Eighth Generation

146. Brüne RADKENS⁵⁷ was born in 1639.⁵⁸ This is his birth year based on the 1682 register of male Walle residents. Wilhelm Kranz calculated his birth year as 1641, after seeing what he believed to be his 1693 burial record. He died on 25 July 1693 at the age of 54 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER.⁵⁷ This is his burial date from the Verden Dom as found by Wilhelm Kranz. Early records spell this surname Rathjen or Rathcken. He was a Brinkkötner -- landless cottager -- at Walle house #21.

Children were:

73	i.	Marie RADKENS.
	ii.	Henrich RADKENS was born about 1662 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER. He died in 1709 at the age of 47 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER. He inherited Walle house #21 ("Drell's") in 1694.
	iii.	Brüne RADKENS was born about 1665 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER. He died in 1727 at the age of 62 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER.³⁹ The record of homesteads in Walle is confusing about this person. He likely existed, but Walle #21 was likely passed from his father to his brother Henrich (who died in 1709) and then to his sister and brother-in-law. The Chronik identifies him as living in 1725, but mistakenly equates him with his father.
