(Passenger) ShipVoyage On 29 January 1688 Abraham le Clercq sailed on the Oosterland from Middelburg to de Caep de Goede Hoop where it docked on 26 Apr 1688.5,6,7 
(Beneficiary) LiquidDist Between 3 May 1714 and 30 September 1716 a liquidation and distribution account was prepared in the estate of Sara Couchet Cabo de Goede Hoop. The inventory named Abraham le Clercq, Pieter Becker, Jannetje de Clercq, Guilliam Oberholster, Joannes Oberholster and Johanna Barbara Oberholster as benefitting from the estate. Pieter Becker was named beneficiary as the husband of Jannetje de Clercq, and the Oberholster siblings inherited through their deceased mother, Helena du Toit. The fact that Anna de Clercq, who was alive at the time, is as not named as a beneficiary is telling and adds to the evidence that she was not a legitimate daughter of Abraham de Clercq.8
Names in the record, in publications, etc.11 October 1671, the name of Abraham was written in the record as Abraham de Clercq.2
Between 3 August 1710 and 25 August 1726, the name of Abraham was written in the record as Abraham de Klerk.9
