According to the information I have, Alewyn was born in 1846 in the Netherlands.He died in 1921 in Marion County, Iowa and is buried in T'Lam cemetery in Pella, IA.My source indicates that Janna and Anna are both buried there, too.
Alewyn's first wife's name was Janna DeZwarte and they were married 5/14/1869 in Marion County.On 8/8/1896 he married Anna Marie Muilenburg and on 8/30/1897 he married Ida May Roff.These dates came from a search of Iowa Marriages from 1851-1900 on the Ancestry.com website.
It is my understanding that Alewyn gave Ida May's father $500 to allow him to marry her.Based on the 1900 Census records, Ida May was born in November of 1880.
Let me know if you have any questions.
