Heren van Raaphorst

In De Nederlandsche Leeuw 1983, Van der Klooster sets out how Van Leiden, Van Wassenaar and Van Raaphorst sprote from Doede van Voorhout through his son Kerstant. John Ooms gives us at line of descendance. Who do we find if we search the Groesbeek Collectie (GC) and Oorkonden (OHZ)?

Early tree NL83

NL83 has an early tree that can be extended with Willem van Voorhout, likely son of Dodo and brother of Kerstant

                            Dirk (6)

Putting dates to that... it would not be unlikely that Kerstant (1) would have had a son Dodo and a son Kerstant too, that would make 5 boys, and very likel several girls too. His son Gerard had become an adult and succeeded him as drost, but died before his father, likely rather young. If Kerstant was 60 in 1161, born 1101 married early 1122, and produced a 3rd son and 5th child by 1130, then Gerard would have died young, around 30yo. His brother Dirk (2) would have been younger still, 1135-1140, and would have just started his carreer around 1160. Is he is the Dirk 1220, 1227 he was likely born several years later even. Born 1150, he would have been attested 70-77 yo. I haven't spotted the Kerstant (3), who seems to have been spotted in/by Van Gouthoeven. Likely the oldest son, born ca 1175, would have died 63yo in 1238 then. That would make Dirk (4), another oldest son ca 1200 then. Respectable 61-72 you then, and hard to believe he'd be 1289. Kerstant (5), again oldest son, would then be born ca 1225, and he would have been 84 you in 1309. Seems we need to push all of their births a bit further to make that fit better, 1165, 1190, 1220, 1245 looks better.

So that would give guestimates, with deaths soon after last mention:

• K (1) 1110-1175 (65 yo) v1161
• D (2) 1140-1227 (87 yo) v1220,1227
• K (3) 1165-1238 (73 yo) v1238
• D (4) 1190-1272 (82 yo) v1261-1272
• K (5) 1220-1309 (89 yo) v1282-1309
• D (6) 1245

That would leave the 1289 to D6, have to put some others on him as well, I'll reshuffle GC a bit. Kerstant 1316-1323 and in 1346 his children would hardly fit K5, so there likely is another one still.

Fitting in the rest

• Gerard 1269 would have been of the same generation as Dirk (4). Could have been a grandson of G+1161, but he was never named Raaphorst and that would require a generation in between, easiest to assume either D2 named a son after his brother, who named a son after him self, so cousin of D4, or K3 named a son after his uncle. The latter requires the least postulated people, so that seems prefferable.
• Gerrit 1295-1325, if al the same person, is unlikely to be the same person as G1269, and seems most in sync with K5. He is named a son of K, likely 5, in 1323. But he could very well be son of a Kerstant?, son of G1269 named after K3, that would also solve the >1309 mentions. Then again, how would they have distinguised both Kerstants in the documents?
