Margareta Pyl born 1710 baptized 17 August 1710, Stellenbosch 1 Notes: On the 7th May 1727 the widow Hans Keun petitioned the Masters of the Weeskamer stating that her daughter, Margareta Peijl, was promised marriage by the miller at Drakenstein, Christiaan Rabe but that now that she had become pregnant by him, he was no longer willing to marry her, denying that he was responsible. She asked for the assistance of the Weeskamer in making him fulfil his promise. At the next meeting, 21st May 1727, Christiaan Rabe and Margareta Peijl appeared before the Masters of the Weeskamer. He flatly denied responsibility for her pregnancy: she declared that she was willing to swear under oath that he and no one else was responsible for her pregnancy. He then agreed to marry her and accept the child as his own. Cape Archives MOOC 1/5 Minutes of the Weeskamer, pages 21 to 27.
