Birth*Clara Bok van der Caep was born in 1716.1
 
Marriage*She married Johan Jurgen Fuchs on 4 February 1731.1
 
MarriageShe married Gideon Slabbert, son of Floris Slabbert and Huibrecht Jasperse, on 1 August 1756 Swartland, de Caep de Goede Hoop. Published genealogies and researchers have recorded this marriage between Gideon Slabbert the son and Clara Bock. However, the inventory of the estate of Francina Karsten, first wife of Gideon Slabbert senior, did not include the son Gideon, who must therefor have predeceased her. Clara therefor married Gideon Slabbert senior - which also makes chronological sense, given that she was 23 years older than Gideon junior.2
 
Death*She died on 19 May 1797.1
 
(Beneficiary) InventoryThe estate of Christiaan Bok was inventoried between 26 August 1716 and 28 August 1716 Cabo de Goede Hoop with Geringer receiving one half, his widow Anna, one quarter, and the remaining quarter divided between Michiel, Catharine, Johanna, Christiaan and Clara. Maria Bok was not mentioned. Sixteen male slaves valued at ƒ4,800, and 3 female slaves valued at ƒ450 were included in the inventory, none of whom were identified.3
Baptisms - WitnessClara Bok van der Caep and Christiaan Bok witnessed the baptism of Michiel Bester on 14 August 1740 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town).4,5
