Ferdinandus Appel's first child is Theunis Botha, b bef 15 April 1686: Called Botha after his mother, Maria Kickers' , 1700 divorce from Jan Cornelisz (who is shown as his father on the birth certificate). At which time she said her 7 children were Frederich Botha's. However, a recent DNA study by the University of Pretoria - sampling Botha and Appel descendants - reveals him to have been the biological son of Ferdinandus Appel.
Ferdinandus Appel then marries in 1691, Lavina Cloete (1677), with whom he has Sophia Appel (1692), Juriaan Appel (1694), Johanna Appel (1701), Catharina Appel (1704), Maria Appel (1708) & Abigail Appel (1710)

Further Information on Jan Cornelisz and Maria Kickers
Jan Cornelisz (Bombam) of Outbeijerland was married July 11, 1683 to Maria Kickers. In the Stellenbosch Baptism Register Cornelija’s (baptized January 6, 1697) father is given as John Cornelis (Bombam), but the children were Botha's children.
In 1699 there was an argument between Mary and Bombam a property that had to be worked by Bombam but he has not done much. She scolded him:
“Jeij sult doen wat eck hebben wil, ieij zulkt voor mijn door een vuur gaan, en jeij zult mijn de voeten kussen als ek het heben wil" Bombam’s response was that he would not do it. Mary scolding him further:
“Jeij zult nagt en dach voor mijn loopen als eck het hebben wil, want ick hou jou minder als een knegt, ja minder als een Hottentot, ja minder als een hont". Someone else heard her say:
"that he [Old Beijerland] onbequaam was one man to her creature and haare children ie sijne not and waaren and that it him less agte like a slave, or a Hont" (Biewenga , p. 268)
Mary and Jan Cornelisz divorced January 22, 1700, and she mentioned to the court:
"De gedaagdesse antwoordende, segt en bekendt all hare kinderen staande huwelijck, niet bij den eij[se]r haren man; (vermits desselvs onbequaamheijdt) maar bij een ander, te weeten den voorn[oemde] Frederick Boot, te hebben geprocrëeert" [CJ 3, 22]
17 Nov 1706 Mary Kickers and Fredrich Botha was back in court because they lived together. They were banned to spend 10 years separately in Mauritius. On that occasion, Maria Kickers claimed:
"Sij persisteerde bij haare gedane confessie en sustineerde dat se met beloften en trouw die se malkanderen onder vier oogen geswooren hebben, so wel alsof se met den anderen in huwelijk waren getreeden kunnen volstaan, en dat se dierhalven als man en vrouw eenige jaren met den anderen hebben geleefd, en vleeschelijk geconverseert hebbende tesamen in deese boelasie agt kinderen geprocreeert,"
According to Karel Schoeman (author) in 1706, Botha and Maria Kickers were convicted of "adultery, harbour and concealment of cattle. Added to their conviction was violence to the person of Claas Das and sentenced for ten years separately exiled to Mauritius.
They most probably came back to the Cape when the VOC gave up Mauritius. In 1713, Jan Cornelisz from Outbeijerland died without remarrying and Maria Kickers was allowed to remarry: In the Stellenbosch registers, page 9: 1714, 21 Junij Fredrik Bota Wagenheim jongm Maria Kickers Amsterdam
Please note that the authors Pama and De Villiers records the wedding year 1717 but it is wrong, it should be 1714.
