He does not appear in the muster rolls of 1678 or 1679 (there are none for 1680 and 1681) but is back in that of 1682, working in partnership with Mattijs Greef, another blacksmith.

children of Jan Jansz: van Eeden and Lysbet Jansz Jan van Eeden born circa 1675 born circa 1675 8 baptized 19 January 1676, Cape Town 9 Notes: In his father's will dated 26th May 1702, he is stated to have already had too much in the way of money from his father, an amount stated to be f 230, and is left a further amount of f 250 with which he must be satisfied. This would have meant that he had no further claim on the estate of Jan Jansz van Eden and when the relevant inventory was drawn up in 1704, this eldest son is consequently not named as one of the heirs. children of Jan Jansz: van Eeden and Maria Rossar Arij van Eeden born 1690 born 1690, at the Cape baptized 16 April 1690, Stellenbosch  married 29 March 1711 Stellenbosch Judith du Plessis 12 Jacobus van Eeden 1692-circa 1713 born 1692 baptized 13 February 1692, Stellenbosch died circa July 1713, perhaps buried 1713, Stellenbosch  married Regina Christina Jonkers 13 1692-1713 Fredrik van Eeden born circa 1694  married Hendrina Stevense 14 Maria Catharina van Eeden 1696-after 1751 born 1696, at the Cape baptized 31 January 1696, Stellenbosch died after February 1751  married (1) 18 February 1714 Stellenbosch Jan Harmensz Potgieter 15 1674-circa 1733  married (2) 13 June 1734 Drakenstein Theunis Botha 16 1686-circa 1746 farmer (1718) of Hoogstede Dirk van Eeden 17 born 1697 born 1697 18 baptized 3 November 1697, Stellenbosch 19 Notes: He is listed as one of the wards of the Orphan Chamber (Weeskamer) in January 1718 and still in December 1719, with an amount of f.300 being held in his name.
