Neeltje Weeda's 1730 Twins

Neeltje Weeda was baptized on 23 December 1708 in Westmaas, Holland. Her parents are my ancestors Pieter Claessen Weeda and Adriaantje Hendriks van der Giessen. Neeltje's father may have died around 1721, when Neeltje was approximately 12 years old.
Neeltje Weeda was not yet 21 years old when she was married on 23 October 1729 in Westmaas to Willem Wesselse Bongaarts. Willem was born in Neukirchen, located west of Moers in Germany.

On May 29, 1730, Neeltje Weeda gave birth to twins named Wessel and Pieter. They were baptized on June 4 with witnesses Johanna Claas Herman and Hendriksjen van der Waal. Both sons would grow up and marry. Neeltje Weeda and Willem Bongaarts were to have a total of 12 children, although at least 3 of them died young.

Neeltje's elder brother Cornelis Weeda was married in 1731 to Marijgje Tuck, a daughter of my ancestor Crijn Jansz. Tuck. Another brother, Claas Weeda, married twice, and is my ancestor through his daughter Neeltje Weeda (±1736-1809).
