Birth*Joannes Pretorius was born before 22 August 1680 in de Caep de Goede Hoop.2,1
 
BaptismJoannes Pretorius was baptized on 22 August 1680 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop. The baptism was witnessed by Christina van der Bergh and Gerrit Victor.2,1 
Marriage*He married Helena Vosloo, daughter of Johann Vosloo and Nantsana van Madagascar, before 21 March 1711 de Caep de Goede Hoop. The marriage is assumed because the practice at the time was to record if the parents of the child were not married, and in this instance there was no such notation. Many Drakenstein church records have been lost.3
 
Death*He died before 5 June 1732, when his estate was inventoried.4
 
Inventory*Joannes's estate was inventoried on 5 June 1732 Zanddrift, Kleine Berg Revier. His wife, Helena Vosloo, was not included in the inventory and it is assumed she predeceased him. His children, Joannes Pretorius, Gerrit Pretorius, Wessel Pretorius, Johanna Pretorius, Anna Pretorius, Lodewicùs Pretorius, Jacobùs Pretorius, Arnoldùs Krùijsman Pretorius, Willem Sterrenberg Pretorius and Wýnand Pretorius were all named as the beneficiaries of his estate. It was recorded that they ranged in age from 22- to 2-years-old.4
