Happy Christmas to all Vanderhoofs everywhere,
Earlier in 2003 I visited the town of Beesd in Gelderland, Netherlands, the place where the original Van Der Hoeven family lived. I have been in contact with a local researcher who does work at local archives and I asked him to make some investigations to see if there were any other sources other than the RDC registers. I believe these are incomplete or missing for the mid 1600's.
He was able to find some interesting references to the family as follows.
The Central Bureau of Genealogy in The Hague has a register of church members of Beesd 1644-1687. This register showed that in 1656 Geurtgen Cornelis, widow of Cornelis Gijsbertsen, became a member of the Dutch Reformed Church in Beesd. In 1659 Jantgen Cornelis, daughter of Cornelis Gijsbertsen, also became a church member.
The Regional Archive of West-Betuwe in Geldermalsen, has the registers of deeds of the court of aldermen of Beesd and Rhenoy 1634-1661. These registers mentioned Cornelis Gijsbertsen as an alderman of Beesd in the years 1637, 1639-1640, 1642-1648 and 1650-1651. They also contain several deeds showing that Cornelis Gijsbertsen bought and sold property in Beesd during the 1643-1651 period. His full name was mentioned in two deeds of 1651 as Cornelis Gijsbertsen van der Hoeven and that his wife was called Guertgen Cornelis van Velpen.
In 1644 a man called Cornelis Gijsbersen van Hagenstyen bought a house and yard in Beesd on the north side of the Steenstraat. Later on, in 1651 Cornelis Gijsbertsen van der Hoeven sold a house and yard in Beesd at the Oosteind. Evidently the Oosteind was situated on the north side of the Steenstraat, and so the events of 1644 and 1651 could very well concern the same house. A man called Cornelis Willemsen (Schipper was a neighbour in both years)
If this were true, Cornelis Gijsbersen van Hagenstyen and Cornelis Gijsbertsen van der Hoeven could be the same person and it is possible that Cornelis Gijsbertsen van der Hoeven was called "van Hagestyen" because he (or his ancestors) came from the nearby village of Hagestein.
