General Information

  1. Hy het saam met sy pa op die plaas Nooitgedacht, Koelenhof, geboer.
    Op 15 Desember 1778 koop hy die plaas Groot Constantia by Jan Serrurier saam met alle los goedere en sestien slawe. Die plaas was in 'n slegte toestand en hy het nog sestien slawe gekoop om te help om die plaas weer op te bou.
    Hy het ook heelwat bouwerk gedoen wat teen 1792 voltooi was.
    Hy het ook nuwe wynstokke aangeplant om die ou verwaarlooste plante te vervang. Teen 1780 het hy reeds 10 000 nuwe wynstokke aangeplante had. Hy het 'n wyn van goeie gehalte geproduseer en sy brandewyn was gesog.
  2. Hy het die plaas verlaat en op Nooitgedacht gaan woon tot hy oorlede is. Sy seun, Hendrik, het die plaas oorgeneem. [1]
  3. Hy was een van die grootste grondbesitters in die Kaap. [1]
  4. Op 17 Februarie 1784 het 'n groep burgers 'n versoekskrif by die Politieke Raad ingedien waarin daar gewys word op die swak toestant waaronder die burgers 'n bestaan moet maak en versoek word dat daar iets aan hulle probleme gedoen word.
    Hendrik was een van die persone wat dit onderteken het as vooraanstaande kolonis. [1]

Cloete-829 and Cloeten-4 appear to represent the same person because: I did not notice that the person already existed due to different spelling his names

Done Anton. Enjoy your island stay
I completed the merger, but cannot clean up the bio right now, as I'm currently on an island with poor internet access, but will be able to do this in 2-3 weeks, but am happy for anyone else to proceed...

Hi Anton

Can you please change the LNAB on this profile to Cloeten as this is the surname as stated on his baptismal record.

Regards
