TePaske, Hendrik Jan 1816-1886 and family.

The information for this BIOS was accumulated from the BIOS of Anthony Te Paske and from records of the Netherlands (www.wiewaswie.nl) pertaining to his birth, marriages, deaths of wives and children, and prepared and submitted by Wilma J. Vande Berg. Read the BIOS of the Anthony Te Paske family which gives much historical input into the immigration of the family of Hendrik Jan Te Paske and their early pioneer life in the United States.

BIRTH – Hendrik Jan Te Paske (aks te Bokkel) was born to Derk Hendrik te Bokkel a farmer age 33, and Harmina Berkelder age 25, he was born 16 May 1816 at Aalten Gelderland, Netherlands.

MARRIAGE #1 – of Hendrik Jan te Bokkel, a farmer, age 36 and Dela Antonia Tammel age 23 on 24 March 1853 at Aalten, His parents were Derk Hendrik te Bokkel and Harmina Berkelder, Her parents were Jan Tammel and Johanna Adriana Hoftizer. Due to his age, looked for a previous marriage but didn’t find one.

DEATH – of Dela Antonia Tammel Te Paske, age 35, wife of Hendrik Jan te Paske on 4 Jan 1865 at Barlo Aalten, Gelderland. Her parents were Jan Tammel and Johanna Adriana Hoftizer.

BIRTH of Gesina Tammel, wife #2, born 17 Feb 1847 Barlo Aalten, Gelderland, Netherlands to Jan Tammel 46 and Johanna Adrianan Hoftijzer.
Note: both Dela born 1830 and Gesina born 1847 were sisters! So it stands to reason Gesina came to help Hendrik Jan (31 yrs her senior) with her sister’s family.

MARRIAGE #2 record of Hendrik Jan te Bokkel (AKS Te Paske) a farmer age 51 married Gesina Tammel age 20, His parents were Derk Hendrik te Bokkel and Harmina Berkelder, her parents were Jan Tammel and Johanna Adriana Hoftijzer. They married 11 July 1867 At Aalten, Gelderland. He was a weduwnaar of Dela A. Tammel. Dela Antonia Tammel was a sister of Gesina Tammel being born 25 Mar 1829 at Aalten Gelderland, to Jan Tammel and Johanna Adriana Hoftijzer.

IMMIGRATION – in Robert Swierenga’s record of Dutch immigrants to America list H. J. Tepaske 52, born about 1816, port uncertain, family accompanied. Hendrik’s death information lists immigration as July 1868 .

CENSUS - 1870 census of York, Fillmore,Minnesota lists Henry Tepeske age 54, born about 1816 Holland a farmer, living in the same household was Celia age 33 born about 1837 (this was most likely Gesina born 1847), John age 16 born about 1854 Holland, Mina Tepeske age 14 born about 1856 Holland, Jacob Tepeske age 12 born about 1858 Holland, and Thery (Thony) age 2 born MN (Must have been Anthony) .
Note: Daughter Johanna born 1859 is not mentioned probably working in another household during census. Daughter Mina is not mentioned again after this census record.

DIED – Gesina died at Greenleafton Minn in Feb 1874 after giving birth to son Gerrit who died also.
It seems there was a few years the family went from surnames Te Paske to Te Bokkel back to the Te Paske name. Many times the surnames had to do with where they were living and the land ownership at the time.

MARRIAGE - July 1876 Hendrik Jan Te Paske married Johann H. Van Maassen 56 at the residence of Jan Vennema, performed by Rev. S. Bolks at Orange City, IA . She was evidenty a widoe Wiersma at the time of marriage.

Obit of Herman TePaske From the Alton Democrat, June 4, 1937:
Former Auditor Te Paske Is Very Ill
Brief article about him suffering a severe stroke last Wednesday. It rendered his right side completely helpless and he has not yet recovered his speech. He can move his left arm and leg but a week after the stroke his mind appears to be still clouded and he does not yet respond to questioning, although he can take nourishment fairly well. For many years he “has devoted close attention to book work.” A trained nurse is in constant attention.
