• Notes

  Burger Drakenstein Du Plooy.paf: Johannes was the eldest child born to Claas and Aletta Jansz van Rensburg. He was baptised in the Stellenbosch church on 7 July 1709. The witnesses at this rite of passage was not one of the van der Merwe family members, rather they were Gerrit and Johanna (nee Rynick) Basson . Refer to the article on Claas Jansz for speculation on their connection. Johannes was not the eldest child in the household, since Alleta had two surviving children from her first marr iage to Marthinus van Staden, namely Marthinus and Maria van Staden. . ...and this Branch was seasoned with Indian Spice....... . . . Johannes was twenty one years old when his mother passed away on 30 September 1729. With the death of both his parents, the Weeskamer made him the custodian of his brothers Willem and Claas. His half brother Marthinus van Staden was married to Catharina Botha. She had a younger sister Anna Margaretha Botha who became the wife of Johannes on 27 August 1730, the ceremony was conducted at the church at Cape Town. These Botha girls grandfather Christoffel Snyman was the son of the freed slave Antonij van Bengale => Christoffel Snyman => Elsie Snyman = > Anna Margaretha Botha. They had five sons and the book Rietvleiers gives an account of each of these sons: Nicolaas, Jacobus, Johannes Frederik. Hendrik Christoffel, Marthinus Philipp us. Farms Twee Kuylen & Valsche Rivier & Middeldrift Johannes obtained on 21 October 1732 the loan farm Twee Kuylen (this is in the Eastern Cape near Valsrivier, today it is just north of the town Albertinia) which use to belong to his half brother Marthinus van Staden. This farm would eventually go to his son Marthinus Philippus . Johannes also obtained the loan farm Valsche Rivier, this farm he made to his son Nicolaas in 1765. Johannes also obtained the loan farm Middeldrift in 1756, this farm also known as Hartebeestekraal was left in Johannes' will to his son Johannes Frederik. His wife Anna Margaretha Botha passed away on 1 October 1765 according to the church records. Johannes died in the mid seventeen seventies. Farmer at "Tweekuil", "Valsrivier" and "Middeldrift", district Albertinia [18, 21] (Research):SAG 9 bl 264
