Doopdatum: 26 januari 1738 Doopplaats: Tulbach Engela Helena van Niekerk born circa January 1738 1 baptized 16 January 1738 2 died circa 1820 3 will dated 9 April 1774 Notes: I have assumed that the Engela Helena van Niekerken who married Alewijn Smit in 1756, is the same person as the daughter of Johannes van Nieuwkerken and Engela Plooij. I have based my assumption on the fact that the witnesses at the baptisms of three of her children, Hendrik Jacobus, Johannes Cornelis and Helena Alberta where each of Engela Helena's two brothers and one sister are baptismal witnesses along with their spouses. It was usual for such witnesses to be close family members, most often the grandparents (but both Engela Helena's parents were dead by this time) and brothers and sisters of the parents or of the baptised child. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------children of Engela Helena van Niekerk and Alewijn Smit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elizabeth Smit 6 born 1757 born 1757 7 baptized 25 September 1757, Swartland 8 married Stephanus Christiaan Smit 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engela Helena Smit 1758-before 1820 born 11 November 1758 baptized 24 December 1758, Swartland died before July 1820 married Willem Myburgh 10 born before 1820 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacobus Hendrik Smit 1760-1834 born 18 March 1760 baptized 6 April 1760, Swartland died 9 February 1834, at Kleinevaley, District of Stellenbosch married 11 April 1784 Swartland Margaretha Wilhelmina Louw 11 1766-1843 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maria Margrita Smit 12 born 1761 born 27 December 1761 13 baptized 31 January 1762, Swartland 14 married Albert Myburgh 15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frans Smit born 1763 born 14 May 1763 16 baptized 26 June 1763, Swartland 17 Notes: baptized Francois, called Frans in his mother's Estate Distribution Accounts, 1820. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Johannes Cornelis Smit born 1765 born 18 September 1765 18 baptized 13 October 1765, Swartland 19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adriana Beatrix Smit 20 born 1767 born 14 September 1767 21 baptized 18 October 1767, Swartland 22 Notes: baptized as Adriana Hendrina, but called Adriana Beatrix in her mother's Estate Distribution Accounts, 1820. married Maarten Smit 23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aletta Catharina Smit 1769-before 1820 born 30 July 1769 baptized 17 September 1769, Swartland died before July 1820 married Hendrik Mostert 24 died before 1820 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Huijbregtje Smit born 1772 baptized 4 October 1772, Swartland 25 Notes: She is not mentioned in her mother's Estate Distribution Accounts of 1820 so presumably she had already died without leaving any heirs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helena Alberta Smit 1775-before 1820 born 14 September 1775 baptized 22 October 1775, Swartland died before July 1820 married Theunis Carstens 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katarina Johanna Smit 1777-before 1820 born 31 May 1777 baptized 3 August 1777, Swartland died before July 1820 married Nicolaas Everhardus Lambrechts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicolaas Albertus Smit born 1778 born 24 December 1778 27 baptized 17 January 1779, Swartland 28
