Carel Pietersz: de Jager 1 of De Spiegel Rivier, Swellendam 2 born 1699, at the Cape 3 baptized 24 May 1699, Cape Town 4 died 26 July 1765 5 Notes: The Cape Death notifications, starting 1758, in that year note the following dreadful list of deaths in the Swellendam district: Een soon van Carel de Jager gent. Carel een dogter van Carel de Jager gent. Magdalena een soon van Carel de Jager gent Andries een soon van Carel de Jager gent. Pieter een soon van Carel de Jager gent. Jan een dogter van Carel de Jager gent. Hermina een dogter van Carel de Jager gent. Hester but I don't think they can all have been Carel de Jager's children. It nevertheless suggests something dreadful happened in that year. for a note on his parentage see below#

# The parents of Carel Pietersz: de Jager There is no direct evidence, but I have assumed that Carel Pietersz: de Jager, married in 1725 and 1726 was the same person as the child Carel baptised in 1699. Witness at the baptism of his first son was Andries Pieterzen De Jager, at that of his second son Elisabeth Potgieter, wife of Andries de Jager, at that of his daughter Johanna was Christiaan de Jager, and at that of his daugher Magdalena, Lourens de Jager.
