Notes: The children are given as found in the Inventory and Deceased Estate Accounts of their mother, dated May 1755.

In the above accounts are listed various properties. The farm Drogevalij in the Paardeberg would seem, from the furnishings, to have been their main home, but they also had a well furnished house in the Table Valley of Cape Town, and five other farms: Voorspoed in Riebeek Casteel, Bruijntjes Rivier at Klipheuvel, Keurbooms Rivier in that area, Vette Rivier situated on that river and another called Vette Rivier not far from the first. They also owned a grave plot or vault ('een grafsteede) in the church at Swartland.

The inventory of the estate suggest they were very comfortably off, with two slaves in the Cape Town house and 32 slaves on the farms, a quantity of gold and silver objects, a total of 305 cattle, 2000 sheep and 36 horses.

The house at the Cape and that at Drogevallij both consisted of a Voorhuis (main room) with a room on each side and a kitchen, but the farmhouse had also a Corn store, a workshop, a cellar, a stable and a yard.

The farm Drooge Valliej was bought from the deceased estate of Maria van der Westhuisen for 5000 gulden, 23 Nov. 1734.
