Edward/Eeuwit Tanis son of Aart Tanis & Betje/Elizabeth Hameeteman. They had 8 children one of which was named Jacob Tanis b 03 Dec 1838. He married Cornelia Maat 10 Mar 1964. Do not know if they had any children, but it is common for them to use same given names. Your Minnie (& Martha) may belong to this couple (or Edward & Clara?)
