THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, by Alexander C Flick, 1943, p 8-9: "PIETER BIBAU [6653-2381/2383], son of Symoen Bibau [6645-2369], No. 7, and Catherine [6646-2369], born before 1616, was the only one of the children of Simoen Bibau who remained all his life at Thielt. He was, as had been his father before him, collector for the poor of the Bilkbosch district from 1644-1646 (listed as Pieter bibau zone van simoen). He is the father of the progenitor of the American family. He married twice. His first wife was MARIA VERKINDEREN [6674-2381], whom he married at Thielt (Roman Cath.) July 14, 1630: Petrus Bibau filius Simonis et Maria Verkinderen filia Peter, Testibus Petri bibau senior (relationship unknown, no brother of Simoen who only had a sister) et Joe Seckaers. She died at the birth of her child, the American progenitor, Jan. 31, 1647: Maria Verkinderen uxor Petri bibau enfanti nato, mortae. Pieter Bibau married as his second wife JOSYNA VAN BESBRUGGE [6671-2383], the daughter of Rijchaert van Besbrugge [6678-2382]. At the time of her marriage to Pieter Bibau she was the widow of MAURIT LOTENS [6670-2380]. In the Aardenburg Orphan Chamber record, quoted above, we have mentioned the property near Moerkercke which belonged to Pieter. The heirs of Pieter bibau made an agreement in regard to this property with Pieter's step-children Loten on January 24, 1683, before Notary Public Abraham de Rijcke at Aarden (Reg. NO. 416). 'Pieter Beheyt [6681-2385] as husband of Maria Bebout [6676-2385/3021], heir of Pieter Bibou [6653-2381/2383] her father, deceased at Thielt, makes an agreement with Laureys fs. Maurits Lootens [6670-2380] and the latter's brother-in-law Jan Andries, the husband of Mary Lotens, his (Laureys) sister, in regard to a house and land in the parish of Moerkercke, which property belonged to Pieter Bibou at the time of his second marriage to Josyne [6671-2383] fa. Rijckaert van Besbrugge (widow of Maurits Lotens). It is agreed that the two Lotens children shall pay to the Bibaus 400 Carolus guldens and the money received from the sale of the property shall belong to the Lotens children and to Josyna van Besbrugge.' And again on Dec. 10, 1683, before the same notary they make another agreement coverning property situated north of Thielt. 'Pieter Beheyt [6681-2385] and Louwreys Loten make an agreement in regard to a property of about 25 bunders situated in Thielt outside of the Schuyers capelle (Schuyffers capelle) named Hulswale, which belongs to the estate of Pieter Bybau.' Pieter Bybau died in 1679 and was bur. Thielt. Nov. 10, 1679: sepulti sunt. . . Petrus bibau. On Nov. 20, 1679, his two children make the following agreement before Notary Public A.

'On Nov. 20, 1679 appeared the honorable pieter Beheyt [6678-2382], merchant and burgher of Aardenburg, husband of Maria fa (filia, daughter) Pieter Bibou [6653-2381/2383] and the honorable Jan fa (filius) the aforementioned Bibou (Jan va den voornoemden Bibou), being of age and living in in the parish of Thielt in Flanders but being at present in this city.

THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, by Alexander C Flick, 1943, pp 03-06: "SYMOEN BIBAU, son of Symoen Bibau [6636-2368/2370] and Betkin Neerynex [6642-2368], was born at Thielt prior to 1582, and was in 1589 still a minor, which follows from the above-quoted inventory [Alexander Bibau 6634-2365]. He married CATHERINA [6646-2369], whose surname is not yet evident from the records." Ibid. "Simeon Bibau died prior to July 17, 1647, for on that date, before Notary Public Cant at Sluys (inv. 1832 MIDDELBURG ARCHIVES), Paulus Mehoude, farmer at Cadsand, for himself and as guardian of the orphans of the late Symon Bybau, gives power of attorney to Jan Bibau, farmer at Heyle, to collect the rents which are in arrears from Anth. Vinckers at Maldeghem on account of leased lands in the parish of Moerkerke and elsewhere."

He was married twice, (1) to BETKIN NEERYNEX [6642-2368], dau. of Daniel. She died in August, 1582, which is proven by the inventory of her estate made by Symoen's second wife on April 30, 1596, in which it is stated that Symoen had not made the inventory at the time of Betkin Neerynex's death in 1582, door de trouble van oirloghe (on account of the war). He mar (2) ANNA (JANNEKEN OR TANNEKEN) WATERLOOS [6644-2370] dau. of Anthoni [6643-2367]. From the inventory already quoted several times, we learn further that Symoen had died before April 30, 1596 (probably shortly before that date), and had left two minor children, Symoentken [6645-2369] and Janneken [8528], both children by his first wife. The estate owes money borrowed for Symoen's ransom when he was a prisoner at Ghent in 1580, possibly for political reasons during the war. The estate was not 'accepted' by the orphans, as these according to Dutch law would have become responsible for all debts of the estate even in case the estate should prove to be insolvent. The war was ravaging Flanders, and it would seem that Symoen Bybau was one of the unfortunate victims of the vicissitudes of the time. Anna Waterloos d. Thielt Aug. 21, 1636."

Symoen married Betkin Neerynex Thielt, Flanders. Betkin was born , Thielt, Flanders; died Aug 1582, Thielt, Flanders. [Group Sheet]

THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, by Alexander C Flick, p 03: "ALEXANDER BIBAU, who lived in or near Thielt and died prior to Aug. 1582. This follows from an inventory dated April 30, 1596 (City Arch. Thielt, weserye or orphan-chamber) in which is also included the inventory of Sander's (Alexander's) daughter-in-law, Betkin Neerynex [6642-2368], as of 1582, in which is mentioned the sterfhuis, house or estate of the deceased Sander Bibau. From the inventory it appears that Sander was the owner at Vossepitte under Sweveseele of a dwelling, woodland, 36 measures of land under cultivation, a parcel of marshland and a field. The property was mortgaged to Jacob de Keukelaer. His wife's name was in all probability JENNEKE SMEYERS [6635-2365], who had also died prior to 1582; for again according to the same inventory, which is a most important document for the determination of the older generations, Sander's son Symoen [6636-2368/2370] had sold the property of the late Jenneken Smeyers, situated at Ruysselede (in the parish of Ruusle), which consisted of een meerschelken, groot twee lijn (small marsh of 100 sq. rods), and a parcel of land as measured by the surveyor Jan Vrombout on Aug. 25, 1581. He had in interest in this property on account of his mother's death. (It does not state specifically that Jenneke Smeyers is this mother, although there is hardly any doubt that this is the case.) Sander Bibau must have had 8 children, for his son Symoen inherits 1/8 part of the property at Vossepitte, mentioned before."

Alexander married Jenneke Smeyers Bef 1582. Jenneke was born Abt 1558, Thielt, Flanders. [Group Sheet]
