English (Events)

Mrt 6, 1707 "Hendrik Biebouw / Bibault ... son of surgeon Detlev Biebow (from Mecklenburg) & immigrant orphan girl Willemintje Ariens: de Wit (from Rotterdam) - shipped out with 7 other orphan girls on the ship China (1688) ... step-son of Stellenbosch deacon Jacob Pleunis (from Orsoy [Rheinburg]) ... his biological father & step-father both sire illegitimate children {Susanna} by Malagasy slave women Susanna [ed. This is actually Diana van Madagascar - see: http://e-family.co.za/ffy/exhibits/timeline-diana.pdf [Delia Robertson] ^[8][9]] & Lijsje van Madagascar respectively] … who goes on a rampage (1707) with his 3 unmarried cohorts - coinciding with free-burgher Adam Tas et al agitation against Willem Adriaan van der Stel's governership & cronyism - assaulting the miller at Stellenbosch, Sebastian Schroeder (from Schledehausen near Osnabrück) thereby gaining latter-day notoriety & commemoration for uttering contumaciously to interceding Landdrost Johannes Starrenberg: "ik wil niet loopen, ’k ben een Africaander al slaat die landrost myn dood, of al setten hij mijn in den tronk. Ik sal, nog wil niet swygen" ... which quote (since 1928 & subsequently) - arguably - is generally taken out of context, politically reconstructed & claimed to represent the beginnings of latter-day "Afrikaner" identity ...

… his friends in crime are:

• Hans Beijer - son of former brothelkeeper Catharijn Wagenmakers: van de Caep & grandson of reprieved-from-the-gallows & banished convict Groote Catrijn van Paliacatta;

• Jan Cloete - grandson of murdered cattle rustler Jacob Cloete (from Cologne) & youngest son of intrepid hunter & Drakenstein ensign Gerrit Cloete (from Cologne) who farmed at "Idas valley", Stellenbosch & "Allesverloren", Riebeeck Kasteel whose older brother Jacob Cloete (1675-1713) mercilessly (fatally?) beats up (1696) 'stamvader' Jan Smit (from Maastrict [Limburg]) – aided & abetted by another Cape-born youngster Jan Harmensz: Potgieter (1674-1733) “saying that a Cape-born man should not give way to a fellow from the fatherland” (seggende 't is niet te dulden dat een Caaps kindt voor een vaaderlandts keerel souden moeten swigten ...); and

• Matthijs Greeff - son of Stellenbosch heemraad Matthias Greeff (from Magdeburg) & Cape-born Susanna Claassens & step-grandson of Robben Island-banished bully, wife-beater & slave killer Jacob Artzen / Aertzen / Ertzen / Hertsz / Aartsz: Brouwer (from Tiel [Gelderland])." ^[10]
