SOUPLIS, Margaret ....
married Pieter Dirck KEYSER  on September 24,1700 in Germantown, Pennyslvania 

Pieter Dirck KEYSER ....was born November 25,1676 in Holland. His parents were Dirck KEYSER, and Elizabeth  ter HIMPEL.(or Hinspal)

Dirck KEYSER was born circa 1635 in Holland, and married Elizabeth November 22,1668.

He was a Silk Merchant by trade.  The KEYSER family lived in Holland for 4 generations. 

There is a book," Genealogy of the KEYSER Family" written by Charles KEYSER in 1889 that I would love to read. Also a cousin Tom Keyser has transcribed and posted a great deal of this KEYSER Family information on the web.

Elizabeth ter HIMPEL was born November 12,1637, also in Holland.

Alas true love does not endure, as when she died May 12,1681 at only 44, he re-married a lady named Joanna H.SNOECK .

Course Dirck and Elizabeth were only married 13 years. 

NOW.....Back to Pieter Dirck KEYSER and Margaret SOUPLIS

Margaret was born in 1682 and sadly I know little to nothing else about her, or her husband Pieter Dirck, whom we will refer to now as Pieter (we'll drop the Dirck.). 

So Margaret and Pieter Keyser had their children, and they were;

Dirck ~ (Of course ) born September 26,1701 died January 8,1756
Anreas ~ born July 22,1703 and died sometime after 1744
Peter Dirck ~ born July 9,1705 
Jacob Souplis Keyser ~ born July 13,1707 , died 1781
Johannes ~ born June 25,1709
Abraham ~ born May 26,1711 died December 30,1717
Elizabeth ~ born January 20,1713/or 1714
Anneke (Of course)~ born May 23,1716 died March 14,1807
KATHELINA ~ born September 17,1718 (there is some discretion about her birthdate. Others have it as Oct.25,1718)   I'm not sure, so I'll just leave it a mystery.

Now remember that Kathelina is a variation of Catherine, Kathaline,
etc. etc.,

Johannes ~ born July 25,1721 died after 1744
and Margaret ~ born October 4,1723 and died after 1744 as well.

this story will definitely be continued another day..............come back soon
