Jochem Greeff, die paartjie se sesde kind, is in April 1695 gedoop. Uit bestaande rekords is duidelik dat nie een van hul eerste vyf kinders vóór 1700 oorlede is nie, dus beteken dit dat die monsterrol-opname aan die begin van die jaar moes wees, vóór Jochem se geboorte.

Die verwysing na vier kinders is 'n raaisel. In 1698 het die paartjie ten minste sewe kinders gehad:
1. Anna *1685
2. Matthys *1687
3. Klaas *1689
4. Margaretha *1691
5. Susanna *1693
6. Jochem *1695
7. ongenoemde kind wat op 21.10.1696 in die Paarl gedoop is (Hendrik of Catharina).

Die oudste, Anna, is pas in 1701 getroud, en die twee oudste seuns, Matthys en Klaas, was hierdie jaar maar rond die tien jaar oud (ouer as sestien sou hulle miskien apart as vryburgers op die lys kon verskyn). Daar is rekord van die kinders in later jare, so hulle was definitief nog almal lewend. Watse rede sou die paartjie hê om minder kinders aan te gee?

Die enigste rede wat ek aan kan dink, is dat hulle moontlik slegs 4 inwonende kinders gehad het. Sou dit kon wees dat 3 van die (waarskynlik ouer) kinders tydelik by 'n familievriend gewoon het?

Of is hierdie 'n fout in die transkripsie of oortik van die oorspronklike dokument?

Occupation

Uit die aangehaalde bron:
"Hendrik Roode woonde als knecht bij de boer Hendrik Venter. In 1699 kreeg hij een gebrek aan zijn been. Om het te genezen ging hij naar chirurgijn Matthijs greef, bij wie hij een poos inwoonde. Na enige tijd kqam Roode weer bij Venter terug, en zei: "Tabeetjes baas, ick sou hier weer gaarn bij u weesen." Venter antwoordde echter afwijzen: "Als gifj van Greef afquamt, kost gij mijn huijs toen nie vinden? Heb ick jouw gesont gehat, ick zoude jouw in jouw sieckte niet verlaten. Gij loopt gedurig op een ander, maar ick heb met sulcke knegts niet van doen".

Aldus 'n ander bron het hy medisyne gemaak van plante.

Miscellaneous

From Governor Simon van der Stel to his son Willem, his successor, dated Constantia: - "Very worthy and beloved son! The bearer of this is Pieter Merreveld, whose name I found among those of the freemen who have been summoned ; he is hired to me, and is a man of good conduct, and should he before this have made any mistake, it must have been more from ignorance than any evil intention. I request that he may be quickly served, as he comes to give an account of himself. He lived 4 years with Sneewind; 8 months with Matthys Greeff, and two years with "Baas" Voslo. With my cordial greeting, I remain, very worthy and dear son,
Your very affectionate father,
S. van der Stel"
Constantia, 17th October, 1701

"Mattijs Greef & Susanna Claas 7 k."

Hier verskyn weer meer kinders as in die vorige beskikbare monsterrol waarin kinders vermeld word.

Maar, as ons aanneem dat ál hul kinders by hulle gewoon het op hierdie stadium, so dit beteken dat Catharina eers ná Jochem gebore was.

"Als een vrouw zaken zonder medeweten van haar man deed, was ze algauw verdacht. Toen Jeronimus Stevens in 1704 geld van Susanna Claasz, de vrouw van oud-heemraad Matthijs Greef, ontvangen had, kreeg hij het aan de stok met Greef zelf:
'Gij bent de pol van mijn wijf. Als gij geld van mijn vrouw opneemt buijten mijn kennis, kond gij wel meer met mijn vrouw uijtstaande hebben.'
Reden voor Susanna om Jeronimus Stevens duchtig met een houten muil onder handen te nemen: 'Gij zijt een kwaat stoker tussen man en vrouw'. "

Oorvertel uit aangehaalde bron
Geertruij van der Lidth, die oudste en toe nog ongetroude dogter van heemraad Anthonij van der Lith, het een 1706 self 'n byeenkoms georganiseer om 'n skinderstorie oor haar te stil. Sy het 'n aantal getuies na die huis van oudheemraad Matthijs Greeff uitgenooi en daar Greeff se slavin Christina ondervra.
"Wat hebt gij mijn meijd gevraagt, of ik een kind gekregen heb, en of het een meisje is?"
Christina het ontken dat sy die bron van die skinderstorie was en gesê dat sy dit van Hans Beijer gehoor het, dat "de ouste nonje van Van der Lith heeft een kinen [en] leijd in de kraam van een jonge dogter. Wil je 't niet gelooven? Daar komt haar meijd aan. Vraagd die 't vrij, die sal 't u selvs seggen".
Matthijs Greef se seun Matthijs, het dit bevestig: "Nonje, ik heb het Hans ook hooren seggen".
"Swijg maar, ik heb al genoeg", was Geertruij se reaksie.

"June 25.
...
"Simon of Malabar, slave of Matthys Greef, hanged for theft. On a Sunday, three years ago, he and Kelder, a servant of the Company and horse herd at Klapmuts, had been at the house of an old man, Frans Hendriksz de Raad, alias Platte Boer, at Stellenbosch, and at a time when he knew that the said Frans and his wife Aatje Philips were at his master's house.

"That 'Kelder' opened the window and climbed into the housel that prisoner stood on the watch outside to look out for the passers-by; that Kelder broke open the chest and stole Rds. 139 tied in a piece of sailcloth, a silver purse in which there were 8 diamonds, a silver-mounted belt, a hat, an under waistcoat with 24 silver buttons, 16 buttons with silver plates, and a silver breech button".

He had confessed that, excepting the button last mentioned and the money, of which he had only received Rds. 25, he had thrown the waistcoat, after having cut off the silver buttons, into the bushes. When he returned home he pretended to pity the poor old people who had been robber and were still at his master's house, by saying "that poor woman's property has been stolen," endeavouring by such words of sympathy to his his premeditated crime. For that purpose he also gave the silver purse, the belt and diamonds to his mistress, the wife of Matthys Greeff, in order to compromise her as aider and abetter, and secure her protection ; the money and the silver buttons he kept for himself.

The buttons he sold to a certain Jan Roux at Drakenstein for twopence each and gambled the amount away at the house of Jan Valniet at Stellenbosch.

When the robbery was discovered the prisoner was ordered by his master to keep out of the way, and he was sent first to an outside station, the "Drie Fonteinen ", and after that to the 24 Rivers. This the prisoner obeyed and remained in his hiding-place until, like all other vagabonds, he flew into a candle like a moth.

Some four months ago he had incited some slaves to steal their master's cattle, which he had kept among his master's lambs, and with which he had run away under the direction of two Dutch or Europeans, who professed to have a compass, with which they might reach another country in six weeks' time. Together they carried of 19 sheep, 7 of the Heemraad Jad Botma, and 12 of Mr. Elsevier, also some tobacco, two guns, and powder and lead stolen from Hans Polonie (servant of Elsevier) ; prisoner then commenced the journey with the two Europeans, Jan Bakker and another Jan ; and when they had eater up everything they parted from the Europeans; becoming then the leader of the company and proceeding inland beyond the Olifants River into the Cochema's land, they were attacked by the Hottentots, who robbed them of their goods and ammunition, and broke and threw their firelocks in to the river. When prisoner and his comrades had crossed the river to this side, they were again attacked by the Hottentots (Namaquas or Bushmen), captured and delivered into the hands of justice, &c., &c.

Hoekom het Greeff sy slaag weggestuur juis toe die diefstal bekend geword het? Ek vermoed hy het geweet van sy slaaf se betrokkenheid en dié se verhouding met sy vrou, en wou nie dat dit bekend word nie.

Uit Adam Tas se dagboek:
"Maandag den 25en.

Property

In die joernaal van 1709 word verwysing gemaak na 'n straatgeveg, maar dit word nie gemeld of dit in Kaapstad of Stellenbosch was nie. Ek vermoed die eerste. Tydens die geveg het ene "Dolle Dries" in die hoek van die Nuwe Markplein gaan staan, "at the corner house ... belonging to Matthijs Greeff. "

Death

Uit die verkoop van Matthijs Greef se boedel is dit duidelik dat hy ekonomies welvarend was: vier plase en drie veeposte. Die totale opbrengs was 12,800 rijksdaalders.
