  • Notes 
    • SA Genealogies Volume 7 page 69 gives the father of Dina as Ockert not Hendrik. Ockert Corneliszoon and his elder brother, Hendrik were the progenitors of the Olivier family in South Africa.This supported by other sources - see There is a very thorough article at http://home.intekom.com/oli4s/Esme%20Bull.htm which is worth looking into to establishing the ins and outs of this family. Hendrik and Ockert were brothers http://www.stamouers.com/
    • For his affair with Maria Jans Visser, wife of Willem Willemsz van
      Devenster, see my notes. While the Council of Policy was dealing
      with the problem of the husband and wife, sometime in the middle
      of 1676, Ocker Cornelisz was confined on Robben Island, presumably
      being released after the departure of the couple to Batavia during
      September 1676.

      It was ordered by the Council of policy (C9, 18 August 1676) that on
      his return from Robben Island, Ocker Cornelisse was to be obliged to
      support properly the two children he had fathered in his adultery with
      the wife of Willem Willemsz, and in 1677 we find, in the muster roll of
      that year, Hendrik and Ocker Corneliss with two children, unnamed,
      but presumably these two.

      His inventory of 1705 states that he left 12 children,
      majors and minors, but does not name them.
