Andries Monk Alida Gerritsz

Hendrina Monk 1 of De Klijne Fontijn, beyond the Oliphantsrivier born 1729 2 baptized 30 October 1729, Stellenbosch 3 died 11 July 1767 4 Notes: Although Hendrina did not have Anna Monk or her husband as witnesses at the baptism of any of her children, Hendrina was a witness at the baptism of the first of Anna Monk's children who was named Gesina Hendrina and her husband, Willem Willemsz van Wijk was a witness at the baptism of the fourth child who was name Willem Willemsz Beneke. I think, therefore, that it is reasonable to assume that that Anna and Hendrina Monk were the children of the same names baptised by Andries Monk and Alida Gerritsz at Stellenbosch. Although she had four children with Hans Hendrik Maritz, the first two baptised in Drakenstein and the last two presumably in Cape Town, only Johannes Stephanus seems to have still been living when she died in 1767.

Two journeys are recorded. One on the ship named 'Schagen', leaving 25 June 1771 and arriving Batavia 16 May 1772 and the second on the 'IJsselmonde', leaving 10 June 1773 and arriving Batavia 4 Jan 1774. His death in Asia on the 22nd October 1774 is recorded in the log of the second voyage.
