28 May 1665 the new Commander of the Cape, Zacharias Wagenaar, commits the following33 to his Journal:“In the afternoon we heard from our chief surgeon that shortly before, the wife of the agriculturist Jacob Cloeten had died in the Lord. In her the poor man and his four little children have lost much. “

Hi all,

Her predicted haplogroup is J1c2c1

There is currently no DNA info listed for her on Geni, however a number of us with well researched genealogies that can trace our matrilineal descent to her have Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) tests done conducted through FTDNA. This was also documented by Delia on http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g5/p5324.htm, my results was predicted prior to the test to be J1c2c1 based on genealogy and it was confirmed by the mtDNA results.

I am more than willing to share my results (if I can work out how to transfer this from FTDNA) and it will be great if we can add it.

I will also contact the mtDNA project group with this request.

Sincerely,

Elmien Ballot
