Hans Ras 1 farmer (1662) 2 born circa 1636, Angel 3 died between March 1671 and April 1672 4 Notes: He was said to have been killed by a lion (private diary of Baron van Reede). If so Margaret Cairns postulates that the accident may have occurred around January 1671 and that he died, perhaps from the injuries, at some date between the 3rd March 1671 (when he signed a transfer deed) and April 1672 when Trijn Ras remarried. (Margaret Cairns, Tryn Ras - In: Familia, vol 15 & 16, 1978-79)

These were all left sums of money. An additional bequest was that of two cattle to Susanna van Vooren. Oddly enought, the internal evidence in this will, the age given for Hans and just two children mentioned for Claas, suggest a date of circa 1701, rather than that of 1705. Perhaps part was copied from an earlier will. He was not mentioned as one of his mother's heirs in the inventory drawn up on 18th August 1708.
