Married VR 1721, data on this marriage and lineage of groom & bride comes from research by English genealogists, and is collected mainly from info on a trustfund Nathan Simson of Germany, Holland, England and America (a lengthy biography of which exists on the int ernet) set up for the his poor relatives and those of his spouse Duyfie Schabracq, and ensuing lengthy court proceedings with the fund board by Defriez descendants until 1884. All records of payments between 1730 and 1884 have been preserved.
