Pieter de Clercq died before 1688 Sara Couchet died 1714

Jannetje de Clercq 1 born Zeeland 2 died circa 1748 3 Notes: Her children and grandchildren are given as listed in the Estate Accounts drawn up in 1748, after her death. De Villiers / Pama (Geslagregister van die Ou Kaapse Families, A.A.Balkema, 1966) suggests that there were two or more Bekker children between Andries Gous, born circa May 1698 and Hester Bekker, born probably around July or August 1700. but I have found no evidence of any, and there is only a two year gap between these two children. Juna Malherbe (in Jannetje de Clerc, Huguenot Society of South Africa Bulletin 35, 1998), writes that their was also a child named Gideon Bekker born 1698. She questions the date, which from the evidence of the Joernaal-boek der Caapse Weesen 1698 would appear to be impossible, but she accepts the existence of the child itself, but she presents no evidence. I have found none. for a note on her parentage see below#

# The parents of Jannetje de Clercq There seems little doubt that she was the daughter named in the will of Sara Couchet dated 4 January 1711. Her birthplace, so far as I have found is only given as Zeeland, but this fits well with the daughter of Sara Couchet. The only one of her children by Andre Gauch for which a baptismal entry survives, Johanna Gous, names Guillaume du Toijt et Susanne Seugnet, as the witnesses. Guillaume du Toit was the second husband of Sara Couchet.
