Research Notes

  • [Citing Richard Ball] - In the early records of inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope, the Muster Rolls of Free Persons (Monsterollen van Vrije Luijden), and the Tax Lists (Opgaafrollen) there are 3 Van Wijks featured:
  1. Willem van Wijk who first appears as a free settler in 1678 as an apparently single man working in partnership with another free settler. He appears fairly regularly over the years, making his last appearence in 1702. I have prepared a a possible timeline (established from various resources) for him (Willem van Wijk) here. [20]
  2. Roelof van Wijk and his wife Trijntje Jans first appear in 1686 in the Cape Town baptismal registers when he and his wife were witnesses at the baptism of the son of Willem van Wijk. Their fist appearance in the muster and opgaaf rolls was in 1688. In the opgaaf rolls of that year they are listed as having one son. They appear regularly over the years. The muster roll of 1692 credits them still with one child, but the Tax roll of the same year list them without any children. They make their last appearance apparently in 1698. See their (Roelof van Wijk) possible timeline (established from various records).
  3. Arij van Wijk appears first in the Muster Roll of 1693 with his wife Cornelia (Hellemans) Hellems and 3 children and makes his last appearance in these records in 1712, the year before his death". See his for a possible timeline (established from various records) for Arij van Wijck born Amsterdam c 1668 died Stellenbosch 1713 (Richard Ball). [20]
[...] [it is] suggested that this Arij van Wijk was the son of Roelof van Wijk; that he was the one son listed with Roelof and his wife up to and including 1692; after which Arij appears in the records in 1693 with his newly married wife, Cornelia (Hellemans) Helmes and her three children by her previous husband. [20]
Although I do believe that Arij van Wijk was the son of Roelof and Trijntje, I think that this child, listed with them in the Muster Rolls and the Opgaaf Returns, was probably another child. From 1688 to 1692 Arij van Wijk would have been aged 20 through to 242 - I do not think he would have been listed with his parents as a child at that age. [20]
My guess would be that Willem and Roelof van Wijk were brothers, both sons of an unknown Arij van Wijk3, but I have so far come across no hard evidence of this." [20][21]
