Willem van Wijk
died 1702
Trijntjen Hillebrants
died circa 1695
Gerrit van Wijk Willemsz: 1
of De Vaderlandse Rietklooff, Piquetberg 2
died circa 1737 3
will dated 27 March 1731
and filed 8 January 1738 4
Notes:
He would seem to have been working as a farmhand (knegt) for
Willem Basson on the latter's property in Cape Town between
1711 and 1713. (1)(2)

On the 7th Novebmer 1712, named as Gerrit Willemsz van Wijk, he
requested and was granted permission to move from living in the
Drakenstein District, to that of the Cape. (3)

Details of his family come from the Inventory taken in 1730 after
the death of his first wife, Elizabeth Vivier, the joint will he made
with his second wife, Maria Provo (1731) and the will she made
before her marriage to Gerrit van Schalkwyk (1740).

The farm, Vaderlandse Rietkloof, was sold in 1730 at the settling
up of the estate of Elisabeth Vivier. I don't know if Gerrit bought
it in himself or not.

For a discussion of his parentage and place in the family tree,
see my notes on the several Gerrit van Wijks, and for a general
discussion of the early Van Wijks see my introduction.
