Jan Grobbelaar 1
farmer (1735) 2
of Landskroon, Drakenstein 3
died circa 1735, (Inventory dated 30 Septbember 1735) 4
Notes:
Ten children are named in the Estate Inventory drawn up after his
death, dated 30th September 1735, and it was subsequently noted
that there was an additional child with which the widow was
pregnant (nog een kind waarvan de Weed' swanger is).

Their farm would seem to have been small, 30 cattle, 300 sheep
and 11 horses, and they also made wine, of which they had a
store of 16 leggers. There was little in the way of furniture and
household goods and they were fairly heavily in debt.
married circa 1715 at most probably Drakenstein 5
