==The children and grandchildren of [http://www.geni.com/people/Andre-Gauch/4116896511890061870 André Gauch] and [http://www.geni.com/people/Jannetje-de-Clercq/6000000001634109360 Johanna de Clercq]:==
b3 [http://www.geni.com/people/Pieter-Gouws/4116980057710031456 Pieter Gous], born circa 1692-1693 at the Cape, died circa 1730 farmer of De Doorn Rivier, over 't Roode Sand x [http://www.geni.com/people/Anna-Oosthuizen/6000000003169387991?through=4116980057710031456 Anna Oosthuisen] 4 May 1721 Stellenbosch ( born at the Cape, died circa December 1745 (date of inventory) she married secondly Gerrit van Emmenes, 1 April 1731, Drakenstein. De Villiers / Pama and SAG both list what appears to be a spurious daughter named Anna for this couple, but I have been unable to find any evidence of her existence. So far as I can establish there were only the following four children:
>b3.c1 [http://www.geni.com/people/Johanna-Gouws/6000000001634228834 Johanna Gous], baptised 25 April 1723 Drakenstein, died circa July 1794 x[http://www.geni.com/people/Matthys-Strydom/6000000001634221034?through=6000000001634228834 Matthijs Strijdom] 11 October 1739 Drakenstein farmer, died before 1758 xx [http://www.geni.com/people/Ockert-Brits/6000000001634141150?through=6000000001634228834 Ockert Brits] 16 April 1758 Drakenstein .She had children with both husbands.
>b3.c2 [http://www.geni.com/people/Dorothea-Botha/6000000001634188833 Dorothea Gous], baptised 26 November 1724 Stellenbosch according to SAG she married [http://www.geni.com/people/Willem-Botha-b2c4d1/6000000001634188840?through=6000000001634188833 Willem Botha] (Tulbagh, VC 664, marriages, page 18, 23 May 1762) and they had four children.
>b3.c3 [http://www.geni.com/people/Pieter-Gouws/6000000003306432704 Pieter Gous], baptised 6 July 1727 Drakenstein of De Voorbaad, situated at the Swarteberg x [http://www.geni.com/people/Magdalena-Brits/6000000003306607261?through=6000000003306432704 Magdalena Brits] 5 November 1752 Tulbagh I found no evidence from wills or other documents that the Pieter Gous baptised 1727 was the husband of Magdalena Brits, so I checked out the baptisms of their all their children for the clues provided by baptismal witnesses. The witnesses at the baptism of their first child were Johanna Gous and Matthijs Strijdom, the sister and brother-in-law of the Pieter Gous who was born 1727 to Pieter Gous and Anna Oosthuijsen; those of the second child were Johannes Oosthuijsen and Anna Botha, brother of Anna Oosthuijsen and his wife, uncle and Aunt of the Pieter Gous born 1727; those of the third child were Dorothea Gous and Ockert Brits, she the sister of the Pieter Gous born 1727 and the second husband of Johanna Gous, sister of Pieter Gous born 1727. It seems pretty certain to me, therefore, that this is a correct identification. Beyond their baptisms, I have not investigated their children.
>b3.c4 [http://www.geni.com/people/Sara-Gouws/6000000003307300278 Sara Gous], baptised 21 August 1729 Cape Town according to the SAG, vol 2, page 494, she married [http://www.geni.com/people/Willem-Goosen/6000000005776572111 Willem Goosen] (Cape Town marriage register, VC 621, page 59, 31st August 1749) and they had eight children.
b4 [http://www.geni.com/people/Sara-Gous/4116987606600071571 Sara Gous], born circa 1694 or 1695, died circa December 1722 x http://www.geni.com/people/Christian-Gobrechts/6000000001634145485 [Christiaan Gobrechts], farmer, died circa 1731 (date of inventory) they had just the one child, [http://www.geni.com/people/Andries-Gobrechts/6000000001634145471?through=6000000001634145485 Andries Gobrechts], born circa September 1722
b5 [http://www.geni.com/people/Johanna-Gous/4116999907260024352 Johanna Gous], baptised 25 September 1695 Drakenstein, died before June 1698
b6 [http://www.geni.com/people/Andries-Gous/6000000001634141765 Andries Gous], born circa May 1698, died circa June 1735 farmer of De Melkhouteboom, on the Duijvenhoks River x [http://www.geni.com/people/Johanna-Conterman/6000000003355970359?through=6000000001634141765 Johanna Conterman] 14 May 1719 Drakenstein she married secondly Jan La Grange, circa 1735 or 1736 (there are no entries for this period in the Drakenstein marriage registers).
>b6.c1 [http://www.geni.com/people/Pieter-Gous/6000000015071764325 Pieter Gous], born circa 1719, died 18 January 1790 Waveren x [http://www.geni.com/people/Aletta-Vorster/6000000003593144684?through=6000000015071764325 Aletta Vorster] 25 November 1742 Drakenstein born circa 1722 at the Cape, and died 20 July 1798 Waveren Please see the article mentioned earlier in the introduction to this family tree for my reasoning in allocating this family to this point of the tree, which I consider their correct location. Their children, so far as I can see, are exactly as laid out in SAG and De Villiers / Pama.
>b6.c2 [http://www.geni.com/people/Andries-Gous/6000000011641110107 Andries Gous], baptised 5 January 1721 Drakenstein x [http://www.geni.com/people/Anna-Magdalena-Vosloo/6000000001634165065?through=6000000011641110107 Anna Magdalena Vosloo] 9 September 1742 Drakenstein
>>b6.c2d1 [http://www.geni.com/people/Andries-Gous-b6c1d2/6000000014496363001 Andries Gous], baptised 16 December 1744 Tulbagh
>>b6.c2d2 [http://www.geni.com/people/Johannes-Stephanus-Gous/6000000014496300232 Johannes Stephanus Gous], baptised 31 March 1748 Stellenbosch The NAAIRS online index suggests (but I have not seen the documents concerned) that he died circa 1792 and that his wife, [http://www.geni.com/people/Anna-Magdalena-Vosloo/6000000001634165065?through=6000000014496300232 Anna Magdalena Vosloo] died circa 1810 (MOOC 7/1/37, 24 and MOOC 7/1/59, 62). The Cape Death Notifications (MOOC 6, volume2, page 49) lists her death under the district of Swellendam during the year 1794, no date attached.
>b6.c3 [http://www.geni.com/people/Barend-Gous/6000000014496288673 Barend Gous], baptised 25 April 1723 Drakenstein, died circa January 1741
>b6.c4 [http://www.geni.com/people/Johanna-Gouws/6000000001634228932 Johanna Gous], baptised 8 July 1725 Cape Town x [http://www.geni.com/people/Wessel-Pretorius/4060066250820070589 Wessel Pretorius], farmer of Hollebak, over the Duijvenhoxrivier died circa 1752 (date of inventory) xx [http://www.geni.com/people/Johannes-Vosloo/6000000001634162996?through=6000000001634228932 Jan Vosloo] 26 November 1752 Stellenbosch died circa 1756 (date of inventory) xxx [http://www.geni.com/people/Johannes-Laas/6000000010410030621?through=6000000001634228932 Jan Lasch] 15 October 1769 Tulbagh. She appears to have had children by all three husbands.
>b6.c5 [http://www.geni.com/people/Sara-Gous/6000000000234137289 Sara Gous], born circa 1727 at the Cape, died circa 1797 x [http://www.geni.com/people/Nicolaas-de-Bruyn/6000000000269725818?through=6000000000234137289 Claas de Bruijn] 9 March 1745 Tulbagh born at the Cape, died before 1797 They appear to have had no children.
>'''b6.c6''' [http://www.geni.com/people/Stephanus-Johannes-Paulus-Gouws/4116771839360058992 '''Stephanus Gous'''], baptised 25 September 1729 Cape Town of De Elands Valleij, at the Swarte Berg x [http://www.geni.com/people/Catharina-Hubner/4116771859470023177 '''Catharina Huppenaar'''] 16 June 1756 Cape Town (see ****** below) baptised 2 September 1736 at Drakenstein, Father: Frederik Huppenaar Mother: Catharina Hofman .We have seen earlier that it could not have been Stephanus Gous, the son of Steven Gous (b1c1), who married Catharina Huppenaar, as averred by SAG and De Villiers / Pama, since he did not survive (or leave surviving heirs) to be named as an heir in his mother’s will of 1759, having most probably died as an infant. We have also seen that Steven Gous (b1) died around 1758 and was survived by his wife, Catharina Bok, so that he could not have been Catharina Huppenaar’s husband. This leaves as the only other candidate Stephanus Gous (b6.c6). I have, in addition, checked the baptismal witnesses for his first two children (I have not been able to examine details of the baptisms of his later children as I do not currently have access for the appropriate dates to the registers where they were presumably recorded, possibly Cape Town or Drakenstein). The witnesses recorded were; for the first child, Andries, baptised 7 November 1756 at Tulbagh, Johanna Conterman and Jan le Grange, the child's paternal grandmother with her second husband; for the second child, Catharina, baptised 17 December 1758 at Tulbagh, Catharina Hofman and Willem Landman, maternal grandmother of the child with her second husband. Again, this is slim evidence, but I believe that mine is the correct interpretation. SAG lists a good number of other children as well but I have not investigated them.'''
