Evert Alles "Katkamp" or "Bos"?

Hallo,

 

I am searching for what happened to Evert Alles "Katkamp" or "Bos". Here is what information I have about him:

 

Evert Alles was born 9 January 1785 in Dokkum, Friesland, son of Alle Harmens (1745-1814) and Antje Everts Bos (also "Bosch") (1746-1798). In 1811, Alle Harmens takes the surname of "Katkamp" for himself and his two children: daughter Sjoukje (geb. 1775 in Kollum, ovl. 1846 in Dokkum) and son Evert. In that record it says that Evert was in "dienst". This is confirmed by the following information:

 

Noord-Oost Friezen in het leger van Napoleon---

Katkamp, Evert Alles geb.Dokkum 04.01.1785 wonende aldaar, z.v. Alle Harmens Katkamp en Antje Everts Bos; ook met familienaam Bos

Bos, Evert Alles geb.Dokkum 04.01.1785, z.v.Alle Hermans en Anne Evers Bos

 

While his father Alle Harmens took the surname of "Katkamp" for he and his children, daughter Sjoukje did not keep that surname. She married and died with the surname of "van der Meulen". I could not find an Evert Alles "Katkamp" anywhere in Nederland. There are two possibilites in my opinion:

1) Evert Alles took another surname and so far I have been unable to make the connection

2) Evert Alles died as a soldier in the service to Napoleon

 

Any help to solve this mystery of what happend to Evert Alles would be greatly appreciated!

 

mvg,
