Biography

Simon Plooijer bekend as Simon du Plooy: Afrikaans

DU PLOOY Simon: Die naam Plooijer is van Nederlandse afkoms en meer spesifiek die Zaanstreek. Reeds in 1667 word die naam gevind in die Spinhuys in Krommenie se rekeningboeke waarin melding gemaak word van die Ploijers kinderen. Alle persone wat die van Plooijer het stam van Pieter Pietersz Plooijer van Krommenie af. In die boek De Zaanse Volkstaal (Dr CJ Boekenoogen uitgawe Sythoff) staan daar o.a die volgende: "Plooijer: znw. Zeker soort van Schuier, een langharige zachte kleerborsel, doorgaans ovaal van vorm, enz. Komt ook nog als geslachtsnaam voor nl. PLOOIJER." Dit word aanvaar dat Pieter Pietersz Plooijer of selfs sy pa, Pieter Claesz van Neck ‘n borselmaker was. [1]
Die immigrant se voorouers [1]:
A. Pieter Claesz * ca 1695 te Neck bij Purmerend xx Krommenie 5-3-1628 Ytje Symons weduwe. [1]
B5. Pieter Pietersz * Krommenie 24-2-1636 + voor 1695 x Krommenie x 26-11-1656 Risje Willems * ? + voor 1669 [1]
C5. Sijmon Pietersz * Krommenie 29-8-1666 [2][1]
Dit is waarskynlik hierdie Sijmon wat in 1699 vanaf die skip Sion as die burger Simon Pieterse Ploij in die Kaap die Goeie Hoop aan wal stap. Hy trou 1696 met Adriaantjie (van en ouers onbekend) , by wie hy een seun het nl. b1 Pieter Simon * Nederland 1697 + 31-8-1767. Simon trou weer 22-9-1715 met Catharina Coopman * Kaap of Nederland 1685 en die twee se kinders was as volg [1]:
b2 Willem = Stellenbosch 5-1-1716
b3 Michiel = Stellenbosch 31-3-1717
b4 Maria = Stellenbosch 11-8-1720
b5 Adriana = Stellenbosch 5-9-1723
As burger was hy landbouer of boer eers waar Grootte Schuur vandag geleë is en later naby Stellenbosch en de Hofstede Cromme Rhee groot 13 morgen 46 roeden word op Woensdag 11-2-1733 kort voor sy dood aan hom toegeken. [1]
Voor Simon was die eienaar Hans Melchior en na Simon se oorlye het dit die eiendom van Arnoldus Maasdorp geword. En in 1816 het die plaas aan Voortrekker leier, Piet Retief behoort. [3]
Volgens opgaafrolle van die tyd was sy besittings in 1731 die volgende: 4 Slawe, 1 Slavin, 20 Perde, 40 beeste, 200 skape, 5000 wingerstokke, 6 lêer wyn, 30 mud koring, 50 mud gars, 1 snaphaan, swaard en pistool. [1]
Simon is tussen 11-2-1733 en 11- 9-1733 oorlede en word deur Catharina oorleef. Op sy boedelinventaris vind ons dat sy seun uit eerste huwelik reeds sy naam skryf as Pieter Simons de Plooy – waarskynlik onder die invloed van die Franse Hugenote. [1]
Simon se drie seuns [1]:
b1 Pieter Simon is ongetroud oorlede en het nie ‘n nageslag nagelaat nie. [1]
b2 Willem se 2 seuns het eweeens geen nageslag gehad nie. [1]
b3 Michiel had 5 seuns maar slegs 2 het nageslagte nagelaat waaruit al die du Plooy nakomelinge spruit. [1][4]

    • South Africa's Stamouers (http://www.stamouers.com/index.php/stamouers/d-g/148-du-plooy-simon) Many South Africans whose ancestors lived at the Cape are part of one big extended family. The custom of referring to seniors as "oom" or "tannie" is not just out of respect but in deed reflect the reality of the close familial bond and the small collective genetic pool. South African Stamouers / Progenitors came from Africa, Europe, Asia and other places. Some were VOC workers, free settlers, Huguenot, Slaves and Indigenous. During 2014 in conjunction with the 10th birthday of the eGGSA webpage a competition was launched for submissions of new Stamouers/Progenitors data for addition to this webpage. The decision was made to now include any Stamouer/Progenitor with a male descendant-line to the web page. If you would like to help with the 'development' of this new extended Stamouers/Progenitors web page please submit your article, here are some submission guidelines. Submissions whether English or Afrikaans, will be placed on the web page in the language of submission. Any corrections or additional data on posted 'Stamouers/Progenitors' articles are welcomed.

    • "De Villiers & Parma" states that Simon du Plooy .. originally Simon Plooij... was an Immigrant from Krommenie, North Holland. in 1714. He could have arrived there earlier (at Krommenie) from Soest, Brandenburg- before emigrating to South Africa in 1714. (His name is written down in "Die Kaapse Resolusies", when he got permission to increase the size of his farm, near Stellenbosch, called "Kromme Rhee".)

Plooijer-1 and Plooij-11 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate - SV/PROG of the du Plooy family. Wives (Koopman/Coopman) have also been duplicated.

Du Plooy-248 and Plooijer-1 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. We take the earliest known primary record (mostly baptism record - exact spelling!) as spelling for each individual WikiTree profile (WIkiTree policy). I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!

Du Plooy-76 and Plooijer-1 appear to represent the same person because: Although place of birth differs this is a duplicate. I could find only one Simon du Plooy in Cape of Good Hope in 1699 (arrival date) and Pieter Simon * Nederland 1697 + 31-8-1767. (son of Simon * 1666) Thanks R

Du Plooy-76 and Plooijer-1 are not ready to be merged because: Esme

Not so sure..... one was born in Stellenbosch and the other in the Neterlands Let me look into the matter and get back to you. It seems like a duplicate but can also be a wishful linking. Not as clued up with this family as I should be Thanks R
