Abraham Hendriksz: de Vries
 Ermpje Jacobsz:
Hendrik Abrahamsz de Vries 1
born 1676, Amsterdam 2
baptized 17 July 1676, Amsterdam, Oude Kerk 3
died between 13 April and 22 May 1744 4
will dated 27 April 1718
Notes:
He and his family had lived in the Noordwyk flats area of Mauritius
and upon the abandonment of the Dutch East India Company's
settlement there in 1708, he was one of the Mauritius freemen who
elected to go to the Cape (rather than to Batavia). According to a
letter of 24th August 1708, he requested permission to proceed
with his family from Mauritius to the Cape in the 'Blenheim', an
English ship.

I have not yet established if this was indeed the ship that carried
them to the Cape but the timing seems right since their four chidren
were baptised in Cape Town on 4th November 1708 .
(Source: Leibbrandt - Letters Received 1695-1708,
pages 452, 453 & 472)

His children are listed as per his several wills drawn up jointly with
his second wife, Johanna van Es, and from the latter's Deceased
Estate Accounts of 1745.

He became a member of the Cape Town NGK church on 21 September
1717 when he made his profession of faith with his wife, Johanna van
Es as the witness.
