Margrite Triko

Please do NOT disconnect her from her mother Michele Sauvagie...THANK YOU

In NEW NETHERLAND CONNECTIONS; Vol 2; No. 4; 1996; an article is written which discloses the identity of the mother of Catalyntje Trico. The sister of Catalyntje, Margriet, is named by Catalyntje in a Notarial Document in 1677 giving authorization to claim monies from the executors "of the will of Margrite Triko, her sister,". Records also show that Catalyntje had an older half-sister, Maria Flamen, who married Philippe de Fontayne. The mother of these 3 women is named in the will of Maria as MICHELE SAUVAGIE who was still living in 1624.

From Margriet Trico's marriage intention in May 1632 we know that her mother -- now identified as Michele Sauvagie -- was definitely alive and presumably living in Haarlem because Margriet had to bring in her written permission for the pending marriage (see previous issue, page 58). Thanks to Dr. G.J. van Amerongen in Haarlem, the records of Haarlem for this time period were checked to see if any members of the Trico family could be found. There was only one, a Philippe Trico married to a Sara Janis. This couple had five children baptized with the surname Tricot or Triquot in the Walloon Church of Haarlem: Abraham on 5 Nov. 1628; Jeanne on 24 Feb. 1630; Jaques on 3 Dec. 1634; Jean on 15 June 1636; and Louis on 20 March 1639. One burial with this name was recorded in Haarlem; on 27 August 1656 "Philips Trigault" was buried in Haarlem. (72, fol. 140v)

There is no evidence that this Philippe Tricot/Triquot/Trigault was the brother of Catalina Trico. However, we do have Marie Flamen's stated wish that in the event that her mother predeceased her, Marie wanted 1,000 carolus guilders to be paid to Marie's "brothers and sisters in equal parts." Was Marie's brother a Flamen brother or a Trico half-brother? We know that her half-sisters were Catalina and Margriet Trico. Did she have more than two?
