A SECONDARY ACCOUNT THAT WALKS THIS PROJECT'S OWN LINE without knowing it. SECONDARY, and treated as such: a wine-history column is not an archive, and the records behind it - the baptism register, the marriage entry, the manumission, the 1713 court case - are what would settle any of it. WHAT IT GIVES THAT THIS PROJECT DID NOT HAVE: Catharina van Malabar reached the Cape via Batavia in 1662, was baptised as a 36-year-old on 29 October 1673, and was MANUMITTED before 15 March 1676, the day she married Cornelis Claasen. Her daughter CORNELIA was baptised 18 November 1674, BEFORE the manumission, so Cornelia was born into slavery. Cornelia married Abraham Bastiaansz Pijl of Groenerivier, the Helderberg farm that is Alto and Webersburg today, and their daughter Catharina Bastijaans Pyl (PER-000768) carries the line into the Brits and then the Oosthuizens. The article also reports Pijl's suicide in September 1703 and a 1713 wine-theft trial involving the family. [TO VERIFY] on every point: nothing in it has been read against an original here, and the piece itself flags one detail as contested. The MANUMISSION DATE is the load-bearing claim and is the one worth ordering the record for.
Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
