Later they lived in Michigan. Henricus' father Berend Jan Beuker may be related to your Beukers - it would be coincidence that these names do not reflect some relationship, although the names were common at that time and place. I haven't gotten a full accounting of these Beukers - you might read the earlier response from Rev. Gerrit Jan Beuker who I corresponded with - he has a website with some of this history.
