Trijntjen Hillebrants

died circa 1695, (or was it 1693?)

Notes:

According to the inventory taken after her death she left two minor children (not named) - in a later Weeskamer document of 1712 these two children are named as Arij and Gerrit van Wijk.

That inventory was dated 10th March 1695 and one would assume that she died shortly before that date.

Up to 1692 what records I have seen mention her name her as Trijntje or Catharina Hillebrants. The 1693 give the name of the wife of Willem van Wijk as Trijntje Wijkens. Does this mean her full name was Trijntje Hillebrants Wijkens?

By 1695 Willem is recorded living with Tryntje Harmens, who continues in the Muster and Opgaaf records as his wife until she is recorded as his widow in 1702.

Note that Trijintje is possibly short for 'Cathrijntje'

  the widow of Gerrit van der Swaan,  

  and left 9 children when he died in 1731

b2. Jannetie, baptised Cape Town 13 June 1688

  She would seem to have died before 1695.

  He married firstly Elisabeth Vivier in 1722

  and secondly Maria Provo (Prevost) around 1731.

  He died around 1737, leaving 8 children.
