- Also: van Ossenberch (in Arnhem, Holland)
He was the grandson of Dirck van Osenbrugh (b. ~1580) & his wife Janneke van Middachten.
At one time (in 2010) we believed that he was the patriarch of the Åsenbrygg families in Finland, because we had read that a man of that name (similar) had married Gunilda (Zelda) the Frisian (de Vriesin) - in North Netherlands- and moved to Ingria (now Finland, but then part of Sweden). He adapted his name to the local language into Ossenbrygg, which later became Åsenbrygg.
His son Nicolaus (b. 1683) and his mother Gunilda moved from Inkeri to Vieremä to escape Russian domination. There he bought the estate of Nikulan, which had nearly a thousand hectares (2,500 acres) at that time. His descendants are very many and several Åsenbrygg families still live in Vieremä. There is also an Åsenbrygg museum.
Work done by Henk van Ketel showed that this assumption was likely to be wrong.
