Arnoldus Willemsz Basson died 1691 Angela van Bengale died circa 1720 Johannes Basson 1675-circa 1706 Zacharia Jansz Visser circa 1667-circa 1721

Arnoldus Johannes Basson 1 of Vrolijkhijd, beyond the Roodezand 2 born 1702 baptized 26 February 1702, Stellenbosch 3 died circa 1742, (assumed - moveble goods sold October 1742) 4 Notes: The farmsteads Misgunt on the Wageboomrivier and Uijtnood on the Kijsersrivier are also listed as among his effects in the inventory drawn up after his death. He was baptised Arnoldus, but in later life was known as Arnoldus Johannes, the second name presumably a type of patronymic to distinguish him from his cousin Arnoldus Willems Basson. He is not mentioned in the 1713 joint of Zacharia Visser and Andries Krugel, where the children of each party are spelt out. In February Arnoldus Basson brought a complaint to the Weeskamer at the Cape, stating that he was being deprived of his due portion of his mother's estate. Perhaps this why is he was then listed (as a minor) in Zacharia Jansz Visser's Inventory drawn up after her death, in April 1722. He is listed after Lodewijk Putter and before Hendrik Kruger (sic), Mansell Upham writes that he was banned to Batavia for his part in the Etienne Barbier uprising (1739) and after serving his sentence, he died on the return voyage to the Cape. Mansell provides no dates, but a note in the published Resolutions of the Cape of Good Hope, vol .9, gives the date of his sentence as 18 August 1740, and states that he sailed for the Netherlands with the return fleet of 1741and his death occurred in the following year when he was returning on the ship 'Sara Jacoba' under the assumed name of Adriaan Batters.

# The parents of Arnoldus Johannes Basson His son Andries had as baptismal witnesses Andries Krugel and his second wife Maria Ras. Arnoldus and his wife Catharina were witnesses at the baptism of Arnoldus Putter, son of Lodewijk Putter and Anna van der Swaan. A second son of this couple, also named Arnoldus had as baptismal witness Catharina Olivier, at that date the widow of Arnoldus Johannes Basson. I have therefore assumed that he was the same Arnoldus who was baptised as the son of Johannes Basson and Zacharia Visser, which would nicely place the baptismal witness Andries Krugel his step father and Lodewijk Putter his half brother.
