Jurgen Kervel 1
died before 1719 2
Notes:
On 15th July 1702, named as Jurger kerver, he received
permission from the Cape Burgerraad to leave the Cape
District in order to settle in Stellebosch. (1 STB 15/2, 32)

He first appears in the Opgaaf (tax) returns in 1702 as a
single man, and then in 1705 in Drakenstein with his wife,
Catharina Ermans, 5 sons and 2 daughters (but I suspect
the 5 sons must be a misreading for 3?), 2 slaves and
7000 vines.

From then on the opgaaf returns deteriorate, 1709 just
one slave and 5000 vines, 1712 no slave, 4000 vines, until
by 1716 they have moved to the Cape with their two sons,
three daughters and very little else. In 1719 we have the
widow Kerver listed with one son and 3 daugthers.

The surname appears in the earlier days mostly as
'Kerver', but later as 'Kervel'.

On the 26th October 1708, in a letter to Robben Island, the
person in charge there is ordered to return 'the banished
burgher Jurgen Kerver'. (Leibbrandt, Letters Disapatched,
1695-1708, page 394).

Burger Kervel 1710-circa 1774

baptized 16 March 1710, Stellenbosch 5
died circa 1774 6

Notes: From the Opgaaf (Tax) returns, where he
first appears in 1731 living in the Drakenstein District, he would
seem never to have married.

Between 1735 and 1757 he seems to have been farming in a very
small way, at first in the Cape District and then from 1741 in the
Stellenbosch District. From 1761 onwards he owned nothing but
his horse and his guns.

His estate accounts list very little other than small debts. His
heirs were listed as:

Isaak Nieuwwout as heir of the widow Corenelis Pieters: Stapper

and Hendrik Andries Truter married to Susanna Catharina Victor
and Johannes Victor as heirs of the late Wijnand Victor

Catharina Kervel died 1760

Notes: She is included as a child of the above
couple on the following grounds: In 1730 she and her
husband were the witnesses at the baptism of Isaac
son of Isaac Niewout and Anna van Wijck, and in 1731
this latter couple were the witnesses at the baptism
of Anna Catharina Victor. And in 1734 Catharina and
Christiaan Victor were the witnesses to the baptism
of Anna, daughter of Gerrit van Wyk and Maria Pruvo.

 married 4 June 1730 [according to De Villiers/Pama] 11

Christiaan Victor
