The Bothmanskloof Pass Today
In 1661, Commander Jan van Riebeeck and Corporal Pieter Cruythoff set off on an expedition inland where they climbed up a mountain (now known as Bothmanskloof Pass) and found before them a fertile valley that stretched as far as the eye could see. That day they saw “13 horses*, five rhinoceros and thousands of hartebeest” and they were stalked by lions. [3]
Mordern Day
March 2008: To my knowledge Today the Farm De Rust belong to the Pretoria Portland Cement Company: The Archaeology Contracts Office of the University of Cape Town was appointed to assess the heritage impact of the proposed expansion of the Pretoria Portland Cement facility called de Rust in Riebeek West in the Malmesbury district of the Westem Cape Province. [4]
I also found some information : De Rust is a farmstead and is located in West Coast District Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa. The estimate terrain elevation above sea level is 142 metres.
Unfortunately no owner indicated [5]

Marriage

Gysbert does not appear to have been married :

  6. "The Muster Rolls (monsterrollen), preserved in the form of transcripts in the Cape Archives as VC 39-55 and 103, were apparently yearly lists of the inhabitants at the Cape, drawn up by Dutch East India Company (VOC) officials, and sent to the authorities in the Netherlands where they were preserved. These are copies done by hand at the end of the 19th Century. to judge from the handwriting, presumably from the records preserved in the VOC archives at The Hague, Netherlands. So far I have been able to find no information on the transcriber or the circumstances. In VC 39 part 3 of these transcripts there are lists for the years 1660 to 1666/7 for each year, 1670 to 1675 for each year, 1677, 1679, 1682, 1685, 1686, 1688, 1690, 1691, 1692, 1693, 1695, 1696, 1698 and 1700. These records in the VOC archives are likewise copies, which were preserved in the archives of the Amsterdam Chamber of VOC. The originals must have been compiled at the Cape each year. Several copies were then made and forwarded to Batavia in Indonesia, headquarters of the VOC abroad, and the authority in charge of the Cape branch of the VOC. Other copies were presumably forwarded to the several Chambers of the VOC in the Netherlands. The originals, if they were kept at the Cape, did not survive.

Added the information needed that I have on the fact that Gijsbert was apparently never married Philip please see if the word "inheritors" is the correct word to use for "erfgename"
Where is stated that he did not get married?

Citation added to Biography for baptism as requested
Olivier-986 and Olivier-446 appear to represent the same person because: Same data even though Olivier-986 has a date of birth 100 years later than the date of death. Exact spelling to be still determined.
