Who are the parents of Conrard Nijpels of Maastricht ?

Among the ancestors of the Beltman family in Amersfoort is the Nijpels family in Maastricht. One of them is Conrard Nijpels who married Marguerite Dreesens.
They had at least five children:

  1. Andreas Nijpels was baptised on 12 January 1720 in Maastricht with witness Christin Nijpels who was replaced by Isabella Nijpels.
  2. Leonard Nijpels was baptised on 24 September 1723 in Maastricht with witnesses Leonard Nijst and Christina Nijpels.
  3. Henricus Martinus Nijpels was baptised on 11 November 1728 in Maastricht with witnesses Henricus Dreesens and Maria Meijs. His wife is Anna Ida van Heylerhoff. He died on 15 August 1816 in Maastricht, aged 87.
  4. Christina Nijpels was baptised on 25 January 1726 in Maastricht with witnesses Sebastiaen Paesch and Maria Catharina Nijpels.
  5. Marie Christine Nijpels was baptised on 20 February 1722 in Maastricht with witnesses Joachim de Helmer and Christin Nijst. She married Paul Reijniers and had at least two children. Paul Reijniers, his wife and merchant Pieter Reijniers were mentioned together in a notarial deed dated 29-1-1803 in Breda. Marie Christine died on 17 November 1811 in Maastricht, aged 89.
    She is the mother of
    1. Petrus Dominicus Martinus Reijniers who was born around 1765. He died on 9 January 1835 in Maastricht, aged 69. 
    2. Maria Margaretha Reijniers who was born on 24-3-1758 in Mheer (a village southeast of Maastricht). Maria was married in Mheer on 20 October 1785 to  Jacobus Frederic Franciscus (Jacob Frederic Frans) de Borman. He was born on 17 August 1761 in Mheer. His parents are François Adrien Alexandre (François-Adrien) de Borman en Maria Jacqueline Angeline Coomans. Jacob was the mayor of Bree in Belgium. He died in Bree in 1797. His widow died in Mheer on 12 July 1848, aged 90. Their daughter Maria Elisabeth Francisca de Borman (1792-1866) married Matthieu Ferdinand Goossens (1791-1869).

In the 17th century the Nijpels family had at least two male members named Conrard and both had a father named Guilielm (“Willem”) and a mother named Maria:

  1. One Conrard Nijpels was baptised on 12 May 1691 in Maastricht - as son of Guilielm Nijpels, baptised on 10 November 1641 in Maastricht, and married there on 25 June 1672 to Maria Haenen.
  2. Another Conrard Nijpels was baptised on 25 January 1665 in Maastricht - as son of Guilielm Nijpels, baptised on 8 Janury 1620 in Maastricht, and his wife Maria Brouwers. This Conrad was married on 9 January 1687 to Maria Wijnandts.

In 1739 in Maastricht, Conrard Nijpels represented Hendrik Nijpels. The younger Conrard did have a brother named Hendrik Dominicus. It's possible that the elder Conrard remarried, and lived to a quite old age, but my bed is on the younger Conrard as the husband of Marguerite Dreesens.

Since the elder Conrard is an uncle of the younger Conrard, both are descended from Guilielm Nijpels and his wife Christina Spauwen (who were married in 1613), and Reyner Nypels and his wife Elisabeth Bals (who were married in 1581).
