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)
