Bartholomeus Jansz Coopman 1 blacksmith 2 born Utrecht 3 Notes: He first appears at the Cape in 1688 at his marriage to Engeltje Cornelissen van der Bout, one of the eight orphan girls from Rotterdam who arrived at the Cape in March of that year. In 1693 they are listed with three children although I can only find baptisms of two up to this year, in 1695 with 4 children although only 3 baptisms to that date. Would the other child be Allardus Bartholomeus Coopman? Bartholomeus Jansz was recorded as a widower at his marriage in 1688. There are two marriages in the Utrecht registers for a Bartholomeus Jansz and several children baptised, but I have not been able to find one for Alardus. In the monsterollen, dated 31 December 1695, there is a short list of free labourers who are housed with others (Vrijknegten die bij anderen gehuijsvest zijn). Bartholomeus Jansz Koopman is listed amonst these. In 1700 he paid f.3 for the burial of a child (Malan, Ockert, Verlore Dokumentasie oor die Gemeente Stellenbosh, in Capensis : Bartholomeus Koopman voor een kind f.3) I cannot find any record of him after the 1705 muster roll.

Of thee we know that Cornelis and Francina and Maria/Anna Maria, were alive at this date so presumably Annetje was no longer alive, since we know another daughter was named Annetje in 1708 (Cape Town Church registers, baptisms, page 57, 1708)
