In 1729-1732 word daar in dokumente vermeld dat die Kompanie ingelig is dat Andreashom oor Jochem Scholtz en "n dogtertjie, Maria Roos (wat die buite-egtelike kind van die vrou van Jochem Scholtz was), ontferm het. Jochem Scholtz se vrou was indertyd oorlede en aangesien Scholtz "nkreupele en boonop arm was, kon hy nie behoorlik na die kind omsien nie. Die onbaatsugtige Bester het dus letterlik tot Scholtz en die dogtertjie (sy grootmaakkind) se redding gekom.
