Sara Cochet appears to have arrived from Walcheren/ Oost Soutberg in Zeeland on the Oosterland on 25 April 1688 together with (or as the widow of) Pieter/Pierre le Clercq (with whom Coertzen says she had a son, Abraham le Clercq - who comes with her). Less than a month later - on the 16 May 1688 - she marries Guillaume du Toit? They had three daughters. Did Pierre die on the ship, perhaps? - Sharon]

Sara Cochet went to South Africa as a widow with Guillaume du Toit according to SAG volume 4 page 306
[Guillaume, however, arrives before her in 1686, on the ship Vrijheijt, and comes from Lille (in Flandres) so the 'together with' option seems unlikely - Sharon]
Coertzen tells us that also arriving on the Oosterland in 1688 from Zeeland with her are:
[Does this mean Sara came with her 3 small / or not so small children? - Sharon]
[Is this Marie, perhaps Sara Cochet's sister-in-law with whom she emigrates as a widow / or finding herself a widow on the trip?]
