Elisabeth Wendels 1
born circa 1670, Amsterdam 2
died circa April 1719 3
 | | Notes: | Her Estate Accounts list a house, presumably in Cape Town, and
the farm 'Aan t'pad ende Watergangh', bought by Johannes Louw,
her eldest son, and another farm ' De DoorneKraal', situated in the
Paardeberg, sold to Jacob Malan.
In early 1720 her two eldest children, Beatrix and Johannes Louw,
together with Maria Brakel and Magdalena Wens, drew up an
inventory of the contents of her house. This consisted of a main room
(Voorhuijs) with a room to the left and a room to the right. In the room
on the left were eight assorted paintings and a mirror with a gilded
frame, in the Voorhuijs six small prints and in the left hand room two
little paintings and six little prints. Behind the front rooms came the
Gallery, which from its furnishings (a large oval table, many porcelain
plates, etc) would seem to have been the dining room. The gallery had
a small room off each side. Behind these rooms was the kitchen.
The house, in Cape Town, Block 'DD', which had been purchased 31st
October 1704, was bought by Nicolaas Gockelius 22nd May 1722.

Notes: On 20th June, 1719, he petitioned the Council of Policy at the Cape,
saying that he was the son of the late Pieter Jansz. Louw, and was
aged 24 yearas and 10 months. Although he was still two months
short of the age of 25, when he would be of age, he requested the
Council to grant him 'veniam aetatis', the right to manage his own
affairs.
On 11th May 1719 he bought, from his mother's estate, the two farms
situated in Stellenbosch, 'Aan 't Pad' of 60 morgen and 'Watergang',
of 29 morgen, originally granted in 1692 and 1694, for the sum of 2510
gulden, the guarantors being Maria van Brakel and Sergius
Swellengrebel. (MOOC 9/1/85 and 86, Verkoop Conditien).
