BirthOrigin*Jan was from Dithmarschen and was perhaps born there between 21 August 1627 and 20 August 1628. He was said to be 33 years old on 20 August 1661. He was often described in the record as from Caspel ter Maere/Mare. Caspel is cappel, i.e. church or chapel. In Dithmarschen which is largely flat marshland, churches are built in the centre of man-made hills, known as terpen, and the church towers can be seen from miles distant. The church in the town of Marne in Dithmarschen is one such example. It is possible that Marne is his birth place. My thanks to Mansell Upham for helping me develop this theory.1,2,3,4
