1. | Helena DU TOIT was born on 23 Jul 1690; was christened on 6 Aug 1690; died in 1713 in Cape, South Africa. Notes: It was often believed that Helena's father was Francois du Toit. In fact he was her uncle - he also had a daughter named Helena (born 8 May 1695). C.C. de Villiers in his monumental genealogical work, "Geslacht-register der Oude Kaapsche Familien" (published in 1894) allocated three daughters to Guilluame and Sara, when in fact they had only one daughter. C. Pama and all the genealogists that came after him just followed in De Villiers' mistake. Helena married Jacobus BOTHA on 15 Mar 1739 in Cape, South Africa. Jacobus (son of Friedrich BOTH (BOTHA), progenitor and Maria KICKERS) was born about 1692 in Cape, South Africa; was christened on 24 Aug 1692 in Stellenbosch, Cape, South Africa; died in in Cape, South Africa.
