======== An essay about her son Jan, with material about Maartina, from her son's Geni record: About Jan Maartense Overbeeke The history of the name Overbeeke begins with the birth of Jan Maartenzn circa 1590 (other sources give 1605 and 1620 as year of birth) in Wetteren, East Flanders (Belgium). 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 =========== Excerpt from an email exchange with H. Overbeeke, about Maartina: Just a quick update, we are off to India for a while but then I will email more information if you require this, also we are going to be in New York in September I think and I could give you some more info. Here we go. Martina born approx 1570, died in Zierikzee 1634 had a pub in Reimerswaal, properly fell overboard from a spanish galei. son, Jan Maertenz born approx 1615 in Reimeswaal, when he married in 1633 he was called Jam Maartenszoon, married Adriantje Cornelis, Son Jacob Janz ( Overbeeke) born 27 nov 1653 , married Pieternella Bartels Son Cornelis Jacobsen ( Overbeeke ) born ?

There are no more details what happenend to him or who he married so that explains if he went to America. ========== Excerpt from an earlier email with H. Overbeeke, about Martina: All the overbeekes from ziericksay are descendants from the original Spanish gypsy who had a small tavern in the area near Tholen ( het verdronken land ) , it is now under about 6 feet of water. Her son Martyn was the first male overbeeke, ( Overbeeke means across the small creek ), I,ve seen the creek it is about 6 feet wide and is in north Belgium. ========== Another version, via Google Translate, of Maartina's story: Historical data of the genus Overbeeke Location of Wetteren in East Flanders The genus Overbeeke begins at birth of Jan Maartenzn about 1590 (other sources give 1605 and 1620 as year of birth) in Wetteren, East Flanders (Belgium). These are children who have started in all likelihood bear 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). All murders and looting took possession of Wetteren to be subsequently expelled by the Spanish in 1580 again. In 1584 the Spaniards Wetteren left for good. (See "History of Wetteren" - www.wetteren.be) Wetteren on the River Scheldt It is in this period and later in particular Protestant refugees Flanders left and settled in New Zealand. Similarly Jan Maartenzn who settled in St. 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 now 5 children: 1 Cornelis Jansz. Overbeeke, born on Tuesday 27-11-1635 at St. Anna land. 2 Maarten Jansz. Overbeeke, born before 1643 in St. Annaland 3 But Tina Jansdr. Overbeeke, born on Monday 05-01-1643 at St. Anna land. 4 Lidia Jansdr. Overbeeke, born on Wednesday 05-01-1650 at St. Anna land. 5 Jacob Jansz Overbeeke, born on Thursday 04-12-1653 in St. Annaland These were 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. Madder plant The Overbeeke in Zeeland have until recently been engaged in farming. Generally were simple people (many farm workers) that especially in the madder cultivation have deserved. (Up to 1920) Many of them were or dryer or pestle in the processing of the madder root to feedstock for madder (red dye) . Both the dryer if the pestle were men at their own game. The dryer oversaw the drying process and the pistil to the processing into powder. St. Annaland, Nieuwerkerk, Ooltgensplaat, Burgh and Good Reason were Overbeeke's who did this work. In Good Reason lived until recently a Overbeeke in the former Meestove. (Thanks to Rev. J. Overbeeke, Nieuwerkerk) Do some stories (including on the Internet) on the origin of Jan Maartenzn Overbeeke. It is in these stories especially for the mother (But Tina?). Tina But this would have been known as far never married but had a son, John, but Tina was called Son. She settled in Zeeland Reimerswaal (called in their time "Remburswale"). According to Internet sources, they must have been a southern type may have come from a Spanish ship that galley slaves in 1574 with the Spanish fleet battled against the Beggars. According to the same sources Martina was in or near Reimerswaal at that time a "Tavern" ("The Three Ducks"), which did not run too best name among the population. Partly because the clientele mostly consisted of rough sailors. But Tina seems to have felt good under their home, among other things, devising palmistry. They also helped in childbirth and knew everything about medicinal herbs. In 1630 they would (forced by flood disasters, etc.) along with her son Reimerswaal have left to settle in St. Annland all where her son in 1634 married Adriaantje Cornelis Daughter. On the Internet you can read that in 1634. But Tina Zierikzee (under mysterious circumstances?) Would have been drowned. In Reimerswaal and surrounding it was known as Black But Tina or Lydia. Her son has two daughters eventually named after her. A report on the Internet provides the following definition of But Tina · "Pockmarked skin, very long black hair, scars on back, arms and ankles, branding on left shoulder." Especially the last point is very reminiscent of the movie "The Three Musketeers" in which the famous character of "Milady de Winter" is unmasked by a brand on her left shoulder in the shape of a lily, which meant that she was known as a murderess. (In the film, she jumps after her unmasking of a bridge and drown!) There is by us to date not a single "proof" that make these stories any plausible since, and some sources report this whatsoever.
