Jan was Buitenpoorter of Kortrijk at Sint-Eloois-Vijve from 1558-1607, after his death his wife Tanne from 1608-1630. When Jan died they had to divide his inheritance among his wife and 8 children: Guillebert (male) °1589, Cathelijne (female) °1595, Josijne (female) °1595, Gillis (male) °1600, Jaspard (male) °1600, Pierijne (female) °1600, Jorijne (female) °1604, Jacquemijne (female) °1604. Joos Vander Scaeghen son of Lieven was guardian from father's side. Among the goods to divide were: a feodal "fief" called the "Snebeke" in Sint-Eloois-Vijve on the border with the village of Waregem for the oldest son (feodal law) For the 8 children together the house of their father: the farmhouse called "St-Anthonius"
(note: Jan Vander Schaeghe had also the function of "kerkmeester" (churchmaster). I still have to check what this function actually meant)
