Benjamin Wiese Anna Jansen van der Linde

Benjamin Wiese 1 assistant in service of the Dutch East India Company 2 born 1689, Amsterdam 3 baptized 1689, Amsterdam, Lutherse Kerken 4 Notes: When he made his will on the 6th of May 1713, he was lying sick in bed, presumably with the smallpox then beginning to ravage the Cape. He left money to the poor of the Lutheran congregation in Amsterdam and to those of the Gereformeerde congregation at the Cape. His heir was to be his father but if he died first, Catharina Greef Matthijsdogter, or if she died first, Fredrik Delits. In the muster rolls of 1714 they are living in the Cape district. In August 1716 he was one of the four suppliers of Cape wine for one year. This was by tender and he paid 7300 guldens for this business opportunity. (Resolutions of the Council of Policy of Cape of Good Hope, Maandagh adie ulto. Augustus 1716, C. 39, pp. 18-21. TANAP) In March 1718 he requested permission to return to the Netherlands in one of the present ships of the return fleet now lying in the bay, since he could not find work to support himself and, his father having died recently in the Netherlands, he wished to look after his estate. Permission was granted. (Resolutions of the Council of Policy of Cape of Good Hope, Dingsdagh den 8e Maart 1718, C. 45, pp. 55-61. TANAP). He presumably went, since in the muster rolls taken at the end of April 1718 Hester Mostert, wife of Benjamin Wiese is listed on her own living in the Cape District. Pieter Wiese and Johannes Benjamin Wiese are listed as wards of the Weeskamer in January 1727, Pieter with f.309 and Joahnes with f.311 (MOOC 18/4, page 19)
