The following was given by Roel Struyve:
Something interesting about your ancestor Joos (Joseph)
Vanderschaeghe (the baker) (Note that his name in some sources is written as Joos (which is short Flemish for the Latin name of Judocus which he was baptised with) and sometimes as Joseph.  Actually Joseph is not the same name as Joos but as you can tell the pronunciation is quite similar.
Spelling of names in those days was very relative.  People often wrote down
names the way they pronounced them, so names often got changed, mixed up and evolved.)  in a trial against Anselmus Van Eenoo in 1746.  This Anselmus obtained himself a criminal track record containing theft, assault and battery...  Belonging to a big family in rural Wingene, a clan as it were,
he could get away with it from 1734 untill his arrest in 1746, when he was
subsequently sentenced in Kortrijk to public flogging and brandishing
(literally) and he was exiled from Flanders.  (Rather interesting
punishments in those days eh.....)  (He ended up working on the ships of the
Dutch East-Indies trading company (VOC), operating on their trade routes to South-East-Asia).  What does this criminal have to do with your ancestor?
Joos Vanderschaeghe and his wife Mary Catharina De Vriese appear as 2 out of the 22 people who took an oath and laid down a deposition.  Joos had been neighbours with Anselmus for 8 yrs in which they shared a "common
farmplace".  (We probably have to imagine houses build round a common well) During these years, Joos testified, that he, his late wife and his children
had been terrorised by Anselmus.  Van Eenoo didn't only attack him on a
number of occasions, but he had also on at least 3 occasions beaten Joos'
first wife and throwing her out of her house while pulling her out of the
house by her hair and kicking her.  Also the children had been beaten!
Everytime Joos hadn't been at home and couldn't prevent that Van Eenoo
entered his empty house and smashed everything.  At another occasion
Anselmus had beaten up another person in Joos' house.  The lady of the house tried to intervene but again was kicked, beaten and dragged out of the house by her hair.  A big part of the household items got smashed to pieces.
Finally Anselmus got hold of his "prey" by the hair and refused to let go.
Even Anselmus mother could convince him of letting the victim go.  Finally
they had to cut the hair of the victim to release him from the hold of his
agressor.  But even Anselmus own mother got knocked to the grond by him. She landed on a pile of bricks near the frontdoor and her arm got dislocated so she couldn't use it for many months...
(The list of crimes goes on and on in the article....  I just pick out the
things that interest us in the context of your family history)
Marie Catharine De Vriese stated however that Anselmus could readily support his family (although he was more often seen drinking and playing in an inn rather than working). Rumours enough of the thefts Anselmus had a hand in.
Joos, being Anselmus neighbour, could testify to that: it had often happened
that his wood, potatoes and other goods had disappeared from his "outher cellars".  On the early Saturdaymorning after Easter 1745 (24th of April) Frans De Vriese (brother in law and farmhand of Joos) had together with a maid caught Anselmus redhanded.  But by the time they had informed Joos, Anselmus had already escaped.  Looking at the date this seems to have been the proverbial final straw since Joos Vanderschaeghe moved in mei 1745 probably to finally lead a normal life.  He reopened his bakery in Tielt.
Although Joos Vanderschaeghe was a member of the council of 3
"heerlijkheden" (Poelvoorde, Hauweelsche and Oyghem) it never seemed to have been an option to involve the law.  Neither was it for the other victims. Why?  Was it because people were more solidary with each other?  Or was it because in the little 18th century village community, people knew each other from birth untill the grave that they tolerated more?  Maybe they wanted to solve their own problems amongst themselves, sometimes by fist?  Anyhow Joos
moved to Tielt in mei 1745 with his family and he applied for  "poorterschap" of the city of Tielt wich he got 13th of feb.1746.

He became a monk and abbot of a monastery in Tielt, where he died.

From Roel Struyve:
In the book "De Fransche Revolutie in Vlaanderen en in 't bijzonder te Thielt" by Joseph Samyn. (reprint of a 1889 book) we find on page 220 : Rev. Brother Joannes-Baptista Vander Schaeghe was born in Wingene in 1733.  He was arrested at Thielt and brought to the "rasphuis" (name of the jail) in Brugge.  On December 29th 1799 he got his freedom back and returned to Thielt, where he took his residence with M. Devolder, stoker (brewer).  Mr. Van Bavegem, mistakenly writes Vander Schraegen in "Het Martelaarsboek"

Some explanation: we are talking of the times just after the French Revolution and during the French Occupation/Annexation of Flanders. (so people in Flanders were officially French citizens).  All monasteries and religious orders were abolished, churches closed and all religious property, possessions artifacts and furniture sold to the highest bidder.  Basically the whole of the catholic church was abolished and suppressed.  All clergy had to take an oath of "hatred to the King and allegiance to the Republic";  Most of the clergy refused to take this oath.  JB Vander Schaeghe was arrested in this aspect.
What is interesting as well is that he "regained his freedom on december 29th" which was his 67th birthday.  Not clear if this is coincidence or if this has something to do with his release?
