Unruly Family Affairs

Kees Claasz (de Boer) & his Indian ex-slave wife , the gedoopte swartinne Catrijn (Catharina van Malabar), are 2 of the more interesting personalities inhabiting the early colonial Cape settlement & 1st to inhabit the newly found colony at Stellenbosch. Notwithstanding their frequent brushes with the law, they appear to play an important community role at Moddergat which later becomes an important ‘Coloured’ farming settlement & mission station outside of Stellenbosch. Their descendants in the female line ramify dramatically in the colonial community becoming the founding mothers of various whole family clans: Bezuidenhout, Van Locherenberg, Bronkhorst, Gerrits, Pyl, Rigt, Willemse, Kemp & Franke. The family is seldom without controversy. Their surviving daughters all lead eventful lives:

• Adriaentje has an illegitimate child by one Hendrik Speldenberg.

• Cornelia drives her husband Abraham Bastiaansz: Pyl to take his own life by slitting his throat.

• Aeltje, after her husband Heinrich Jansen Heyder is convicted for assaulting a ‘Hottentot’ named Lucifer, seeks succour as concubine to the soon-to-be murdered Jacobus van den Berg which murder takes place in the house of her sister Catharina.

• Maria dumps her Frisian husband Gerrit Willemse permitting her socially misfit free-black paramour Isaac Pietersz: van de Caab to remove her undesirable spouse by dragging him by the hair out of his own home to become a vagabond ... ^[5]
