    Van der Merwe,Schalk *volgens inligting in Bybel 14.07.1673 = Kaapstad 13.08.1673. Op 8 September 1692 is die erfbrief - slegs een dag na dit aan sy pa uitgereik is - vir De Hoop in Klein Drakenstein opgestel ten gunste van Schalk met die Goewerneur Simon van der Stel se persoonlike naamtekening onder die dokument. Hier is geen sprake van 'n vroëere toesegging nie; die gebied aan die oostekant van die Bergrivier word trouens op hierdie datum eers amptelik oopgestel. De Hoop het presies dieselfde mate en oppervlakte as Kunnenberg en is geleë in die onbewerkte strook tussen die Bergrivier en die Drakensberge en daar was geen bure in die omgewing nie. Die familie het vir 105 jaar hier gewoon; In 1715 terwyl hy op kommando teen die Boesmans was, kry Schalk teëspoed op De Hoop. Die plaas is sodanig verspoel dat hy dit moes ontruim. Daarom koop hy in 1716 Wittenberg in Noorder-Paarl van Christiaan Matzdorf (Maasdorp). Die oorspronklike oppervlakte van Wittenberg was 40 morg 560 vk roede, maar Schalk ontvang in 1717 'n bykomende 30 morg 240 vk roede sodat die vergrote Wittenberg nou 'n oppervlakte van 71 morg 200vk roede beslaan. Toe sy eggenote Anna Provost in 1740 oorlede is was hulle nog op Wittenberg woonagtig. Na sy dood word dit die eiendom van sy oudste kleinseun Willem gebore 1721. Dit is hier waar drie olifante op 'n sekere dag teen die buitegeboutjie kom skuur het en Anna, met die destydse ou logge geweer na hulle geskiet het, omdat hulle dalk haar woning kon kom omstoot; in Schalk en Anna se testament word die plase De Hoop en Wittenberg aan die 15de kind Roelof toegesê vir 'n vasgestelde prys, waarby 2 slawe en 'n ossewa met 10 osse ingesluit is. Die plaas Zachte Vallei is aan Gerrit bemaak, asook 'n slaaf en een ossewa met 10 osse. Aan Carel is kontant bemaak en 'n sekere slaaf Samson.

    On 5th June 1696 his parents, Willem Schalks and Elsie Jacobs Cloeten, deeded him a gift, to be considered part of their eventual estate, of :
    eight oxen, used to the plough; four harijs; two vaarse of two years old; one plough, one wagon and one yoke; one horse with its accoutrements plus other farm utensils
    These were to become his as soon as he married Anna Prevo, daughter of Scharl Prevo and Marij Lafreber.
    23 January 1702 muster rolls: Schalk Willemsz & Anna Pruvost, 4 kinderen
    His children are given as listed in the Inventory of her goods, drawn up on 10th October 1740, after the death of his widow, Anna Provo.
    He also owned a farm called De Sagte Valleij in the Land of Waveren, which, in 1740, was run by his son Gerrit van der Merwe.
    When he and his wife made their will in November 1739 he was ill and confined to bed ('Siekelijk te bedde leggend') and she was not well either.

    The farm "de Hoop" in Klein Drakenstein was given to him in 1692 by governor Simon van der Stel. It was thus the second farm in the van der Merwe family (the first farm being "Kronendal" in Hout Bay). The Van der Merwe descendants lived on this farm for 130 years.
    He was a renowned man, serving as member of the Heemraad of Stellenbosch as well as Drakenstein (Paarl).
    A local burgher commando under leadership of himself and Jan Harmense Potgieter was formed to protect the local farmers from Hottentot attacks in the Land van Waveren. 23 volunteers joined this expedition.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 13.  Anna PREVOT, b3 was born on 23 Jan 1681 in Marcq, Calais, Pas-De-Calais, France; was christened on 18 Feb 1681 in Marcq, Calais, Pas-De-Calais, France (daughter of Charles PREVOT, progenitor and Marie LE F); died before 10 Oct 1740 in Cape Town, Cape, South Africa.

    Notes:

    Aankoms 1688 vanaf Amsterdam op die skip De Schelde, weeskind. Came out with Carel Prevot.

    Anna arrived in the Cape with her parents in 1688 on the ship "De Schelde".
    On a certain day 3 elephants began to rub against the walls of one of the buildings on their farm. Anna shot at them for fear of them pushing over her home.

    Janet's notes, '...a(ankoms) 1688.05.29 met die (De) Schelde van Calais, Frankryk; volgens die boedelinventaris in 1740 is daar nog 11 oorlewende kinders...'

    Alternative date" 18.2.1681

    Died:
    Inventory of Estate dated 10 October 1740 at Wittenberg
    When the inventory of her estate was drawn up in 1740 it was stated that her son Roelof van der Merwe ran the two farms Wittenberg and De Hoop, both in Drakenstein. As the inventory was drawn up and signed on Wittenberg, presumably she lived with him there.

    Notes:

    Married:
    Pama Vol 2 gives the date of the marriage as June 1680. That would make Schalk 6 years old. Their first child was Christened in August 1697 so it is more likely that Schalk was married 1690 or 1696.

    Beroep: Landbouer

    Hy was Pieter Willemsz van Heerden, afkomstig uit die dorp Heerde in Gelderland, Nederland. Pieter Willemsz het gou Pieter Willem geword en hy word so in die meeste vroe dokumente beskryf. Hy het as +/- twintig jarige in April 1701 in die skip "Popkensburgh" aan die Kaap aangekom. Hy het sy vyf jaar by die Oos-Indiese Kompanje uitgedien, vryburger geword, en getrou met Magtilt van der Merwe.

    Hy het hom gevestig in't Lant van Waveren (vandag as Tulbagh bekend) waar die vroegste setlaars hul grond in lening ontvang het. Die pagter het slegs geskrewe verlof van die Gowerneur en Raad ontvang om die plaas waarvoor hy
    aansoek gedoen het, een jaar te bewei. Daarna moes hy sy aansoek herhaal. As die plaas nie na die setelaar se smaak was nie, kon hy na 'n jaar na 'n ander stuk grond trek en daar weer opnuut aansoek doen. Enige verbeteringe op die vorige plaas (geboue) kon vir die besitter se voordeel verkoop word wanneer hy die plaas ontruim. (Graham Botha: Social Life in the Cape Colony, bl 66 en 67. W Bird: State of the Cape of Good Hope in 1822, bl 102)aangekom. In 1712 is die plaas De Veerkeyker aan Steven Bruere toegeken. Teen 1714 het meer van die boere begin aansoek doen om hulle leenplase in vrye eiendom te besit. Die Gowerneurslandmeter B J Slotzboo het in Augustus en September 1714 die nodige opmetings gedoen en te kaart gestel. Kort hierna ontvang die eerste agt boere,
    een van hulle was Pieter Willem, hulle plase "van nu af te mogen bezaaij en beplanten, bepooten, betimmerin en eerselyk te bezitten". 'n Voorwaarde van hierdie uitgiftes was dat jong eikebome of ander gewasse aangeplant moes word om afgekapte bosse te vervang en dat 'n tiende van die ingesamelde graanoes jaarliks aan die Kompanje oorgedra moes word. Indien enige burger sy grond nie volgens bogenoemde voorwaardes bebou of gebruik nie, sou dit die owerheid vrystaan om die grond af te neem en aan 'n ander persoon oor te dra. (Aktekantoor, Kaapstad:Old Stellenbosch Freeholds, Vol 1 and 11) Hierdie eerste agt plase was ongeveer 60 morg groot en is aan vier Hollandse
    setelaars en vier Franse vlugtelinge gegee. Hierdie agt was:

    Pieter Willemsz van Heerden - Weltevreden
    Jean Joubert - Montpellier
    Charles Prevot - Amaquas Eiland
    Roelof (Janzoon) van Hoeting- Arnheim en La Gratitude
    Philippe des Pres - Artois en De Hoop
    Willem van Zyl - Leeuwenhoek
    Jacob Theron - La Rhone
    Hendrik Olivier - Lowsenklip

    Pieter Willem en sy vrou Magtilt van der Merwe het twaalf kinders gehad, waarvan vyf seuns was. Behalwe vir Jacob en Willem, is al die ander seuns jonk dood. Jacob is met 'n nooi Jordaan getroud en het een dogter gehad. Hy is in
    1747 op 29 jarige leeftyd dood. Willem het soos sy pa, ook twaalf kinders gehad, waarvan 9 seuns was. Met die nege seuns begin die vertakking van die famielie en al die van Heerdens in die land stam van daardie nege seuns af.

    Pieter Willem van Heerden het op sy plaas Weltevreden gebly tot sy dood in 1763. Die jaar voor sy dood is die plaas oorgedra aan sy dogter Petronella en haar man, Johannes Stephanus Moller. Die plaas is in latere jare, soos met die
    meeste ander ou plase, in omtrent ses plase verdeel. Op 30 Desember 1991 het ek (Schalk Pierre) saam met my pa (Willem Schalk Jacobus) en my seuntjie (Cordell Sean) die ou plaas Weltevreden besoek. In die famielie begraafplaas
    lyk dit of daar omtrent ses grafte is. Net twee het leesbare grafstene gehad, waarvan die een 'n onlangse een is. (Paul S Moller en sy vrou Hester H J gebore van Heerden op 6 September 1891) Ek vermoed dat die graf van Pieter
    Willem ook in hierdie begraafplaas is. (Om by die begraafplaas op die plaas Weltevreden te kom, ry vanaf Wolseley in die rigting van Tulbagh. Net buitekant Wolseley, in 'n dip, is 'n afdraai na regs vir Boontjiesrivier. Draai hier regs op 'n grondpad en ry tot 'n klein bordjie Kleinboontjiesrivier aantoon. Draai hier links. Die pad loop deur 'n plaas en gaan by 'n
    plaashuis verby. 'n Entjie verder begin die plaas Weltevreden. Ry met die pad aan tot 'n paar honderd meter voor die plaashuis. Die begraafplaas is aan die regterkant met 'n wit muur om en kan nie gemis word nie.)

    Die van Heerdens is tradisievaste mense en volg streng tot vandag toe, met enkele uitsonderinge, die tradisionele manier van naam gee, nl oudste seun kry sy vader se vader se naam, tweede seun sy moeder se vader se naam, derde seun sy vader se naam, die oudste dogter kry haar moeder se moeder se naam, die tweede dogter haar vader se moeder se naam, die derde dogter haar moeder se naam, en eers daarna mag na willekeur name gekies word. Die gevolg hiervan is dat menige van Heerden's dieselfde naam het.

    Erfbrief sê Van Eeden, maar is duidelik foutief.
