eight oxen, used to the plough; four harijs; two vaarse of two years old; one plough, one wagon and one yoke; one horse with its accoutrements plus other farm utensils
These were to become his as soon as he married Anna Prevo, daughter of Scharl Prevo and Marij Lafreber.

He also owned a farm called De Sagte Valleij in the Land of Waveren, which, in 1740, was run by his son Gerrit van der Merwe.

The farm "de Hoop" in Klein Drakenstein was given to him in 1692 by governor Simon van der Stel. It was thus the second farm in the van der Merwe family (the first farm being "Kronendal" in Hout Bay). The Van der Merwe descendants lived on this farm for 130 years.
He was a renowned man, serving as member of the Heemraad of Stellenbosch as well as Drakenstein (Paarl).
A local burgher commando under leadership of himself and Jan Harmense Potgieter was formed to protect the local farmers from Hottentot attacks in the Land van Waveren. 23 volunteers joined this expedition.

Birth:
Alternative date: 14.7.1673

Scalck married Anna PREVOT, b3 in Jun 1696 in Cape Town, Cape, South Africa. Anna (daughter of Charles PREVOT, progenitor and Marie LE F) was born on 23 Jan 1681 in Marcq, Calais, Pas-De-Calais, France; was christened on 18 Feb 1681 in Marcq, Calais, Pas-De-Calais, France; died before 10 Oct 1740 in Cape Town, Cape, South Africa.

Notes:

Aankoms 1688 vanaf Amsterdam op die skip De Schelde, weeskind. Came out with Carel Prevot.

Anna arrived in the Cape with her parents in 1688 on the ship "De Schelde".
On a certain day 3 elephants began to rub against the walls of one of the buildings on their farm. Anna shot at them for fear of them pushing over her home.

(Feb 1680 volgens Sasa Malan)

Alternative date" 18.2.1681

Died:
Inventory of Estate dated 10 October 1740 at Wittenberg
When the inventory of her estate was drawn up in 1740 it was stated that her son Roelof van der Merwe ran the two farms Wittenberg and De Hoop, both in Drakenstein. As the inventory was drawn up and signed on Wittenberg, presumably she lived with him there.

Notes:

Married:
Pama Vol 2 gives the date of the marriage as June 1680. That would make Schalk 6 years old. Their first child was Christened in August 1697 so it is more likely that Schalk was married 1690 or 1696.
