Biography

Marriage

Cornelis Johannis Stulting, born in Utrecht, 21 years old, married Arnolda Broekman, born in Amersfoort, 26 years old, on March 20, 1811 in Utrecht.^[2]

Father of groom: Hermanus Stulting

Mother of groom: Hendrica Lebben

"The Stulting family, Pearl Buck's maternal ancestors, moved from Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 1847 with 300 of their friends and relatives so that they might practice their religion freely during a time of religious intolerance in the Netherlands. They were forced to leave the land they loved and move to a strange new country. The party consisted of Cornelius Stulting (called "Mynheer" in Pearl Buck's books. Mijnheer is Dutch for Sir), his wife Arnolda, and their five married sons and their families—three generations.

"Upon arrival in New York, the families and friends began to go their own ways. The Stultings moved to West Virginia, then a part of Virginia, and purchased land. After first settling in Dutch Bottom, they bought a small farmland of 16 acres (65,000 m2), of which the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation now owns 131⁄2 acres. It is located in the area commonly referred to as "Little Levels," surrounding the town of Hillsboro in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.

"Pearl S. Buck's great grandfather, Cornelius "Mynheer" Stulting, had a yearning to build a house like the one they had in the Netherlands. His wife, Arnolda, was homesick, and he hoped that the new house would help her accept living in America more easily.

"The Stulting men worked very hard and all supplies for building were taken from the land. They worked more than two years and the house was nearly completed when Cornelius "Mynheer" took a chill and became very ill. He died before seeing the house completed."^[3]
