Witnesses: Abraham Prevoo, en Johanna Jan van Marseveen[12]
Events
Born the 12th of 17 children, from the same mother. Her French born mother Anna Prevot from Calais, came by sea to the Cape at aged 7. This amazing woman had a harrowing experience later when she discovered three elephants rubbing themselves against the walls of their dwelling. Anna shot at them for fear of them pushing over their home. In 1740 at death of her father, 11 children still survived.[2]
↑Martha will be profile protected with the LNAB being Willemse though this isn't strictly correct given the time frame - patronymically she would have been noted as Schalks[e][dr], not as Willemse (van der Merwe not even being mentioned), however at this time the naming system was already in transition to the more modern system and following WikITree policy we have to note exactly the LNAB as can be read on the baptism.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Martha:
Van der Merwe-2355 and Willemse-169 appear to represent the same person because: Please double-check this one -- LNAB is different, but her parents were duplicated
Hi, could one of the active managers also add the project profile [email address removed] to the trusted list of this profile [Privacy Tab] and then also activate it as active manager to this profile, please? And send me a notice, thanks! (we are having this profile Project Profile Protected) Philip (project research coordinator)
Van Der Merwe-166 and Van der Merwe-312 appear to represent the same person because: Same data (name, spouse etc.) Van_der_Merwe-312 has the correct spelling of the LNAB and should be the target profile to merge into (even though it is the higher number).
