Events

Susanna BIEBOUW ook gespel Bibault, Biboud en Bibout), erkende voordogter van Dietlof Bibouw van Meckelenburg en die slawevrou Diana van Madagascar. Susanna was gebore gebore 23 Februarie 1687. Haar moeder was ook bekend as Diana van de Kaap, sy was 'n slavin van Cornelis Linnes. [2]
Haar half broer Hendrik Biebouw het die uitdrukking gemaak "Ek ben een Africaander" [2]
[den 23 dito (Febr.) 1687] Susanna, Diedelof Biebou en Diana, slavin van Cornelis Linnes. This baptism is extraordinary for the period in that the white father is named. A comparative timeline (see below) for all slaves named Diana in this time reveals Diana van Madagascar to be the only known candidate as mother to Susanna. A further clue to the probable continuous relationship between Biebow and Diana, would be his subsequent purchase of a slave woman named Diana van Madagascar. Bibouw married (1688) so that his relationship with Diana remained de facto." http://e-family.co.za/ffy/exhibits/timeline-diana.pdf [Delia Robertson] [10][11][12]

Date: 23 FEB 1687 [2]
Place: arrived in Cape Town [2]

Porphyria Variegata

Hendrik het geen nageslag by die Kaap nagelaat nie. Daar is 'n teorie dat hy dalk 'n genealogiese konneksie tussen Afrikaner-Aboriginal kan wees. Philip Playford dink dat Hendrik dalk die Kaap verlaat het op 22 April 1712 met die skip Zuytdorp. Hierdie skip het vergaan aan die Wes-Australiese kus. Daar is baie goeie redes om te glo dat 'n aantal van die skeepsvolk oorleef het en dalk deel geword het met die plaaslike Aborigines, dit is op grond van die volgende feite:
  1. Both have a common genetic diseased Porphyria Variegata. Dr Geoffrey Dean from Dublin an expert in this disease looked at this common connection. One of the theories is that both Hendrik Biebouw's mother and his mother's half sister Willemyntje Ariens de Witt (married to Gert Jansz van Deventer) were the carriers of this disease. However more recent research indicate that they are two different strands of the disease
  2. Many of the Aborigines suffer from the Ellis-van-Crevell syndrome. This is where one has an extra toe or finger, this phenomenon also occurs amongst the Amish in America who are from Dutch background.
  3. Playford suggest from archeological excavations that 30 persons may have survived the shipwreck. They located campfires, huts, coins, glass and belt buckle
  4. Philip Pendal chairman of the Western Australian government's "Select Committee on Ancient Shipwrecks" states - "growing body of opinion that some survivors of the Zuytdorp lived in the area between Kalbarri and Shark Bay" "The evidence is not conclusive, but it had far more substance than previously thought."
  5. A number of Aborigines from that area have square jaws and have blond hair. As noted Hendrik left no progeny at the Cape. His half sister Susanna did leave descendants. [2]
Onlangse inligting dui daarop dat die porphyria siekte onder die Aborigines nie identies is, as onder die Afrikaners is nie. [2]

  12. Susanna who was baptised on 23 February 1687 (at her baptism she is referred to as being the slave of Cornelis Linnes). It is thought that Susanna died during the Smallpox epidemic. Is Susanna Biebouw the mother of Willem Odendaal? Submitted by Sakkie on Tue, 2007-08-07 07:55. "This is what is so fascinating about research! It actually means to search again and find new evidence. This is what happened with respect to the 'possible' death date of Susanna given as 1713, two years before the christening of Willem Odendaal, born 23 Oct 1715, christened 9 Jan 1715, the first son of Wilhelm Odendall. This is an honest attempt to determine a date of death for Susanna Biebouw. The researcher, Elmien Wood, states her case in Maiores, Volume No 1 of February 2007, but I cannot say that it is conclusive. It does give the information regarding the parents of a Willem at the christening and also the witnesses being the family of Judith Nel, Wilhelms’ second wife (x1717). It is still nota birth information confirmation, but rather a christening detail. The detail regarding the death of a Susanna Odendaal, is also not conclusive in this new research. It may be a child, as another Susanna Odendaal was born 26 Dec, 1716, christened 9 Dec 1717. In this case one of the witnesses is Jan Nel, Judith’s eldest brother. Why will Wilhelm and Judith name their first daughter to his deceased wife? As was common in these days, the third daughter (Susanna) should have the name of her mother. ‘Opgaafrolle’ are given as evidence to state the case, but there are no detail for the period 1712 to 1719 and it can therefore not be used as confirmation to the fact. Where does it bring us now? The following information will be crucial. Get the birth detail of Willem Odendaal. Make sure that the record of death of Susanna Odendaal states the age , or any other detail to determine that it definitely refers to Wilhelms wife. Get hold of the ‘opgaafrolle’ (census or income statements) of Wilhelm Odendall for the period 1712 to 1717 at least. When we have these documents we should be able to determine who the mother of Willem Odendaal is." Added by May 5, 2013 by Dina Vermaak.

Data error corrected - Willem was connected to the incorrect mother
Warning: Check the data.

A mother's death date should not be before one of her children's birth dates.
