Johannes van Nieuwkerken
1697-circa 1744
Engela Plooij
1710-circa 1738
Engela Helena van Niekerk
born circa January 1738 1
baptized 16 January 1738 2
died circa 1820 3
will dated 9 April 1774
Notes:
I have assumed that the Engela Helena van Niekerken who married
Alewijn Smit in 1756, is the same person as the daughter of Johannes
van Nieuwkerken and Engela Plooij.

I have based my assumption on the fact that the witnesses at the
baptisms of three of her children, Hendrik Jacobus, Johannes Cornelis
and Helena Alberta where each of Engela Helena's two brothers and
one sister are baptismal witnesses along with their spouses. It was
usual for such witnesses to be close family members, most often the
grandparents (but both Engela Helena's parents were dead by this
time) and brothers and sisters of the parents or of the baptised child.
