The marriages of Rebecca Heijndrix de Swart in Rotterdam

Rebecca Heijndrix first married Bartholomeus Willems Kerver - also Kurver or Korver - on 10 October 1700 in Rotterdam. Both originated from Rotterdam, and they hadn’t been married before. Bartholomeus is a son of Marijtje Bartelemees Hardewil and her husband Willem Gijsbertse.
Bartholomeus died in 1701; his widow Rebecca had a posthumous daughter named Barta baptised on 16 October 1701 in Rotterdam with witnesses Willem Kerver and Marijtje Hardewil.

Just 1 month after the baptism of her child, Rebecca de Swart had her intention to remarry registered on 20 November in Rotterdam. The groom was François Picaart, a young man born in Leyden, and living in The Hague. The couple were married on 4 December 1701 in Rotterdam.

Rebecca de Swart, widow of François Picaart, had her intention to marry widower Jan Stolk registered on 4 November 1708 in Rotterdam. Jan was living there in the Goudse Wagestraat.
“Rebekka Stolk” - likely Rebecca de Swart, wife of Jan Stolk - was a witness at the baptism of Marijtje, daughter of Jan Jansz. Stolk and his wife Lena on 7 March 1717 in Overschie. At their marriage - and with some of the baptisms - that Jan's wife is named Lena Ariens van Schie.
Rebecca was likely married to Jan Cornelisz "The Younger" Stolk, widower of Maertje Pleunen. That Jan was a son of Cornelis Jansz. Stolckman - also Stollick - who originated in Zevenhuizen, Holland.

On 31 August 1719 in Rotterdam, Rebecka de Swart, Jan Stolck and Seselia Engelen were witnesses at the baptism of Anna, daughter of Hester de Swart and Johannes van Engelen, who were living in the Leeuwestraat.

Jan Stolk, husband of Rebekka de Swart, was buried on 27 January 1752 in Rotterdam. Rebekka de Swart, widow of Jan Stolk, was buried in Rotterdam on 26 May 1758.
