Gebeurtenissen 1 / Events 1

He first appears in the Cape records in the muster roll of Company servants of July 1703 as Andries Kreugel from Neurenberg, soldier, alongside Matthijs Kreugel from Neurenberg, soldier. ^[1]

On 10th January 1704, Andries Kreugel of Neurenburgh, soldier, was loaned out to Olaf Bergh by the Governor, Willem Adrian van der Stel. This was a usual practice at the Cape whereby the new master paid the keep of the soldier, but the latter was available for service. (source: Leibbrandt, The Defence of W.A.van der Stel, p.120) ^[1]

On the 14th September 1714 he requested and received permission from the Burgerraad to move from the Cape District to that of Drakenstein. (1 STB 15/2) ^[1]

The inventory drawn up in 1722 after the death of Zacharia Visser, lists four farms altogether, t Blomkooltje and t Heijningsboomtje at Paarl, de Cartouw over the Twenty Four Rivers, and Brandenburg in Piketberg. ^[1]

From the inventory the main dwelling house would appear to have been 't Blomkooltje at Paarl, whereas most of the animals seem to have been at de Cartouw and Brandenburg where the inventory suggests the living conditions were minimal. ^[1]

't Blomkooltje consisted, according to the inventory, of a Voorhuis with a room either side, a kitchen, a wine cellar, a smithy and a wagonmaker's shop. There are also seven slaves listed, apparently under the heading of 't Blomkooltje, six men and one young girl. ^[1]

In 1723 he bought the farm Weltevreden from the estate of his mother in law, Maria van Staden, and at the time of Maria Ras's death in May 1734, they were still living on that farm, the house of which, from the description, was identical to Blomkooltje, except that there is no wagonmaker's shop. The also had two extra farms on the Olifants River: Palmietfonteijn and Langevalleij. ^[1]

The farm Weltevreden was sold from their estate on 15th June 1734 to Burgert Brand for 14725 gulden. (MOOC 9/1/195, Coop Conditien) ^[1]

Homestead.

"I was related to your aunt Selena who died," said Tant Sannie. "My mother's step-brother's child was married to her father's brother's step-nephew's niece." "Yes, aunt," said the young man, "I know we were related ..." - Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) {Olive Schreiner (Schreiner-262)} from "Tant Sannie Holds An Upsitting, and Gregory Writes A Letter" ["The Story of an African Farm"] ^[6]

5 July 1706: Marriage of Zacharia Jans {Visser}, widow of Diederik Pötter {Putter} (from Zierenberg) to 2nd husband Andreas Krügel (from Tennenlohe). ^[6] Prior to her 2nd marriage she shacks up with the unmarried Cape-born Johannes Basson (legitimate son of Arnoldus Willemsz Basson (from Wesel) aka Jaght by his wife the famous freed slave woman Maaij Ansela van Bengale whose voorzoon is the slave-born, executed, halfslag free-burgher Jantje van As) & mothering an illegitimate, politically troublesome, [grand?]son (Arnoldus Johannes Basson). ^[6]

Also noteworthy, is the collective role - a veritable family affair - played by her many legitimate (Putter / Krügel) & illegitimate (Basson) offspring & relatives by marriage in supporting Estienne Barbier ^[8] - executed rebel or ‘social bandit’. ^[6] Historians overlook this very important aspect of his rebellion. These related 'rebels' are listed by name ^[6]:

Hendrik Krügel; Lodewyk Putter; Frans Campher; Arnoldus Johannes Basson; Hendrik Ras; Jan Olivier; Sybrand van Dyk {?} & Johannes Ras.

Significantly, some again undertake (1738) an illegal expedition (punitive raid?) to the !Ariep [Gariep or Orange River] – with Willem van Wyk [‘Willem Namaqua’] - notorious cultural broker who ‘goes native’ undertaking the Nama ‘t Kammi (urination or ‘golden shower’ initiation ceremony aka "pisplechtigheid") ^[6]:

Lodewyk Putter, Hendrik Ras, Matthys Willemsz {?}, Jacob Swart {?}, Frans Campher, Andries van der Walt, Sybrand van Dyk {?}, Augustus LOURENS & Jan GOUS - Servants of Hendrik Krügel.

Historians, sensing that the people supporting Barbier are a “closely related group”, however, eschew exploring more fully the actual family ties:

Lodewyk Putter, Arnoldus Johannes Basson & Hendrik Krügel are all half-brothers - being sons of Johannes Coenraedsz Visser (from Ommen) aka Grof’s legitimate daughter Zacharia Jans Visser. Their mother, 1st marries hunter Diederik Putter, but subsequently when widowed, has an illegitimate son by mesties burgher Johannes Basson & then marries colonist Andreas Krügel. Hendrik Ras & Johannes Ras, in turn, are step-uncles to the 3 afore-mentioned half-brothers, being brothers to their stepmother Maria Ras, 2nd wife to Andreas Krügel after the death of his 1st wife Zacharia Jans Putter, née Visser. Jan Olivier is brother-in-law to Arnoldus Johannes Basson whose wife is his sister. Sybrand van DYK is 1st cousin to Jan Olivier & to Arnoldus Johannes Basson's wife Catharina Olivier.
