Daar word vertel dat hy Maria Louisa by haar pa gekoop het en dat daar +- 32 jr tussen hulle was (hy was 50 en sy 18). Die huwelik was nie gelukkig nie, en almal het geweet dat sy 'n verhouding met Casimiro se boekhouer en winkelklerk - Bras Piedade Pereira - gehad het. Die 3 het glo op 18.02.1865 saam tee gedrink en aan die boeke gewerk. Later die aand is Casimiro deur sy lyfbediende, Juzeh, opgeblaas en gesel in die bed aangetref.

Gustav Schoeman Preller (4 October 1875 in Klein Schoemansdal, Klipdrift, Pretoria – 7 October 1943 in Pelindaba) is known as a journalist, historian, writer and literary critic. He fought for the recognition of Afrikaans. Preller helped the Afrikaner to awake to the importance of the history of South Africa. He made great contributions to the writing of South African history, through his research and the literature. He also contributed greatly to making South Africans aware of the legacy of the Voortrekkers and also played an early part in planning the Voortrekker Monument.

Gustav was the son of Comdt. Robert Logie Preller and Stefina Schoeman (daughter of the Voortrekker Gen. Stephanus Schoeman). His parents farmed near Standerton where he attended school for only 3 years. Later he worked in Pretoria as a shop-assistant, an articled clerk and a civil servant, studying diligently when he found the time. When the Boer War started, he was working as a clerk for the Department of Mines and was married to Johanna, the granddaughter of M. W. Pretorius (i.e. 'Swart Martiens', the cousin of M. W. Pretorius) and Deborah Retief.

The South African Academy of Science and Art (Afrikaans: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns) gives out annually the Gustav Preller Award that has been awarded since 1909.

Engela was slegs 21 toe sy en Frederik getroud is. Hy was 57 jaar oud. Die ouderdomsverskil het tot n familietwis gelei wat gemaak het dat Frederik se kinders uit die vorige huwelik niks met die nuwe gesin wou te doen hê nie.

Frederik se pa is dood toe Frederik minder as 6 jaar oud was. Frederik word "aangeneem" deur sy oom Willem Sterrenberg Pretorius.

General Hendrik Jacobus Schoeman. Born 11 July 1840, died 26 May 1901. General Hendrik Johannes Schoeman (1840-1901). He surrendered on 5 June 1900 to General French, two days after the fall of Pretoria. He was arrested July 1900 by Commandant PF Coetsee while sitting at his home. He was seen as a 'hands-upper'. Later he and some friends were blown to smithereens when a lyddite shell, which he had brought back from Colesberg and which graced his parlour, exploded when it was used as an ashtray - an occurrence which pious Boerssaw as the 'finger of God on a traitor' Military History Journal - Vol 3, No 1,The Hands-Uppers, by V.E.

Susan jy is reg - sy was met oom Stollie getroud. My papier met bietjie familie geskiedenis ontdek (ek het eendag geskryf toe my ouma vertel het) - sy het vertel dat Oom Stollie hul se ossewa met huisraad aan die brand geraak het toe hul van Aasvoelrand na Ogies getrek het!Nou moet jy weet hoe lank terug is dit! Hy is dood nadat hy van 'n wa afgeval het wat vol voer was en toe inwendig seer gekry het waarna hy kanker gekry het, hy was 65jaar oud. Aunt Joey se regte name was Petrus Johannes - ek kan nou onthou ons was almal by haar begrafnis en aunt Sussie het met die begrafnisondernemer gestry en gese hul is daar vir 'n tannie se begrafnis. Blykbaar was haar name 'n goed bewaarde geheim!

Helene van Zyl

Volgens my notas het ouma Sannie wel 3 broers gehad - die een is dood as 2 jarige kind nadat 'n ossewa oor hom gery het. Sy naam was Jannie. Ken nie sy doopname nie. Oom Hekkie (Hendrik Johannes) was die ander broer wat met Aunt Martjie getroud was. Sy was 92 jaar toe sy 'n hartaanval gekry het - dit was in Vredefort en my ouma hul was 1ste daar want dit was baie naby die plaas. Oom Stollie was die ander broer wat met aunt Joey getroud was - ken nie sy regte naam??? Dan het ouma Sannie 1 suster gehad, hul het haar ta Maja genoem (Maria Helena Getruida) My ouma het haar name ge-erf en toe ek daarna. Ta Maja was met oom Job Wagner getroud - so oom Job was nie ouma Sannie se eie broer nie - dis nou volgens my notas. Die oom Job en ta Maja het 4 seuns gehad (Job, Koos, pastoor Hendrik en Nesar. Die pastoor is dood in karongeluk tydens huisbesoek en Nesar is by sy werk doodgeskiet).

Hendrik, the youngest son of the marriage was born in Swellendam on 7th December 1826 where his father had been “practicing” most of his life. He was a short, thick-set and strong man with blue eyes that blazed when he succumbed to his frequent fits of temper. Early in his life he became apprenticed to a blacksmith. About ten years after the battle of Blood River he arrived in the then recently established town of Pietermaritzburg where he met his future bride Susannah Magretha Maritz, an offspring of two great Voortrekker families.(1) He was doing work for her father, Francois Ignatius Maritz, a prosperous wagonmaker. On the 21st June 1847 they were joined in matrimony by the honourable Döhne in the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Pietermaritzburg. The following is an extract from their marriage certificate:

“Hendrik Muller, jongeman van 20 jaar wagenmaker van beroep” and

“Susannah Magretha Maritz, ‘n jongedogter van 17 jaar” were married “na

huwelyksgeboden met toestemming van der ouders”(2)

The newlyweds made their home in Berg Street Pietermaritzburg(3) where ten of their thirteen children were born.(4) Hendrik continued with his work as blacksmith and wagonmaker and by the year 1866 had accumulated “considerable wealth.”(5) A year later he stood surety for a friend(6) who went bankrupt with the result that Hendrik lost all the savings he had so diligently accumulated. Shortly after this disastrous financial setback Hendrik moved his family to the farm “Uitzoek” in the district of Harrismith. Later he moved into the town of Harrismith where he toiled once more as a blacksmith.(7) until his death in 1907 (or thereabouts).(8)

(1)She was the daughter of Dina Maria Uys (who was in turn the daughter of Jacobus Johannes

Uys, the Voortekker leader) and Francois Ignatius Maritz (The son of Salamon Maritz, who was the brother of Gerrit Maritz, another great Voortrekker leader). The young Susannah Magretha was present at the battle of Blood River.

(2)Archives, Pietermaritzburg.

(3)See Corporation notice in the supplement to the Natal Witness and Agricultural and Commercial

Advertiser dated 15th October 1858.

(4)The last three children were born in Harrismith.

(5)According to many of the compiler’s informants.

(6)Some members of the family are of the opinion that he stood surety for one of his cousins. The

compiler has not been able to elicit accurate information about what actually happened.

(7)See “General Directory for South Africa” dated 1888 and 1890 under the heading “Farriers and

Blacksmiths, Harrismith”

(8)One of the most striking features to emerge from this genealogy is the tendency toward

longevity as far as the menfolk of the Muller clan are concerned and the demise at an early

age of the womenfolk

In Will: Portion farm Buffelskloof

Mary Jane en Gert het hoofsaaklik gewoon op Noupoort. Die rede vir die grafte op King William's Town is dat hul jongste seun, John Charles daar predikant was en die egpaar daar op besoek was toe Mary Jane oorlede is. Gert se versoek in sy testament was om ook daar begrawe te word ten spyte van die kortstondige troue met Haaroff

Simon's wife, Maritgen Jans dr. van der Laan signed a contract in 1637 with the tilemaker Adriaen Cornelis van Leeuwen from Delft, which required him to move as speedily as possible to Harlingen where he was to spend a year painting saucers and tiles for Van der Piet. The contract names prices as

follows:

'fijne schutters', 36 stuyvers per 100 stuks;

'slechte mannekes', 24 stuyvers per 100 stuks;

'slechte stien' (eenvoudige tegels), 16 stuyvers per 100 stuks;

'scheepjes of ruiters te paard', 2 gld. en 10 stuyvers per 100 stuks.

Van der Piet's pottery was not, however, a large concern. According to an inventory of 1639 there were 2000 unbaked tiles. It seems likely that, at that time, they were already usring red, yellow, green and deep yellow colouring for their tiles, the traditional Harlinger colours.

In 1681 the factory was take over by Pytter Pytterse Grauda and Jan Folekerts Grauda for 2200 gulden.
