Gregory, Geoffrey, Digby and Margaret, Richard, Quentin LONDT - Feb. 95

 

a	CORNELIS LOND  *c.1743 / Copenhagen, Denmark.  +?  x- 3.5.1776/ Lutheran Church, Amsterdam, Netherlands / Christina JANSEN *c.1747 / Zeist, Netherlands +?  (No records were found in the Amsterdam City Archives of the death of either party, indicating that they probably moved away from this jurisdiction).  Entry in Marriage Register for 3 May 1776 - Lutheran Church, Amsterdam According to this entry Cornelis was 33 years old and Christina 29 at the time of their marriage.  The parents of both are said to be deceased.  As witness for Christina is her sister Maria JANSEN and for Cornelis a certain Gerrit LINTEMAN. Note that both parties are able to sign their full names whereas the entry above shows X's.  Cornelis signs his name LOND without a final "T", which appears to be the correct form for the Danish name (Meaning in english is 'Grove' as in a group of trees).
b1	JOHANNES LONDT (Note 1) * March.1778 /Amsterdam ~1.4.1778/Amsterdam +Unknown.  x- 23.6.1805/Cape Town/ Johanna Maria SCHREEN  *1774/Cape; +4.6.1837/Cape Town (61y1m3d).  (d/o Coenraad SCHRÖN (2) of Eisenach, Saxony *1731 +1.2.1802 / Cape (71y) and Clara Maria PIETERSE   *c.1743 / Cape +1805 / Cape (61y). (Note 3)  Entry in Baptismal #  Register for 1st April 1778, City of Amsterdam Archives. Minister Officiating:  Dominee (Rev.) Willem Noordenhout (*1732/Amsterdam) of the Lutheran Church # Father : Cornelis Londt Mother : Christina Jansen  Witnesses:  Jan Jansen and Maria Lourens  Jan Jansen may be Christina's brother or father. Christina's sister is now named Lourens so she seems to have married in the interim.  (Note that the Registrar has here added the "T" to his father's name to make 'LONDT' which is how Johannes and his descendants have spelled the name since). (# Details from Joe Ten Broek on 9 Feb.2005 - joetenbroek@hotmail.com, a descendant of Do.Noordenhout. According to her, before 1812 when Napoleon instituted the civil registry in Holland, births were not registered. What was registered was the date of baptism which was usually within 3 to 5 days of birth)

He has been appointed “warden in charge of his own house”. Mr. Londt came originally from Burghersdorp in the Eastern Province. Besides bringing up a family of 13 children, he found time to fight in the Gaika-Galeka war in 1877; in the Congabella Rebellion in 1878; in the Basuto wars 1880-81; in the Anglo-Boer war and throughout the Great War. He has, he says, decided to die in ????.  Today, as energetic as ever before he is setting an example to Pretoria Citizens, showing the youngsters at 60 that even at 85 a man may be welcomed by the C.P.S.”

b2	Lucas Joachim Wilhelm LONDT *c.1813 No Information found. According to his mother's Death Notice he was 'mondig' (ie. "of age" +21years) at the time of her death.

1) JOHANNES LONDT:

- According to the Cape Directory of 1800 (in which his surname is strangely, but in fact correctly, given as LOND ) he was 'Of Amsterdam' and a 'Matroos' (Sailor).  He was apparently boarding at the home of the widow Ziedeman at the time along with two other men. The directory further states that he had 'remained after the capitulation' (presumably of the Cape to the British in 1795). His address at the time is given as: 1 Graave Street, Cape Town. The date of his arrival at the Cape is unknown. His date of baptism was found for the first time in the Amsterdam City Archives in 1998 by Geoffrey and Claire Londt. The date of his death is not known as yet. (Strangely there is also a Cornelis LOND listed in Cape Town at the time - One wonders if this was his father ?)

-In 1802 he was paid 7 Rixdallers by the NGK 'Moederkerk' in Stellenbosch "voor het schilderen en vergulden in de kerk van 134 letters" (for the painting and gilding in the church of 134 letters) over the organ. It has been suggested that these made up a verse from the Bible - 1.Corinthians 13:1. (Ref: Die Kerk van Stellenbosch. A.M.Hugo & J. v.d. Bijl. pub.1963)

-In the NGK marriage register he is named as a "Bombardier by Auxiliare Artillerie 1ste Classe". A few months later, in a letter written to the administration on behalf of a sister-in-law, he styles himself  "Bombardier Commandeerende Battery Pyman in de Hout Bay". (It is understood that historians were unaware of such a Battery).

-J.A.Heese's book "Slagtersnek en Sy Mense" (Tafelberg Uitgewers. 1973) was an unexpected source of additional information. From this we are told that Johannes was a Messenger of Court (Geregsbode) in Stellenbosch prior to transfer to Graaff-Reinet in January 1813 where he was Deputy Sheriff/Bailiff (Onderbalyu). It was he who was
delegated to serve the warrant of arrest on a certain Frederik Bezuidenhout on 10 October 1815. We are told that Johannes was 39 years old at the time (we now know that he was about 37). Bezuidenhout was shot by one of the undisciplined border troops who had attached themselves to Johannes as an escort. This incident, in which Johannes was an unwitting participant, contributed to the later uprising and events known to S.A. history as "Slagtersnek".
- The 1846 Almanac lists Johannes as the 'Tyler' of the Freemasons Lodge 'de Goede Hoop' in Bouquet Street, Cape Town. His wifes Death Notice, filled out by Johannes, states that they were living there when she died. He would have been about 70 years old in 1846. This is the last piece of information found. In this same death notice he lists the
children of his marriage. He omits the child who died in infancy but includes a fourth, Lucas Joachim Wilhelm, of whom no information at all has been found.

2) The name is also found recorded as Schee, Schreyn, Schrijn, Schree, Schreen , Schron and Schrein. Coenraad 'Schee', in the service of the V.O.C, arrived at the Cape on the ship 'Tulpent' in 1754. He was made a "free-burgher" on 8 Mar.1757.2)   Coenraad married twice. His first was to Barbara VOGELSLANG who bore him two children: Barbara Catherina and Johannes Simon. Both children had died before his second marriage to Clara Maria PIETERSE.  She bore him five Children: Johanna Maria, Sara Wilhelmina, Simon Christoffel, Anna Petronella and Clara. It would seem then that Coenraad’s first grandson Johannes Coenraad Cornelis LONDT was named after his father and/or paternal great grandfather  Johannes and  his grandfather Coenraad.  Coenraad’s second grandson Simon Pieter Christoffel being named after one of his uncles, Simon Christoffel  and his great grandfather Pieter. Volume 2 of FAMILIA for 1983 pg.38 has an interesting article by Margaret Cairns entitled "The Schröns, a Cape Family 1758-1841". This is the same Schrön. Clara Maria PIETERSE seems to have been the daughter of a certain Pieter VAN INNEAS and ‘Elizabeth’ (whose family name is unknown). ‘Pieterse’ derives from ‘of Pieter’ or ‘belonging to Pieter’. Pieter may have been a Malay on Indonesian slave imported to the Cape by the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC). Elizabeth  was probably of mixed cape blood (ie “coloured”). This information derives from the article mentioned above.

3) Simon Pieter Christoffel LONDT (also found as Petrus and Peter)
Was a master craftsman and cabinet-maker of distinction. In the Reinse Sendings-Kerk in Stellenbosch stands one of his creations pictured below- the pulpit, which is now a National Monument. His unmarked grave was located in the Lutheran section of Maitland Cemetary, Cape Town. (The attendants office has the original register of graves). The plot had apparently been owned by someone else who had allowed his burial there. It is located between the graves of Justus Carl Deist No.1900 and Darling Violet Bohle no.1922 and backs onto the graves of Maria Stallbaum No.1903 and Catharina M.Herbst. It is two graves from the end of the row at the railway side of the cemetery.. He died on the Monday and was buried on Wednesday 1st Nov.1899. The funeral notice was carried in the Cape Times of the same day. At the time of his death he was living at Bower Cottage, Roukoop Road, Rondebosch.  His second wife was the widow of Charles Louis Kuypers MONS of Brussels, a diamond merchant. (*c.1835, +28.11.1872/Cape Town 37y). There were three children by her first marriage:
 1- Joseph Louis Kryn Kuypers MONS;
 2- Jacobus Barend Kuypers MONS;
 3- Margaret Clara Francis MONS.
 (The film actor Victor McLaglen is believed to have been  a nephew of Cornelia Margaretha).
 

4) William Edward LONDT
A short powerfully built man. 5'-5 1/2" tall according to a passport of his. At age 13 (c.1894) Billy walked to East London where he was employed by a Mr William Smaile, a shopkeeper who specialised in footware. While there he stayed with a family by the name of Dodge. He worked long hours but found time to study bookkeeping and shorthand. When he was 17 (c.1898) he rejoined his parents in Cape Town (his fathers ailing health may have had an influence on his move). There he became a clerk in the Standard Bank. Within six months he was working in the offices of Herbert Baker (later to be Sir Herbert Baker), who had newly established himself as an architect in Cape Town. After the outbreak of the South African War in 1899 he enlisted in the colonial unit Roberts Horse as Trooper No.1157 (probably c.1900 in Cape Town after his fathers death). The five bars of his medal show the extent of his service before he was wounded. He was discharged from the forces as medically unfit due to a gunshot would in the shoulder and received the “Kings Shilling” as a pension from the British Government. He tried livestock speculation but lost his money due to the 'Rindepest'. Other speculations included diamond digging.

 In 1906 he settled in Port Elizabeth. There he became involved in the brewing business but sold out as he was in principle against the use of liquor in any form (this concern appears to have been the beginning of what was eventually to become South African Breweries). In 1907 he was offered control of the insolvent Algoa Boot and Shoe Company but did not have the capital. However, in partnership with a Mr.Frank Packer and Mr.Gibaut he acquired the assets of this company which had started business in 1890. The plant was two sewing machines and a staff of not more than half a dozen. He bought out his minority partners in 1910 and moved to bigger premises. When he married Florence Gladys Gilbert she took over some of the bookkeeping tasks.

 In 1913 an important development occurred, the introduction of a scheme to sell shoes by mail order. The company changed name to Edwards Leather Works and again in 1914 to Edworks Limited.

 During WW1 Edworks with a staff of 150 made thousands of pairs of army boots as well as saddlery and harness. The mail order catalogue continued to grow, 100 000 copies of 6 pages in the 1920's. At the 1925 Rosebank Show, Edworks displayed 300 different types of footwear. A new plant was built at Sydenham, North End and output increased to 8-10 000 pairs a week. In 1926 the company resolved to open their own retail shops which eventually spread around the country.  A substantial export trade had also developed to many countries in the commonwealth. The second world war saw a further increase in output. In 1946 he decided to retire and sold out to the Dodo Group. Thereafter he became active in property
 investment and development in and around Port Elizabeth, notably the suburbs of Sunridge Park and Framesby.

 He was a very active sportsman. As a member of the P.E.Gymnastic Club he excelled at 'Single Stick' and Boxing. He was also a noted sprinter in his youth , regularly winning medals at Greenpoint Stadium including at least one gold. He is mentioned in "The South African Review" of Jan.10th. 1902 as having run the 100 yards in 10.2 seconds. He was active in promoting the first commercial air flights from P.E. He served as a City Councillor and was a supporter of a number of charities and associations. He was a member of the Port Elizabeth Golf Club.

Florence Gladys (b. GILBERT) passed the School Higher Examination in 1903 and obtained a certificate from the University of the Cape of Good Hope in English, Latin, Arithmetic and Mathematics.

 Dear John,
 As you are such a history buff and in particular interested in Family history I have found a few more references to Roberts Horse in the dispatches of Banjo Paterson to the Sydney Morning Herald than were advised in the index of the book you looked at.

 As you know your great grandfather Edward William Londt fought with Roberts Horse and was seriously wounded in battle; so badly that he was thrown on to an ox-wagon as dead, but survived. I can remember him telling me stories of his life when I was a little boy and I used to listen fascinated, for hours,  to his tales.  He also showed me the huge hole in his shoulder that the bullet made and as well the actual bullet they dug out of him.  In the bullet you could see the scrape marks of the surgeons clamp as he struggled to remove that lump of lead from the body. Later he had a ruby mounted in the bullet to commemorate all the blood lost as well as a near death experience. He also used to tell me of long rides chasing the Boers in the veld and that there was always a shortage of water - so he used to put a peach pip into his mouth and roll that around to keep the saliva and offset the pangs of thirst. Try it, it works!

 He also told me how he had many horses shot under him in battle before that bullet got him so he obviously had a long time in service (see note 1) and was rewarded by the British with a pension of a shilling (10c) a day for the rest of his life.  It was the rate of pay in the army going back to before the battle of Waterloo (the Kings shilling for military service). I wish I could remember more but I do recall one last thing- he used also to break in wild horses for the regiment.

 Now as to what I have found out about Roberts Horse and my guess as to where he was wounded. Remember Patersons dispatches were intended for Australian consumption and W.E.L. was South African colonial as thay called them then. I missed a couple of refs early on, but they were inconsequential so here is the meatier part

  " ...2/5/1900. Skirmishes at Leeukop, (lionshead) Roodekop, Grootfontein ( bigfountain), Jacobsrust and Thaba 'Nchu ... I have seen three or four fights, captured two cities and been in amongst the Boers.(he was with General French's cavalry most of the time he was in SA)

 One day we saw troops going out to Leeukop and heard guns in the distance We found a lot of African volunteers and Roberts Horse under the shelter of a big stony hill holding their horses. They had been there all day and not seen a shot fired. We heard the clatter of the pom pom gun about three miles off.....On 23rd April French and his force advanced on Dewetsdorp where the Boers had established themselves along a ridge four miles from the town. The key being the hill of Roodekop.....there had been a fight there that day and the Boers had fired from their farmhouses, though they were flying a white flag and a Major from Roberts Horse was fatally shot.- in revenge our people ignited the property.....The battle near Heidelberg....Roberts Horse sustain casualties...Four columns were sent out to capture Gen De Wet. Lt General Hamilton with three mounted brigades an infantry brigade and three batteries of artillery made for Heidelberg where they met sharp resistance. Roberts Horse a colonial unit named after Lord Roberts had been created in the Cape in February 1900. A number of Australians served in their ranks. In March 1900 it had a tough fight at Sannas post. Paterson writing from the town on the day it fell recorded a battle that led to Roberts Horse losing a number of men.....Gen Hamilton sent troops around the hill to outflank the Boers. The Boers were quite prepared for this and they peppered Roberts Horse in great style, seriously wounding five officers and six men..... The war was to continue long after Paterson left on 6/8/1900. Finally ending on the 31st May 1902.

 Now as to where and when "Oupa" (Grandpa in Dutch) Londt met with that bullet I can only guess but I do have newspaper report to quote from " After the outbreak of the Boer war in 1899 Londt enlisted in the colonial unit Roberts Horse. The five bars on his medal show the extent of his service before he was wounded....." My guess is late in the campaign (Apr 1902) when the British forces were somewhat stretched chasing the Boer commando's around the veld.

 Hope all this was of interest as I should welcome any further input you may happen upon .
 Love Dad.”

 (Note 1: by DERL: He was in service for “1 year 24 days” according to his discharge papers).
