• Notes

  In addition to their main farm where they lived, two other loan farms,d'Matkamme and d'Oorlogsfontijn, all in the same area, accoding to the inventory drawn up after his death. In the church register, the minister recorded that during the wedding ceremony the bride held in her arms a child who had been baptised that same day and named Katharina, in order to legitimise her, and that, between the couple stood another child whose name was not known to him. For a discussion of his parentage and place in the family tree, see my notes on his mother, Trijntje Harmens, and for ageneral discussion of the early Van Wijks see my introduction. There is a baptism in the early (and possibly defective) registers of Drakenstein which might apply to him: 31 Julij 1703 Guillaume, d'Vader Willem van (sic), d'Moeder Trijn arme but this date seems to be too late for him to be the son of Willem van Wijk, unless the baptism came rather longer after the birth than seems to have been usual at that time, or that in copying the baptism was mistakenly put under 1703 rather than 1702 where it would make sense.
