• Notes

  The Cape Muster Roll for 1712 lists: Jacobus van Eede & Regina Christina van Arensdorp The baptismal register for 1692 has for May 11: Den 11 Maij aen Stellenbosch een kint gedoopt waer van vader is Jan de Jonker, de moeder Elisabeth, als ghetuijghe stonden Jan Stevenz[e] Botma, ende Sophia van der Bijl, is genaemt Regina. In Personalia of the Germans at teh Cape an entry for LOOs reads LOOS HINRICH (S). - Olfen. Burgher at Drakenstein in 1692, since 1696 at Stellenbosch. ~ Lysbeth Jansz, wid. Jan Andresen of Arensdorp (q.v.). Children: Catharina (21.8.1701) ~ Christoffel Groenewald, Geertruyd (* 1704) ~ (1) 12.12.1723 Adam Albertyn of Delft; (2) Hendrik Lodewyk Wiederhold (see under Wiederhold); (3) 6.6.1734 Johannes Verbeeck (G.R. nr. 993). (Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 1021; V.C. 39, p. 157; Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 603 under 14.4.1704; Test. of 1726 in Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 650: 30.) Hello Ian, Sunday, October 15, 2006, 9:27:20 PM, you wrote: IvZ> de Villiers/Pama has Jacobus van Eeden, second son of the IvZ> Stamvader Jan Janse van Eeden married to Regina Christina IvZ> Deetlof. This name or anything close to it (Detlef, IvZ> Dietlef)does not appear in de Villiers/Pama until later in the IvZ> 18th century. I had a look at this problem by checking what records I have copies of here. First I checked the baptisms of the two children that De Villiers / Pama lists for Jacobus van Eden and his wife named as Regina Christina Deetlof. Both baptisms give her name just as Regina Christina - no surname. Church Register - Stellenbosch Congregation, Palmkronieke facsimile CD Maria Lisabeth, d'Vader Jacobus van Eden, d'Moeder Regina Christina, getuygen, Ary van Eden, met Maria Rossar, 19 April 1711 Katrina, d'Vader Jacobus van Eden, Moeder Regina Kristina, getuygen Hendrik Loots met Lijsbeth Jansen, 24 July 1712 There does not seem to be any record of the marriage which presumably took place about 1710 to judge from the baptismal date of the first child. The marriage register of Drakenstein does not survive from this period so there is nothing unusual in this. To complicate matters further, the muster roll at the end of 1711 (VC49) lists them as: Jacobus van Eeden & Regina Claasina van Arentsdorp (this is of course a copy of a copy - see my notes here: «u»<http://www.eggsa.org/transcriptions/monsterrollen/mr_intro.htm>«/u» But, a deceased estate account (boedelrekening) does exist for the couple (Cape Archives, MOOC 13/1/1, 62, date 1715). This lists the couple as: wijlen Jacobus van Eeden en desselfs huijsvrouw Regi[na ]Jonkers, the late Jacobus van Eeden and his wife Regina Jonkers I checked further and Jan Andriessen, called de Jonker, was married to Lijsbet or Elisabeth Jans. He died circa 1698 and she remarried Hendrik Loots. You will notice that this couple are the witnesses at the baptism of the second child of Jacobus van Eden and Regina Christina. This seems to indicate pretty surely that Regina was the daughter of Jan de Jonker. I have put the family with the evidence I collected here: «u»<http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/lombard/I405.html>«/u» Cheers, Richard -- Richard Ball, Norfolk, England evidence from Richard Ball 1 Church Register - Stellenbosch Congregation, Consulted both as microfilm at the LDS and Palmkronieke facsimile, also Cape Archives verbatim copies, originals at the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk Argief, Stellenbosch, G2 4/1, VC 639 baptisms, page 62, 1711 Maria Lisabeth, d'Vader Jacobus van Eden, d'Moeder Regina Christina, getuygen, Ary van Eden, met Maria Rossar, 19 April 1711 Estate Accounts - Van Eden, Jacobus and Regina Jonkers - 1713, dated 15th December 1715, Cape Archives, MOOC 13/1/1, 62 Generale Reeke. van den boedel en Goe[dere] naarggelaen en met 'er dood ontruijmt bij wijlen Jacobus van Eeden en desselfs huijsvrouw Regi[na ]Jonkers, ten voordeele van hare twee minderjarige nageleatene kinderen Maria en Geertruij van Eeden. de Villiers & Pama gives her name as Regina Christina Deetlof, but there is no other "Deetlof" listed.
