MARRIAGE OF HELLEGERS, BELIA
about 1846

Annulment
Type: Annulment of Hellegers, Belia

Note: Terry Wells says: "This marriage was annulled by Thomas Van Husen's parents on the basis of religion. The Van Husen's were Roman Catholics whereas the Hellegers were Dutch Reformed Protestants"
Shared note

Belia's first husband was a man named Thomas. One family source says his surname was van Houston. This information may be mistaken. There are no entries for a Thomas van Houston (or any similar name) in Dutch genealogical sites.

Shared note

Family sources agree that Belia and Thomas married without their parents' consent. Because his family was Roman Catholic and hers was Dutch Calvinist, the parents had the marriage annulled. It's unclear whether the annulment was forced by one side or the other, or both. The issue of religious affiliation is murky. My grandmother said that Belia's grandfather was a Roman Catholic. Another family member believes that the Hellegers family were historically Protestant -- Huguenot refugees from Catholic France. All Belia's descendants appear to have been staunch members of the Reformed Dutch Church.
