The posting by Jan Kinloss at
http://www.refdag.nl/kerkplein/kerknieuws/calvinistisch_brugge_1_262233
mentioned by Hans Vogels states, in part:
"Ludovic Slabbaert, married to Adriane Cobrysse with four children:
Adriaen, Louis, Catheline and Godefroit. Ludovic's second wife was
Godelieve Wouters."
It is interesting to compare this information with the lengthy
Gailliard chapter in J. Gailliard, Bruges et Le Franc; ou, leur
magistrature et leur noblesse, 5 vols. + Suppl. (Bruges, 1857-1864), 5:
392-461, at p. 436. I will not place quotation marks around this
passage, as it already contains quotation marks around material taken
from a manuscript genealogy by Corneille Gailliard:
Jean Gailliard "maria Dame Goddelieve Wouters, fille du Sieur Mathieu
... trespassa le 2me jour de Janvier 1558, et la mesme Dame Goddelieve
Wouters ayant restee veuve pendant 3 ans 4 mois, se maria alors au Sieur
Lowys Slabaert." Jean Gailliard eut:
1. Jean Gailliard, qui "a son retour d'un voyage a Dantzig mourut sur
mer l'an 1568."
2. Corneille Gailliard, qui "mourut sur mer et est enterre a l'ile de
Nardo en Noorwege, le 17me 7bre 1568."
3. Cornélie Gailliard "espouse de Monsr Augustin Cloribus."
4. Claire Gailliard, qui "espousa le 5 Fevrier 1556, Jacques Cobrisse,
fils du seigneur Jacques Cobrisse, et de Jasperinne Ylaert. ... Claire
fut veuve en 1594."
Assuming the correctness of this account, Ludovic Slabbaert m. (2)
about May 1561, Godelieve Wouters, widow of Jean Gailliard (who d. 2
January 1558).
Despite an apparent slip in Gailliard's book at vol. 4, p. 61, where
this family is mentioned in passing, this information is consistent with
the chapter on the Cobrysse family in the Supplement, pp. 349-75, at p.
351, and also with an earlier and much briefer account of the same
family in François Louis Van Dycke, Recueil héraldique, avec des notices
généalogiques et historiques sur un grand nombre de familles nobles et
patriciennes de la ville et du Franconat de Bruges (Bruges, 1851)
[
http://books.google.ca/books?id=nrJJAAAAcAAJ], p. 106. These works give
the early portion of the Cobrysse pedigree as:
Jacques Cobrysse [I] = Adrienne Lybaers [or Lybaert]
Jacques Cobrysse [II] = (as her first husband) Gasparine Ylaert,
daughter of Jacques Ylaert and Marie Feye
Jacques Cobrysse [III] = 1556, Claire Gailliard, daughter of Jean
Gailliard and Godelieve Wouters [who later became the second wife of
Ludovic Slabbaert].
For children of this last couple, Adrienne Cobrysse served as a
baptismal sponsor in August 1558, and Louis Slabbaert as a sponsor in
December 1562. It thus seems highly likely that Adriane Cobrysse, the
first wife of Ludovic Slabbaert, belonged to this family, most likely as
a sister of Jacques Cobrysse [II] since her granddaughter, Catharina
Molinet, was baptized 12 July 1572 (per the posting by Jan Kinloss).
According to Gailliard, Jacques Cobrysse [II] and Gasparine Ylaert were
the parents of Marie Cobrysse, who was married in March 1572 in the
church of Saint Gilles, Bruges, to Antoine de Mel. However, Louis P. De
Boer, whose work must always be used with caution, claims in
"Pre-American notes on old New Netherland families: De Mille,"
Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, 3 (1928): 58-63, reprinted in
Genealogies of New Jersey Families from the Genealogical Magazine of
New Jersey, 1: 50-55, that Maria was a daughter of Jacob Cobrysse and
Adriana Liebaert, and states that she and her husband were "most likely"
ancestors of the De Mille family of New Netherland. If true, this would
provide a remarkable kinship for the De Mille family.
