Willem Janse van Rensburg 1741-1800 Hester Burger 1745-1806 Willem Burger Barendz: 1742-1791 Maria Susanna du Toit circa 1752-circa 1786 Nicolaas Jacobus Janse van Rensburg 1770-before 1813 Willemina Maria Burger 1777-1836

Johannes Petrus Janse van Rensburg 1 farmer of Leeuwenkuil, Koue Bokkeveld 2 born 25 October 1809 3 baptized 18 February 1810, Tulbagh 4 died after 9 July 1877 5 will dated 18 April 1876 6 Notes: He is listed as Pieter Johannes in the will of his mother, Willemina Maria Burger and Rasmus Pieter Erasmus and also on the death notice of W.M.Burger (in fact the latter list seems to me merely copied from the former). Perhaps he was known as Pieter or per- haps this is a notary's mistake. The farm Leeuwenkuil was a quitrent grant made in 1821 to Rasmus Pieter Erasmus Jansz. of over 2,600 morgen. In 1835 about one-third was transferred to Pieter Lodwyk du Toit, again in 1841 to Charl du Toit jr., and in 1851 to Charl Petrus Johannes du Toit. The remaining two-thirds were transerred on the same day in 1835 to Charl du Toit sr. and in 1849 to Nicolaas Johannes Janse van Rensburg and Jacobus Lodewyk Erasmus jointly. Erasmus promptly transferred his shared to Charl du Toit and the latter with equal celerity to N.J.J. van Rensburg who so became owner of the whole two-thirds. (quoted from: The Old Houses of the Cape, by H.Fransen and Dr. Mary Cook, 1965) This farm, Leeuwenkuil, according to Andre van Rensburg (web site), had been the family farm for some time before this having been men- tioned in the will of Willem van Rensburg (born 2 July 1741) and I think the transfers above must have been part of the distribution of the estate after the death of Willemina Burger, the wife of Rasmus Pieter Erasmus.
