‎(Door hiaat in het doopboek van 1714 tot 1723 is van vijf kinderen van Sijmen Claasz. "Backer" de juiste datum niet vast te stellen)‎.

Op 16 Juli 1703 verkocht ELBERIGH SIJMENS' de eendenkooi aan Antje Willems', weduwe van Jan Palensteyn te Enkhuizen. ‎(zie acte)‎. De kooi was toen 16 jaar eigendom van de familie Kooiman geweest, lang genoeg om er een naam aan over te houden. De Kooimannen bleven er voorlopig wonen, want Willem Palensteyn was nog te jong om de kooi te beheren. Zes jaar later, op 31 Maart 1709 trouwde hij te Andijk met Neeltje Jans' . . . . "Beyden van Andijk" staat er in het trouwboek, maar een doopdatum van Neeltje Jans' is niet te vinden. In hetzelfde jaar trouwde ook Sijmen Claasz. en werd zelfstandige bakker in de Bakkershoek. Hij en Bregt Prins kregen veel kinderen, maar de meesten stierven reeds in de wieg . . . . Is daarom moeder Elbeerigh bij Sijmen ingetrokken? Als zij op 10 Februari 1718 overlijdt, wordt dat door Sijmen aangegeven: "van Symon Backer van t lijk van sijn moeder Elberigh Sijmens', overleden aan de Noorderdijk op Broekoort 3 gld.". Zijn kinderen heetten verder "Bakker", terwijl zij toch bloedeigen familie van de Kooimannen waren . . . .

Biography

Children: Claas ‎(Oct 30 1709)‎, Ijtje ‎(July 19 1711)‎, Cornelis ‎(March 5 1713)‎, Leentje ‎(1715)‎, Pieter ‎(died Oct 6 1717)‎, Pieter ‎(died Nov 22 1718)‎, Trijntje ‎(died March 28 1721)‎, Trijntje ‎(1722)‎, Pieter ‎(Nov 21 1723 - July 2 1724)‎, Aaf ‎(Oct 21 1725 - July 16 1726)‎. Baptism records of Andijk are missing from Dec 1714 to May 1723. Several children were obviously born to Simon and Brecht during this time - many things prove each of the children above. We just don't know the exact dates they were born or baptized.

Married 2 Geertje Jacobs on June 1 1738.

Simon's name is spelled many alternate ways: Sijmon, Sijmen, Zijmon. His last name also appears in various records as Backer, Bakker, Backers, de Backer. Since he didn't join his brothers in running the bird sanctuary ‎(Kooi)‎, he did not go by the last name Kooiman.

Simon made profession of faith in Andijk on November 29 1705. He was living east of the Boede at that time. Brecht Jans, wife of Simon Claasz Backer, is listed as having made profession of faith in Grootebroek and switching her membership to Andijk August 25 1709. She probably worked as a dienstmaagt ‎(maid)‎ for a wealthy farmer in Grootebroek for a while.

Sijmon is one of the most colorful characters from old Andijk. There’s a place by the dike that it seems has always had a bakery as it’s been called “Bakkershoek” for centuries. It was the second most important place in what was to become Andijk. It was in the Broekoort, including some homes, a boat building area, a school and a tavern as well. Since most people around 1700 did most of their own baking the bakers had a rather difficult life and did many other things to earn money as well. Sijmon is considered the first baker in the area. His father was nicknamed Tentman; his two brothers took on the nickname Cooyman. Pieter, being a baker, took on the nickname Bakker. Simon and Brecht had 10 children; 5 of them died in childhdhood. In 1717 he hired a cousin as an employee, but that only lasted a few months. One gets the feeling Sijmon was hard to get along with. Then, because of a disastrous case of veepest ‎(a plague that wiped out a lot of cattle)‎, in 1718 he rented his bakery out and bought a flock of sheep which he sold in 1735 to his wife’s family. In 1723 he started working in his own bakery again.

In 1727 Sijmon got in trouble with his church, the Buurtjeskerk in Andijk. He had refused to come to church when there was the Lord’s Supper, and in those days everyone was required to go to church every Sunday. Dominee Joliannes van Heyck brougought three elders and 2 deacons with him to visit Sijmon on February 21, 1727: Dirk Pietersz Meulen, Pieter Jansz Swagerman’s son Herman, Sijmon’s brother Reijndert Claasz Cooyman and Nanne Pietersz Kok. Maerten Kruijer was his elder. Sijmon had 2 big problems. First, he wasn’t getting enough business as a baker and he blamed that on the Dominee. Secondly, he had some major problems with the school teacher next door, Barent Nansz Verwer. Barent had said something Sijmon didn’t like, a and therefore he shouldn’t be allowed to take Communion. The consistory discussed the issue with Sijmon and told him to have a better attitude. Stubborn Sijmon refused to forgive Barent or to admit he himself had done anything wrong. After a few more meetings, Sijmon was excommunicated in 1732. That meant he couldn’t take Communion ‎(which he wasn’t doing anyway)‎ or vote in church matters. He lost a good number of his clients through this ‎(probably including the church, which needed bread for Communion which had been refusing to take)‎. His wife, Bregt Jans Prins, died in 1735 and Sijmen sold the bakery to Jan Prinsz. his uncle. So he became a farmer. He married Geertje Jacobs in 1738. She was the widow of the schoolteacher WiWillem Posthumius. She seemed to have more influence on him than Bregt Jans as he made peace with the church leaders. On November 30 1738, Domine Johannes van Wena wrote a notice saying Simon Bakker had repented and was now restored to membership in the church.

In 1742 he was nominated to be an elder, but he wasn’t chosen to become one. In spite of not earning much money through the bakery, he apparently had a “chaise” ‎(a gig, drawn by horses)‎ in the inventory that he kept for traveling. Maybe he bought it after he went into full time farming. The bakery had 9 more bakers after Sijmen: first his son Cornelis who later became the baker at Wervershoof, then Jan Gerritsz. Prinsz. until 1763 and his son Gerrit for some time after that. This Jan was the son of Brecht’s sister Trijn and her husband Gerrit Freeksz Pan ‎(he was named for his mother’s side of the family)‎. Since the bakery was still small, Jan Prins also raised cows. An attourney document dated May 28, 1758 says he testified b before lawyer Cornelis ran de Deure of Grootebroek that he owed his uncle Sijmen Backer 800 guilders for a piece of grassland for his cows. He promised to pay 24 guilders interest per year, beginning May 1 1760. Soon afterwards the bakery passed out of the family’s hands. The bakery was destroyed in the 1916 flood and the owner Cornelis van Otterloo built a new bakery on the Hoekweg instead.

There was a Brecht Jans, a member of the Andijk church, who was denied the Lord’s Supper for a while because she had a child with a married man when she wasn’t married. Most likely this wasn’t our Brecht Jans.‎[1]‎
