Albert Gerritsz Rust Anna Geertruij Rosse

Jan Hendrik Rust 1 koster of the Swartland Church 2 of Waterschilpadskuil, Swartland 3 born circa January 1749, Scherpenzeel in Gelderland 4 baptized 26 January 1749, Scherpenzeel in Gelderland 5 died between March and June 1794, (based on filing date of will) 6 will dated 1 March 1794 and filed 2 July 1794 Notes: He became a member of the Swartland congregation in December 1773. (Swartland memberhsip register, with a note that he had come with an attestation from the fatherland). In 1784 he memorialized the Council of Justice thus: He was Jan Rust, originally from Scherpenzeel, now ex-koster of the Swartland Church. He had been a 'young sailor' (this was a grade) in the service of the Company, and in 1775 he was discharged, in order, at the request of the Swartland Congregation, to enter on the duties of Koster, on condition that if he could no longer perform the same, he would ask for burger papers. Having now been relieved of those duties, he asks for burger rights. (Cape Archives: Requesten, 1784, no. 15) In their will of 1787 his parents-in-law named him an executor of their joint will. When he made his will on the 1st March 1794 he was described as being sick in body, and he presumably died not long afterwards, for the will was filed 2nd July of the same year and in a codicil to her will, dated September 1794, Anna van der Westhuizen, noted that her son-in-law had died. In this will he stated that his parents were no longer living. ------------------- http://vocopvarenden.nationaalarchief.nl/search.aspx Gegevens van Jan Rust uit Scharpenzeel Datum indiensttreding: 31-12-1771 Datum uit dienst: 00-00-1773 Functie bij indiensttreding: Hooploper Reden uit dienst: Gerepatrieerd Uitgevaren met het schip: Groenendaal Plaats of schip: Herstelder Maandbrief: Nee Schuldbrief: Ja Gegevens van de vaart Schip: Groenendaal Vertrek: 31-12-1771 Kamer: Amsterdam Kaap: 16-04-1772 01-05-1772 Inventarisnummer: 6559 Folio: 185 Aankomst: 07-12-1772 Batavia DAS-en reisnr.: 4124.1 --------------- Gegevens van Jan Hendrik Rust uit Scherpenzeel Datum indiensttreding: 14-12-1773 Datum uit dienst: 21-02-1775 Functie bij indiensttreding: Jongmatroos Reden uit dienst: Vrijburger Uitgevaren met het schip: Botland Plaats of schip: Kaap de Goede Hoop Maandbrief: Nee Schuldbrief: Nee Gegevens van de vaart Schip: Botland Vertrek: 14-12-1773 Kamer: Amsterdam Kaap: 24-04-1774 23-05-1774 Inventarisnummer: 6588 Folio: 183 Aankomst: 21-07-1774 Batavia DAS-en reisnr.: 4191.2 -------------------
