Just to help others who might step in the same trap that I did:

De Villiers and Pama's entry for this Hendrik (de Villiers C.C, Pama C, Genealogies Of Old South African Families, Vol I, A A Balkema, 1981, p563 b2c13. See also de Villiers C.C. Oude Kaapsche Familien, part 2, p353: https://archive.org/details/OudeKaapscheFamilienPart2/page/n359/mode/2up.) states that Hendrik had three wives:

However, The MOOC entry referenced in the biography above clearly shows that Hester Pienaar was still alive when Hendrik died in 1762, so the Jacob baptised in the reference above, is the son of a different Hendrik van der Merwe, namely Van_de_Meruven-1.

Van Der Merwe-2710 and Van der Merven-1 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. Van_der_Merven-1 already existed.
