Person:Johannes Erdtsieck (1)

Johannes Joost is born and baptized in Amersfoort in 1741. He moves with his parents to
Zwolle and obtains the citizen-ship on 4 May 1761 for 35 guilders from the city of Zwolle.
He marries in Zwolle on 10 august 1761 with Christina Kremers.
With the birth of their first child unfortunately both his wife and child die.
On 10 april 1763, when he lives in the Bitterstraat, he marries again with Gerritdina Remmelenkamp.
She is the daughter of lieutenant Jacob Remmelenkamp and Geertruid Buytenhof. During his marriage with
Gerritdina Johannes becomes a wealthy citizen. He buys and sells several houses in Zwolle and the
direct neighboorhood and he lends money for interest to several persons in Zwolle.
The first house Johannes buys on 6 February 1763 is the cafe "De Rode Leeuw" which is situated on
the "Vismarkt". Johannes has worked himself for quite some time as barman in this cafe.
With Gerritdina Johannes receives 4 sons and 4 daughters as can be seen on the Genealogy of Jan Gerhard
Erdtsieck. Peculiar is that his daughter Geertruid from 1774 marries with Pieter Singer.
That is a son from the first marriage of Elizabeth Margaretha Singer with whom her father marries in 1780

After the death of Gerritdina on 14 oktober 1779 Johannes marries for the third time on 1 november 1780
with Elizabeth Margaretha Singer (also called Sänger ). She is a widow living in the north
of Overijssel and from German origin.
Johannes Joost dies on 24 January 1803, aged 62 years, and his wife Elizabeth dies on 16 march 1808.
