Uit Jan Bastiaansz (laaste man van Geertruijd du Toit se inventaris word dit duidelik dat bg. "Willem van der Merve Carelsz:" Jan se stiefseun van Geertruid (Carel v d M se seun) is.
Dus: Anna Provo en Schalk Willem van der Merwe se seun Carel van der Merwe was met Geertruijd du Toit getroud en hul seun was Willem b. circa 1720.
Geen huwelike tussen pa's, ma's en seuns/skoondogters nie.
