• Notes

  Arrived about 1676/78 from Engen, Netherlands. Johan van Deventer's text read, '. . . there are serious errors in the Van Wijck/Wijk/Wyk family tree. Roelof (not even mentioned in dV/P) is a1 and the father of Adrian (Arie) referred to as a2 in dV/P. It is more likely that Roelof and Willem were brothers with the same father but different mothers. Roelof (*abt 1643 in Holland), his wife Trijntje Jans (*abt 1637) and their son Arie van Wijck (~18/1/1655 in Amsterdam) came to SA about 1677. At the same time Willem van Wijck (*bef 1655) also arrived in SA.' Volgens Pama II van Engen in Nederland afkomstig. Kom omstreeks 1676/78? in die Kaap aan. Vanuit De Villers en Pama Vol II Van WYK Willem van Wyk. v. Engen, in Nederland. Aank. omstr. 1676/8, x 5.8.1685 Catharina Hillebrandt.1148 From: A & M van Rensburg To: Subject: [GenForum] Elizabeth VAN WYK Date: 14 November 2001 04:24 Goeie More Richard en Jean,Baie dankie vir die inligting. Ek soek baie keer om my bron te kry en dan kan ek sommer myself skop. Jean jy het melding gemaak dat "Elisabeth van Wyk(1683-1720) was 'n dogter van Willem van Wyk en Anna Pieterse" Margaret Cairns meld op bladsy 57 dat die twee broers Willem en Arie VANWYK het in 1678 na die Kaap gekom,................................. Groete André van Rensburg http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/kfp/I225.htmlHe first appears at the Cape as a Company servant, working in the Company's Garden in 1672. By 1678 he was a free burger, working in partnership with Gerrit Teunisz and later with Hans Erntrout. (see my timeline for Willem van Wijk). Two children by his first wife are recorded in the baptismal registers of the Cape Town congregation; Arie and Jannetie. The inventory taken after the death of his first wife, dated the 10th March 1695, notes that she left two minor children. Theseare named in the Weeskamer record dated 2 September 1712 as Arij and Gerrit van Wijk, so presumably Jannetie had died before 1695. The children born of his second marriage are also listed in the 1712 Weeskamer note mentioned above, as Maria, Anna and Willem van Wijk. For his wives and children see my notes on Trijntje Harmensz, his second wife, and for a general discussion of the early Van Wijks see my notes. Willem van Wijk of Sandwijk, in Drakensteijn died 1702, (bet 23 January and 31st March) Notes:He first appears at the Cape as a Company servant, working in the Company's Garden in 1672.
