BRUGES(Dixmude, Keyem, Vladslo, Tourhout...)The “de Potter” family, to which journalist and politician Louis dePotter belonged to, as leader of the 1830 Government of Belgium,called herself “de Droogenwalle” as of the 18th century. The greatgrandfatherof Louis, Jean-Guillaume de Potter, first counselor ofDixmude and Nieuport, Counsellor of the High Council of Malinesas of 1726, was, by virtue of this position, enrolled in nobility, withpatent letters of 17 June of that year.Droogenwalle was a small lordship, of about 3 hectares, acquired byJean-Guillaume at the beginning of the 18th century to the family ofthe counts de Merode. Located near the church in Keyem, a villagenorth of Dixmude, it belonged to the county of Middelburg inFlanders, itself depending of the “Free State of Bruges” (part of theDuchy of Mortaigne before 1300).52
It is also in Keyem that the direct ancestors of this family are found,in the 16th century. A genealogy of this family was published in the“Annuaire de Noblesse Belge” in Brussels, in 1896, I, pp. 144-153,without the name of the author. See the first paragraphs of this studyhere besides. Although incomplete, this work was reliable for theperiod after 1650, but remained incomplete for the period before.Pieter Donche reconstructed the genealogy of the family “de Potterde Droogenwalle” for the period before 1800. It was done accurately,between 2017 and 2019, on the basis of authentic archival sourcessuch as: “states of goods” (possessions), “orphan accounts”(inheritances), “parish registers” (churches records), and numerousother official archival sources out of the formerly called “Free Stateof Bruges”. Ties to the present day were ascertained by DNA-tests.The most ancient and certain ancestor of that line is Pieter de Potter,son of Jacob (1525). He was born around 1540 and married MariaBoone. He owned two lending estates in Keyem, south-east of thechurch, attached to the lending estate of Schorre (Dixmude). Jacoband Pieter belong to the branch of Jan Dries, esquire of Dixmude inthe 13th Century with coat of arms in the Royal Library in Brussels.Dixmude was attached to the County of Middlebourg, like the familylordships Droogenwalle and Haveskerque, bought to cousin Merode,as indicated in the library of the Castle of Loppem. Based on a textby Gaillard, their arms were carried over from Catherine de Pottere,Dame of Mortaigne and Potelle, heiress of Alix of Flanders in Lille.Throughout the entire 16th century, we came across severalinheritances with the name de Pottere in and around Keyem. Fromthe earliest one, it can be concluded that this branch had already beenpresent in the region at the end of the 1400s but the completedestruction of the municipal archive during World War One preventsus, for the time being, from finding more evidences than the ones inthis book. Online DNA-results are instrumental in this verification.53
