Count Jacques Andres Coghen (31 October 1791 in Brussels – 15 May 1858 in Brussels) was the second Minister of Finance in the Cabinet of Belgium of the Kingdom of Belgium (1831-1832), and a direct ancestor of the current King, Philippe of Belgium. Thus through his mother, Queen Paola, and her ancestor Coghen, King Phillippe is the first king of Belgium whose ancestry is actually Belgian. A founding father of Belgium, Coghen was a merchant, financier, and politician of the Liberal Party.〔English translation of the French Wikipedia article, citing Jean Bartelous, ''Nos Premiers Ministres, de Léopold Ier à Albert Ier'', 1983, Bruxelles, éd. J.M. Collet, p. 23. Translated as ''Our Prime Ministers from Leopold I to Albert I''.〕 He was elevated to the rank of count in 1837.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Chambre des représentants de Belgique (1831-1848) on Unionisme.be website )〕 ==Ancestry== Coghen was the son of Joseph Coghen (1749-1820), an apothecary, and his wife, Isabelle Stielemans, who was a native of Brussels.〔 His paternal grandfather, Jan Baptist Coghen (1717-1773) was born, was married, and died in Brussels. He was descended very remotely, on his father's side, from an old Irish family.〔 His paternal grandmother, Catharina Theresia Huwaerts (1710-1749), was also born and died in Brussels, and her parents, Marie Therese van Cutsem (1668-1726/1727) and Joose Huwaerts (d. 1742), as well as their parents, were also from old Dutch families in the Brussels area (including such families as Ghysels, Walravens, de Broijer, Haeck, de Proost, and de Leenheer).〔 His mother was descended from several ancient Belgian families,〔 from Brussels and Diest, whose ancestors in the sixteenth century appear to have been butchers and merchants, and who in the early seventeenth century included magistrates of the old county of Campine (''Kempen'' in Dutch).〔''French Wikipedia article on Jacques Coghen'', citing these original sources: *Étienne Cogen, ''Jacques-André graaf Coghen : zijn afstamming, leven, werk en nakomelingschap = Jacques-André Comte Coghen : ses origines, sa vie, ses activités et sa descendance'', Gand, 1998.
