Hester Johanna DE VILLIERS^[1]

1771 - 1807  (35 years)

• Name	Hester Johanna DE VILLIERS  [2]
  Born	13 Nov 1771
  Gender	Female
  Died	22 Mar 1807  [3, 4, 5, 6]
  Buried	Farm of Willem Morkel   [7]
  	According to the register she was to be buried on the farm of Willem Morkel. Another source mentions a grave in Somerset-Wes and a reference to a farm called "Roman", could it be "Rome" which was a farm of Morkel?
  Notes	GGSA Cemetary Recording News Vol8 No2: July 2010 Colleen Gerhan of Grootte Schuur Hospital sent in the following: Hi, I visited my brother yesterday and he has a grave next to his hous. Do you know about it? Inscription is in Dutch I think. I don't understand it all. Liefdes onser flyk aan nagedachtenis van de beste moeder Hester Johanna Joubert ( could be Iohanna Ioubert) nee De Villiers geboren den 3 November 1771 Oorlede den 22 Maart 1807 .......wyd kindern ( or wijd) ...Roeg wijd door kindern Joshua Andreas 6 Hester Suzanna Maria Johanna Joubert Do you have anything on her? I can't find it on the internet., Farm is called Rowan, not sure of spelling, seems to have belonged to Simon Van der Stell. It is near Somerset West and the area is due for major developement. I am afraid the grave may be lost. I have a couple of photos but still need to see if they are clear. I can be contacted o/h 021 404 4356 Mon to Fri. House also needs Heritage protection if not already done. I am researching Prinsloo and Bezuidenhout so find family history important to preserve. Sincerely, Sr. C. Grehan at G. S. H. (ED Anyone out there perhaps looking for a missing link?)
