These are children who are most likely started wearing the name Overbeeke. Jan Maartenzn grew up in an area that had suffered in the infamous years of the 80-year war. From 1568 to about 1584 Wetteren was regularly occupied by Spanish troops. In 1579 Wetteren was occupied by the people of Ghent which the Spaniards had previously driven from their city of Ghent and now seek to subject the Flemish hinterland to their ideal of a Calvinist Republic (accompanied by the famous iconoclasm). There were many murders and looting by the Spanish when they occupied Wetteren and they subsequently expelled the Spanish in 1580 again. In 1584 the Spaniards Wetteren left for good. ( See "History of Wetteren" - www.wetteren.be) It is in this period and later in particular Protestant refugees Flanders left and settled in Zeeland. Similarly Jan Maartenzn who settled in Sint Annaland on the island Tholen. In 1634 (other sources mentioned in 1630 and 1633) he married there with Adriaantje Cornelisdr. Jan Maartenzn got as far as we know 5 children This was the first Dutch Overbeeke's. Currently only further data known of sons Maarten Jansz and Jacob Jansz. They are the first two branches of the family of Zeeland Overbeeke. The Overbeeke's in Zeeland have until recently been engaged in farming. Generally were simple people (many farm workers) that especially in cultivation of madder root (up to 1920) Many of them processed madder root to feedstock. They had a very good reputation. In St. Annaland, Nieuwerkerk, Ooltgensplaat, Burgh and Goederede were Overbeeke's who did this work. In Goederede lived until recently a Overbeeke in the former Meestove. (thanks to Rev. J. Overbeeke, Nieuwerkerk) There do some stories (including on the Internet) on the origin of Jan Maartenzn Overbeeke. It is in these stories then especially to the mother Maartina. Tina as far as is known never married but had a son, Jan. She settled in Zeeland Reimerswaal (called in their time "Remburswale"). According to Internet sources, they must have been a southern type may have come as a galley slave on a Spanish ship in 1574 with the Spanish fleet battled against the Geuzen. According to the same sources Martina was in or near Reimerswaal at that time a "Tavern" ("The Three Ducks") which did not overly best name among the population. Partly because the clientele mostly consisted of rough sailors. But Maartina seems to have felt at home, and bezigde include palmistry. She also helped in childbirth and knew everything about medicinal herbs. Around 1630 she would (forced by flood disasters, etc.) leave with her son Reimerswaal have eventually to settle in St. Annland all where her son in 1634 married Adriaantje Cornelis Daughter. Maartina died under mysterious circumstances References
