Here we find the only instance of the name Noë
preceded by "De" and this prefix was dropped later.
Martinus Greyp and Cecilia Biebuyck were his godparents.
He was 43 years old when he married in Bassevelde with Maria Anna Verhelst, the daughter of Petrus Verhelst and Joanna Laurentia Mussche. Their wedding was on the second day in the month of May in the year 1798. She was no doubt 15 to 20 years younger than her husband.
They farmed in the Moerstraat in Kaprijke where Maria Anna gave birth to 8 children.
The youngest of these children was only 14 months old when Martinus died in Kaprijke on 8/10/1814.
Their children:
