Hendrik Meintjes van Den Berg
died 17 October 1762, at the Cape 1
 | | Notes: | The contemporary records (church registers) name him variously
as Hendrik, Jan Hendrik or Hendrik Janse, and the variations on
his surname are legion. Although they do also appear with just the
name Van den Berg, his children and grandchildren generally seem
to have used Meintjes van den Berg as their surname. I have,
therefore, used this name for the family.
In 1719 he lived by the Salt River, behind the fort, and transported
stones. (source: TANAP, C. 51, pp. 53-65. 21 Nov 1719: 'Hendrik Mantje
is in wesen, woond aan de Zoute Rivier agter 't fort en rijd klippen').
It seems that the will of his daughter, Anna Elisabeth (CJ 2661, 82,
dated 1755) gives her father's name as Heinrich Meintjes van den
Berg in Munsterland. In old age he was looked after by carers paid
by the Church at Cape Town and in 1753 his son-in-law, Johann
Hasse took him into his care. (source: Personalia of the Germans
at the Cape, by Dr.J.Hoge, Cape Town, Government Printer,
no date (but circa 1947), page 264)
The genealogy of this family was compiled by Johann Meintjes, and a
revised edition, edited by Keith Meintjes, is available in downloadable
form in the eGGSA Download Library. |
