close to Groede. 4 August 1670 a marriage contract was closed between Sara, the daughter of Isaac Seloivre and Heyndrick Antheuniss Fioen. Mother; Susanna Sohier. 26 May 1673 Isaac Seloivre the elder sells his materials for 1000 Car. guilders to Jan Carton. He lets his house at Breskens to the same person. 26 January, 1679 he sells his house to the same person. 15 May, 1681 Isaac Seloivre and his wife Susanna Sohier, residing at Middelburg, make a testament, the man lying ill at bed in Schoondijke, a mile south from Breskens. He writes his name, Seloover. An act of 25 April 1682 speaks of Susanna Sohier, widow of Isaac Seloivre. Therefore he must have died between 15 May, 1681 and 25 April, 1682. It must not have been this Isaac Seloivre who went to America about 1683. >From the research of Dr. Huib J. Plankeel (on GenForum) The family came between 1628 and 1635 from the region near Calais in Northern France to the Netherlands and settled in the region of Groede and on the island of Walcheren (Middelburg). The name of the father is not known, the mother (or stepmother) was Isabeau Rohart. From that marriage 4 children are known, among whom two sons, Isaac (b @ 1616) and Thomas (b. @ 1623). Thomas died in 1667 in Groede and probably had no children. Sohiers of the Netherlands were descended from Hugues Sohier and Adelie de Torote, of Warmenhuysen. A number of Sohiers lived at Middelburg, but no relationship to Susanna Sohier has been found. Hugues Sohier, a refugee from France, arrived in the Netherlands at the end of the 16th century by way of Antwerp and Cologne. |
