GENEALOGIA KLERCKIANA:

ORIGINAL TEXT AND TRANSLATION BY DR HENK DEYS

ORIGINAL TEXT

De Famielje genaamt Klerck is van die branche uit Bohemen die sig noemt Klerck van Petersheim off Petersom, het welke zeer na overeen komt met het wapen dat bij de zelve gevoerd word, als twee gekruijste sleutels met ronde ogen, en knuijsten als in de tekening te sien is. Swart op een silver veld: (zijnde het wapen van St. Pieter of St. Peter ook sleutels gekruist, dog gans anders in de couleuren) dese famielje ofte wel twee {vader en zonen} jonghelingen van die naam gebroeders waren in dienst in qualiteit van {kamerheer en} pages bij Frederik Paltsgraaf aan den Rhijn: die gekroont is tot koning van Bohemen den 4 Novb: 1619, dog ondanks de Roomsgezinden, die geen Protestant op den Rijkszetel wilden dulden: dus kwam men aan weerskanten in ‘t gemeen, men wierd handgemeen op den Wittenbergh bij Praag den 8 novb: 1620. Dog Bucquoij behield den zege; en de koning vond zig genoodzaakt te vlugten, vorders zijn land te verlaten en in de Nederlanden een schuilhoek te zoeken. Nani, Venetie bl: 155. Duitsche florus 15 bl behalven Mireeus, Gramondus etc. Dese koning is getrout geweest met Elisabeth, dogter van Jacobus de 1e Koning van Engeland of Groot Britt: en hij is te Rhenen gekomen in 1621. Heeft gewoont in ‘t huijs thans in 1790 nog bewoont bij Mevr: de Wed: Smisaart in de Weverstraat. Zedert ook

TRANSLATION

The family by the name of Klerck is of the branch from Bohemia which calls itself Klerck of Petersheim or Petersom, very similar to the coat of arms that was used by the family: two crossed keys with rounded eyes and clutches, as can be seen in the drawing. Black on a silver field: (being the coat of arms of St. Peter, with crossed-keys, but a very different colour). This family – young men of that name, brothers, were in service as footmen with Fredric Palatinate [count palatine] along the Rhine river, crowned as King of Bohemia on 4 November 1619, in spite of the Romanists, who didn’t tolerate a Protestant on the throne of the empire: thus on both sides they clashed and a battle arose [?] on the Wittenberg near Prague on 8 November 1620. Bucquoij conquered the king and he was forced to flee, moreover to leave his country and to search for asylum in The Netherlands. Nani, Venice page 155. Duitsche florus 15 pages except Mirees, Gramondus etc. This king was married to Elizabeth, daughter of James I, King of England & Great Britain: he came to Rhenen in 1621. He lived in the house still occupied in 1790 by the widow of Mr. Smissaart, in Weaverstreet. Since then called Kingstreet as well, until the Lords of the Estates of Utrecht, at

genaamt de Koningstraat, tot dat de Heeren Staaten s’Lands van Utrecht, op verzoek van die van Rhenen in 1628 gedaan, het Convent van St. Agniete hebben doen vertimmeren en geapproprieert tot een woonhuis voor gedachte Zijn Koninklijke Majesteit. Te zien in de notulen van Heren Gedeputeerden 30 decb: 1628. En is alzo deze famielje Klerck uit het Koninkrijk Bohemen en uit de stad Praag (bij overlevering) alhier en heeft zig gesoutineert in aanzien, schoon edel dog zonder zig op den adel te proneren tot op den huijdige dag, 1790, in de regering der stad Rhenen en hebben ook zommigen hooge en lage militaire charges bekleed en in andere regeringen, en zijn aan diverse aansienlijke familien in Nederland getrout geweest. Petersom zal ‘t moeten wesen, (schoon dHr Van Wachendorf (een groot genealogist) mij zeide de famielje naam te zijn Van Petersheim. Mischien heb ik ‘t fout onthouden: dan is mij gebleken dat er eenen Heer Van Petersom is geweest in ‘t gevolg van gemelde keurvorst van de Paltz en van wegen den zelven gezonden na den Hage 1623 om eene stilstand van wapenen te verkrijgen: Ziet Gedenkschriften van Jonkhr. Alexander van de Cappellen 1e deel pag: 1. Vooral pag. 165 en 170 en 159.

Fol: 1 Genealogia Familia Klerck Zo veel als ik tot hier heb konnen ontdekken zo door overleveringe der oude tante Marta Maria Klerck die heden in ‘t 84 jaar nog bij haar volkomen verstand is, als door diverse rouwbrieven, andere papieren, wapenborden, en ook gevonden wapens der famielje en na een tijd van meer dan thien jaren in dese order gebragt met veel moeite bijeen verzamelt door D. Klerck I.U.D. (Dit is het merk om met één opslag mijn regte linie te vinden ). Gerard Klerck trout Alijt van Wijck, NB uijt die stam die zig noemt Van Asch van Wijck. hun zoon was

request of the municipality of Rhenen, converted the Convent of St. Agnes into a residence for His Royal Majesty. According to the minutes of the County Eldermen [Deputees of the Province] of 30 December 1628.

So this Klerck family from the Kingdom of Bohemia and from the city of Prague live here as people of high distinction, though noble but without pretences, to this day, 1790, in the municipality of Rhenen, and some of them have reached high positions and exercised various military duties and can also be found in various government positions, and were married to several important families in The Netherlands. It should be Petersom (though Mr. Van Wachendorf (a great genealogist) told me the name was Van Petersheim). Probably I recalled it wrongly: then I realised that there had been a Mr. Van Petersom in the entourage of the mentioned palatinate of the Pfaltz who was sent to The Hague in 1623 to promote an armistice: See the Memories of Jonkheer Alexander van de Cappellen Part I page 1. Especially pages 165, 170 and 159.

Fol: 1 Genealogia Familia Klerck

As far as I can ascertain from aunt Mary Klerck who is 84 and still has all her faculties, by several letters of condolence and other papers, hatchments, and also from recovered coats of arms of the family, and after a period of more than 10 years brought into order and collected with much effort by D. Klerck I.U.D. (This is the mark to find my direct family line at a glance ).

[32bis] Deze Klerck op fol: 33 was vader van Gerard Klerck en van Willem Klerck, en woonde (volgens overlevering) in ‘t Rhenense Veen alwaar hij een zeer gegoed man was, dog zijn voornaam niet kunnende ontdekken giste ik off wel deselve Cornelis mogte geheten hebben, omdat de oudste zoon van Gerard Klerck en ook de eenige zoon van Willem Klerck, Cornelis genaemt zijn, waarschijnlijk na hunnen grootvader (gelijk zulks veel de manier is) dan ik heb zulks hier neven niet bij gezet, na dat ik casueel dit volgende ontdekt had, in ‘t politie boek op de secretarij te Rhenen, Den 23 Meij 1623 is dHr. Cornelis Clercq en wonende in Venendael, als gevolmagtigde van de Buurmeesters aldaar, in de magistraat te Rhenen verschenen, tot etc. Zijnde in ‘t Jaar 1623 Corn: Klerck die op folio 39 staat nog niet in de wereld, gelijk op fol: 209 te zien is, nog ook Corn: Kl: op fol: 58a en fol: 227 beide te zien.

34 Dat de moeder van Gerard Klerck De Kemp geheten heeft blijkt uit de agt kwartieren van de Sijndicus Klerck, de welke getekent op parkement, mij ter hand zijn gestelt, door Neev Van Asch van Wijck Burgemeester te Utrecht, die deselve waarschijnlijk in den boedel van Stek zal gevonden hebben, ‘t zelve is getekent met Lettr C. Ook ziet men daar de grootmoeder van Gerard Klerck die Van Wijck is, ‘t selve is hier agter gecopieert op fol. 199.

mother’s mother and her mother

31 Gerard Klerck and Alijt Van Wijck; about these see page 34.

[32bis]

This Klerck on page 33 was the father of Gerard Klerck and of Willem Klerck, and lived (by tradition) in Rhenen’s peat-moor [Veenendaal] where he was a well-to-do man, but because I don’t know his Christian name, I guessed his name could have been Cornelis, because the name of eldest son of Gerard Klerck, and the only son of Willem Klerck as well, was Cornelis, probably named after their grandfather (because this is common practice). I didn’t write these facts without having discovered casually the following in the minute-book of the Town Clerk of Rhenen, On May 1623 Cornelis Klerck, residing in Venendael, made his appearance in the magistrate of Rhenen, as proxy of the polder-board, etc. In the year 1623 Cornelis Klerck, mentioned on page 39, wasn’t yet on earth, nor Cornelis Klerck of page 58a and page 227.

Cornelis Klerck De Kemp married couple

34

That the mother of Gerard Klerck was named De Kemp appears from the eight quarters of the Syndicus [special counsellor] Klerck, which is drawn on parchment, and shown to me by nephew Van Asch van Wijck, Mayor of Utrecht, who probably found the drawing in the property of Stek, the drawing being marked with the letter C. There one can see the grandmother of Gerard Klerck as well, who is a Van Wijck, which is copied on page 199.

Johan Smuijsers and Lady Sara Sanen. His children are Dirk Willem Klerck, mentioned on page 69. Died unmarried, and Johanna Huberta Klerck, married to captain Elin Magnus Roth, about them see page 71.

¶ this appeared to me casually in September 1774, being in Amsterdam, I came upon a book titled Hendrik Brunos Mengelmoes etc. 1st part printed at Leyden 1666. Therein I found a latin verse with the following title: page 161 in Nuptuas Nobilissimi, Amplissimique e vini D. Cornelii Klerckii. JC et in illustri ad res Maritimas in Westfrisia Borealique Hollandia Consiliarii, et Lectissima Castissimaque Virginis Johannae Smuijsers. Beginning with: Spara pater, cui se Prali miracula debent, This satisfied me the more because we had 2 paintings or portraits at home, about which I was told by an old aunt that it was a Mr. Smuijsers and his wife, who was a pensioner here, but she told not to know whether they were of our family; therefore I think with good reason that they are the father and mother of the abovementioned Johanna Smuijsers. And the copper plate found in the house, with two coats of arms on page 226 would have been served to be attached above the abovementioned marriage-poem, and so I guess with good reasons that it should be the coat of arms of the Smuijsers family.

LETTER OF DR DEYS WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE TRANSLATED GENEALOGIA KLERCKIANA

Dear Michael, Pierre and Sheila [MvPK, APF, SCF (APF’s wife)]

Here I present to you, with pride, my work on the Genealogia Klerckiana. Please correct my English, and make a choice of the words, I proposed between [brackets]. You should only consider the right column. Please ‘delete’ my wrong words by underlining, en give your choice between brackets, so I know what you mean. Words between (parentheses) are in the manuscript originally written between (). Quite a lot of times the author of the manuscript (Dirck Klerck) made remarks on added documents, which were marked with a letter A or so. Therefore, I think originally there must have been a collection of several documents, belonging to the manuscript. The Latin texts will be translated on a later moment. I will go on holiday for a week, and I won’t have you to wait any longer. But still you have to know about some Dutch historical facts. During the period from about 1570 to 1700 the Netherlands was a union of 17 provinces: The United Netherlands, or The United 17 Provinces. Each province had a certain independence, and had a provincial gouvernement (like still today): the States of the Province of (Holland, Utrecht, Friesland, Zeeland etc.). The daily work of those provincial states was done by the Deputees. All the 17 provinces (later only 7 remained, now we have 12) were united under a national gouvernment, the States General, with delegates of all provinces. Head of the state was a Stadholder, a Prince of Orange, most of them were called Willem (William). The officials all ruled from The Hague (like today), which was the centre of political power, and not in Amsterdam. Amsterdam was the most important city concerning trade and money-power. From here the great naval power (both military and trade) was ruled. The trade company, (which was the first Multinational company in the world), which traded with the East Indies (Indonesia) was called the United East Indian Company, the V.O.C. To the West trade was made by the Western Indian Company, the W.I.C. Later, about 1800, the southern provinces separated, they

74

now belong to Northern France and Belgium. That is why many Klerck’s lived in Brussels, Louvain, Liege, Namur, Hainault and the like, now belonging to Belgium, but in their time still The Netherlands. About 1795, there was a great revolution in our country. Because of French influence, in the Netherlands the Patriottic party overruled the nationalists (belonging to the prince of Orange) and many French ideas (democracy, ‘away with the traditional ‘higher’ people’ etc.) were introduced. Napoleon occupied the Netherlands about 1798 until we were freed and became a kingdom in 1813. In this time the scutcheons had to be removed out of the churges.

There are some more details you have to know. In The Netherlands, we speak about Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones and Miss Jones as: de Heer Jansen and Mevrouw Jansen and Mejuffrouw Jansen. When Mr. Jones has a degree in Law, we call him Mr. Jansen (Meester Jansen), in English this is Master Jones I think. So, in the Genalogia Klerckiana, Mr. Fredrick Klerck is a master in law. I have translated this as Master Fredrick Klerck. When such a Master wrote a thesis, he was doctorated, and in older days, the letters I.U.D. (or J.V.D.) were added, which means Iuris Utriusque Doctor (Doctor in both sciences of Law).

Please inform me, if there are still matters being unclear to you. I will prepare a general introduction to the manuscript, with remarks like above here, and more information. When you will not succeed in having the manuscript printed, the Historical Socity of Rhenen (of which I am the president) will try to have it published.

Well folks, that will be enough for now. Have a lot of fun by reading the text. But please do not give away the text to others, because families or other Klerck’s will photocopy it, and later they will not be interested any more to buy the booklet!

With greeting, Henk Deys Rhenen, 19 October 2000

LETTER OF DR DEYS WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE CD WITH PHOTOS OF THE HAND-DRAWN

COATS OF ARMS IN GENEALOGIA KLERCKIANA Here is a short comment on the translation of the Genealogie Klerckiana, the original book with the genealogy of the Klerck family. This book is kept in the State Archive of Kaapstad (Cape Town). The translation was made from a microfilm copy that is kept now in the town-archive of the city of Rhenen, The Netherlands. The JPG-files on this CDROM are made by a digital camera from a copy that was made of the original book at about the same time of the writing of the original. Some JPG-files are of photographs of the original copy. Most of the files are named after the page on which the painting is represented. So page 229.jpg represents the picture on that page. The files with Klerckiana are photographs of the original book of Kaapstad. Most of the photographs were corrected by image-editing software. On the back of the leather binding in gold are impressed the letters GENEALOOIA KLERCKIANA, misspelled by the impressor. The title on the copy is identical, bearing the same misspelling. The pages and the drawings of the coats of arms in both copies are identical. The names of the families and other writings however are absent in the copy. In the Word-translation of the Genealogia Klerckiana on this CD, words originally written between (parentheses) in the manuscript, in this translation are written between () as well. Often the the opening parenthesis is present, but the closing bracket is forgotten. Quite a lot of times the author of the manuscript (Dirck Klerck) made remarks concerning added documents, which were marked with a letter A, B, C or so. Therefore, I think originally there must have been a collection of several documents, belonging to the manuscript. Some historical facts and practical expressions are explained here.

During the period from about 1570 to 1700 The Netherlands consisted of a union of 17 provinces: The United Netherlands, or The United 17 Provinces. Each province had a certain independence, and had a provincial gouvernement (like still today): the States of the Province of (Holland, Utrecht, Friesland, Zeeland etc.). The daily work of those provincial states was done by the deputees. All the 17 provinces (later only 7 remained, now we have 12) were united under a national gouvernment, the States General, with delegates of all provinces. Head of the state was a Stadholder, a Prince of Orange, most of them were called Willem (William). The officials all ruled from The Hague (like today), which was the centre of political power, and not in Amsterdam. Amsterdam was the most important city concerning trade and money-power. From here the great naval power (both military and trade) was ruled. The trade company, (which was the first Multinational company in the world), which traded with the East Indies (now Indonesia) was called the United East Indian Company, the V.O.C. (i.e. Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). To the West, trade was made by the Western Indian Company, the W.I.C. Later, about 1800, the southern provinces seceded, they now belong to Northern France or Belgium. That is why many Klerck’s lived in Brussels, Louvain, Liege, Namur, Hainault and the like, now belonging to Belgium, but in their time still The Netherlands. Most of these places were important fortificated bases of the Netherlands against attacks of Spain and Austria. Several members of the Klerck family fell in these regions during siege of these strongholds. About 1795, there was a great revolution in The Netherlands. Because of French influance, in The Netherlands the Patriottic party overruled the Nationalists (stalwarts of the prince of Orange) and many French ideas (democracy, ‘away with the traditional ‘higher’ people’ etc.) were introduced. Napoleon occupied the Netherlands about 1798 until freedom was acquired and the country became a kingdom in 1813. During French occupation all the scutcheons had to be removed out of all the churches. Some more information. In The Netherlands, one speaks about the English Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones and Miss Jones as: de Heer Jansen and Mevrouw Jansen and Mejuffrouw Jansen. When Mr. Jones has a degree in Law, he is called Mr. Jansen (Meester Jansen), in English this is Master Jones. So, in the Genalogia Klerckiana, Mr. Fredrick Klerck is a master in law. I have translated this as Master Fredrick Klerck. When such a Master wrote a thesis, he was doctorated, and in older days, the letters I.U.D.

APPENDIX

KLERCK FAMILY HISTORY BY PAMA

Verbatim from a chapter entitled “Dutch Aristocrats” (p 61-63) in Pama C, 1973. Vintage Cape Town. Cape Town

and Johannesburg: Tafelberg Uitgewers Beperk. A family of much the same aristocratic rank as the Van Rheedes were the Klercks. It is probably unique in South Africa that a family not only possesses the portraits of its ancestors who came to the Cape in the eighteenth century, but also has a picture of the house built by them, graced by a decorated pediment on which they placed their joint coat of arms. In addition the Government Archives also possesses a fine hatchment of the man, complete with the arms of his sixteen paternal and maternal ancestors, the ‘seize quartiers’, and the arms of his two wives. And as if that were not enough, the same archives also possesses a beautifully executed family chronicle, with still more coats of arms, the ‘Genealogia Klerckiana’ cal[l]igraphed, according to the title page, by MC Volhard in 1770. It is well worth a visit to the archives in Queen Victoria Street to see and admire these interesting relics. According to the manuscript the family came originally from Bohemia (Czechoslovakia) where they were known as Klerck von Petershem. [Incorrect: von Petersom, also spelt as von Petersheim] One of their members was a page in the service of Frederick of Bohemia, the well-known ‘Winter King’, fled with him to Holland when all was lost, and settled in 1613 in the town of Rhenen. [Incorrect: a Klerck was the Chamberlain (right-hand man) to the King and he had two sons who were pages to the King] Again according to Volhard,

85

[Incorrect: Volhard was the calligrapher, not the author] they then dropped the Von Petershem [von Petersom] part of their surname, now simply calling themselves Klerck and retaining only the coat of arms with the two keys of St Peter to remind them of their origin. It is a touching story but unfortunately, as so many similar ones, it was unable to survive modern genealogical research. Volhard [Incorrect: Volhard was the calligrapher, not the author] himself was not very sure about it when he wrote it down, and had to confess ‘perhaps I have not remembered it too well.’ [Incorrect: Dirck KLERCK’s words were “Mischien heb ik ‘t fout onthouden”, and he was referring to the name Petersom / Petersheim, not to the Bohemian origin – see Book 2] He was right in this assumption because the documented genealogy in the ‘Nederland’s Adelsboek’, the equivalent of the British Debrett, relates quite a different story. If there was ever any Bohemian origin, the authors did not discover it. It appears, in fact, that the Klercks always lived at Rhenen and that the oldest known ancestor was a Cornelis Gerritszoon Clerck, who is mentioned there in 1574 and died in 1585. The builder of the Cape House, Willem Jan Klerck, was his descendant in the seventh generation. But even without the Bohemian ancestry the family was distinguished enough to serve for many generations in the Rhenen town council, and in 1833 were ennobled by King Willem II of the Netherlands. Willem Jan was also born at Rhenen, obtained a commission in the Dutch navy and finally became a naval captain and Commander of the frigate ‘De Swaluw’ between 1791 and 1793. The frigate went to the Dutch East Indies and this brought Klerck to the Cape where he met Aletta Wilhelmina Deneys. They became engaged and after they had married Klerck decided to leave the navy and settle permanently at the Cape. It was probably in this period that he built the house in Boomstraat, now Commercial Street. Today it is a street of warehouses and wholesalers, but when called Boomstraat and even earlier when it was known by the aristocratic-sounding name of Ridderstraat (Knight Street) it was a much sought-after residential area in which civil servants of the Dutch East India Company of the highest ranks used to live. Colin Graham Botha gave a charming picture of them as they sat on their stoeps, discussing current affairs while smoking their long Gouda clay pipes. In Klerck’s time the retired Ad Interim Fiscal Gabriel Exter lived there and he himself was no

86

less important a personality. What Klerck did during the first British occupation I have been unable to discover except that, according to the Cape Directory of 1800, he still lived in Boomstraat and evidently had not left the country. When the Dutch returned he was appointed Weesmeester (Master of the Orphan Chamber) in 1804 and later, under the second British administration, he became a Receiver of Revenue. His wife Aletta Wilhelmina Deneys belonged to a family who was already for several generations in the service of the Dutch East India Company. Her father, Jacob Pieter, born at the Cape, was eventually appointed to the rank of Merchant and placed in charge of the Company’s possession of Sadraspatnam, on the coast of Coromandel, in India. It was here that Aletta was born. In 1791 Deneys was made a prisoner of war by the British but later exchanged against a certain George Proctor. Back at the Cape he became Ad Interim Fiscal. The coat of arms of the Deneys’s was a horse ‘regardant’ and when Klerck’s house was finished he combined this coat of arms with his own arms, showing the keys, and placed them on the pediment. I know of no other examples of heraldic decorations on houses at the Cape and it was probably unique, although obviously fashioned after examples in Holland where such heraldic decorations were quite common, especially in Amsterdam. On his seal, still preserved in the Cape Archives, Klerck also placed the combined arms of himself and his wife. That was not unusual in his time either, although less so at the Cape. It may be wishful thinking but because of this persistent habit of combining the two arms one cannot help feeling that perhaps Klerck and his wife were very much in love with each other and showed it in this heraldic way. However, it may also have been nothing more than convention. In any case, when Aletta died in December 1816 Klerck remarried, hardly three months later, with Catharina Maria Munnik, which seems unduly quick. The arms of both wives were placed on the hatchment which now hangs in the museum of the Cape Archives, the Munnik arms being ‘canting’: a monk with a rosary. The house in Boomstraat remained known as Klerck House even after the family no longer lived there. When Arthur Elliott photographed it about 1900 it already looked rather neglected, and it was demolished before Cape Town had learned to treasure its worthy antiquities. The two-storeyed house with its heraldic pediment was no doubt one of the more interesting houses of the city and had certainly merited preservation, even if the street in which it stood had completely lost its original dignified character. Willem and Aletta had five children and from their two sons the present family descends. They retained their ties with Holland longer than was usual: a century ago one of them still served in the Netherlands navy, and even today they have

87

relatives in Holland as some of the family married there. The ennobled branch of the family became extinct in 1926 and because of this some of the old family heirlooms were sent to the surviving branch in South Africa, amongst them the ‘Genealogia Klerckiana’ manuscript. At the Cape they always remained a small family and are often confused with the more numerous De Klerks to whom they are not related. Most members went into the professions and the majority of them now live in the Transvaal. Note: italics ours (MvPK and APF).

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON MARIANNE CATHERINE KLERCK-VAN HOGENDORP

(http://gw.geneanet.org/johanniswijken?iz=931&lang=en&n=van+hogendorp&oc=1&p=marianne+catharine; slight editing) Sociaal hervormster en feministe. Geboren 1 Augustus 1834 te Den Haag. Overleden 17 September 1909 te Lausanne (Zwitserland). Zij werd geboren als jonkvrouw Mariane Catherine van Hogendorp, dochter van jonkheer Dirk van Hogendorp (?-1845) (na het overlijden van zijn oudste broer op 10 juli 1838 graaf van Hogendorp), raadsheer in het Gerechtshof, en jonkvrouw Mariane Catherine van Hogendorp (?-1878), evangelisch sociaal hervormster; haar zus is jonkvrouw Anna van Hogendorp (1841-1915), sociaal hervormster, feministe en publiciste. Op 18 November 1875 trad zij in het huwelijk met jonkheer Aarnout Klerck (1820-1876), secretaris-generaal op het departement van Marine. Dit huwelijk bleef kinderloos. Marianne van Hogendorp werd geboren in een Haagse adellijke familie. Haar jeugd en latere leven werden sterk beïnvloed door het orthodox-protestantse Reveil, een religieuze vernieuwingsbeweging waar haar beide ouders aanhangers van waren. Haar moeder, gravin Mariane van Hogendorp-van Hogendorp, een evangelisch sociaal hervormster, betrok haar en haar zusters Anna en Wilhelmina bij het armenwerk onder behoeftige weduwen en bij zendingswerk en zondagsschool. Marianne nam de financiële ondersteuning van de eerste 'bewaar- en naaischool' van haar moeder over. Ook was zij presidente van de Vereeniging 'Vrienden der Armen', opgericht door haar moeder in 1847. In 1875 trouwde zij met jonkheer Aarnout Klerck, dat al na elf maanden eindigde door het overlijden van haar echtgenoot. Zij hertrouwde niet meer en was bekend als douairière oftewel weduwe Marianne Klerck-van Hogendorp. In 1883 maakten de zusters Van Hogendorp kennis met Josephine Butler, leidster van de abolitionistische beweging, die in Groot-Brittannië de voor vrouwen discriminerende zedelijkheidswetgeving bestreed en vocht voor de afschaffing van de zogeheten reglementering van prostitutie. In 1884 richtte zij met haar zus Anna van Hogendorp de Nederlandsche Vrouwenbond tot Verhooging van het Zedelijk Bewustzijn op, waarvan Marianne de eerste presidente was tot 1909. Naast het beïnvloeden van overheidsbeleid werd prostitutie ook praktisch bestreden door middel van het uitdelen van informatie

op stations aan alleen reizende vrouwen (het ‘stationswerk’) en het doorsturen naar Tehuizen waar zij tijdelijk konden verblijven. Marianne Klerck-van Hogendorp zag de verschijnselen waarvoor zij streed eerst als gevolg van 'de ontzettende zonde die ons volk verteert', maar al snel bracht zij ze in verband met de 'dubbele zedewet', waarvan vrouwen het slachtoffer waren. Hierdoor ging zij in de jaren tachtig van de negentiende eeuw deel uitmaken van de toentertijd groeiende beweging voor vrouwenrechten. In 1894 werd zij lid van de pas opgerichte Vereeniging voor Vrouwenkiesrecht. Zij zette zich ook in voor de concubines van Nederlandse militairen in Nederlands-Indië en de uit deze relaties voortgekomen kinderen. In 1895 werd mede door haar inspanningen een afdeling van de Vrouwenbond in Nederlands-Indië opgericht: de Vereeniging tot Bevordering van de Zedelijkheid in de Nederlandsche Overzeesche Bezittingen. Voor de Nationale Tentoonstelling van Vrouwenarbeid in 1898 organiseerden Marianne Klerck-van Hogendorp en Anna van Hogendorp samen met niet-protestantse vrouwen een congres over zedelijkheid: de Driedaagsche Samenkomst tot Bevordering der Openbare Zedelijkheid. Op dit congres sprak zij openlijk over de mannen die prostituees bezochten, dit waren ‘onze echtgenooten, onze broeders, onze vaders dikwijls”. In 1898 nam zij het initiatief tot de vorming van een Nederlandse afdeling van de International Council of Women: de Nationale Vrouwenraad van Nederland waarvan zij de eerste presidente werd. Rond 1900 verdween de reglementering van prostitutie, waarna de Vrouwenbond zich met andere organisaties richtte tegen vrouwenhandel en voor een wet tegen bordelen. Marianne Klerck-van Hogendorp was de mede-initiatiefneemster van een Nationaal Comité tot Bestrijding van den Handel in Vrouwen, dat in 1900 werd opgericht. Marianne Klerck-van Hogendorp bleef actief tot haar gezondheid verslechterde. Zij stierf in 1909 tijdens een zomerreis in Zwitserland. Zij maakte de invoering van een bordeelwet en een verbod op vrouwenhandel in de zedelijkheidswetgeving in 1911 niet meer mee.
