Henri Jacob van Lelyveld, South African Ancestor, eldest son and second child of Jan van Lelyveld and his wife Geertruida Cornelia Clignet was born 17 Oct 1784 at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands, and died on 14 Dec 1822 at Uitenhage, Cape, South Africa. He was confirmed in the Waalsch Gemeente te Amsterdam on 28 May 1805 before his departure for the Colony of The Cape of Good Hope. He arrived in the Colony 24 Apr 1806 aboard the Brig "Fortuna", which sailed from Wismar the 24 Nov 1805, bound for Batavia [present-day Jakarta]. Captain T. Prham, with a cargo of piece goods and fifteen passengers, arriving shortly after the second British annexation, in January 1806. Soon after his arrival he applied for a residential permit. He also applied for a position as a school teacher. On examination he was found to be the only one of 12 applicants sufficiently proficient in English to teach the language. He only had four pupils in his class. Later he resigned saying he was not a fit teacher for little children. He later became messenger and translator in the Magistrates court. He married Hester Adriana TerrBlanche, age 16. He also became Postmaster. He by 1822 was now drinking heavily and was later to become quite incapable of carrying out his duties. A letter received by Mr T. Beck on 28 May 1822: "I regret that the conduct of the District Messenger, Mr. Lelyveld is such from Drunkenship as to compel me to solicit his being replaced, on which subject I have written to the Colonial Secretary." The next letter dated 16 Dec 1822:Dear Sir: I have the Honour to report to you that Mr. Lelyveld, District Messenger and Postmaster was found dead supposed suffocated in a small drain (through which the water passes for watering some of the plots) just above the Bridge near the present Church in the Main Street of the village on Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. From the information I can collect it appears that he was found by two Hottentots lying on some timbers between two houses in one of the side streets on the proceeding evening between 8 and 9 o'clock so drunk as not to be able to speak. They lifted him up and one on each side supported him to George Smith's who kept a lodging house near where he was found. Smith assisted by the two Hottentots laid him on the bed, and that between 11 and 12 o'clock when Smith's family wished to go to bed, wakened Lelyveld and said it was time for him to go home that he, Lelyveld got up as Smith says, was so sober as to walk quite well, and that about two thirds of the way from Smith's is 150 paces to his own house. He missed the bridge on which there is a breastwork of three feet high and fell into the drain on the upper side of this where he was found lying on his face apparently smothered in mud and water. An inquest has been held on his body, he has left a wife and five children, and the widow pregnant with the sixth. (It turned out to be twins, so it was 7 not six). TOTALLY DESTITUTE OF SUPPORT.Excerpt from "Letter concerning Henri Jacob Van Lelyveld"
