Notes:

Van Gelderland. Aankoms 1699 of 1700 met sy vrou en hul seun Jacob. Landbouer te Drakenstein op die eiendomsplaas "De Liefde" langs die Breederivier naby huidige Wolseley. Sterf tussen 1723 en 1729) (Jacob-sn)

Die van Scheepers beteken skaapherder.

Stamvader Coenraad Scheepers (a1) van Gelderland (nie Rotterdam nie, volgens sy testament in 1723 gemaak) arriveer met sy vrou Teuntje Gysberts en sy seun Jacob in die Kaap in 1699 of 1700, want hy word nie gelys in die 1699 sensus nie, terwyl sy tweede seun Gerrit gedoop word aan die Kaap op 5 September 1700. Na Teuntje se dood trou hy met Maria Botha (dogter van Friedrich Both, stamvader van die Bothas).

(Die ander stamvaders was Izaak Scheepers (a2), gebore in Rotterdam (Nederland) wat in 1712 hier aankom as skeepsoffisier in diens van die V.O.C. aan boord van die Grimmesteyn en wie se nageslag na een geslag uitgesterf het, en Hendrikus Josephus Schepers van Zutphen (a3), wat in 1854 eers in die Vrystaat aangekom het en heelwat nasate gelaat het).

Sy eerste twee seuns word in ouer bronne foutief aangedui as sy broers, maar J.J. Scheepers het in Familia No.4 1967 gewys daarop dat die doopinskrywing van sy seun Gerrit verwys na die vadersnaam as "Koenrd Jacobsz Scheeper" en die moedersnaam as "Teuntje Gysberts". Verder erf Gerrit saam met sy ouer broer Jacob hulle wetlike deel volgens hul vader se testament, waar hy na hulle verwys as "...aan zijn twee mondige zoonen met namen Jacob en Gerrit Scheepers in zijn vorigh huwelik geteelt..."

Coenraad was 'n boer in die Drakenstein area so vroeg soos 1702 volgens die opgaafrolle van daardie jaar (wat in die argiewe van die HOIK in Holland bewaar word), en waar na hom verwys word as "Coenraad Jacobse de Schepert" en ook sy vrou Teuntje Gysberts noem. Volgens JJ Scheepers sê Leibbrandt se Precis of Requesten en Memorien 1715-1806, no. 3 van 1723 dat hy op die plaas "De Liefde" op die oewer van die Breede Rivier in dieselfde distrik boer sedert 1706. Dis ongeveer 8 km vanaf Wolseley in die huidige distrik Tulbach en die grond was amptelik aan hom toegeken deur Goewerneur Mauritz Pasques de Chavonnes op 16 Februarie 1723.

Na sy dood het die plaas "De Liefde" oorgegaan na Jacobus Burger, man van sy dogter Geertruij - aangesien sy seuns Gerrit en Frederik na die Oosgrens van die Kolonie gegaan het.

Arrived about 1699 with his wife Teuntje Gysberts and their son Jacob. Farmed in Drakenstein until 1706 when he moved to the farm "DeLiefde" next to the Breede River about 10km from the town of Wolseley. He remarried Maria Botha in 1712,

Notes:

Description: Birth date is estimated from marriage date.

Baie dokumente oor die stamvader Coenraad (a1) verwys na hom as Coenraad Jacobsz (Jacob's zoon), wat dui daarop dat sy vader 'n Jacob Scheepers was.

He had a second wife, "also in Holland unknown". Ouer bronne dui hom aan as die vader van Coenraad Scheepers (a1), maar JJ Scheepers debatteer daarteen in Familia.
