According to an article written by C.E. Hulstaert and published in Familia 1989 XXVI p31 his parents were Niclaes van den Berge and Lijsebeth Lowijs. "In het lidmatenboek van Breskens vinden we in de lijst van 4 April 1671: Niclaes van den Berge en Lijsebeth Lowijs met attestate van Sint Anna ter Muyden. Sint Anna ter Muiden is een dorpje in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in de buurt van Sluis dicht tegen de Belgische grens. In de doop-, trouw-, en lidmatenboeken van dit dorpje is evenwel geen spoor van het echtpaar terug te vinden. Het echtpaar Claes van den Berge en Lijsebeth Lowijs laat te Breskens twee kinderen dopen: 1. Janneken op 17 Augustus 1672, getuigen Antoonij Boone en Kommetjie Willems, 2. Jakob op 11 Augustus 1673, getuigen Pieter SAel en Elena Verhulst."
