Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk circa 1640-before 1699 Trijntje Jans born circa 1637

Arie van Wijk 1 farmer (1713) 2 of Stellenbosch 3 born circa 1668, Amsterdam 4 baptized 18 January 1668, Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam 5 died circa 1713 buried circa 1713, Stellenbosch 6 will dated 29 April 1713 Notes: In his will, dated 1713, he is described as having been born in Amsterdam and being 45 years old. In the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is recorded the baptism of 'Adrian, son of Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk and Trijntje Jans, 18th January 1668. (Amsterdam information kindly supplied by Bob Kernkamp). Since Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans also lived at the Cape, I think we can safely assume that this baptism is his. On 21st September 1688 he was granted permission to move from the Cape to Drakenstein (1 STB 15/2). Also in his will he is desribed as 'sick, confined to bed'. One can speculate that in this year of Smallpox plague that this is what he was suffering from - certainly he died in the same year. For a general discussion of the early Van Wijks see my notes.

Sara van Wijk born 1699 born 1699 14 baptized 29 November 1699, Stellenbosch 15  married Isaak D'Algue 16 died 1759 died 6 April 1759, on board the 'Wunsch' at the Cape 17 Notes: Although known as Isaq d'Algue, it appears that his real name was Johannes Augustus Dreyer. The following note is posted into the Cape Death Notifications (Cape Archives) on page 10 where his death is recorded: Vide wills of the Orphan Chamber vol 11 no 29 of 1795 Will of Isak Dalque (died 6.4.1759) and Sara van Wijk whereinb he states his proper name was Johannes Augustus Dreyer (CGB).

The entry in the General Cash accounts of the Stellenbosch Congregation for 12 Aug 1708 lists three guilders collected for the burial of a child of Arij van Wijk. Gerrit seems the most likely candidate.
