Pieter Boijens 1 of the farm Klip Valleij in the Wagenmakers Vallei in 1730 and in 1766 two farms, named De Leeuwen Valleij and De Krommer Revier 2 Heemraad born Blokzeijl 3 Notes: He appears in the Muster Rolls of free settlers. Possibly the first entry for him is that of 1712, although the name there is Joan Pieter Boeijns, where he appears with other single men. From 1713 to 1717 he appears as a single man, in 1713 as Joan Booijen, after that as Pieter Booijens, his name always appearing in the lists after that of Pieter Erasmus and his wife Maria Elisabeth Joosten - Perhaps he was working as a knegt for them. They were closely associated with the Blom family, and in the 1718 Musters Pieter Booijens and Geertruij Blom appear together as man and wife, living in Drakenstein. (Cape Archives VC 49)
