It may be of interest to you that as of today the city archive of the community of Tholen, which includes Sint Philipsland, has its own website: http://www.archieftholen.nl/. It specializes in data going back to before 1811.
I have also taken the liberty of adding the 6 surnames you mention in this post, to my blog http://patmcast.blogspot.com/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html.
