Early Life
Arrien [or Arie] Scheer was born on 27 February 1804 in Vollenhove, Overijssel. His father, farmer Marten Scheer, was the third husband of Arrien's mother Berendina Post. His mother was 44 when Arrien was born and he was their only child. He did, however, have a half-sister Teuntje Lok from his mother's first marriage and from her second marriage half-brothers Arrien and Jan Rook and half-sisters Harmpje and Annigjen Rook.
Marriage
On 29 November 1830 Arrien Scheer married Geesje Hansman in Vollenhove. Geesje was born in 1807 in Ommen, close to Vollenhove. The couple had nine children, including two girls who died in infancy and one stillborn daughter. All the surviving children lived into the 20th century.
Children
Christian Separated Congregation
Arrien Scheer was one of the founders of the Christian Separated Congregation in the region around Vollenhove, when he was working as a farmer in Zuurbeek. The congregation was formed on 12 April 1836, probably in Arrien's home. The next day Arrien's daughter Berendina was the first child christened in the congregation. Arrien was the first elder within the congregation. The first deacon was his brother-in-law Carel de Vries (1803-1880).
In 1844 the Scheer family left the Christian Separated Congregation to join a newly formed Christian congregation. A story with the descendants of Arrien is that the Bible in the Christian Reformed Church was a gift from Arrien.
