Cornelis Cornelisz Mostert Sara Janse Sarra died circa 1681

Jan Cornelisz Mostert 1 born Utrecht 2 died 1718, probably 3 will dated 14 December 1717 4 Notes: So far as I can see his marriage in 1672 is the first record of his presence at the Cape. There are a number of men named Jan Cornelisz listed in both the muster rolls of free settlers and of Company servants, but none with the birth place of Utrecht (but the Company's rolls of this date generally do not record birth place. The Vrijboek of 1681 (Nationaal Archief, Den Haag, VOC: Over- gekomen brieven en papieren uit Kaap de Goede Hoop en Mauritius aan de Heren XVII en de kamer Amsterdam, Inventory: 4017 (1681-1682) - supplied by Corney Keller), has the following entry, however, which might refer to him: Jan Cornelissen van Utrecht soldaat daar voor anno 1661 met 't Wapen van Hollandt voor de Camer Amsterdam aangelant for a note on his parentage see below#

# The parents of Jan Cornelisz Mostert It has long seemed to me probable that he and Wouter Cornelisz Mostert were brothers. Corney Keller has now provided me with the evidence which exists in a Notarial document in the Utrecht Archives, whereby Marritgen Jans, widow of Corneils Cornelisz Mostert, seeks authority for her son Jan Cornelisz Mostert, resident at the Cape, to recover any monies due to her from the estate of her son Wouter Cornelisz Mostert, who has died at the Cape.
