Trijntje Harmensz: 1 Notes: On 31st March 1702 she stated before the Weesmeesters that, due to the manifold sicknesses that had beset her late husband the land was in a poor state as well as in debt; she asked to be allowed time, in which she would do her best to find the money to pay the paternal inheritance belonging to the two children from her late husband's first marriage to Trijntje Hillebrands. A note of 1712 from the same document gives the names of her three children by Willem van Wijk. The reference to this document was provided from his research by Mansell Upham, to whom I am most grateful for this vital information. (Cape Archives, MOOC 5/1, Weesmeesteren: Extracten 1699 enz., p.7) Of her children by Jurgen Kervel, two appear in the baptismal registers but Hilletje and Catharina Kervel are included on the evidence of various baptisms with their witness, which I have mentioned in their notes. (See also my notes)

From 1761 onwards he owned nothing but his horse and his guns. His estate accounts list very little other than small debts. His heirs were listed as: Isaak Nieuwwout as heir of the widow Corenelis Pieters: Stapper and Hendrik Andries Truter married to Susanna Catharina Victor and Johannes Victor as heirs of the late Wijnand Victor Elsje Kervel born 1712 born 1712 21 baptized 2 July 1712, Drakenstein 22 Hilletje Kervel died 1760 died 12 August 1760, Swartland  married 7 January 1731 Cape Town Theunis van Aard 23 Catharina Kervel died 1760 died 7 March 1760, Cape district 24 Notes: She is included as a child of the above couple on the following grounds: In 1730 she and her husband were the witnesses at the baptism of Isaac son of Isaac Niewout and Anna van Wijck, and in 1731 this latter couple were the witnesses at the baptism of Anna Catharina Victor.
