Jan VanderSchaeve Male

Born: 1516
Died: 1556    

Comments: The following is from Roel Struyve:

He was also Buitenpoorter van Kortrijk at Sint-Baafs-Vijve, and after his death in 1556 his wife inherited this status.  Since Jan died before his child reached adulthood his possessions were registered to secure them for his son.  There were always two guardians appointed, one from father's side of the family and one from mother's side.  In this case Jan Vander Schaeve son of Wouter (the grandfather of the orphan) was appointed as guardian and succeeded on 17 april 1559 (afther his death) by Lieven Vander Schaeve (uncle of the orphan).  Both of them lived in Sint-Eloois-Vijve.  The orphan inherited pieces of land in Zulte and Waregem.  Also afther the death of his grandfather he inherited a farmhouse in the centre of the village of Sint-Eloois-Vijve called "De Lelie" (the Lily).  (So this would have been the oldest known home of your ancestors Pete) .
