Pieter Jelles Nauta 1771-1857
I am interested in finding more information about Pieter Jelles Nauta (1771-1857). All I have right now are birth and death years. I wonder if he might have been related to the Pieter that posts here in 2001 were referring to. Maybe a cousin.
He was father to Jelle Pieters Nauta (-1859) who married Grietje Gerbens Rijpma. They had 8 children (in order): Pieter b. 1837, Gerben b. 1839, Klaaske Jelles b. 1840, Jelle Jelles b.1842, Fettje Jelles b.1844, Sjoerd b. 1846, Sipke b. 1848, and Eeltje b. 1850, all in Wonseradeel province.
Their son Jelle Jelles Nauta, born in Longerhouw 12 Dec 1842, married Tietje Tjittes Wiersma on 28 April 1872
(b.1849:Exmorra-d.1913:Bolsward). Both are buried in Schraard in Wonseradeel province. They had 8 children:
M..?b. 21 Feb 1874
Meike: b. 6 Sept 1876-d. 6 dec 1908 (buried in Schraard)
Fetje: b. 15 July 1878-1870; married Ulbe Abe Ozinga
Grietje: b. 25 Nov 1872- ? married Willem van der Meer
Richtje: b. 11 April 1880-
Jelle Jelles: b. 20 Jan 1882-d. 10 Nov 1939 in Indianapolis, IN
Baukje: b. 10 April 1884
Pieter: b. 25 April 1888
Jelle Jelles married Janke Lammertsma 11 Aug 1906 in Bolsward. She died 26 April 1955 in Grand Rapids, MI. She was the daughter of Harmen H. Lammertsma and Geertje DeBoer. She had 3 siblings: Janna Nauta Buma Eerdman. Cornelis; and Jouke (a Reverend). Jelle (now Charlie) and Janke (now Jennie) emigrated to the US in 1906 and were naturalized in 1913. They lived in Indianapolis, Indiana. They had four children: John, Gertrude, Frank, Jeannette. Only Jeannette now survives. I am daughter to Frank Nauta.
My cousins and I have a Nauta website at myfamily.com where I have posted a picture of Jelle and Janke taken in the late 1930s in front of their house on Trowbridge Street in Indianapolis.
I have been in contact with Harry Nauta in Holland and CJ Nauta in Holland. CJ has an extensive website about the Nautas: http://www.cjnauta.demon.nl/teksten/pagina-1.us.htmlhttp://www.cjnauta.demon.nl/teksten/pagina-1.us.html
Let me hear from you, my relatives (even if we have to go way, way back!). Linda
