On 20 January 1788 she married Martinus Swinkels. The marriage took place in Leende.[2] They had three children:
- Jacoba Swinkels (1789-1825)
- Hendriena Swinkels (1791-1827)
- Henricus Swinkels (1794-?)
Maria was a farmer.[3]
Her husband Martinus passed away in 1812, leaving Maria a widow.[4] Maria passed away on 1 July 1820 in Leende at the age of 64.[3]
Research Notes
- Maria was baptized on 30 January 1756.[1] In these times children were baptized as soon after birth as possible, to prevent that the child would die unbaptized (and could not go to heaven). Hence Maria would have been born on 30 January 1756 or in the days before.
