By the twelfth century, and for many years thereafter, their castle at <a href="/wiki/Coevorden" title="Coevorden">Coevorden</a>, in the Province of <a href="/wiki/Drenthe" title="Drenthe">Drenthe</a>, was an important fortress on the eastern frontier. George Vancouver was aware of this. In July 1794, he named the <a href="/wiki/Lynn_Canal" title="Lynn Canal">Lynn Canal</a> "after the place of my nativity" and Point Couverden (which he spelt incorrectly) "after the seat of my ancestors". Vancouver's great grandfather, Reint Wolter van Couverden, was probably the first of the line to establish an English connection. While serving as a squire at one of the German courts he met Johanna (Jane) Lilingston, an English girl who was one of the ladies in waiting. They were married in 1699. Their son, Lucas Hendrik van Couverden, married Vancouver's grandmother, Sarah. In his later years he <i>probably</i> anglicized his name and spent most of his time in England. By the eighteenth century, the estates of the van Couverdens were mostly in the Province of <a href="/wiki/Overijssel" title="Overijssel">Overijssel</a>, and some of the family were living in <a href="/wiki/Vollenhove" title="Vollenhove">Vollenhove</a>, on the <a href="/wiki/Zuider_Zee" class="mw-redirect" title="Zuider Zee">Zuider Zee</a>.
