 | Notes: | From her Estate Accunts and the sale of her properties on the 20th and 24th September 1728, she would appear to have had two houses in Cape Town, one sold to Christiaan Victor and the other to Jacobus van der Heijden, and two farms, one called De Mosselbank on the Mosselbank River, 62 morgen 16 roeden, original grant 18 September 16983, most recently transferred 3rd and 6th of October 1724, now sold to Gerrit van Nieuwkerken, and the other, named Roodenburgh, described as a house and land, lying on the Rondebosje, extending to 15 morgen and 561 square roeden, first granted on the 5th January 1660 and most recently transferred 9th October 1713, now sold to Christoffel Bok. This property had belonged to her father and is described as his dwelling in the document Hendrik Plooij drew up in favour of his daughter Willemina in 1724.

 Notes: On the 21st August 1728, the Weeskamer decided that she would be lodged with Hendrik de Vries until her marriage with his son Jacob de Vries and that her minor brother, Hendrik Plooij, would also go to live with Hendrik de Vries at the cost of 6 rixdalers per month.

| Wilhelmina Plooij 19 born 1716 born 1716 20 baptized 12 July 1716, Cape Town 21
 Notes: On the 8th October, Jan van Nieuwkerken applied to the Weeskamer for his wife's disabled sister, a minor, to come and live with him and to have funds to buy her a slave maid for her service, costs to be paid, presumably from her inheritance, from the Weeskamer funds. This was approved subject to notice when an appropriate candidate was found. (MOOC 1/6 Weeskamer Notulen, 8th October 1728)
 As his wife's only other sister was already married, I assume that it is Wilhelmina to whom this refers.
