2. | Lorenz CAMPHER, progenitor was born about 1664 in Netherlands; died in in Cape, South Africa. Notes: In February 2000 I e-mailed Mansell Upham as follows, 'After several e-mail communications with Janet Melville (because of her interest in the Louws, Van der Merwes and Van WYks), I have received from her an 'uitset' in HTML of her amended version of my ancestors with those particular surnames. The individual, though, at particular issue here is, and I quote from Janet's HTML attachment, '7.48 ?,Ansela :van die Kaap «KP [5838]' There's nothing else. Her husband was, it seems, the following person (taken from the same HTML text), '7.47 Campher(Campfer/Kamfer),Lourens(Lorenz) :- van Morrouw, burger Stellenbosch, eienaar van die plaas Murasie by Koelenhof, besit plaas Driesprong 1693 «DU [5837] X 1685' - a German immigrant? Do you perhaps any more information on the woman Ansela?' His reply contained the following, 'What Janet has given you is more or less what most people know about this couple. I can provide more information - but there is a hitch - as she is one of the women that I have been researching in depth recently. I am reluctant to divulge too much at this stage for the simple reason that we have two women by the same name whom I cannot discount with absolute certainty as being possibly one and the same person. Campher was indeed a German - from Pommerania - and you can find more about him in Hoge's 'Personalia of the Germans at the Cape'.There is another hitch - I am not entirely satisfied that the children attributed to her were necessarily hers. If Angenitie was indeed her daughter, then we have an exciting aspect to contend with - namely that her descendants would have been the many Van Wyks to be found amongst the Griqua, Nama and Rehoboth Basters. I do not want to say too much as this stage until I know more. I will let you know, however, once I am more secure about what I have managed to piece together.Have you ever visited 'Muratie'? They now produce a wine named after Ansela...' Lorenz married Ansela VAN DIE KAAP about 1683. Ansela was born about 1665; died in in Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
