Hans Ras 1
farmer (1662) 2
born circa 1636, Angel 3
died between March 1671 and April 1672 4
Notes:
He was said to have been killed by a lion (private diary of
Baron van Reede). If so Margaret Cairns postulates that
the accident may have occurred around January 1671 and
that he died, perhaps from the injuries, at some date between
the 3rd March 1671 (when he signed a transfer deed) and
April 1672 when Trijn Ras remarried.

(Margaret Cairns, Tryn Ras - In: Familia, vol 15 & 16, 1978-79)
married 3 September 1662 at at the Cape 5

( they were married after the morning service that Sunday,
by the Secretary of the Council of Justice, no predikant
being available (the late predikant, Junius, was, in fact,
buried that same afternoon))

Hans Ras 14 1671-circa 1705
born 1671, at the Cape 15
baptized 21 June 1671, Cape Town 16
died circa 1705 17

Notes: He drew up his will on 8th July 1705, lying on his
sick bed and in the house of Marten van Staden, leaving all
his possessions to his mother, Trijntje Claas, with legacies
to his brother, Claas Ras, his sister Marijna Ras, his two half
sisters Lourentia and Lijsbet Michielsz:, and to the children
of his brother Claas, Johannes and Catarina Ras. These
were all left sums of money. An additional bequest was that
of two cattle to Susanna van Vooren.

Oddly enought, the internal evidence in this will, the age
given for Hans and just two children mentioned for Claas,
suggest a date of circa 1701, rather than that of 1705.
Perhaps part was copied from an earlier will.

He was not mentioned as one of his mother's heirs in the
inventory drawn up on 18th August 1708.
