«/i» «b»Trijn Ras«/b», was an interesting figure at the Cape («i»see i.a«/i». C. Pretorius, "Trijn Ras", Historia 18(2), pg 93-96, 1973).. She apparently was of Danish extraction, arriving at the Cape out of Lubeck in the southern late summer of 1662 as a young widow (about 20 years old) on the ship «b»«i»'t Hoff van Zeelant«/b»«/i». That spring, on the 3«sup»rd«/sup» September 1662, she married Hans Ras, who nearly died in a knife fight with a wedding guest on their wedding day, but survived to father 4 children (including Maryna), before he was killed by a lion in 1671. She remarried on the 16«sup»th«/sup» April 1672, to Francoys Schanfellaar, from Ghent, but lost him the next year when he was killed by Hottentots. Laurens Cornelisz from Gottenburgh became her next husband on the 28«sup»th«/sup» October 1673, but after another 2 children were added to her household he disappeared in 1679 while hunting hippos, presumably trampled by elephants. Her «i»kneg«/i» (servant), Matthys Michiel, of Gluckstadt was the next husband, marrying her on 28«sup»th«/sup» January 1680. They had one daughter.
Among others the Baron van Rheede visited their farm, in 1685, and she made quite an impression on him, through her sporting a strong tan, with her hospitality in providing fresh bread and vegetables, and by her doing a dramatic horseback ride to the Cape on a quick errand. «b»Maryna Ras«/b», as a teen-ager, also met van Rheede at this time (C. Pretorius, "Trijn Ras", Historia 18(2), pg 93-96, 1973).
