Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk circa 1640-before 1699 Trijntje Jans born circa 1637 Arie van Wijk circa 1668-circa 1713 Cornelia Helmes circa 1676-1720

Adriaan van Wijk 1 born 1701 2 baptized 25 December 1701, Stellenbosch 3 died before 1771 4 Notes: There is a contradiciton in the surviving documentary records. There is a baptism for Adrianus, son of Arij van Wijk and Cornelia Helmes in the Stellebosch baptismal register, dated 25 December 1701, and also a reference in the will that Cornelia Helmes drew up in 1720 with her last husband, which lists her children thus: Rolof, Aletta, Willem, Sara, Adriaan, Maria, Catarina and Hester VanWijk. This agrees with with the baptismal evidence. Unfortunately the only reference to him which gives his age is one in the will of his father and mother dated 1713, which reads thus: Roelof aged 18, Aletta 17, Willem 16, Sara 15, Maria 9, Adrianus 8, Catrina 3, and Hester 6 months, which conflicts with the two other references, one earlier and one later than this latter one. In this list of 1713, some of the childrens ages are spot on with their dates of baptism, but Sara and Adriaans would appear to be wrong. I have taken the baptism and the later reference as indicating that there was only one child Adriaan and that he was born c. 1701. Details of his family from the Deceased Estate Accounts of Willem van Wijk d'oude, 1771-72 and those of Sara Fourie also dated 1771-72.
