    <div><ul><li><strong>Hendrick Willemse Buijs married Aetgen Cornelis Becelle, 4 January 1604, in the parish of Brielle, county (province) of Zuid-Holland. One can deduce from the marriage date that Hendrick and Aetgen were born about 1570 &ndash; 1584. They were members of the Dutch Reform Church. Hendrick was the chief of police/alderman for Brielle from 1625-1630. (I have pictures of the </strong><strong>Townhall of Brielle</strong><strong> which may have his statue outside the building).</strong></li><li><br></li><li><strong>Hendrick did have an official Coat of Arms. (picture taken from the &ldquo;Book of the Dutch Nobility&rdquo;.) The name on the Coat of Arms is Hendrick B&rsquo;uijs. The &lsquo; stands for an &ldquo;e&rdquo;, the name was earlier written Beuijs. In 1629 Hendrick was allowed by the states of Holland to add the color silver in his arms. He chose to color the sky silver. Silver was the color for the lower nobility. Hendrick received this honor because he was the mayor of Brielle (third one of the Beuijs family).<br>We know they were a family of ship owners, thus the ship on the Coat of Arms. A &ldquo;buis&rdquo; is a small sailing boat used mostly for herring fishing in the North Sea. His home was located on a street called Nobelstraat and his house was called &ldquo;the house with the waning moons&rdquo;. <br></strong></li></ul>&nbsp;From: www.buicefamilyreunion.com <font size="1"><br></font><p>&nbsp;</p></div>
