Johannes van den Bosch 1 died circa October 1693 2 Notes: He was a widower when he married Cornelia Helmes. The inventory of his deceased estate lists a house and garden situated in the Tafelvalleij (today Cape Town) which had been bought in the last two years or so (the last payment was still owing) from Willem van Wijk, valued at 1500 gulden, as well as 300 sheep, three beasts of pulling, half of a wagon, the other half owned by Jan Marschalck, 3 horses (2 ruijns and 1 mare). Also a good collection of household furnishings, the total valued at 3000 guldens, not rich, but not badly off, and not too many debts.

children of Johannes van den Bosch and Cornelia Helmes Catharina van den Bosch died before 1720 born at the Cape died before 1720  married 23 March 1704 Stellenbosch Albert Gerritsz van Emmenes 5 born circa 1679 Johanna van den Bosch  married (1) 24 October 1705 Stellenbosch Johannes Bocklenbergh 6 died circa 1709 surgeon (1699)  married (2) after 1709 (assumed) Jurgen Hanekom 7 farmer (1720) Johannes van den Bosch 8 died circa 1713 died circa 1713, (assumed) Notes: Mentioned in 1713 in the will of Corneila Helmes and Arij van Wijk as being still living at that date, he first appears in the muster rolls of 1708 and is mentioned in the Opgaafrollen of 1709 and 1712 as a single man but the last mention of him in opgaafrollen and the muster rolls is in 1712. I would assume that he either died during 1713 (as did so many other people at the Cape as a result of the smallpox epidemic of that year) or that he left the country at that time. But, there is a Johannes van den Bosch as orphan on the books of the Weesmeesterern (MOOC 18/2) in January 1718.
