Gender Male Notes 1891 (Age 30 years) 
Jacobus, has specified his place of birth as Biezelinge, Records of the Netherlands show Kapelle as his birthplace, but the two villages lie very near each other. Biezelinge was a small village' located on the long central peninsula of the Zeeland province. Several hundred years before. Biezelinge and surrounding towns had been situated on an island named Beveland, but by diking and draining the inhabitants had here, too, lowered the water level, creating instead a peninsula connected to the mainland, Consequently much of the area around Biezelinge was actually below the level of the sea.
Growing up with Jacobus there, as a near neighbour, was Adriana Wabeke, born in the same village about two years later, on December 11, 1862, of parents Adrian (born in 1832) and Marynee Moerman. A number of years later, when Jacobus was 28 and Adriana was 26, the two were married in their home town. Most residents of the area at this time were employed as agricultural labourers, but to support his home Jacobus apparently worked in the bakery operated by his parents. A son John was born to them.
Jacobus and Adriana made a major decision about their future, one very likely reached with considerable difficulty, This decision was to leave behind their native land, their home village, their relatives and friends, and start anew in a growing and prospering new land - America.
