Jan Hindriks Bult

Note A.G.: In the marriage certificate of his daughter Maria in August 1842 is notificated that "her father Jan Hindriks Bult was a farmer". However, just a month later, during the marriage of his son Fredrik Jans Bult in September 1842, the profession of father Jan Hindriks Bult was notificated "as laborer". It seemed that in this month father Jan Hindriks Bult lost his (little?) farmstead?? The lost of his farmstead in those "agriculture disaster years 1842-1846 could be caused by the very bad situation of the Groningen farmers by human deseases like cholera, a severe cow desease and the upcoming and heavily destructing "potato decease"].
