Ariaentjie Jacobs was een van 8 weesmeisies wat op die Skip Berg China na die Kaap gekom het. Sy was gedoop in die Gereformeerde Kerk in Rotterdam op 25 Desember 1670. Haar vader was Jacob die seun van Abraham en haar moeder was Heiltjie die dogter van Arie. Sy was 18 jaar oud toe sy van die Gereformeerde Burgerweeshuis in Rotterdam na die Kaap gekom het.

Johan van Deventer se navorsing meld dat, "Adriana Jacobs, dogter van Jacob Abrahamse en Heiltje Arijens, is gedoop te Rotterdam in Nederland op 25 Mei 1673. Haar ouer suster Ariaentje wat vroeer algemeen aangegee is as ons stammoeder, sterf op 2-jarige ouderdom en word op 16 November 1672 te Rotterdam begrawe. Op die ouderdom van 5 maande sterf Adriana se vader en op 8-jarige ouderdom sterf haar moeder. Sy word wees gelaat, met die adres Geertruidenberg wat sommer net "den Berg" genoem is. Sy beland in die Gereformeerde Burgerweeshuis in die Goudse Wagenstraat in Rotterdam, Nederland, en word die verkleinwoord Arijantgen of ook sommer Adriaantje genoem. In 1687 besluit die Here Sewentien om weesmeisies van die Rotterdamse weeshuis na die Kaap te stuur as vrouens vir die vryburgers. Saam met sewe ander weesmeisies vertrek sy op Saterdag 20 Maart 1688 vanuit Goere in Holland met die skip "Berg China" en arriveer in die Kaap op Woensdag 4 Augustus 1688."

Adiana (ook soms genoem Arriaenje) was 'n Amsterdamse weeskind. Sy het nog in 1728 geleef.

Ariaantjie was one of eight orphans that arrived on the Dutch ship "Berg China". She was born on or around the 25th December 1670, and was the daughter of Jakob Abrahamse and Heyltjie Ariens. Her was known as Jakob the son of Abraham and her mother was Heyltjie the daughter of Arie.

She was 18 years old when she left the Gereformeerde Burgersweeshuis (Orphanage) in Rotterdam to go to the Cape. Her father died when she was five months old and her mother died when she was eight.

The Councuil of seventeen(Heeren Sewentien) decided that the male settlers at the Cape needed wives, thus they decided to bring orphan girls to the Cape, giving them opportunity for a better life and resolving the problem of lack of female population.

She was married virtually immediately on arriving at the Cape.
