The earliest mention of a Steenkamp in SA is on 14 Oct 1714 when Jan Steenkamp married Geesje(Gesina) Visser (born 1 Sep 1686) in Cape Town. They had 2 daughters and 2 sons. No information found on 2 sons, believed to have died early. This means Geesje(Gesina) was not the original Steenkamp Ancestor: She passed away 1719 or 1720, where upon Jan Harmenz Steenkamp re-married Jannetjie (Jannetje) van Eck on 19 May 1720 in Drakenstein (Paarl). They had 10 children.
Jan Harmensz owned the farm "Het Slot" in Paardberg district Drakenstein, date of ownership noted 4 April 1715. In most accounts only the name Jan Steenkamp was used, however in the Estate of Jannetjie van Eck he was referred to as Jan Harmensz Steenkamp.
Although country of origin was originaly thougth to be Nieukerk, (Belgium) it has been noted a spelling mistake for Nijkerk (Netherlands). It is noted in source and also in the geneology of the de Villiers families, that Jan Harmensz Steenkamp came from Nijkerk, Province Gelderland, Nerderland.
It is speculated that Jan Harmensz might be the descendant of one Peter Steinkampf, Minden, Germany, sibling of Frederik Steenkamp whom resided in Hoorn, however this has never been proven.
Jan Harmensz died c.1744. His widow, Jannetjie
re-married one Johann Heinrich Teutmann. They were both murdered, toghether with her daughter Anna from 1st marriage, on the border of the Roggeveld by Bushmen in 1772.
Steenkamp Family Flag / crest flags
There is much controversy regarding the true Steenkamp flag, however lately accepted that the blue and gold ship as referred to in the geneology of the Steenkamp families in the Netherlands is the accepted. Note the entry in the Steenkamp Family Tree of the Netherlands as follows:
"In blaauw een gouden zesberg waaruit drie groen gebladerde en gestengelde, roode roozen opkomen.
Helmteken: de roozen.
Dekkleeden: goud en blaauw.
Wapenspreuk: Res non verba"
Stamvader: Jan STEENKAMP hy was van Nieuwkerk, hy trou 14 Oktober 1714 met Gesina VISSER, XX 19 Mei 1720 Jannetje VAN ECK.

Die Steenkamps in Suid-Afrika kom 'n ver pad: daar is driehonderd jaar en tien geslagte tussen Jan Harmensz se geboorte in Europa en die van jongste Steenkamps in die twee takke wat ons hier volg. Langs die pad het hulle die gene-poel verryk met vrouens wat stam uit Holland, Duitsland, Swede, Denemarke, en Frankryk.
Verskeie Steenkamp-eggenotes was die dogters of kleindogters van stamvaders: op die manier is die Steenkamps dan ook verwant aan al die Krugers, die Griesels, die Swiegerse en so aan.
Trouens, die bevolking aan die Kaap was so klein in die vroee jare dat huwelike tussen kleinneefs en -niggies nie ongewoon was nie. Teen 1691 was daar net oor 'n duisend inwoners, plus ongeveer 400 slawe. Ons, hulle afstammelinge, kom uit 'n baie klein genetiese poel en is maar almal eintlik een groot familie. As ons ouer mense "Oom" en "Tannie" noem, is dit nie verniet nie!
Jan Harmensz STEENKAMP het in 1714 na die Kaap gekom van Nieuwkerk - dis nie duidelik of dit die Hollandse of Belgiese dorpie met die naam was nie. Die "Harmensz" deel van sy naam is 'n patroniem: voluit "Harmenszoon", menende dat hy die seun was van Harm.
He word eienaar van die plaas "Het Slot" in the Drakenstein Distrik, op 4 April 1715.
Hy moes voor 1747 gesterf het, want dit is wanneer sy tweede vrou hertrou het.
Jan and Gezina had vier kinders, die jongste 'n tweeling:
Jan Harmensz STEENKAMP had 14 kinders, die oudste vier by sy eerste vrou Gesina VISSER en nog tien by sy tweede vrou, Jannetje VAN ECK. Hulle het in die Drakenstein distrik gewoon.
