Notes about Michiel du Plooy
Burger Stellenbosch. Michiel was 'n burger van Stellenbosch wat op 29-jarige ouderdom die binneland ingetrek het. In die jaar 1746 "Werd door deesen gepermitteerd aan een lande bouwer Michiel de Plooÿ omme voor den tyd van een geheele jaar met zijn vee te mogen gaan leggen en weyden aan de mond van den harte beeste revier geleegen aan de breede revier" [KAB Stellenbosch Nr 123]. Hierdie plek is naby Worcester geleë, omtrent 5 km Wes van die dorp gaan die pad na Kaapstad oor die Hartebeesrivier. Die naam van die gebied is nog De Mond.
Hierdie toestemming is gereeld hernu tot die jaar 1766. Hy het in 1746 1 slaaf, 1 perd, 22beeste en 120 skape gehad. Waarskynlik het De Mond sy eiendom geword. Die plaas De Mond het in die gebiedsafdeling van Tulbach (Land van Waveren) geval en al sy kinders is in die kerk aldaar gedoop.Die kerk, waaraan later aangebou is, word nou as 'n museum gebruik.'
