| Notes |
- The youngest brother, Willem was the last to leave the Western Cape. After farming in what is to-day
known as the Tulbach, Ceres and Worcester districts, he followed his elder brothers between 1808 and
1810 to the eastern frontier and took over the farm Rietvalley from his brother Johannes Petrus. Here
he stayed until his death on 23rd December, 1836.
Willem's two sons, after their father's death, left the Cape Colony under Pieter Uys, and settled in Natal
until the British annexation thereof. In 1842 they both moved to Groot Marico and in 1863 a section of
the family settled in the districts of Winburg and Kroonstad.
According to his Death Notice, Willem was born at Piketberg, Cape District.
† Rietvallei, Great Fish River 23.12.1836.
