 | | Notes: | He lived presumably somewhere in the area between the Piekenierskloof
and the modern Porterville and Clanwilliam, since from 1737 to around 1770
he was part of the team designated to maintain the roads and drifts from
the Piekenierskloof to Hannes Pijl's farm to het Cruijs.
he appears in the muster rolls of 1711 and 1712, 1718, 1719, 1721, 1722, 1725
and 1733, living in the district of Drakenstein.
In the paden en wagen book (Cape Archives: 1 STB 19/133) he appears under
the district of Drakenstein, in 1711 and 1712 in the team responsible for 'from
the top of the Klapmuts berg to the Paarl', and from 1733 (the next date extant)
in the team known as 'Piekenierskloof', their duty to repair and maintain the
roads and drifts of that area. Also in the latter team are Frans and Alewijn Smit,
Jochem Koekemoer, Arnoldus Johannes Basson, Lodewijk Putter, Jan Olivier
Cornelisz, Theunis van Aard and Hendrik Ras. Cornelis is listed in all extant lists
from 1711 through to the list drawn up around 1769. The next complete listting
starts around 1780.
His sons first appear in the list started 1769, in the team responsible for 'Over
de Olifants Rivier van de plaats van Jacob Mouton de oude tot Barend Lubbe
de jonge'. The dates against this list are 1770 to 1773, and among the names on
this team are Pieter Gouche, Willem Koopman, Hendrik Coopman, Nicolaas Vlok,

On 19th February 1763 he was granted 'Grazing at Onrust, over

Notes: He may be the Cornelis Koopman who
had two baptised two children with Caatje van
de Caap but I have no proof and that Cornelis
may well have been his father.
