Notes - Harry Booyens believes him to be the Godefridus Klauten baptised by Jacobi and Sophiae Klauten in Oedt on April 2, 1651. Godefridus is Latin for Gottfried which could be shortened in German to Göert or Dutch Gert or Gerrit. This means that de Villiers and Pama is incorrect in assigning his sister Else as the elder sibling.
"Father: Jacobi Klauten
Mother: SOPHIAE; Katholisch, Oedt, Rheinland, Preussen.
• Godefridus Klauten Male ˜ 2.4.1651. This entry is referenced in the Bruehl archive as Ba 2010 fiche 3/6 p79. The name Godefridus is merely a Latinised version of Gottfried. In the Niederrhein area Gottfried is often reduced to "Gört" or "Göert"; hence the son "Gerrit" we know at the Cape. The witnesses to this baptism are two unknown people, namely Andreas Entgens en Metges Pauli.
• Adelheidis Klauten Female ˜ 28.2.1655. This entry is referenced
in the Bruehl archive as Ba 2010 Fiche 3/6 p90. In the Niederrhein the name Adelheid is often reduced to Eltgen; hence the daughter "Elsjen" (Dutch) we know at the Cape. The witnesses to this baptism are Petrus Sax en Agnes Klauten. It seems reasonable to conclude that the second witness was none other than Jacob's younger sister "Nehssgen"."
burger Rondebosch, later Stellenbosch.
Their marriage is listed in the register of the Cape Church: "«i»den 26 Augustus Gerrit Jacobsz Cloeten
