Notes about Thomas Andreas `Andries` Dreyer c1d1

 In 1815 a historical episode took place:|At the Slagtersnek Rebellion in 1815, several farmers in the Eastern Cape were executed by hanging as having participated in that rebellion against British rule. The two Dreyer brothers Thomas Andreas and Christiaan Lourens were amongst the accused at the trial. Their sentences were, however, not harsh and they were acquitted. This happened during the rule of Governer Lord Charles Somerset.||It would be fair to suggest that this happening was influential in their ultimate decision to embark on their trek to the Transvaal and Orange Free State in the 1830's, in order to, inter-alia, escape British rule.||Maria Prinsloo was ’n suster van Hendrik Prinsloo wat by Slagtersnek tereggestel is. Thomas Andreas en sy broer Christiaan Laurens d3 neem ook deel and die Slagtersnek-opstand maar word slegs lig gevonnis. Weens sy deelname aan die opstand is hy in die tronk op Uitenhage toe sy oudste seun Thomas Frederik gebore word. Saam met hom in die tronk was Theunis Christiaan de Klerk wat toe reeds ter dood veroordeel was.Ds TJ Herold van george het die gevangenes kom besoek en op 3 Maart 1816 die twee seuns Thomas Frederik Dreyer en Theunis Christiaan de Klerk (jr) gedoop, ses dae voor Theunis de Klerk sr se teregstelling. Die doopinskrywing van die twee seuntjies is in george se doopboek aangeteken aangesein Uitenhage toe nog nie ’n leraar gehad het nie. As straf moes Thomas Andries die teregstelling ses dae na die doop bywoon. Hierdie agtergrond dra waarskynlik by tot Thomas Andreas se besluit om in 1830s te trek na Transvaal en Vrystaat.
