Fijtje Raderotjes

Willem Schalks van der Merwe
died 1716
Elsje Jacobs Cloeten
died circa 1702
Sophia Schalk van der Merwe 1
born 1670, at the Cape 2
baptized 2 November 1670, Cape Town 3
died after January 1736 4
Notes:
There are several deeds in the Stellenbosch Notarial archives
testifying to her determination to collect money owed to her in
the face of the smallpox epidemic of 1713 which had robbed her
of her husband and two of her daughters. She wasn't going to
allow her money to go the same way!

On the 28th December 1713, Jan Sandertsz van Westerhout and
Maria Buisset testified that they remembered that, on 7th June of
that year, when Pieter and Jan Vijoen lay sick on an ox cart in front
of her door, she taxed Peter with a debt of 203 guldens asking, 'Did
you get the reminder I sent to your parents, one does not know in
the present time if it will be life or death'. He replied 'there is no
need to worry, I have acknowledged the debt with a cross in your
book'.

On 30th October 1713 Jan Jurgen Roose, at her behest, declared
that on the 21st June of that year he had been sent by the farmer
Claas Elbertsz to the widow of Willem Elbertsz, at that time lying
sick in the house of her father, Francois du Toit, to urge her to pay
to the aforementioned Claas Elbertsz the debt of 300 guldens, but
that when he had arrived at the house he found the said widow in
extremity and was unable to serve the notice as he was received
by her father, to whom he said 'I am come to your daughter about
money matters' and that F. du Toit answered him 'This is no time
for money matters, but rather for thinking of the soul and salvation'.

Pieter Robbertsz
Landdrost and farmer 20
of Stellenbosch 21
born Neustad, near Lubeck 22
died 1713, (before 16th October of that year) 23
buried 1713, Stellenbosch 24
will dated 2 May 1709
Notes:
When he married in 1696 the marriage entry records him
as a sergent in the service of the Dutch East India Company.

In his will he mentions his sister, Trijntie Robbertsz: , living at
Gruems about one mile from Nieuwstad, near Lubeck.

There seem to have been no children born in his marriage to
Sophia van der Merwe. In the opgaaf returns for 1705, 1709
and 1712 only four daughters (no sons) are listed for them,
the four daughters being, of course, the children of her first
marriage. For more arguments see my article published in
Familia, no 3, 2006, page 75. C.C. de Villiers, in his Geslacht
Register of the 1890s, allocated them a son, Jan Robberts.
The article also suggests who his parents might in fact have
been.
