Biography

Jan Lokermans/Loockermans was born in Turnhout (Flanders, Belgium) in 1611. He is believed to have been a a barber-surgeon. He married Catharina Degruyter in Turnhout on April 27, 1631. She died in 1636.[1]

He died in 1648 and his estate was liquidated that same year. He left a widow, identified in estate liquidation documents as Mayken Leonarts, from Mierde. He was deeply in debt at the time of his death. His great-uncles Goyvaert and Thomas Lokermans were appointed as guardians to his three minor children, Jacobus, Petrus, and Jan.[2]

His sons Jacobus (Jacob) and Petrus (Pieter) emigrated to New Netherland, probably sailing in 1651 in the company of their uncle, Govert Loockermans.[3]
