Biographical: The 1999 edition of SAG (Vol 5, f14 on p.314) has this Abraham entered as 'NN', an error possibly caused by the compilers (mistaken) belief at the time that there simply couldn't have been two Abraham VAN WYKs married to M J P LOUW in succession.
 
Biographical: His death notice records his having been born on the 'plaats Brakrivier', that he'd died at the age of 30y 9m 23d (which translates to a date of birth of 1/8/1814, not as on the baptismal register 2/9/1814.
 
Biographical: According to several sources he'd died on Stuurmansfontein. The only place with such a name is a farm, the turnoff to which will be found road-signed about 30 km from Carnarvon travelling towards Williston. A death notice entry gave his age at death as 30 years, 9 months and 23 days, but this doesn't tie up with the date entered on his birth register. Working forwards from his date of birth (*2/9/1814) and the recorded age at death brings us to 25/6/1845, not 24/5/1845 but I've accepted the latter. He left, according to this death notice which was signed by his widow; one son, Abraham, 'onmondig'.
 
Biographical: His sibling Willem (*10/9/1815) was baptised on the same day. Witnesses included his paternal grandparents Abraham VAN WYK and Anna Glaudina JOOSTE, also his aunt Anna Fransina (sic) VAN WYK and five others, the ceremony having been conducted 'Onder den Feldcornet Abraham van Wijk, Midden Roggeveld'. Those listed for his brother Willem included Willem LOUW, Hester Josina PIENAAR, Anna Francina VAN WYK and Jacobus LOUW
 
Biographical: On his death notice appeared his occupation, 'Vhee Vokker' (sic) -- the Dutch word 'veefokker' translating to 'stock breeder'. One of the entries found in the 'Opgaafrol' (tax returns register) for 1833 prepared for the field cornetcy of Hantam in the magisterial district of Clanwilliam records the payment of 17s 11d in respect of tax. His livestock return shows him to have been the owner of 2301 goats and sheep, 25 cattle and 32 horses.
