Wemmer Pasman Cornelia Kempenaar died 1713

Margareta Pasman 1 born circa 1688, Stellenbosch 2 baptized 1 July 1693, Stellenbosch 3 Notes: In 1724 they were given permission to use 'the farm Twee Jonge Gezellen for a period of one year'. This permission was renewd annualy until 1728 and they and their family apparently lived here until her husband's death in 1729 and she seems to have continued on the farm until 1741. (From: The Secluded Valley, by Anna Boeseken and Margaret Cairns, Perskor, Cape Town, 1989. Page 93 - information based on records of the Receiver of Land Revenue, RLR 6, 6.2.1724, no.19 and 10, 9.5.1741, page 294) It would seem from other (rather vague as published) evidence, that her two sons Willem and Fredrik, lived with her and presumably helped run the farm. Fredrik died in 1741, Willem was still living with her circa 1748. (see my notes against these two) so the above data needs to be seen in relation to this fact. The family has been reconstructed from the Inventory drawn up after his death in 1729 and the marriage and baptismal records of Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Drakenstein Congregations.

Willem Burger 1714-after 1748 born 1714 10 baptized 14 October 1714, Drakenstein 11 died after 1748 12 Notes: He was still living in September 1729 when he is listed as one of the heirs of his late father in the Inventory signed 12 September 1729. There are opgaaf returns for him dated 1731 (named as Willem Burger j[unio]r, 1738 and 1741 (named as Willem Burger B[arend]zoon) in all of which he is listed as a single man with a horse two guns and blade (degen). There is no listing after that date (computerised opgawen) According to the CD Changing Hands produced by Robert Shell, Cape Archives: 1 STB 13/31 pg 25-55 (Miscellaneious Military Records), lists him as a single man living with Margareta Pasman, widow (his mother). This transcribed information seems to have been forced into an unsuitable database format and comes with no key or explanation. It is, therefore, rather confusing as evidence, but my guess is that this is what is meant by that entry. Fredrik Burger 1714-1745 born 1714 13 baptized 14 October 1714, Drakenstein 14 died 21 September 1745, Tulbagh 15 Notes: He was still living in September 1729 when he is listed as one of the heirs of his late father in the Inventory signed 12 September 1729. Barent Burger 1716-before 1719 born 1716 16 baptized 27 September 1716, Drakenstein 17 died before 1719, (probably) 18 Cornelia Burger born circa 1719  married 19 February 1736 Drakenstein Jan Lodwyk Bouwer
