MEERTEN VAN ARENDONK, bc 1600 of Herwijnen, he appears to have d aft Jul 1670.
There were two Meertens in Herwijnen who appear to have been about the same age, living and having families in Herwijnen about the same time. (The other was Maerten Ariens de Jongh discussed at A-III-s.) The name of Meerten van Arendonk's father has not as yet been discovered. It is possible that he was the Marten Arissen, j.m. of Herwijnen who m there on 14 Mar 1627 to Mariken Jans, j.d. of Herwijnen. He did have two granddaughters who were given the name Mariken and besides having a son Jan, he also appears to have had a son named Arien:
Jan, Arien and Laurens Meetens van Arendonk together with Hendik Meertens de Jongh each held an undivided interest in a certain property in Herwijnen in the 1680s. Hendrik de Jongh's interest in this property may have been a result of his marriage a few years before to Corstiaan Meertens van Arendonk's widow Barbara Valken. Jan Meertens' widow subsequently transferred this property in two parcels, one to Gerrit Hendriks Verploegh and the other to Meerten van Arendonk, they held the rights to these properties in 1746. By 1778 both lots were in the possession of Hendrik Gerrits Verploegh. (Polder Records, LDS film #0875820)
The absence of Heelken, Gerrit and Peter in the above mentioned polder record seems odd. The brothers Peter and Gerrit are found, again in those polder records, with an undivided interest together with a child(ren) of Abraham Cornelisse [van Diest]. Abraham van Diest being their brother-in-law having married Heelken Meertense some years earlier. These facts seem to indicate the possibility that their father may have been married twice.
Meerten is found as a witness to the baptism of two of his granddaughter: On 4 Oct 1668 for Marij Petersdr van Arendonk and on 31 Jul 1670 for Marike Corstiaensdr [van Arendonk].
