• Notes

  He was a burger of Drakenstein, Cape. On 17 Nov., 1722 he was exempted from millitary service due to a physical defect ("Resolusies van die Politieke raad Deel VI 1720-1723") On the 13th March, 1731 an incident, in which Hans was involved, was discussed in the political council. Ten Bushmen (sons of Grebenau) stole cattle from the farmar Hans Jurgen Potgieter after which they were followed and found by 12 burgers. The bushmen started shooting arrows at the burgers ("Resolusies van diePolitieke raad Deel VI 1729-1734"). In the de la Fonteine report, comentary is given that could make a living from his cattle and farm, but not without debt (1732). It his also mentioned that Frederick Huppenaar (son of his sister) lived with him as servant. On 13 April, 1738, after his death, his wife Cornelia remarried Cornelis van Rooyen from Gorinchem, Netherlands. Hans was 'n soldaat in diens van die VOC. Op 17 November 1722 word Hans vrygestel van die weermag as gevolg van 'n ligaamlike gebrek. Hans en Cornelia het 9 kinders (3 seuns en 6 dogter) gehad. Aangesien die gemeenskap in die Drakenstein / Stelenbosch gebied maar klein was, was dit daardie tyd maar moeilik om 'n man of vrou te vind wat nie reeds familiebande gehad het nie. Hul oudste seun, Hermanus (~ 15 Julie 1721), trou met sy niggie, Elsie Botha. Martha (~ 13 September 1722) het met Hermanus Steyn (s.v. Jacobus Steyn en Maria Potgieter) getrou. Elsie (~ 3 Februarie 1726) trou met Philippus Snuman, Isabella (~ 14 September 1727) trou met Anthony Lombaard en later met Christiaan Godlieb Lessing, Catharina (~ 2 Desember 1731) trou eers met haar neef Petrus Botha. Haar tweeling suster, Maria (~ 2 Desember 1731) het met hul neef Johannes Lodewikus du Preez getrou. Na Maria se dood trou Johannes en Catharina. Niks is verder bekend oor Hans en Cornelia se 5de kind, Amerentia (~ 5 Februarie 1730). He was a burger of Drakenstein, Cape. On 17 Nov., 1722 he was exempted from miletary service due to a physical defect ("Resolusies van die Politieke raad Deel VI 1720-1723") On the 13th March, 1731 an incident, in which Hans was involved, was discussed in the political council.
