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. Now for the big mistake: Page 1154 dV/P about in the middle there is c8 Arie Willem ~2/11/1738 up to d5 Margaretha Johanna ~15/3/1795 just before b8 on p.1155; should be moved to p.1149 under b1c2 Gerrit ~30/9/1714, 3rd line from top. Then; c8 Arie Willem should change to be a2b1c2d1; this is thus the Willem a2 line . . .' What is entered here in this branch of the family reflects these suggested corrections.

Groete André van Rensburg Kom vanaf Amsterdam in ongeveer 1677 saam met sy ouers in die Kaap aan. Voornaam ook as 'Arij/Ary/ Arije/Arye'. Burger van Stellenbosch. Met die opstel van sy testament te Stellenbosch in 1713 word sy ouderdom as 45 jaar aangegee. Sy naam verskyn as 'Arij van Wijk' in testament. Arie was the progenitor (stamvader) of the Van Wyk family in South Africa. He was from Amsterdam and arrived in the Cape during 1676/78. Presumably he had come to the Cape with his parents, Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans, who had been living at the Cape since at least 1686. The earliest mention of Arij at the Cape is from 1693 to 1695 when he and his wife, Cornelia, were found living in the Cape Town area on a farm which carried 4,000 vines. By 1696 they had moved to Stellenbosch where they lived for the rest of his life. By 1700 they had 10,000 vines. He farmed at Stellenbosch on the farm "Kijkenvallei". Arij van Wijk was one of the two stamvaders of the Van Wijk family who arrived at the Cape in the 17th Century. The other was Willem van Wijk. It seems likely that they were related to one another but how is not yet apparent. The earliest mention of Arij at the Cape is from 1693 to 1695 when he and his wife, Cornelia Helmes, are found living in the Cape Town area on a farm which carried 4000 vines. By 1696 they had moved to Stellenbosch where they lived for the rest of his life. By 1700 they had 10,000 vines. His Origins and Parentage In his will dated 29th April 1713, he stated that he was 45 years old and that he had been born in Amsterdam. According to the indexes in the Amsterdam Archives, there were two Adrian van Wijks baptised at this period, but the following would seem to be his baptism: Adrian, baptised Nieuwe Kerk 18 January 1668 parents: Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk and Trijntje Jans witnesses: Hendrik Coenraetsz van der Meijde and Aaltje Adriaens van Wijk since Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans had been living at the Cape since at least 1686. Presumably he had come to the Cape with his parents. In his will, dated 1713, he is described as having been born in Amsterdam and being 45 years old. In the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is recorded the baptism of 'Adrian, son of Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk and Trijntje Jans, 18th January 1668. (Amsteram information kindly supplied by Bob Kernkamp). Since Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans also lived at the Cape, I think we can safely assume that this baptism is his. Also in his will he is desribed as 'sick, confined to bed'. One can speculate that in this year of Smallpox plague that this is what he was suffering from - certainly he died in the same year. His Marriage He Married Cornelia Helmes, the widow of Jan van den Bosch. The date is not known but, on 22nd October 1693 a note in the Orphan Chamber records states that she was then intending to remarry, so this is probably the approximate date. She had three children from her first marriage: Catharina, Johannes and Johanna van den Bosch. According to her will, dated 29th April 1713, she was then 37 years old and had been born at the Cape. Their Children b1. Roelof van Wijk, baptized 5 September 1694, Cape Town, married Aletta Bezuijdenhout. He died circa July 1746, leaving 8 children. b2. Aletta van Wijk baptized 15 July 1696, Cape Town, married Johann Kraaij b3. Willem van Wijk, baptized 19 January 1698, Stellenbosch When he died around 1771 he left no wife or children and his estate was distributed among his brothers and sisters. b4. Sara van Wijk, baptized 29 November 1699, Stellenbosch, married Isaak d'Algue, later known as Johannes Dreyer. b5. Adrianus van Wijk, baptized 25 December 1701, Stellenbosch He presumably died before 1705 when his younger brother, also named Adriaan, must have been born according to his age (8) and position as given in his parent's will of 1713. b6. Maria van Wijk born circa 1704, married firstly Jan Joubert and secondly Wolraad Striegel b7. Adriaan van Wijk, born circa 1705, married Sara Fourie, and left 11 children. b8. Gerrit van Wijk, baptized 14 December 1707, Stellenbosch, most probably buried before 12 August 1708, Stellenbosch He was not mentioned in his parent's will of 1713, so had presumably died before that date. b9. Catarina van Wijk, baptized 20 July 1710, Stellenbosch, married Hendrik Lubbe b10. Hester van Wijk, baptized 3 October 1712, Stellenbosch, married Pieter van Zijl Death of Arij van Wijk In his will, dated 13th April 1713, he is desribed as 'sick, confined to bed'. One can speculate that in this year of Smallpox epidemic that this is what he was suffering from - certainly he died in the same year and was buried at Stellenbosch. After his death, Cornelia Helmes married for the third time to Jacob Coetser, by whom she had two more children. She died between 23rd May and 21st June 1720.

| 19 | "The National Scouts soon lost their identity as a distinct social, ecclesiastical, and political element. It had been expected that the rift between Bitter-enders and others would become permanent among the Dutch, but within a few years the nation had closed its ranks. The case of Commandant Jozua Joubert had left a deep impression on the public mind. Originally a High Veld sheep farmer, he could point to a long and honourable military career. Wounded in the first War of Independence, he had served against Mapoch, Jameson, and Magato. During the Boer war he commanded his burghers at Dundee and Colenso. Here he was once more wounded, but toward the end of May 1900 he was able to resume his command. A year later, his arm was shot off by another Boer, near Amersfoort. His horse had suffered so severely that he did his best to proceed on foot. His A.D.C helped him to reach a field hospital, where he was taken prisoner after the lapse of a month. His arm was then amputated. After peace he returned to his district, where he visited the man who, in the enemy's service, had fired on him and his people. The disabled commandant indicated that he wanted to become reconciled to his late opponents, in order to live together as neighbours should." SOURCE: General Louis Botha.

| 20 | "The settlement formed at the Cape of Good Hope was of considerable importance. It was led by a nephew of Admiral Duquesne, and included members of some of the most distinguished families of Franee ? Du Plessis de Mornay, Roubaix de la Fontaine, De Chavannes, De Villiers, Du Pre?, Le Roux, Rousseau, D?Abling, De Cilliers, Le Sueur, Maude?, and many more. The names of some of these are to be found among the roll of governors of the colony under the Dutch. The refugees mostly settled in the Berg Valley, afterwards known as French Valley, and now as De Fransche Hoek. Weiss says their descendants number as many as 4000 persons; and that they are still Huguenots in religion, and proud of their descent. The old families treasure their original French Bibles, and Clement Marot?s hymn books, brought from France by their ancestors. A simple-minded farmer of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, now represents the ancient ducal house of Du Plessis. It is said that when Napoleon I., in the early part of his reign, wished to rally round his throne all the old French families he could induce to acknowledge his pretensions, he offered to the Du Piessis at the Cape the restoral of his family title and estates; but the offer was declined. The Cape boer, in whose mind all recollection of his family traditions had died away, preferred his quiet vineyard on the Berg River to the brilliant saloons of the Tuileries" - Samuel Smiles | DU PLESSIS, Jean Prieur (DU PLES) a1 (I348)

| 44 | (1) Volgens oorlewering - Elsie Aletta Cecilia DU PLESSIS (Kleindogter): Willem Schalk DU PLESSIS is op 17 December 1871 in Zeerust gebore. Hy het op die Plaas Vaalkop gebly en is heel moontlik ook daar gebore. Sy susters het ook in Zeerust gewoon. Willie DU PLESSIS, ?n kleinseun, het die susters jare daarna gaan opsoek waar hulle toe by 'n ouetehuis woonagtig was. Hulle is blykbaar ook in die ouetehuis oorlede. Willem Schalk is met Barbara MEINTJES getroud en hulle het voor 1920 Rhodesie toe getrek en heel moontlik in die Saulsbury omgewing geboer. Barbare MEINTJES is in 1920 in Rhodesie aan koors of malaria oorlede. Haar oudste seun Johannes DU PLESSIS, ?n vername grootwildjagter was klaarblyklik die enigste persoon wat die ligging van haar graf geken het. Willem Schalk DU PLESSIS se seun, Cornelius Johannes DU PLESSIS, het per geleentheid ?n spanningsvolle vertelling gegee van sy noue ontkoming in Rhodesie as ?n jong seuntjie in hierdie tyd, met ?n plaaslike Sangoma/Toordokter wat hom agtervolg het op ?n dag waarop hy alleen by die plaas was. Hy het weggehardloop met die sangoma op sy hakke, en dit was blykbaar net genade wat hom gered het toe sy ouers opgedaag net voor die sangoma hom kon inhaal en heel moontlik sou vermoor vir muti. Sy beskrywing van hoe net die sangoma se vere bo die lang grasse uitgesteek het elke keer wanneer hy in die lug gespring het om te sien waar die seuntjie mag wees sal altyd by bly. Willem Schalk het met vyf van sy kinders na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer. Die ander kinders Alie, Johannes, Willem, Barbara COMSEY en Magdalena (Lenie) BOOYSEN het in Rhodesie agter gebly. 1) Willem Schalk en 2)Albertus (Berry) het op Volksrust gaan boer, terwyl 3) Cornelius en 4) Rachel (Kleina) VILJOEN op Warmbad gaan vestig het. 5) Wilhelmina (Mien) het naby Sandspruit stasie gewoon. Maria (Meraai) NORTJE het op Besters in KwaZulu-Natal gaan woon. Willem Schalk snr. het hierna die plaas Dassieklip gekoop en daar gewoon en geboer. Hy is later met Cecilia LABUSCHAGNE gertroud. Piet (Eep) LABUSCHAGNE was ?n vriend wat langsaan Dassieklip gewoon het. Alie en John DE HAAST (in Rhodesie begrawe) is Buluwayo toe en het daar gewoon tot die regering van Ian SMITH in 1979 tot ?n val gekom het. Hulle het toe na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer en in Boksburg aan die Oos-Rand gebly. Alie is ook hier begrawe. Douglas De HAAST, Dirk KLEINSMIT en ene SCHROEDER, het ook gewoon (en Schroeder se kinders woon blykbaar steeds daar) waar oupa Jan Daniel LEONARD op Dassieklip gewoon het. Gerhardus Griessel (?n Oupa) het ook op 'n deel van Dassieklip gewoon, asook Oupa Jan Daniel se suster se aangetroude familie COETZER. Daar is klaarblyklik 'n koppie/berg met 'n fort, op die deel wat deur die KLEINSMITS bewoon is, en jy kon die fort vanaf Oupa Jan Daniel se plaas sien. | DU PLESSIS, Willem Schalk b1c6d4e6f1g1 (I391)

| 49 | * Pieter refers to Pierre Jaubert. It has always been accepted that Pieter Joubert and his son Jan were in 1714 granted two of the prime areas in the valley, namely Plaisante on the Breede River and Montpellier on the Klein Berg River. However recent research has proved that while the father did indeed receive Plaisante, Jan Joubert never owned Montpellier. Variations in the form and spelling of surnames in the early days at the Cape have caused more than one problem. The many renderings of Joubert and Imbert which appeared as Juber, Jubert, Jugbert and Inber, Niber, Nibeer, Nibier, Nieber, Juber and Jubeer respectively have added very considerably to research difficulties in general, and in particular with regard to the original owner of Montpellier. The grant of Montpellier discloses that the property had already been on loan for some years and that 60 morgen of land had now been granted in freehold to "Jean Jugbert". 27 Not without reason this was construed as "Jean Joubert". However this assumption has now been dispelled as a result of more extensive research. The transfer deed that was responsible for this revelation was registered in 1733 and was the first transfer after the grant. 28 By this Susanna Garde, widow of Josua Joubert was registered as the owner of "a farm and estate lying in the district of Drakenstein in the Land of Waveren named Montpellier". The transferor was her mother-in-law "Elisabeth Richard widow of the late Pieter Joubert" and by this document Elisabeth made to her daughter-inlaw a donatio inter vivas or free gift of this property. Elisabeth had acquired her title under the will of her husband. This transfer deed makes it quite clear that Pieter in turn had acquired his title under the will of Jean Imbert who had held it from the "freehold grant and attached diagram of 30.8.1714," in other words the grant and diagram of Montpellier to "Jean Jugbert" of that date. 29 There had been no intermediate registration in favour of either Pieter Joubert or his widow Elisabeth Richard, a situation that 47 occurred quite frequently during the 18th century. 30 Despite the obvious name confusion in the grant the authorities of the day were perfectly satisfied that the"Jean Jugbert" mentioned in the document was indeed Jean Imbert. The extremely enlightening Joubert Papers in the Cape Archives, 31 covering the period 1693-1739, contain several hundreds of documents, which tell us much about the life-style of the Jouberts and those with whom they had dealings. These documents confirm the truth of the above and in addition provide very valuable information on the early days of both Montpellier and Le Rhone. The most important item in this Joubert collection is a document dated 25.6.1716 terminating the partnership made "some years ago" between Jacques Theron and Jean Imbert. No trace has been found of the original contract which was subsequent to that between Imbert and Terblanche. Imbert and Theron had arrived at the Cape together as soldiers in 1688 and both settled down to farm in the Paarl area, Theron on a hired farm 32 and Imbert on Languedoc on the Palmiet River which was granted in 1694 33 and which was named after the region of his birth. This property was sold to Esias Costeux in 1702 34 and shortly afterwards he proceeded to the "Land van Waveren". In 1711 Theron purchased Languedoc from the Costeux estate 35 and it remained in the family till the death of Theron's widow in 1764. Imbert's early involvement with Terblanche in the valley has already been discussed. At some date in 1713 Theron too had left for Waveren, retiring from the office of heemraad for Drakenstein. In 1714, described as retired from this office, he was appointed as supervisor of the roads in that area. This post had formerly been held by Imbert. 36 The departure of Terblanche in 1713 had precipitated Imbert into seeking a new partner, probably on account of his failing eyesight and the choice fell on Theron. That the two men intended to make permanent homes in the area is borne out by the adjoining grants made to them in August 1714 on the Kleine Berg River, which they named Le Rhone and Montpellier. 37 This was followed in December of the same year by loan farms registered in the name of both men. 38 Boucher considers that both Theron and Imbert came from Nimes in the Languedoc, watered by the Rhone and with Montpellier about 30 miles distant. Hence probably the names of their farms. These transactions were obviously legalising de facto situations of some years standing, particularly in the case of Imbert. When the earlier Terblanche partnership is considered, that with Theron, probably dated from 1713. Its termination in June 1716 reveals an extraordinary state of affairs, namely that at that date no dwelling yet stood on Montpellier, the farm granted to Imbert two years previously. No vines had been planted, nor was there a kraal for the livestock. 39 48 From this it seems that the land which was first settled by Imbert was that which became Le Rhone. No reason for the termination of the partnership has come to light, but by its conditions Imbert was obliged to move to Montpellier which was quite undeveloped. Compensation for his years of work which had established the Le Rhone vineyards and farm complex was the least that he could expect, and Theron was to supply this. The conditions laid down that Jacques had to duplicate the Le Rhone situation on Montpellier. A dwelling of identical size, height and type, 40 feet by 12 feet, with similar doors to that on Le Rhone was to be built on Imbert's farm. An equal-sized kraal was to be constructed and Theron was to plant "half as many vines as now stood on the partnership property" on his ex-partner's farm. 40 The conditions which dealt with the common movables were more equitable and with the divided stock and equipment each man now settled on his own property. In 1716 Imbert had to start work anew on Montpellier, a daunting task for a man with failing sight and no family. Presumably the conditions imposed on Theron were fulfilled: a new house and kraal were provided and vineyards were planted with a three to four year period intervening before a vintage could be expected. Two census returns during the period 1716-1723 in which year Imbert died, are available and in neither does his name appear, but the name Jan Joubert appears twice with different details. 41 It has now been established that an error resulted in Imbert' s name being transcribed as Jan Joubert. 42 Thus in 1719 no vines are listed on Montpellier, the only items being 40 cattle, 200 sheep and 3 weapons. Despite this it is quite clear that some time in 1716 Imbert did have vines on his farm, probably those newly planted by Theron. This is confirmed by an item in French, presented to him by an unknown French labourer which reads as follows: "Account of what I have done for Jan Imbert 1716 firstly 8 days pruning the vines, then 15 days digging in the vineyards, then 3 days picking up the pieces. 1717 8 days pruning and 9 days digging in the vineyard." 42a The fact that the vines were pruned in 1716 is disturbing for this process should not have been necessary for newly planted vines. However the work was obviously done and this must be accepted. The 1723 census repeats that of 1719, leaving Imbert with no vines. Once again demonstrating the unreliability of such records. Various isolated references in the Joubert papers indicate that Imbert received considerable assistance from that family, notably from Pieter senior to whom as a gesture of friendship Imbert bequeathed his entire estate, including Montpellier. 43 It is more than likely that one of the Joubert sons, Jan or Josua, helped Imbert during the last years, but there is no confirmatory evidence. He died in 1723 and from then until 1733 no information on the occupancy or activities on the farm has been located. By that date Pieter Joubert and his sons Pieter and Josua had died, and these events brought Montpellier back into the picture with the transfer of the property into the name of Josua's widow, Susanna Garde. 44 Allied to this vital transfer deed in the history of Montpellier is an extremely valuable document dated 30.3.1726 45 which laid down that Pieter "Jounbert" agreed to sell to his son, Josua: "a certain farm in the "Land van Waveren" named Montpellier, 1 man slave, 8 oxen, 5 empty vats, 2 iron pots, a tea-kettle and 2 buckets for 3 000 guilders with payment in three instalments". Josua signed "josias"; the father with barely recognisable initials. This contract had no conditions attached and by its provisions Josua should by 1733 already have been the owner of Montpellier. However no transfer to him had taken place and at his death he was living on Welvanpas in Wagenmakersvallei. 46 The Montpellier property now fell into Pieter's estate and thence to his widow Elisabeth Richard, who by her donatio inter vivas to her daughter-in-law, Susanna Garde, carried out the spirit of her husband's wishes with regard to the disposition of the property. Despite the fact that this was stated to be a free gift, yet the estate of Elisabeth Richard demanded, and received, the sum of 2 500 guilders from Susanna for Montpellier. 47 For almost fifty years Susanna lived on Montpellier where she died in 1771. 48 Her home was reasonably furnished by the standards of the day with a typical well-appointed kitchen. The brandy still, leaguers of wine and many empty vats and four balies show that this was essentially a wine farm. A mill with two stones was also discovered. 49 The several mills mentioned in "Land van Waveren" indicate that the people of the area were not overzealous in complying with official prohibitions on private milling. The labour force on Montpellier was a meagre two slaves and one woman. No assessment of Susanna's activities over the years was possible, for she is completely ignored by the census returns after 1741, where she appears with no vines. It is possible and even probable that the property was hired out to, or managed by another farmer, in which case his name and not Susanna's would be recorded in the census returns. So once again there is a gap in the history of this farm where she died. What happened to the property in those thirty missing years will probably never be known. In the year after her death Montpellier, less two small deductions of previous years, was sold to Willem Heydlee50 who has not been identified. He retained the property for six years and then sold it to Jan Theron, Pieter's son, in 177851 in whose name it remained until 1814. | JOUBERT, Josua (I338)
