Stephanus Buys 1 of Roggeveld 2 born 1727 3 baptized 13 July 1727, Cape Town 4 died circa 1769, (assumed from date of inventory) 5 Notes: The children appear in the order given in the the inventory drawn up in 1769 after the death of their father - all six childeren were still alive in 1831 when they were listed in the estate accounts of their deceased mother. In 1750 he petitioned the Council of Policy, asking to be allowed 'to open a school in which to teach reading, writing and arithmetic as well as the elements of the Reformed Religion which he pro- fesses'. (Leibbrandt, H.C.V. - Requesten (Memorials) 1715-1806, page 82n) At the time of his death they would seem to have been farming in a very small way in the Roggevelt, judging from the Inventory of his goods dated 19 February 1769. for a note on his parentage see below#

# The parents of Stephanus Buys I have assumed that he was the Stephanus Buys born to Barend Buys and Alida van den Berg and baptised 13th July 1727 in the Cape Town church. Although his mother did not die until 1762 she did not stand as witness at the baptism of any of his children, but his sister Catharina Buys and her husband Sirke Janse, did, as also did his sister Lacija.
