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. (MOOC 9/1/108, Verkoop Conditien).
