Two heartbreaking plates: Anna Hartsinck died in her childbed the day after she gave birth to her her stillborn son. Apollonius Jan Cornelis baron Lampsins (1754-1834), baron of Tobago and lord of Swieten, belonged to the Lampsins family from Zeeland. His parents were Margaretha Sautijn and Johan Cornelis Lampsins. Apollonius married Anna Margaretha Hartsinck (1751-1783) in 1773 in Amsterdam. Anna was a full cousin of Henriëtte d'Oultremont de Wégimont, who would marry King Willem I of the Netherlands - and with one similar: "Margrieta Lampsins Ao. 1787". (total 3)
