Augusta Geertruida Jantje Siccama was born in August 1855 near de Oude Wetering in the Haarlemmermeerpolder, from its first existence in July 1852 until July 1855 part of the municipality Heemstede, located in the southwestern part of the Dutch western province Noord-Holland, daughter of Nicolaas Siccama (57 y, merchant) and Jesina Stenekers aka Ste(e)nkes.
On 28 June 1873 Augusta Geertruida Jantje Siccama married at the age of 17 years in the small city of Appingedam, located in the extreme northeastern part of the Dutch northeastern province Groningen, the five years older day-laborer Cornelis Bruinewoud, born in Wolvega in the southern part of the Dutch northern province Friesland, son of day-laborer Jan Kornelis Bruinewoud and Trijntje Reinders Bakker.
On 13 June 1874 Geertruida Augusta [wrong order of the first two given names] Jantje Siccema and her husband Cornelis Bruinewoud (23 y, day-laborer) had their first child, son * Jan Bruinewoud, in the village of Farmsum, municipality Delfzijl, also located in the northeastern part of province Groningen. They had in the city of Groningen, capital of the province Groningen, the following children Bruinewoud (= Brown wood, forest):
* Nicolaas, b. 28 Dec 1876, d. 19 Dec 1878;
* Cornelis Jan, 22 Nov 1878, 23 Mar 1884;
* Nicolaas, 27 Jan 1881;
* Gesina, 28 Jun 1883, 1 Apr 1884;
* Cornelis, 7 Feb 1885, 23 Feb 1885;
* Cornelis Jan, 16 Aug 1886;
* Jezina Trientje, 9 Feb 1889.
Father and husband Cornelis Bruinewoud was in those years a merchant, laborer, shopkeeper, stoker, depot keeper and an engine driver.
In 1890 she emigrated with her husband Cornelis Bruinewoud (39 y, a poor laborer, Baptist) and four children to the USA, New Jersey, the city of Paterson, where many other Dutch immigrant families were living. On 18 March 1890, A[ugusta] Bruinewoud (34) and her children J[ohn] (16), W. [Nicolaas](9), C[ornelis] (2) and G. (1) [Jezina Trientje] Bruinewwoud arrived on the S.S. Obdam at the port of New York, Castle Garden. It's likely that her husband Cornelis Bruinewwoud father sailed before and alone to the USA to make in Paterson preparations for his wife and children to come over.
Their daughter Jezina Trientje died before June 1900, very probably in the city of Paterson, New Jersey.
In June 1900 Cecuma (45 y, born in August 1855 in Holland, immigrated in 1890, mother of 5 deceased and 4 living children), her husband Corneill Brownwood (50, September 1850, Holland, immigrated in 1890, day laborer), their children Nickolas Brownwood (19, January 1881, Holland, immigrated in 1890, day laborer), Corneilus (14, August 1886, Holland, immigrated in 1890, hammer boy) and Treintje (9, June 1891, New Jersey) were living in Ward 4 of Paterson, located about 20 miles northwest of New York and seat of Passaic County, New Jersey.
In January 2016 FAG contributor B. Roorda found that in 1916 Mrs. Augusta G Brownwood was living [alone] at 1831 Curtis Street, Denver, Colorado. Her husband Cornelius Brownwood died intestate (zonder testament) on 8 February 1919 in Denver with a small amount of money in his estate that went to his children John C., Nicholas, Cornelius Jr. and Catrina Brownwood Rutter. His wife Augusta was not mentioned. So it looks that they were divorced.
In January 1920 Augusta Brownwood (60 [has to be: 65], Holland, widow) was a servant at the home of Joseph Garf (45, Russia) and his wife and two daughters in South Denver, 1139 St. Paul Street, Colorado.
It's not unlikely that she died before 1930 in Denver, Colorado.
