Notes:
Ten children are named in the Estate Inventory drawn up after the
death of Jan Grobbelaar, 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.
