I visited Wadrif during october 2011. According to the mother (Maria (de Jongh) Louw) of the present owner of Wadrif, Mynardt Louw, the maiden name for Jan Bokkom's wife was Henrietta Louw and not Henrietta De Beer.

Andreas Smit

According to Henrietta’s grandson Johannes Hermanus Kotze Terblanche, her father Johannes Louw was sickly at the time of her christening, and Michiel de Beer her uncle took her to be christened and thus gave up his name as her father. How true this is one cannot say and as such her paternity is debatable, if Johannes Low was her father she would still have been born out of wed lock. We will however presume that the baptism records are correct and that she is a de Beer and not a Louw. - Michelle de Jager
