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.

Notes: From the Opgaaf (Tax) returns, where he
first appears in 1731 living in the Drakenstein District, he would
seem never to have married.
Between 1735 and 1757 he seems to have been farming in a very
small way, at first in the Cape District and then from 1741 in the
Stellenbosch District. 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

of Anna, daughter of Gerrit van Wyk and Maria Pruvo.
