"I was related to your aunt Selena who died," said Tant Sannie. "My mother's step-brother's child was married to her father's brother's step-nephew's niece." "Yes, aunt," said the young man, "I know we were related ..." - Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) {Olive Schreiner (Schreiner-262)} from "Tant Sannie Holds An Upsitting, and Gregory Writes A Letter" ["The Story of an African Farm"] [6]
5 July 1706: Marriage of Zacharia Jans {Visser}, widow of Diederik Pötter {Putter} (from Zierenberg) to 2nd husband Andreas Krügel (from Tennenlohe). [6] Prior to her 2nd marriage she shacks up with the unmarried Cape-born Johannes Basson (legitimate son of Arnoldus Willemsz Basson (from Wesel) aka Jaght by his wife the famous freed slave woman Maaij Ansela van Bengale whose voorzoon is the slave-born, executed, halfslag free-burgher Jantje van As) & mothering an illegitimate, politically troublesome, [grand?]son (Arnoldus Johannes Basson). [6]
Also noteworthy, is the collective role - a veritable family affair - played by her many legitimate (Putter / Krügel) & illegitimate (Basson) offspring & relatives by marriage in supporting Estienne Barbier [7] - executed rebel or ‘social bandit’. [6] Historians overlook this very important aspect of his rebellion. These related 'rebels' are listed by name [6]:
Hendrik Krügel; Lodewyk Putter; Frans Campher; Arnoldus Johannes Basson; Hendrik Ras; Jan Olivier; Sybrand van Dyk {?} & Johannes Ras.
Significantly, some again undertake (1738) an illegal expedition (punitive raid?) to the !Ariep [Gariep or Orange River] – with Willem van Wyk [‘Willem Namaqua’] - notorious cultural broker who ‘goes native’ undertaking the Nama ‘t Kammi (urination or ‘golden shower’ initiation ceremony aka "pisplechtigheid") [6]:
Lodewyk Putter, Hendrik Ras, Matthys Willemsz {?}, Jacob Swart {?}, Frans Campher, Andries van der Walt, Sybrand van Dyk {?}, Augustus LOURENS & Jan GOUS - Servants of Hendrik Krügel.
Historians, sensing that the people supporting Barbier are a “closely related group”, however, eschew exploring more fully the actual family ties:
Lodewyk Putter, Arnoldus Johannes Basson & Hendrik Krügel are all half-brothers - being sons of Johannes Coenraedsz Visser (from Ommen) aka Grof’s legitimate daughter Zacharia Jans Visser. Their mother, 1st marries hunter Diederik Putter, but subsequently when widowed, has an illegitimate son by mesties burgher Johannes Basson & then marries colonist Andreas Krügel. Hendrik Ras & Johannes Ras, in turn, are step-uncles to the 3 afore-mentioned half-brothers, being brothers to their stepmother Maria Ras, 2nd wife to Andreas Krügel after the death of his 1st wife Zacharia Jans Putter, née Visser. Jan Olivier is brother-in-law to Arnoldus Johannes Basson whose wife is his sister. Sybrand van DYK is 1st cousin to Jan Olivier & to Arnoldus Johannes Basson's wife Catharina Olivier.
