Maria Kickers born Amsterdam 1 Notes: Before the Council of Justice, in 1700, in the business of the divorce, she declared all her children from the existing marriage had been engendered not by her husband (due to his incapacity) but by Frederick Boot, and that her husband himself encouraged this ('en dat haren man haar daartoe selfs aanleijding soude hebben gegeeven'). The muster roll of 1701 (dated 31st January 1702) lists Frederik living in Stellenbosch with eight children, and Maria listed on her own but also in Stellenbosch , apparently living apart from them. In 1706 she and Frederick were found guilty of co-habiting, as far as I can gather because this still constituted adultery on her part, even though her husband had divorced her in 1700, presumably because she was not given leave to marry again. Before this court she declared, rather en- dearingly, it seems to me, that she and Frederick had sworn troth to each other, just as though they were truly married to each other and that they had lived together for several years as man and wife, and had together produced eight children. The court was not impressed. In 1713 Jan Cornelis van Oudbeijerland died and they were free to marry.
