Same Name - Adriaen Wouters Visscher

My 17th-century ancestor Wouter Jacopssen Visscher had 2 sons named Adriaen. They were distinguished by the nicknames “de Ouden” (the Old one) and “de Jonge” (the Young one).

Adriaen Wouters “de Ouden” Visscher was probably born between 1625 and 1630 in Raamsdonk, Brabant, The Netherlands. He was known as Ariaen “de Ouden”. He is likely a son of Wouter’s second marriage with a woman named Lijsken Ariens.
Ariaen “de Ouden” was married on 25 February 1655 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle, Brabant, to Cornelia (“Neeltjen”) van Tilborgh. Neeltjen was baptized on 22 January 1634 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle with witness Japickgen Jacobs. Her parents are my triple ancestors Adriaen Woutersz (†1678) and his wife Toniske Seeu (±1605-1680). Ariaen and Neletjen had 7 children, all girls: Lijsken, Teuntje, Dingentke, Marie, Anneke and Wouterke (twice). The oldest two girls were named after their grandmothers.
Ariaen likely died between August 1678 and May 1684. Cornelia’s death was recorded on 5 September 1704 in Vrijhoeve-Capelle.

Adriaen Wouters “de Jonge” Visscher was baptized on 29 May 1635 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle. He was later known as Adriaen or Arien “de Jonge”. He is a son of his father’s third marriage to Anneken, a daughter of Tielman Jacops and Adriaentken Oerlemans. Anneken was widow of Adriaen Dircks “den Ouden” van Clootwijck and had a daughter Adriaentken van Clootwijck. Anneke’s first husband had a brother with the same name, too, and they both had the same parents, while their grandfathers were both named Adriaen.
Arien “de Jonge” was married on 26 December 1667 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle to Anneke Adriaense van Tilborgh, an elder sister of Neeltjen. Anneke was baptized on 11 January 1632 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle with the same witness as Neeltjen. Anneken was already 35 year old at the time of her marriage, and she had no known children. After Arien’s death, recorded on 23 September 1681 in ‘s-Grevelduin-Capelle, Anneken took a second husband, Jost Smits, in 1684. Anneke’s death is recorded in Vrijhoeve-Capelle on 7 April 1699.
