• Notes

  Archives of St. Oedenrode, at Veghel. December 5, 2002 Mr. J.P. Klaver, archivist, offered a possible reason for Hendirkus settling in St. Oedenrode. At the Congress of Vienna in 1813, boundry lines were redrawn in Europe. William I of the House of Orange became the King of Holland. The Napoleanic Wars ended in 1815, and in that year William I absorbed Belgium and called it the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This absorbtion was confirmed by the Congress of Vienna. On November 18, 1830 the people of Brussles rebelled, declaring their independence from The Netherlands. Northern Holland and William I worried that all of Brabant would go over to the rebels. Brabant had been a virtual colony of the northern part of Holland (the Maas River divided the country). Also, the population of Brabant was mostly Roman Catholic and the north was mostly Protestant. To control the population, William I put an army of five divisions, about 100,000 soldiers in Brabant. They came from all over the north. St. Oedenrode was one of the large headquarters. Soldiers were quartered in homes of the local population at that time. This situation lasted until 1839, with the Treaty of London, which legalized the status quo. Belgium became a separate country, and North Brabant went to The Netherlands and South Brabant to Belgium. According to the Military Record of Hendirkus Reintjes, there was a National Lottery for military service. He drew a number seventy, and entered the service in August 20, 1837, in the twelfth section of the infantry. The period of service was two years. He married his first wife on September 13, 1839, probably just shortly after he completed his service. ---------------------------------------------
