Marten Jans van Staden 1
1675 to 1685 gardner at Werkhoven and Doorn, Utrecht
from 1687 farmer of Bloemendal, Drakenstein 2
born circa 1638, Haarlem 3
died 7 November 1716 4
 | | Notes: | In 1670, when he married at Utrecht, the marriage entry indicates
that he had previously lived at Loenen.
Between 1675 and 1680 he lived at Werkhoven, near Utrecht, and
from 1681 to 1685 at Doorn, a nearby village, where he worked as
gardener at the Huis te Doorn, at that time apparently belonging
to Caius Laurentius Barthram, son of the Count of Broeckdorf.
(http://home.planet.nl/~taco.hermans/doorn2.htm)
He and his wife, Caterina Willemsz, are first found listed among the
free settleers at the Cape in the muster rolls of 1688. There is no
muster roll for 1687, but since he was granted the farm, Bloemendal,
in the Drakenstein district in 1687 (J.G. le Roux et al. Bewaarders
van Ons Erfenis, deel 3) that seems their likely year of arrival.
On the 31st January 1688 he was granted permission by the Burger
Raad (Burger Council) of the Cape to transfer from the Cape area to
go to live at Drakenstein and the move was apparently made on the
10th December 1688, judging from the statement at the bottom of this
attestation: 'fiat naer Drakensteijn' with that date and the signature
of Simon van der Stel. (1 STB 15/2, Attestatien)
In 1697 he was elected one of the Heemraden (councillors) for the
district of Drakenstein. (Resolutions of the Council of Policy,
C. 23, pp. 5-10. from the TANAP web site)
His children are given as listed in the will, drawn up jointly with his
wife on 31st July, 1705, and in the church registers of Werkhoven
and Doorn.
I have some notes on the place of origin of the Van Staden Family
and the sources of that information. My thanks to Frank Witschge
of Almere in the Netherlands for bringing them to my attention. |

Notes: She appears twice as a baptismal witness in
the registers of the church at Cape Town, once on the
24th April 1701 and again on 10th May 1705. On both
occasions she is partnered with Pieter Grijs. In 1703
they appear as a couple on the muster rolls and thus
continue from year to year until, in 1713 Pieter Grijp
appears on his own.

born Middelburg 20
Notes: He was a cadet in the employ of the Dutch East
India Company, listed as such in the muster roll of 1696,
but by May 1699, he had become a freeman.
(Leibbrandt, Letters Dispatched, 1695-1708, p. 117)
His name appears in the muster rolls (transcripts of transcripts)
and Stellenbosch Notarial Papers (1711) as Pieter Grijp, but in
the church registers as Pieter Grijs.
