I was reading through the muster rolls at the Cape, and I found something interesting regarding this, which seems to suggest they did only have 1 son, but had more than one daughter (meaning Maria was not their last child).
1693
Abraham Hartog V: Maria Bellardy 0 sons 0 daughters
1695
Abraham Hertogh & vrouw Maria Bellardie 0 sons 0 daughters
1697
Abram Hartogh en vrouw Maria Bellardie 0 sons 0 daughters
1698 (first and only mention of children)
Abraham Hartog vrouw: Maria Bellarie 1 son 2 daughters
1701 (Maria no longer mentioned, maybe dead)
Abraham Hartog 0 sons 0 daughters
What are the implications of this? Should Margaretha Hartog's putative parentage be reconsidered?
