- THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, by Alexander C Flick, 1943, Chapter 1, p 06: "JASPER BIBAU, is undoubtedly the oldest son, for the inventory of his estate, dated Dec. 3, 1655 (MUNICIPAL ARCH. Thielt) discloses that he had inherited the old homestead near Thielt and that he had succeeded his father as tenant-in-tenure of the property near Thielt, both described above. He was born prior to 1616 and died before Dec. 3, 1655 (the date of the inventory of his estate). On May 15, 1656, Paulus Mehoude [6669-2379], his brother-in-law, was appointed guardian over Daniel Aeme [6664], Jasper's and Paulus's nephew, in his stead. Jasper lived first at Thielt, zerk Rollecot, and owned considerable property in that general vicinity. Here his children were born, but in 1652 he settled at Heyle, in the immediate vicinity of Aardenburg. His wife was TANNEKE LOOTEN(s) [6654-2371], whom he married at Wingene in April, 1629."* FOOTNOTE * "We shall meet this name again under NO. 9. It is possibly the same family as mentioned in RECORD 57:376. This family, which became prominent in Amsterdam, Netherlands, descends from Direk Loten, born at Hondschoote, Flanders, abt. 1545. He fled from there, as the story goes, carrying his brother's son (Nicholas, s. of Jacob L.) in a basket on his back. He finally settled at Aardenburg, where he was a brewer. He served the city of his adoption as a tax collector, but subsequently settled at Leyden, where he died a wealthy man. One of his descendants was Carel Loten, one of the early Directors and principal shareholder of the West India Company. Direk, just mentioned, left a son Direk Loten of whom nothing further is known and who may possibly be connected with Direk Looten who was in 1659 clerk in the Secretary's office in New Amsterdam and in 1661 commissary of stores. He mar. in New York in 1664 and is called at his marriage 'j.m. from Rean (?).'"
