In the book Geschichte der Stadt Lengerich by Gert Schumann Band I, is documented in the "Knechtegeldgegister von Jahr 1595" a W. Hasenkamp - Heile Kotten, I am would guess this to be a farmer of a full farm at the time. I would be interested if you were to intersect with my Kleppker line in Langerich, which I find one. He is only listed as Kleppker, Brinksitzer in this same register. I have not completed my research in this area, only started and only picked up this book when we were there last month. I have documented some germans who emigrated to Holland on our home page, but mostly those who went to near Amsterdam. My 3rd great grandfather Christoph Poser is documented to have died in Roterdam in about 1808, so would also be interested in any connections you run into on this name as well. It is from this line we are connected to the Kleppker and Schroer families in Lengerich. Good job on your home page as well.
