Although death date is a bit off, this profile is empty and unconnected, to help clean up W/T, should probably be merged with Swart-261

? 13/3/1722, † 1780, x op 19/07/1750 met Elsabe (of Elsie) Jansen, (a9b2)  ? 17/08/1727, dogter van Jan Dirk Jansen (a9), ? Suid Afrika, x 16/9/1724 met Luytjie Willems (a1b12) was ‘n dogter van Gerrit Willemse en Magteld Cornelisse en het deur haar eerste huwelik op 1/9/1715 met Pieter Kemp van Brugge, die stammoeder van die familie Kemp in Suid Afrika geword. Dit is eienaardig dat Elsabe Jansen nooit haar vader volkome verdoop het nie, want toe sy haar beurt kry, noem sy die seun nie Jan Dirk nie maar Johannes Jochemus (b3c1d3). Bekende Jansenname onder Elsabe se nageslag is Luyje, Hendrina, Jan Jochemus (of Johannes Jochemus) en Gerhardus ( afgelei van Gerrit Willemse). Elsabe se suster Hendrina Jansen was getroud met Pieter Theron.

Daar is ongelukkig baie min aangaande die woonplase van Jan (Johannes) Swart bekend. Dat hy sy kinders op Stellenbosch laat doop het, beteken nie dat hy ooit daar gewoon het nie, en sy vader was met sekerheid reeds ‘n Overberger. Dit wil voorkom asof die plaas “Jan Swarkraal”, geleë in die pas tussen Napier en “Kouerivier” van die Rooi Strandveld, na hom heet, maar dit kan nie bewys word nie. “Jan Swartkraal” is in 1831 deur sir Lowry Cole aan Jan Wilhelmus Wessels toegeken. Jan het bepaald in 1750 op “Uilkraal” gewoon, op die plaas ontruim deur Anthony Visser (a4) na wie “Vissersdrif” (Ondervlei) genoem is. “Ondervlei is egter ver van “Uilkraal” geleë. Dit word dikwels aangeneem dat Jan Swart êrens naby Napier moes gewoon het, omdat ‘n groot stam Swart wat van hom afstam, al langs die Bietourivier gewoon het. Die bewyse is egter skraal, want hoewel sy seun Jacobus Johannes (d13) teen die duine op Soetendalsvlei gewoon het, is die nageslag van sy broer Petrus (d2), met die uitsondering van Dirk Hermanus (e1), Caledonners.
