Johan Berentss. Berent Brascamp van Geesteren s.
Johan Brascamp married in 1617 with Geertruijt Hermans. The book of marriages of Zutphen, 1617, reads:
Acciperunt 3 maij testimonium proclamationum ut copularentur in Voorst Johan Berentss. Berent Brascamp van Geesteren s. Geertruijt Hermans, Herman Gerritss. to Boecholt d.
Or: On 3 May accepted a testimonium and announcement to marry at Voorst: Johan, son of Berent Brascamp from Geesteren Geertuijt, daughter of Herman Gerritss. from Boecholt (Bocholt, Germany, close to the Dutch border). This is the oldest finding of a Brascamp and Berent is the oldest Brascamp, born about 1560. He is one generation further removed than generation 1 in the family tree.

Engelbert Brascamp
Engelbert Brascamp was mentioned in the book of baptisms of Borculo when his grandson, also called Engelbert, was baptised. It reads:
Eadem Dm heft Wolter Brascamp een Ventjen doopen ende Engelbert nae sijn s Vader noemen laten. Ipsemet obtulit
Which means: This same Sunday Wolter Brascamp had baptised a boy and had him named Engelbert after his late father. He carried him himself. This same Sunday was Dominica Sexagesima, the eighth Sunday before Easter. This was 17 February 1661; Borculo was still using the Julian calendar at that time.

Goossen Brascamp
Goossen Brascamp is assumed to be the first child of third generation Engelbert Brascamp. Engelbert had 7 children, six of them baptised in Twello. Goossen's baptism was not found in the book of baptisms of Twello. The proof that Goossen is a son of Engelbert follows from an arrest in Wijhe related to the weighing of oak for which Goossen used illegal instruments. The arrest from 1707 is a very long story and the verdict is not known. The full text looks quite promising for Goossen, however. A small piece of the text reads:
Waar op ter instantie van Gosen Brascamp, soon van Custos Engelbert Brascamp in Twello na voor gaande arrest en Gerigtelijke citatie onder Eede verhoort en geexamineert mogen worden Gerrit Van der Vegt en Steven Kruin
Which means: Where on behalf of Gosen Brascamp, son of sexton Engelbert Brascamp in Twello, after the earlier arrest and judicial citation can be heard and examined under oath Gerrit Van der Vegt and Steven Kruin. The latter were the two gentlemen who sold and bought the oak which was weighted by Goossen Brascamp. They testified to be very happy with Goossen's work.

Het huwelijk vond plaats 19-10-1662 en hun eerste kind, Henrick, werd geboren 11-1-1663. Kennelijk moest het duo trouwen. Uit bovenstaande tekst lijkt te volgen dat Aelbert al bij Willem inwoonde en misschien was zij werkzaam bij het echtpaar Reverdinck-Bennekers, in haar ouderlijk huis.
Willem gaf op 25-10-1662 Geert Floors de klap in zijn gezicht. Dit was krap een week na het huwelijk en met een beetje fantasie mag je aannemen dat Geert een beledigende opmerking maakte over het gedwongen huwelijk met Aelbert. Aelbert zat aan een tafel in de kroeg en Willem kwam met twee kommen bier aanlopen. Geert zei wat en Willem gaf in één beweging een kom bier aan zijn vrouw en sloeg met de ander Geert in zijn gezicht. Je ziet het voor je.

The text above refers to Willem Reverdinck -called Willem Braskamp. He probably was initially working as a farmers aid with Willem Braskamp and Hendricksken Bennekers, at the farm "Braskamp". After Willem's death he married on 5 December 1660 the widdow Braskamp. They probably stayed at the same farm. When Hendricksken died after about one and a half years Willem married Aelbert Braskamp, who was a sister in law of late Hendricksken and a sister of the late Willem Braskamp.
This marriage took place 19 October 1662 and their first child, called Henrick, was born 11 January 1663. Apparently it was shotgun wedding. From the text it seems to follow that Aelbert already lived with Willem under one roof and perhaps she worked with the couple Reverdinck-Bennekers on the parental farm.
The text tells about the fact that on 25 October 1662 Willem hit a person called Geert Floors in his face with a cup of beer. This incident took place less than a week after the marriage and with a tiny bit of imagination one may assume that Geert made an insulting remark about the forced marriage with Aelbert. Aelbert was sitting at a table in a pub and Willem came from the bar with two half pints of beer. Geert made his remark and in one move Willem offered one pint to his wife and with the other he hit Geert in his face. Just imagine.
