(Spouse) Arrival Before 31 December 1687, Christoph Grünewaldt arrived at the Cape, as a soldier with the rank of corporal in service of the VOC from Königsberg. On 10 May 1690 he made an agreement with Hans Niemand, who was enroute to Patria with the return fleet, that Niemand could claim, from the paymaster in Holland, a total of f 364:8:9 from his earnings for an unstated individiual or purpose. The record refers to an earlier agreement dated the 31st (ultimo) December 1687, concluded at 't Casteel de Goede Hoop. This record has been misinterpreted to fix his arrival at the Cape in 1690. The record also begs the questions, was Hans Niemand a relation of Grünwaldt's future wife, Catharina Niemand ? My thanks to Gawie Groenewald for bringing this to my attention.4,5
Names in the record, in publications, etc.31 July 1695, the name of Catharina was written in the record as Catharina Groenewalt.
