de Hunger - Noordijk

As far as I know all Hungerink's living now stem from Catharina Hungerink. She lived around 1750 on "de Hunger" also known as "Hungerink" in Noordijk. Although there were of old a "Hungerink" in Stokkum and one in Eefde, both with references from the end of the 15th century, it is assumed the one in Noordijk was the oldest. Probably the other two, just as more recent ones, were founded by Hungerink's from Noordijk.

According to records from the 12th century the Noble Nunnery of Ueberwasser, Münster, possessed the "Hof te Neede", the Garden of Neede. It comprised three farmyards in Neede and one in Stokkum. This very old relationship between the two villages give rise to speculations the two Hunger's were somehow connected. The farm in Stokkum could have been founded by a Hungerink from Noordijk, and the families would then be related. Since this relation would go back to before 1475 it is unlikely any proof could be found.

1341: Gaat Hungerink marries Geesken te Lintelo.

From 1623 onwards, starting with the record of the marriage between Johan Hungerinck and Trine Bennekers data from Neede/Noordijk on birth, christening, church membership, marriage and death become to ever larger extend available.

On February 7 1630, seven years after his first marriage, Johan Hungerinck marries again, after Trine had died probably at the birth of a child. The bride is Liesbet Gardinck. Derck Hungerinck, who became a church member in 1656 was most likely their son.

The first Hungerinck that was mentioned to live on de Hunger is Jan, who became a church member in 1682. Would he have been a son of Derck who married three times, in 1667. 1671 and 1678, named after his grandfather Johan, or was he a son of Johan directly? Some things have yet to be cleared up here.

So the recorded history of the inhabitants of "de Hunger" starts with Jan Hungerinck, born around 1660. Around 1695 he married Dercksken Harperinck. They are the parents of Egbert whose marriage contract of 1720 with Machtelt Veldincks is preserved. See it here.

Egbert and Megtelt did not get a son to take over the farm. Their daughter Catharina married in 1751 with Garrit Hennink, who came from Markvelde to live with her on "de Hunger". The name of the farm was most important, so Hennink was soon known as Hungerink. Changing one's name to that of the farm remained possible until 1811 when a law by Napoleon enforced everybody to have a fixed surname. Already at the birth of their first child, Hendrik, he signed as Hungerink. Five more children were born, of whom Arend Derk remained on "de Hunger", Jan went to "de Harper" nearby, while Hendrik went to "de Garver" in Haarlo. The currently living Hungerink's either stem from Arend Derk, or from Jan. "de Harper" would remain in possession of the Hungerink's until 1908 when Gerrit Jan sold it to start a shop in Lochem. "de Garver" remained with Hungerink until around 1965 when it was sold by bachelor brother and sister Arend Derk and Gerritjen.

This stone found at de Hunger reads "CH 1776".
It might be in remembrance of Catharina's death. More about it here.

Arend Derk on "de Hunger" married in 1783 with Geertjen Groothuis. They got a son Hendrik, who would eventually go to "de Garver" where there were no descendants to Hendrik's son. Arend Derk had already died in 1787 when his daughter Arendina was christened. Geertjen stayed on "de Hunger" and in 1796 married for the second time. Her husband Egbert te Paste came to live with her on "de Hunger".

So the farm had now gone to "te Paste". Hendrik Jan te Paste, son of Egbert and Geertjen married in 1836 with Catharina Dave, but they did not get children. A sister of Catharina Dave, Janna Geertruida, in the mean time had married Albert Hennink in 1820, Albert being a son of Hendrik Jan Hennink and Catharina Hungerink, daughter of Jan on "de Harper" and granddaughter of Catharina Hungerink on "de Hunger", as mentioned above. Their son Gerrit Willem Hennink born in 1870 was raised by the family on "de Hunger" since his parents deceased early.

Gerrit Willem Hennink married in 1891 with Johanna Hendrika Haytink. He took over and so "de Hunger" would get its second Hennink inhabitant. Their son Albert stayed on "de Hunger" and in 1929 married Johanna Geertruida Berendina Hungerink, a descendant of the Arend Derk that went to "de Garver". After 178 years "de Hunger" was again in the hands of a couple Hennink-Hungerink, this time Hennink will have to keep to his surname.

When I visited the family in 1985, Albert and Johanna's son Evert Lambertus Hennink had already taken over. He had married with Janna W. Hebbink in 1954. Their son Hendrik Albert Hennink was born in 1960 and is the current (2008) owner of de Hunger.
