Petronella (VAN) MEERHOF(F) ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

Dalene Matthee se historiese roman, "Pieternella van die Kaap", is op die lewe van Petronella gebasseer. Klaarblyklik gegrond op deeglike navorsing bied Matthee 'n veelsydige indruk van lewe aan die Kaap en Mauritius in die tyd van Petronella. Dit is nie duidelik of "van" 'n deel in die speeling van haar van was nie. Matthee se spelling van haar naam as Pieternella, was waarskynlik om haar pa se naam in gedagte te roep.
Dalene Matthee's historical novel, "Pieternella van die Kaap", is based on the life of Petronella. Obviously grounded on thorough research, Matthee offers a wide-ranging impression of life in the Cape and Mauritius during the time of Petronella. It is not clear whether "van" was included in the spelling of her family name. Matthee's spelling of her name as Pieternella was probably to call to mind her father's name.

Petronella married Daniel ZAAIYMAN. (Daniel ZAAIYMAN was born about 1660 and died in 1714.)
