  1. 10.  Hendrik Adriaan GREEFFHendrik Adriaan GREEFF was born on 26 Jan 1828 in Lichtenburg, Durbanville Cape; was christened on 10 Feb 1828 in Ned Geref Gemeente Kaapstad (son of Matthys Hendrik GREEFF and Rachel Anna Jacoba DE VILLIERS); died on 3 Apr 1884 in The Farm Rooipoort, District Of Volksrust, S A.; was buried in 1884 and re-buried 1944 in Rooipoort, Volksrust Dist And Later Manana, Lichtenburg.

    • Alt Death: 4 Mar 1884, 'sandspruit', Wakkerstroom, Transvaal, South Africa

    Notes:

    The particular bonding that exists between Hendrik's descendants was triggered by the occasion when, near to the place where he later founded the town of Lichtenburg, his prayer for water was answered by the Lord. Hendrik returned to the place to give thanks on his 50th birthday.

    Many of his descendants have spontaneously followed suit, arranging family gatherings at the site and honouring the Lord in a special way on their 50th birthdays.

    The farm where he was born in Durbanville, Cape was named Lichtenburg, after the area in Germany from where his ancestor, Matthias Greeff came to South Africa in the 17th Century.

    Hendrik's date of birth has yet to be confirmed. The inscription on his gravestone reads 19 Jan 1928, the National Archives say it was 26 Jan 1828 and Gretha du Preez in her book "Stigter van Lichtenburg, Kommandant H A Greeff" states that the date was 29 Jan 1828. The latter date is shown provisionally, until further confirmation is found. In his book "Die wel en wee van Hendrik Adriaan Greeff", pp.34, A D Bosman quotes from the writing of ds de Vries, where he described how he joined Hendrik for his birthday celebration on 29 January 1878, thereby providing a further source to indicate that 29 January 1828 could be the correct date of birth.

    The first four large concentration camps in Germany were already in existence in 1937, two years before the war. They were Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Lichtenburg! (Source: Page 61. Veranov, Michael (Ed). 1998. The Third Reich at War. Siena Publishing.)

    Pieter du Preez remembers (2016) that great-grandfather H A Greeff owned a large home in a Lichtenburg suburb known as Doornfontein, later Retief Park. The house was later demolished. He doubts whether H A Greeff would have built the farmhouse at Manana. He was focused on the founding of the town.

    Later word-of-mouth evidence from close family members does, however, suggest that Hendrik did, in fact, build the stately farmhouse.

    Hendrik married Suzanna Maria REDELINGHUYS on 16 Jul 1855 in Hopetown, Cape, South Africa. Suzanna (daughter of Johannes Hermanus REDELINGHUYS and Jacoba Elisabet GROBLER) was born on 6 Jan 1837 in Malmesbury, Cape, South Africa; died on 21 Jan 1888 in Manana, District Lichtenburg, Transvaal, South Africa; was buried in Manana, District Lichtenburg, Transvaal, South Africa.

  2. 11.  Suzanna Maria REDELINGHUYS was born on 6 Jan 1837 in Malmesbury, Cape, South Africa (daughter of Johannes Hermanus REDELINGHUYS and Jacoba Elisabet GROBLER); died on 21 Jan 1888 in Manana, District Lichtenburg, Transvaal, South Africa; was buried in Manana, District Lichtenburg, Transvaal, South Africa.

    Notes:

    During 1858, while camping on the farm Elandsfontein where they wished to settle, Hendrik and Suzanne were guarding the cattle during the night. She saw something prowling around the camp, took aim and fired. Hendrik thought that she had imagined things but when morning came they found a lioness that had been shot by Suzanne.
