children of Anna Retief and Pierre Rousseau Anna Rousseau born 1691 born 1691 4 baptized 8 July 1691, Stellenbosch 5 Maria Rousseau Notes: I have not, so far, found her baptism, nor any document listing her age, but this seems a likely area for her birth, since she married in 1711. Magdalena Rousseau Notes: De Villiers / Pama gives her a marriage date of 5.5.1714 but I cannot find this in the extant marriage registers of the time. Generaale Opneemrolle 31 April, 1 & 2 Mei 1716 VC 49, p. 328, Drakensteijn Jan Louis du Plesis en Magdalena Rosseau Aletta Rousseau Notes: I have not, so far found a baptism or age for her, but she appears as one of the four children of Pieter Rousseau in the inventory, dated 3 March 1719, who had not yet received their inheritance portion from their mother's estate. There she is listed ahead of her three brothers Gabriel, Pieter and Daniel, probably implying that she was the eldest of the four. Since we have no idea of when she was born she could have been any age at this date. This allows a wide latitude for guesswork and it would be a good idea to examine the opgaaf returns for statistics on the children. Meanwhile I have located her in the largest space available amongst her sibllings.
