Willem Schalks van der Merwe died 1716 Elsje Jacobs Cloeten died circa 1702 Barend Burger died 1705 Marritie Willemsdr Schalk 1675-circa 1709

Barent Burger 1 farmer 2 of Rodesant 3 born 1692, at the Cape 4 baptized 7 September 1692, Cape Town 5 died before 29 May 1729, (date of inventory) 6 Notes: I have assumed that he is the same Barend Burger who was baptised at Cape Town in 1692. See my notes on the Burger siblings. In 1724 He was given permission to use 'the farm Twee Jonge Gezellen for a period of one year'. This permission was renewd annualy until 1728 and he and his family apparently lived here until his death in 1729 and his wife seems to have continued on the farm until 1741 when it it is believed it was granted to Jacobus du Preez, or the latter may, indeed, have been running it in her name prior to this. After his death it was taken over by Jan Gysbert Olivier, who married du Preez's widow. (From: The Secluded Valley, by Anna Boeseken and Margaret Cairns, Perskor, Cape Town, 1989. Page 93 - information based on records of the Receiver of Land Revenue, RLR 6, 6.2.1724, no.19 and 10, 9.5.1741, page 294) The family has been reconstructed from the Inventory drawn up after his death in 1729 and the marriage and baptismal records of Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Drakenstein Congregations.
