Jacob Bulner was connected to a few names in a Dutch database. They are Joseph Bulner, Leijde Mannussen Bulner, Hendrika Bulner, Gerritdina Ezendam, Teunis Bulner, Leijde Bulner, Hendrina Bulner, Aleida Bulner, and Martha Seppenwoolt. However, no relationships were mentioned.
She can be found at Geni.com and at Ancestry.com. She is associated with Sergeant Jacob Bulner of the VOC 1752-1790. I am uncertain of her relationship to Jacob Bulner. However, they could be siblings as they were born roughly about the same time. Their parents are unknown at present.
Leijde Mannussen Bulner was born circa 1725-1785. She married to Lucas Lubbers (skipper, born circa 1725-1785) and became Leijde Mannussen Lubbers. They have a daughter named Leijdeken Lubbers (born 19 December 1790 at Rijssen).
Leijde Mannussen Bulner was present at her daughter Leijdeken Lubbers's wedding on 4 March 1814 at Rijssen.
Leijdeken Lubbers (born 19 December 1790 at Rijssen) is Leijdeken (Leida) Koederink after marriage. She married to Hendrikus Koederink (born 23 January 1785 at Rijssen).
