Has anybody got more information on this apparently conflicting situation??:
SAF cd 14 states:
Hans Harms ............................................
b1 Cornelia ≈ 2.7.1741
.
b7 Engela ≈ 10.9.1752
(L.W.: Aletta (b8) in De Villiers/Pama, is d.v. Jan Harmsz POTGIETER. Sy x Paarl 8.2.1733
Dirk BOOYSEN)
SAG vol 8 lists only 5 children in the period when Aletta could have been born
b1 Johannes (Jan Harmensz) (POTGIETER)
c1 Johanna ≈ Swellendam 3.4.1704 † c. 1714
c2 Elisabeth ≈ Swellendam 16.3.1709 (
c3 Isabella ≈ Swellendam 28.11/6.1711
Tweede huwelik
c4 Hester ≈ 23.2.1716
c5 Emerentia * Stellenbosch 20.10.1719
c6 Johannes ≈ 1.3.1722,
I found this today on a Booysen website to further to suspense:
http://www.booysen.org/phpgedview/individual.php?pid=I0161&ged=...
The is doubt about the parents of ALETTA HARMENS, who married DIRK BOOYSEN of Drakenstein (2nd son of Boy Booysen, the progenitor of the Booysen family in South Africa) on 8 Feb. 1733 (Cape) - family listed in De Villiers Pa ma, vol. 1, p. 68, sub b2.
Dr J.A. Heese was of the opinion that she was a daughter of JAN (Johannes) HARMENSZ POTGIETER (1674-?).
If this is true then was Aletta a daughter of Potgieter's first wife CLARA HERBST (married 1702), or of his second wife MARIA CATHARINE VAN EEDEN (married 1714)? Heese apparently favoured the latter. Aletta did have a daughter called Maria and two of her children married van Eedens.
