GRIEP of Waarde/Krabbendijke

 In
1823, Marinus Griep from Hansweert married Geertruida Blok
from Waarde. They went to live at Waarde, where Marinus
earned his living as ferryman. Probably he operated the
ferry service to Walsoorden or Kieldrecht. A service however
that didn't appear to be very profitable, because shortly
after 1837 it seemed to be suspended.
So his descendants had to look after other ways to earn
their living. In the orchards for instance, or by
emigrating... |

THE ANCESTOR AT WAARDE
|
|
| |
| |
Marinus Griep (1800-1875)
Skipper at Waarde
Marinus Griep was born on December
14, 1800, at Hansweert. He was the youngest son of Abraham Griep en
Maria Goossen.
He must have been named after his
uncle, who was drowned, because his widow acted as his
godmother.
In 1823 he married at Waarde to Geertruida Blok and in 1826
he confessed his faith in the Reformed Church at Waarde.
They had 11 children.

THE SECOND GENERATION
|
|
| |
| |
 From
the eleven children of Marinus and Geertruida, seven died at
a very young age. Two other daughters died single at
22 and 26 years of age. Only his three sons grow up to be
married and have children: Abraham (*1824), Kornelis (*1830)
and Jan (*1831). At first, they were mentioned in the
records as barge-hands; they , probably worked for their
father. Later on they had to find another way to earn their
living:
-
Abraham Griep (1824-1891) was born at Waarde
and married Anna Komejan from Kruiningen. He was a
laborer and a barge-hand, and his wife a working woman.
Until 1883 they lived at Waarde and had seven children
there. Later on they moved to Krabbendijke.
-
Kornelis
Griep (1830-1918) was born at Waarde and married Catharina
v.d. Berge. They had four children and died at Krabbendijke.
-
Jan Griep (1831-1901) was born at Waarde
and married Elisabeth Lambregts. At Waarde they had four
children. Later on the family moved to Rotterdam, where
he worked as a navvy. After his first wife had died he
remarried to the widow Elisabeth Lambrechtse.

THE THIRD GENERATION
|
|
| |
| |
Abraham had seven children,
Kornelis had four and Jan had also four. Infantile mortality
was high in those days: eight out of these fifteen children
died at very young ages.
In this third generation there were no more skippers. They
earned their living as laborers or farmhands.
From
Abraham (*1824) his seven children, two died within a year
and three emigrated. Only the oldest two children stayed to
live at Waarde: |
| |
His brother Kornelis (*1830)
had four children, but only one of them will fully grow up:
-
Jan Griep (1862-1942) married in 1884
to Geertruida Zeevaart from Kruiningen. He was a
field-laborer and a farmhand. After their first child
was born they moved to Krabbendijke, where they had six
more children.
|
| |
The daughter of youngest brother
Jan (*1831), who left with his family for Rotterdam, though
married a man from her home region:
-
Jannetje Griep (1859-1907) worked
as a maid and married in 1885 at Rotterdam to the
laborer Jan Verburg from Krabbendijke. She died at the
age of 47.

Meanwhile, members of the
fourth generation <Griep at Waarde> were living in
places like Rotterdam, Holland-Michigan en
Buenos Aires. But also at Waarde and Krabbendijke there were
Griep's left. Particularly, these were the children of both
grand-nephews Marinus (*1857) and Jan (*1862). |
