Alewijn Smit Jacobuszoon 1734-1787 Engela Helena van Niekerk circa 1738-circa 1820 Jacobus Gideon Louw circa 1730-circa 1814 Hester Wiese 1741-before 1781 Jacobus Hendrik Smit 1760-1834 Margaretha Wilhelmina Louw 1766-1843

Jacobus Hendrik Smit 1 born 1 March 1785 2 baptized 3 April 1785, Swartland 3 died 27 April 1829 4 Notes: His son Jacobus Hendrik, aged 9, is mentioned as the sole surviving child of the late Helena Antonia Louw and her husband Jacobus Hendrik Smit, in the Estate accounts of her parents in 1818. The other children come from the death notice of his mother, 1843. The name of their mother is not stated there. The two children, Jacobus and Maria are stated to be of age, the others minors, in the Distribution accounts of the Estate Margaretha Wilhelmina Louw, Weduwee van wylen Jacobus Hendrik Smit (Alewyn’s zoon), 1844. I have followed the order of the children as given in the Distribution accounts (1844) above, whereas the death notice of Maria Elisabeth Louw (1861) has a different order. The dates of his marriages given do not always tally between the church registers (transcripts provided to me) and 'Dit Boekje hoort Jacobus Hendrik Smit'. In each case I have chosen the date that fell on a Sunday since this was the usual (but not invariable) day for weddings.
