children of Pieter Rossouw and Sophia van der Merwe Pieter Rossouw 7 circa 1727-circa 1738 born circa August 1727 baptized 4 October 1727, Drakenstein 8 died circa 1738 9 Notes: According to the inventory drawn up on 15th November 1727, after the death of Sophia van der Merwe, she left one small son aged three months, named Pieter Russou. That this child died in early 1738 is attested by the statment in the inventory drawn up 10 May 1738 after the death of his step mother, Maria Retief, which states her five children had inherited from their late half brother, Pieter Russouw, according to an act of the Weeskamer dated 21 April 1738, the sum of f808-6-9, as recorded by the act of 21 November 1727. Both De Viliers/Pama's Geslagregister and the current edition of South African Genealogies, have this child as being the Pieter Rossouw who married Martha Nortje in 1751. Mariana Olivier, by her research into the original baptismal and estate records, has demonstrated that the Pieter Rossouw who married Martha Nortje was the son of Gabriel Rossouw the uncle of this child. children of Pieter Rossouw and Maria Retief Maria Rossouw 11 born 1730 born 1730 12 baptized 29 January 1730, Drakenstein 13 Francois Rossouw 14 born 1731 born 1731 15 baptized 9 September 1731, Drakenstein 16 Gabriel Rossouw 17 born 1733 born 1733 18 baptized 29 March 1733, Drakenstein 19 Daniel Rossouw 20 born 1735 born 1735 21 baptized 20 February 1735, Drakenstein 22 Anna Rossouw 23 born 1736 born 1736 24 children of Pieter Rossouw and Anna Maria de Vyver Pieter Rossouw 1743-before 1762 born 1743 26 baptized 12 May 1743, Drakenstein 27 died before 1762, (assumed) 28 Elisabeth Rossouw born 1747 born 1747 29 baptized 2 October 1747, Tulbagh 30 Notes: She was mentioned as one of the heirs of her grandfather, Willem van der Vijfver in the inventory of his estate drawn up 9th August 1762.
