Jacobjen Jeltes en Jacob Willems
Jacobjen (Jeltes), baptized on September 16, 1711 in Slochteren, according the Slochteren baptizing churchbook; but in the cashbook of the same church is registrated that "on November 18, 1711 a child [*Jacobjen] of Jelte Rolefs was baptized in the Slochteren church"; what’s correct?
Jacobjen Jeltes confessed her faith on December 28, 1740 in the village Farmsum, 7 years after her marriage in the Farmsum church on November 1, 1733 with Jacob Willems, coming from Opwierde. On October 8, 1733 a marriage contract was made in Farmsum between the bridegroom Jacob Willems and his bride Jacobjen Jelles, in company of the next witnesses: "His father Willem Ockes, church warden, his brother Ocke Willems and his wife Eenrick Jans, his sister Diewer Willems and her spouce Berent Remkes, his uncle Derk Ockes, and at the bride’s side, her "principaal" guardian Gerrijt Fockes, her family guardian and also uncle Jacob Allers [*or Alders] and his wife Gepke Roelfs, an full aunt of her, Mr. Eppe Eppes as "distant" guardian and her [*still unmarried] sisters Aaltjen Jelles and Stijnje Jelles"
