The religion of de family VAN DEN HOOGEN

Apart from an exception or two all the persons with the surname VAN DEN HOOGEN that were born in the eastern part of North Brabant, are baptized or married Roman Catholic. Apart from an exception or two, for in the Dutch Reformed Marriage Register in Grave two couples with the surname VAN DEN HOOGEN are mentioned that got married Dutch Reformed. One of these married couples can indirectly be found as being the granddaughter (Dirriske Clomp) of my farthest known ancestor, who got married to Martinus Teewes van den Hoogen. Please see below a short summary of the genealogy of my farthest known ancestor. Under II-c: the Dirriske Clomp described above is mentioned as a child.

Certificate of marriage Dirriske Clomp and Martinus van den Hoogen (Grave on June 29, 1659).

The second married couple, who got married Dutch Reformed, are Anna van Steenvoort and Hermanus van den Hoogen.

Certificate of marriage Hermanus van den Hoogen and Anna van Steenvoort (Grave on February 2, 1698).

Of this Hermanus van den Hoogen no relation has been found until now, with the other bearers of the name, but certain is that this Hermanus has had contacts with the other bearers of the name and their relations by marriage in Reek. This is evident from the various legal instruments, in which they are mentioned. In a settlement of annuity from  July 6, 1711, which is mentioned below an example can be found.
