of Hartebeest Rivier 3

will dated 4 April 1786
and filed 6 September 1794 | | Notes: | After the death of his first wife, Petronella van der Merwe, the
inventory of their goods was drawn up on 3 August 1747 by
Barent Burger, her nephew, and Jacobus van der Merwe, her
brother.
They were farming in a small way on a farm (not named in the)
inventory, but located on the Hartebeeste Rivier : 548 sheep,
47 cattle and 5 horses, two slaves named September and Eva,
and the minimum of household goods.
In their will of 1786, Frans du Toit and Anna Jordaan left the
farm called 'de hartebeeste rivier', situated at the Oliphants
Klip to their two sons Johannes Jacobus and Andries
Stephanus du Toit, on condition that they, the parents, shall
live with the sons on the farm and be cared for in their old
age. |
