HERMAN2 OP DEN DYCK of Wesel.

2. HERMAN² OP DEN DYCK (Henric¹) of Wesel, son of (1) Henric¹ OP DEN DYCK, was born between 1227 and 1293, and died between 1286 and 1403.
He may have been the ancestor of one or both of two families of op den Dycks that appear for the first time a little after 1250 in Wesel and Essen, two towns lying about fifty-five miles to the west from Kump and about twenty-eight miles distant from each other. Although there is reason to believe that this Essen family was connected with that of Wesel, from which the American settler Gysbert op den Dyck was descended, the kinship is not proved. ^[9]
