Arij VAN WIJK, WILLEMSE, a2b1

Notes:

J. A. Heese's comment was that at the baptism of this child Roelof and Trynjtie VAN WYK were witnesses, as they were at the baptism of Arie's first child, Roelof; suggesting that a relationship did exist.

Arij married Agnitie CAMPHER, b2 on 27 Dec 1711 in Stellenbosch, Cape, South Africa. Agnitie (daughter of Lorenz CAMPHER, progenitor and Ansela VAN DIE KAAP) was born about 1684 in Netherlands; died after 1740 in 'Elandskloof'. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Christoffel VAN WYK, a1b1c4 was christened on 3 Sep 1719; died in 1769 in Land van Waveren, Cape, South Africa (Tulbagh).

Notes:

Arrived about 1676/78 from Engen, Netherlands.
Johan van Deventer's text read, '. . . there are serious errors in the Van Wijck/Wijk/Wyk family tree. Roelof (not even mentioned in dV/P) is a1 and the father of Adrian (Arie) referred to as a2 in dV/P. It is more likely that Roelof and Willem were brothers with the same father but different mothers. Roelof (*abt 1643 in Holland), his wife Trijntje Jans (*abt 1637) and their son Arie van Wijck (~18/1/1655 in Amsterdam) came to SA about 1677. At the same time Willem van Wijck (*bef 1655) also arrived in SA.'
Volgens Pama II van Engen in Nederland afkomstig. Kom omstreeks 1676/78? in die Kaap aan.

http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/kfp/I225.htmlHe first appears at the Cape as a Company servant, working in the Company's Garden in 1672. By 1678 he was a free burger, working in partnership with Gerrit Teunisz and later with Hans Erntrout. (see my timeline for Willem van Wijk).
Two children by his first wife are recorded in the baptismal registers of the Cape Town congregation; Arie and Jannetie. The inventory taken after the death of his first wife, dated the 10th March 1695, notes that she left two minor children. Theseare named in the Weeskamer record dated 2 September 1712 as Arij and Gerrit van Wijk, so presumably Jannetie had died before 1695.
The children born of his second marriage are also listed in the 1712 Weeskamer note mentioned above, as Maria, Anna and Willem van Wijk.
For his wives and children see my notes on Trijntje Harmensz, his second wife, and for a general discussion of the early Van Wijks see my notes.
Willem van Wijk of Sandwijk, in Drakensteijn died 1702, (bet 23 January and 31st March)

Willem married Trijtjen HILLEBRANTS on 5 Aug 1685 in Cape Town, Cape, South Africa. Trijtjen was born about 1660; died about 1693-1695 in Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to the inventory taken after her death she left two minor children (not named) - in a later Weeskamer document of 1712 these two children are named as Arij and Gerrit van Wijk.

That inventory was dated 10th March 1695 and one would assume that she died shortly before that date.

Up to 1692 what records I have seen mention her name her as Trijntje or Catharina Hillebrants. The 1693 give the name of the wife of Willem van Wijk as Trijntje Wijkens. Does this mean her full name was Trijntje Hillebrants Wijkens?

By 1695 Willem is recorded living with Tryntje Harmens, who contnues in the Muster and Opgaaf records as his wife until she is recorded as his widow in 1702.

Adriaen married Jantgen AERTS. Jantgen and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
