Marriage*He married Maria Cornelisz, daughter of Cornelis Claasz and Catharina van Malabar, on 9 April 1691 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop.2,3
 
Marriage De facto* Between 1713 and 1724 Gerrit Willemsz and Anna van Wijk were in a de facto relationship de Caep de Goede Hoop. . Mansell Upham notes in private conversation that, even though a marriage record has not yet been found, it is llikely that Anna van Wijk and Gerrit Willemsz were legally married. Baptisms of the period routinely indicated that a child was born out of wedlock, viz onecht, but this is not the case in the baptism of their son Gerrit Willemsz (later Gerrit Nieuwoudt).4,5
