INEZ MILHOLLAND BOISSEVAIN – Stories of an American suffragette, who led the 1913 Washington march, championing the black Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Her death in 1916 galvanized the National Woman's Party, which launched picketing of Wilson's White House. After arrests of the picketers, and a hunger strike and maltreatment of the prisoners (force-feeding), public opinion changed. Wilson did too, and the 19th Amendment became law in 1920.

Catharina Josephine Boissevain was the youngest of the eleven children of Charles and Emily Boissevain, born in 1885. She was called "Teau" after the French contraction of Cateau for Catherine. Several sources say she was considered the prettiest of the six daughters of Charles and Emily. My mother said that Teau
could have been a famous actress. She had a marvelous talent for it and would keep visitors spellbound at home theatricals or charades. I heard her perform and she was entrancing.Teau gave Hilda lessons on how to recite a story in front of a class and when Hilda went back to school her recital, she said, was sensational.
Hilda also said that Teau was the first person to talk to her (when Hilda was only four years old) about religion. Hilda's mother had a nervous condition and was sent to the Privatklinik Bircher-Benner at Keltenstrasse 9 in Zürich. (I spent a few days there myself being checked up in 1963.) During that time, Hilda and her brother Willem were entrusted to the care of their aunt Teau.
She married Lieven Ferdinand (Fik) de Beaufort in 1907. Fik was from another Huguenot family that had been dukes in France before Louis XIV chased them out; the titles could not be imported into Holland, which had no equivalents. Fik was a biologist of some distinction. He and Teau lived in Dutch India (Java) for a while. Teau is featured in letters from Java when Hilda was an infant. Obviously, Hilda missed her mother and Teau was very kind, says Hilda, and to console her told her about God and Heaven and the Angels. Hilda told me she was a fan off the angels ever since. That is why she wrote The Angels' Alphabet.
Teau's eldest child and only daughter Nella was born two months after my mother, and so they spent much time together as pre-teens. The de Beauforts had a governess named Ava whom my mother considered malicious toward her employer. In the last few years of her life, Hilda wrote several versions of an experience that she had with Ava; it was clearly one of the most meaningful encounters she had in her life.

Children of Fik and Teau de Beaufort:
1 Nella (b. 1908) = Carl van Boetzelaer. Nella and my mother were "twin cousins". Bella married Baron van Boetzelaar. I went with my parents to Holland in 1983 and accompanied them on a chartered boat down the river from Deventer on June 26, 1983. It was Nella's 75th birthday in Holland. Queen Juliana was on the boat.
2 Willem Ferdinand Arnold (b. 1911)
3 Charles Denis Hercules Creagh (1913-1931)
4 Henri Alexander (Hans) (1915-1942). Teau's youngest child and third son, Henri Alexander (Hans) de Beaufort, born in 1915, was a hero of the Dutch Resistance. He was killed by the Nazis in 1942.

BOISSEVAIN Gen6 | Emily Héloïse MacDonnell
 |
| Emily MacDonnell (seated) and Friend, 1866. Writing at bottom by Hilda van Stockum (1908-2006). |
It was before she met and married my great-grandfather Charles Boissevain.
Emily is with a friend who looks very severe, even contemptuous.
Emily herself looks nice enough but she is quite subdued. Later, after her marriage, her reputation in Holland was that of a wild Irish woman.
For example, early in her married life she went out skating arm-in-arm with a member of her household staff. Ahem, not done in Holland.
The fashionable hairstyle of the time seems to have been a part in the middle with the hair pulled back.
A note under the photo from my mother notes that it was taken in 1866–by the Metropolitan Photo Company at its studio on 88 Grafton Street in Dublin.

BOISSEVAIN Gen6 | The Charlestjes (Updated July 6, 2016)
 |
| Charles and Emily Boissevain with some of their children and grandchildren. Source: JT Marlin, private collection. |
Charles and Emily Héloïse Boissevain were Gen 6, i.e., they were the sixth generation from the original Louis Boussavy.
They had eleven children–five sons and six daughters. These children, and their descendants, are called the Charlestjes. They are also known to Dutch speakers as the Kareltjes.
(Charles was originally named Karel and he Anglicized it because he married an English-speaking woman, Emily MacDonnell.)
The following Charlestjes Family Group, starting with Charles Handelsblad Boissevain, is developed from a segment of the huge project of the late Matthijs Boissevain to document every Boissevain on earth. The predecessor to this post is The Early Boissevains, First Six Generations. I abbreviate the first nine children as Ch1-Ch9, and the next two as ChA and ChB.
