Biography

Hermen married 1 Griet Jacobs Buijsman. Children: Alijt (1677), Pieter (1680-81), Pieter (1684, married Griet Jans Prins).

Hermen married 2 Vrouke Willems on March 25 1691. Children: Griet (April 13 1692), Anne (Sept 6 1693), Trijn (Oct 17 1694), Willem (Aug 19 1696), Griet (March 9 1698), Marij (March 14 1700), Trijn (April 9 1702), Willem (Aug 1 1706).

In 1723 Herman was living in Krimpen where he was born, so he probably inherited his father’s farm. According to one record, Griet died in 1693. Sometimes Herman’s surname is listed as Koks instead of Kort. I found no connection between the two families. Kort means "short".

It seems that Hermen Pietersz Decker and Hermen Pietersz Kort are the same person. And yet there are signs they might not be the same person.

Harmen Decker and Vrouwke Willems had a daughter Griet baptized on April 13 1702. Hermen Decker buried a child in 1695; Harmen Pietersz Decker died on November 18 1706. But then Hermen Pietersz Kort died on May 19 1732, buried May 22 (Pieter Hermonsz buried him).

2 men named Hermen Pietersz made profession of faith in the Buurtjeskerk: the first on November 1 1676, along with Jan Teeuwisz Prinsz and his wife Aaf Claas. All three were from Broekoort. On Nov. 11 1703 Hermen Pietersz, young man from Krimpen, made profession of faith. And on Feb 1 1705 Herman Pietersz Swagerman and his wife from Krimpen made profession of faith. This third Herman always has Swagerman on the end of his name, leaving just 2 Hermen Pietersz' to be confused by.

I would be tempted to say that these two Hermen Pietersz' are two different people. Ours would have married Griet Jacobs while the other married Vrouke Willems. There are, however, some problems with this. First, the Herman who married Vrouke was a widower while the Herman who made profession of faith in 1703 was still a young unmarried man 12 years after he would have married Vrouke. Secondly, while Hermen and Griet had a daughter with Herman's mother's name, Hermen and Vrouke had 2 daughters with Hermen's grandmothers' names. Thirdly, Hermen's sister Geert gave the name Dekker to her husband Pieter Nannesz Kuijper, suggesting the name Dekker comes from at least one generation further back. So we really don't know who this Herman Pietersz Dekker is who died in 1706. It's very possible the original report has an error in it and it should say the child of Herman Pietersz Dekker.
