Biography

"In 1607 Evert Benedictus is mentioned as guardian of the late Pieter Benedictus' son at Boerum. He was appointed as such on August 25th. His fellow guardian was Taecke Eues at Oosterlittens. And in 1604 Evert, Pieter and Jelijs, sons of Benedictus and as uncles defended the rights of the six children of the late Willem Benedictus from the Stienharst (name of a farm?) near Lytsewald in a legal dispute with Auck Tialledr, the widow, then married to Dirck Hendricx. Jelijs Benedictus who is called 'bedienaar van het Goddelijke Woord te Boesum' (= minister of the Divine Word at Boesum), wasn't able to be present, but Evert and Pieter had his proxy. In 1614 Jelis Benedictus -he himself signed: Gellius Accronius- became guardian of the children of He(e)rcke Greolts and Tyed Benedictusdr at Himpens. Obviously he had succeeded his brother Evert to this position after the latter's death. His widow Trijn Wesseldr accounted for her husband's guardianship in 1615. Jelijs Benedictus, minister at Boazum, had also become guardian in 1600 of the children of Rintze Sybes and the late Barber Wesselsdr, living on the Nijland (=new land) at Boerum. Some of the sons of that Boazumer minister later became ministers too. But it hasn't become clear why Jelis and his sons named themselves Ac(c)ronius. One of the sons of Tyed Benedictusdr was a certain Ruerd. Are these links with Ruerd Bernardus Acroniuss, who ~~as a minister at Britsum from 1580 till 1599 ? According to the genealogical rp.gister Ruerd's father may be a son of Joannes Acronius,professor of medicine in Basel (deceased 1563 in Basel) ,who was born at Akkrum~ But only Jelijs Benedicti and his descendants used the surname Acronius. However if you know that the three brothers Willem, Pieter and Syurdt Benedictus each lived on a farm in Kollumerland, a fourth brother at Agum and a sister at Himpens, it is easy to picture a father who lived or had lived in Kollumerland and had connections with the region around Leeuwarden. And in that case there is one Benedictus who answers this biographical sketch, viz. Benedictus Jacobs. This man was born on the Nieuweland (=new land) near Leeuwarden as the son of Jacob Harmens and Bot Hennedr." ^[1]
