Notes about Hester Maria Louw

1 _UID 13A9A2B21859D61196A00000F687F8CEE120
{geni:about_me} She was one of the seven children of Jacobus Gideon Louw and Helena Anthonia Van Aarde.

It is not clear whether she moved with her father and mother to Oorlogskloof after 1784 (when her father also acquired the grazing rights to Matjesfontein, the neighbouring farm) or whether she was living in the Zwartland at the time of her marriage.

She married Daniel Jacobus Louw I in 1799, and the couple settled at Matjesfontein.

After the changes in land tenure (abolishing loan farms and substituting "perpetual quitrent" ownership) Daniel Jacobus Louw I applied for the registration of Matjesfontein. This was an extended business - the would-be owners had to buy the services of an official land surveyor and have diagrams verified before the farm could be registered in their names. In the case of Matjesfontein this took four years, two years too late for Daniel Jacobus Louw I who died in 1836 (MOOC6/9/9, 1882)

She had obviously had some education for it was she who penned the form for her husband's death certificate and initialled the settlement of his estate. In most of the contemporary death notices registered in the Clanwilliam and Calvinia districts it was apparent that they had been drawn up by lawyers and then the widows had laboriously printed their "signatures" in a very unschooled hand. Not Hester Maria. She wrote out the whole form in the approved way and lodged it with the lawyer within six days of her husband's death.

The couple had drawn up a joint will in May 1832 (MOOC7/1/138:72).

At some stage of her widowhood, Hester Maria must have moved to her brother's farm, Oorlogskloof, where she died in 1859. Death certificate MOOC6/9/87-6316)
