Notes par Thomas Frederick Dreyer b4

 

Reeds voor sy troue, in 1761, koop Thomas Frederik die eiendom “Ekelenberg aan Rondebosch 36 morgen 280 sq.rds.” van Johanna Swellengrebel. Oor die jare gaan hy voort om daaraan toe te voeg, en teen die tyd dat Anders Sparrman dit besoek in 1775 (A Voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, towards the Antarctic Polar Circle, round the world and to the Country of the Hottentots and the Caffres, from the Year 1772–1776, ed. V. S. Forbes, 2 vols. [Cape Town: Van Riebeeck Society, 1975]. 1: 82n209), was Ekelenberg ’n aansienlike eiendom (details ibid.). Diearea is later erg onderverdeel; in 1873 koop ene George Bailey a stuk eiendom in Nuweland van ‘n Dreyer, moontlik een van die eiendomme wat gekonsolideer is om “Bailey’s Strawberry Farm” te vorm.

 

 

Dis ook heelwaarskynlik sy weduwee  wat weidingsregte aan toegese in 1787 is by die buitepos " Jan Biesjies Kraal" vandag Milnerton

 

 

 

 

 

Vanaf 1801/2 het hy geboer op die plaas Alphen, vernoem na ‘n VOCskip, wat in daardie tyd saam met ‘n susterskip, die Constantia, in Tafelbaai-hawe voor anker was. Hier het hy perde geteel en wyndruiwe verbou. Ook die opstal gebou? Dit is te verwagte dat hy baie mense in diens sou gehad het.So noem Peter Philip In British Residents at the Cape 1795-1819 byvoorbeeld ’n Caleb Arding wat uit die Kaapse regiment ontslaan is en in 1819 op Alphen in diens van TF Dreyer was. Dr James Barry was ‘n gereelde gas op die plaas. Manie Dreyer (korrespondensie) vertel die volgende:

The history of Alphen dates back to the early 18th century,when five morgen and 200 square roods of garden land were granted to one Theunis van Schalkwyk by the VOC. Over the next 50 years, more land was added until, in 1765, it was consolidated into a single property some 16 morgen in extent, under the ownership of Johannes Kirsten. In 1780, it became the property of Focke Hendricks, passing to his sister Elizabeth and her third husband Pieter de Waal in 1793. After their deaths in 1802, Alphen became the property of the Dreyer family and the estate grew to some 300 morgen.

Hendrik Oostwald Dreyer (???) lost the estate to his brother-in-law Johannes Albertus Munnik in 1850; Munnik in turn sold it to Dirk Cloete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cloetes bought it from the Dreyer family. (They were related to the Eksteens). One of the Dreyer daughters was said to be attractive and one day she had two visitors, Captain Josias Cloete and a small redheaded army doctor, James Barry. Barry had a fiery temper and challenged Cloete to a pistol duel supposedly because he was paying too much attention to Miss Dreyer. Both missed, probably intentionally,as they were life-long friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As gesiene burger was TF Dreyer van Alphen baie prominent in die aksie saam met Martin Melck om ’n Lutherse kerk in Kaapstad opgerig te kry. So byvoorbeeld is daar in die argief opsommings van???, die volgende betoog:The undersigned, as representatives of the collective Members of the Augsburg Confession here, having received permission from you to open a subscription list among ourselves, for the augmentation of their already existing Fund, from which to support a Minister and other minor Church officials, with accompanying order, "as soon as the list was closed, to notify the resultto you," have now the honour to report:–Having obtained permission from the Governor, they called a Meeting of their fellow-believers on the 22nd of last month (December), in their church, whenthe subscription was readily effected by them and ourselves. The number of subscribers amounted to 303 persons, and the sum obtained to f68572, for which most of the subscribers have passed bonds, with interest at 6 p.c., whilst the rest at once paid their shares in cash, so that everything succeeded as desired, and even beyond our expectations. Having reported as above, they deem it also desirable to mention the items of which the funds of the Church collectively consist:–

The original Capital stood, at the last audit, at f24019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Received in bonds, cash, etc., for the new subscription f68572

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

692

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The value of the Church building, inspected by three of the Company's master-carpenters and masons, as well as of the adjoining erf (see annexed statement) f45500

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cost of an organ bought for Rds. 750, or f2250

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diverssilver ornaments for administering the Holy supper f1231

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cost of the chairs and pews, and other effects, partly bought, and partly presented to the Church, all valued at f1000

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total f142572

 

 

 

 

 

 

Memorialists would therefore point out that from the above statement it is evident that they and their brethren possess a church and erf and other effects, and that the Fund, at present in hand, will amply suffice for the maintenance of a Minister and other church officials, so that they once more, and most numbly, request you to represent their case in a favourable light to the Masters in the Fatherland. .
