Notes par Marthinus van der Spuy b6

 

Marthinus (b6), the sixth child of Melt and Maria, was born in 1727, and was christened on 18 May 1727. Marthinus was 13 years old when his mother remarried Wieser in 1740. He died on 10 January 1790. 

 

On 11 June 1750 Marthinus (b6) purchased De Klipheuvel aan de Mosselbank Rivier, a 60 morgen farm which after 34 years, he sold to his son Melt (c2). 

 

Three years after he acquired his farm, Marthinus married Petronella Steen on 10 March 1753. She died on 21 January 1770 and was survived by her husbandfor twenty years. Marthinus left two Wills, one dated 20 October 1759, and another dated 19 March 1779. In the first Will he is referred to as den Landbouwer. 

 

A further indication of Marthinus’s farming activities, and his lifestyle, is recorded in Alys F. Trotter’s book “ Old Cape Colony”, in which she refers to a 1772 journey by the Swedish naturalist Spaarman, én Route to Paarl. Spaarman records: “October 1772. At three o’clock in the afternoon I arrived at the house of a farmer named van der Spuy. He was a widower and born in Africa, and a brother of Jacobus van der Spuy, the owner of Groot Constantia. Without appearing to see me, he remained motionless in the passage that leads into the house. When I was near to him he did not take even one step towards me, but took my hand and greeted me with the words ‘Good day, you are welcome, how are you? Would you like some wine, or a pipe of tobacco, or would you like anything to eat?’ His daughter, young, well made, and with a pleasing manner, put on the table a magnificent breast of lamb stew, garnished with carrots. After the meal she offered me tea in such an attractive manner that I hardly knew which was preferable, the dinner or my young hostess. Consideration and goodness of heart was plain to see on the father and in the bearing of both father and daughter” 

 

Marthinus van der Spuy’s second child, a son Melt (c2), was born in Cape Town on 03 July 1756. He died on 06 November 1825. He was the first van der Spuy to own the farm Klein Olifantskop, which was acquired from Jacob Eksteen on 11 January 1787. Olifantskop was (is) situated about 50 Km north of Cape Town in an area known as Koeberg.
