- THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICAN, by Alexander C Flick, 1943, p 03: "SYMOEN BYBAU (son of Alexander No. 1 [6634-2368]. 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."
