| Our Ouma
Katie was a Naudè from both sides: her father Martiens and
mother Polly were both Naudès. They were third cousins.
They were descended from two
sons of Jacob Naudè (1723) and Anna Du Toit (1727):
# Martiens from Charel (1758) and
# Polly from his brother Stephanus (1749)

Jacob NAUDE (born 1 August 1723)
Jacob NAUDE and Susanne
TAILLEFERT's only son JACOB,
born 1 August 1723, was the seventh generation from the old wall builder
Jean Nadel.
He married Anna Susanna du
Toit, a daughter of Stephanus du Toit and Deborah Marais, on 11
October 1744 in Capetown. She was seventeen years old and he twenty-two.
They had eleven children. The
third child was Stephanus = b. 15.4.1749, bapt. 25-5-1749
and the eighth was Carel = b. 3.10.1758, bapt. 22-10-1758. These two are our
ancestors.
The Drakenstein Census of 1746
showed that Jacob at age 23 owned:
One son (Jacob, the eldest, born the previous year)
Two slaves
Three horses
One pistol
Sixteen chickens.
Amazing that his child was counted among his possessions!
Why not his wife as well? Maybe a
wife counted as one of the slaves. The two slaves must have had
their hands full looking after one baby, three horses and sixteen
chooks!
Jacob prospered: at his death, the date of which is uncertain, his
estate included 2708 sheep, 11 horses, 23 oxen, 37 other cattle and 19
stud cattle. (No mention of wives or slaves!) The auction of his assets fetched 3534 riksdaalders. |

Polly and Martiens NAUDE
were married in Kimberley in 1883 and moved to the Transvaal soon after
the proclamation of the Goldfields.
They occupied the first brick
house erected in Johannesburg and after four years they moved to
Pretoria. At that time Pretoria was a small country town with a
scattering of houses.
They first lived in Boom
Street, in the middle of the town. The town was so sparsely populated
that they had very large grounds and their house resembled a farmhouse.
Later they moved to 106 Celliers Street, where they were still living
when Oupa Martiens died in 1934.
Their Golden Wedding
anniversary in 1933 was celebrated with a big party, attended by their
four daughters, nine grandchildren and many guests, including
representatives of the newspapers. Oupa Martiens was a prominent figure
in the community through his well-known market agency, from which he
retired in 1933 after 46 years.
He died a year later, in 1934.
They had four daughters:
- the
eldest was Catharina Susanna Elizabeth (Katie), born on Christmas Day 1884.
- Her sister Muriel
Magdalena Naudè
was born 10.11.1887 at Johannesburg and died 3.7.1971 at Pretoria. She
married François Johannes de Villiers( b.14.5.1884 at
Beaconsfield, Kimberley) on 6.6.1914 at Pretoria.
- Minnie Frances Naudè married
Charles Spencer Hickman (b. 1883 in England) and died 25.3.1956
in the Middelburg hospital.
- The other sister, whose name we do
not know, married a Dr J.H.C. Stead. Their daughter was an only child
and married a Mr Cook. They had three sons, two of whom were named
Brian and Colin. The Cooks emigrated to Canada in the 1960s.
