    du Plooy.paf: Philip van Wyck's research suggests that Roelof was the second son by that name born to Roelof Roelofsen VAN WIJCK and Susannetgen Jans, the older of the two boys, born on 1/1/1628, was assumed to have died in infancy.
    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. Now for the big mistake: Page 1154 dV/P about in the middle there is c8 Arie Willem ~2/11/1738 up to d5 Margaretha Johanna ~15/3/1795 just before b8 on p.1155; should be moved to p.1149 under b1c2 Gerrit ~30/9/1714, 3rd line from top. Then; c8 Arie Willem should change to be a2b1c2d1; this is thus the Willem a2 line . . .'
    What is entered here in this branch of the family reflects these suggested corrections.

  1. 4.  Arie VAN WYK, a1b1 was born about 1667 in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands; was christened on 18 Jan 1668 in Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands (son of Roelof Adriaensz VAN WIJK, a1 and Trijntje JANS); died before 15 Sep 1714 in Stellenbosch, Cape, South Africa; was buried in Stellenbosch, Cape, South Africa.

    Notes:

    Arie van Wijk farmer (1713) of Stellenbosch born circa 1668, Amsterdam baptized 18 January 1668, Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam died circa 1713 buried circa 1713, Stellenbosch will dated 29 April 1713

    Notes:
    In his will, dated 1713, he is described as having been born in Amsterdam and being 45 years old. In the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is recorded the baptism of 'Adrian, son of Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk and Trijntje Jans, 18th January 1668. (Amsterdam information kindly supplied by Bob Kernkamp). Since Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans also lived at the Cape, I think we can safely assume that this baptism is his. Also in his will he is desribed as 'sick, confined to bed'. One can speculate that in this year of Smallpox plague that this is what he was suffering from - certainly he died in the same year. For a general discussion of the early Van Wijks see my notes <../notes/VanWijk_intro.htm>.

    Notes:

    Familia 1966 No 3 page 2:
    The following are extracts from an article compiled by Philip van Wyk, an Anerican descendant of Cornelis Barentse van Wyck By Duurstede. He had made a study of the history of the home town of the van Wycks, and became interested in the van Wycks who came to South Africa. These extracts are made from a copy which he gave to Mr. Appie van Wyk of Bellville and has been made available for publication in Familia by Mrs A H v.d. Linden of Pinelands.
    While it has been well known for many years that the van Wyck family in Americaa considered Wijck bij Duurstede as their place of family origin in the Netherlands, although the scientific substantiation of this has only recently been set forth, there has been very little known or published about the even more numerous Van Wyck family long established in South Africa. As with the American branch using that term in a general sense, the records of the Van Wycks who have pioneered in newlands across the seas would appear to be quite accurate in their countries of settlement, but the data linking the places of their orgin in the Netherlands of the South African Van Wyks appeared sketchy. A study of existing South African genealogies, particularly those by Coetzee de Villiers, Cape Town 1893, Dr. D. du Toit Malherbe, Stellenbosch 1859, and J. B. Redelinghuys, Cape Town 1955, indicate that all of the Van Wyk name from Dutch colonial extraction in South Africa originate with two individuals, Willem and Arie, who are claimed to be brothers. The historian Theal, who has written the standard account of the founding of South Africa, mentions these settlers Willem and Arie (Adriaan) Van Wyk, but does not give their place of origin in the Netherlands. De Villiers states that although both Willem and Arie arrived at the Cape settlement in 1677, that Willem was born in Ingen (which is a small village in the Neder Betuwe), while Arie came from Netherland. For a time it was considered that as Willem and Arie were said to be brothers, that Arie as well as Willem was born at Ingen and only sailed from Amsterdam. De Villiers also mentions a third brother Roelof who left no descendants. Willem van Wijk settled in Stellenbosch, married Catharina Hillebrants and left a family of two children. Some Van Wyks in South Africa descend from him but the majority are descended from Arie who also settled in Stellenbosch, married Cornelia Helmes and left a family of nine children.
    Ingen in the Betuwe is a village within the general market town area of Wijck bij Duurstede by ferry across the Lek. It is one of a half dozen such villages including Xersteren, Lienden, Ommeren, Eck en Wiel, Muric, Rijswijk, Ravenswaaij and Asch as well as the towns of Culemburg and Rhenen whose archives ?

    In die Gemeentelijke Archiefdienst Amsterdam, Nederland is die volgende opgeteken: Uit die DTB (Doop en Trouw Boek) 490, bls 350: 30 Julij 1667, ,,Ondertrouw'' (gebooie) van Roelof Ariaense en Trijntie Jans. Roelof Ariaense van ......(onleesbaar; kan moontlik Ingen of Engen wees) schoenmaker oud 24 jaar ouders doot geast (geassisteer) met Jonas Beek woont in de passeerderdwarsstraat. (m.a.w. gebore in 1643 in Nederland) Trijntje Jans van Wedde oud 30 jaar ouders doot geast met Annetie Jonas woont in de passeerderstraat. (m.a.w. gebore in 1637 in Nederland) Uit die DTB 971, bls 493: Huwelik van Roelof Adriansz met Trijntje Jans op Sondag den 21 Augustus 1667.
    Behalwe vir die datums is dit ook uit hierdie argiefstukke duidelik dat Roelof Adriansz van WIJK (Adrians zoon) die seun van ene Adrian was en dat sy seun Adrian (Arie) na sy oupa vernoem is.
    Bron: Hierdie navorsing is gedoen deur Stephanus (Fanie) VAN WYK (* 25.01.1931) op 4.12.1973 en beskikbaar gestel vir hierdie publikasie. Fotostatiese afdrukke is as bewysstukke in besit van laasgenoemde nasaat.
    By die doop van Adrian (Arie) word die ouers aangegee as Roelof Adriansz van WIJK en Trijntje JANSZ.
    Aankoms in die Kaap ongeveer 1677 (slegs bereken, datum nog nie met oorspronklike bronne bevestig nie) met sy vrou Trijntje en seun Adrian (Arie) (gedoop op 18.01.1668 te Amsterdam).
    Volgens J. HOGE in 'Bydraes tot die genealogie van ou Afrikaanse Families' (Kaapstad, 1958, p.153): op 18.08.1688 is Trijntje in Kaapstad aangeneem as lidmaat van die Hervormde kerk aan die Kaap.
    Volgens die Kaapstadse Doopregister is hy teenwoordig tydens die doop van sy kleinseun Roelof op 05.09.1694.
    Op 23.03.1694: Roeloff van Wijk, Vry Burgher in Drakenstein, verkoop al sy besittings, asook die slaaf Anthonie van die Kaap (oud 16). Op 18.10.1694: Raachel van Batavia (26) verkoop deur Jan Cotse aan Roeloff van Wijck vir Rds. 115. 12.04.1695: Cupido van die Kus (22), verkoop deur Guilliam Heems aan Roeloff van Wijck vir f400, Indiese waarde, op voorwaarde dat hy Cupido nie gedurende die eerste twee jaar mag verkoop nie.
    In geskrifte boer Roelof aan die westekant van Kiukenvallei (Kuikensvlei) tans Raithby. In die 'Gedenkboek Stellenbosch Drie eeue', word Trijntje Jansz op 28.10.1699 as weduwee van Roelof van Wijk aangegee.

    Philip van Wyck's research suggests that Roelof was the second son by that name born to Roelof Roelofsen VAN WIJCK and Susannetgen Jans, the older of the two boys, born on 1/1/1628, was assumed to have died in infancy. 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. Now for the big mistake: Page 1154 dV/P about in the middle there is c8 Arie Willem ~2/11/1738 up to d5 Margaretha Johanna ~15/3/1795 just before b8 on p.1155; should be moved to p.1149 under b1c2 Gerrit ~30/9/1714, 3rd line from top. Then; c8 Arie Willem should change to be a2b1c2d1; this is thus the Willem a2 line . . .'What is entered here in this branch of the family reflects these suggested corrections.

    Notes:

    Van die Kaap.

    She was the stephdaughter of Kees de Boer.
    Ook bekend as Adriana Gabrielse van de Kaap, dogter van Catrijn van Malabar en stiefdogter van Cornelis Claassen.
    Sy was gedoop in Kaapstad 13 November 1662. Sy was voorheen getrou met Hendrik SPELDENBERG. Na Pieter gesterwe het trou Arriaanje met Coert Helm.

    Sy was die dogter van Cathryn van die Kaap.
    She was born in slavery and illegitimate, according to Mansell Upham, 'freed from her mother and legitimised in terms of her mother's marriage to her stepfather, Cornelis CLAESZ ... alias Kees DE BOER on 15 March 1676'.

    In Huweliksregister na verwys as Stiefdogter Van Kees De Boer (a.k.a. Cornelis Claasen?) - hierdie stelling is nie WAAR: haar van is eers as Cornelisse aangegee maar toe doodgetrek.
    13.11.1667 word gedoop "een slavinne kint van den E.H. Comman: Qualbergen, wiert genaemt Adriaentje de moeder Catherijn tot getuijge stont in persoon van de juffr Qualberg haer slavinne". Die naam van Adriaantje se vader is onbekend.




    !Birth: RGN Mare 1.2, RTJ Lombard Catharina van Malabar had a child, with most probably a European father, this child was known as:
    *Adriaentje Cornelis baptised 13 November 1667, partner Hendrik Speldenberg, XX 9 July 1683 Pieter Gerritse (Boshouwer), XXX 12 Feb 1701 Coert Helm


    She was identified as the voordogter of Catharina, the wife of Cornelis Claasz (Kees de Boer) by Mansell Upham in his excellent article, The Soetkoek Syndrome, based on the evidence of her marriage entry in the Cape Town register.
    (Mansell Upham, The soetkoek syndrome, in Capensis 2/2001, pages 27-30).

    I have assumed that the child with Hendrick Speldenbergh was hers, since Elsie appears later in time in connection with this family (see below). Rather circular reasoning, but there it is!

    She also appears as a baptismal witness for her granddaughter Ariaantie, child of her daughter Elsie Speldenbergh, in 1702. The other witness is Robbert Jansen, husband of her half sister Catharina Cornelisse.

    In addition, her daughter, Elsie Speldenbergh, appears as a baptismal witness at a number of the baptisms of her cousins, children of Adriaantje Gabriels' half sisters, the children of Kees de Boer and Catharina his wife.

    In 1719 an enquiry found her poor and unable to pay her debt of 540 gulden, incurred by her husband Pieter Gerritsz. (source: TANAP: Cape Resolutions, C51, pages 53-56)
