About Gerrit Van der Bijl
Translated from Die Myburghs van Suid-Afrika (1988), as father of Hester Anna van der Byl, who married Philip Albert Myburg:
Gerrit v.d. Byl/Bijl was the first male v.d. Byl born in South Africa. He was a leading citizen (burger) of Stellenbosch, 41 years old when he married the 16-year-old Elizabeth Grové, born at "Uitkyk", Klapmuts.
Hester was born at Vredenburg, Stellenbosch. Her father also owned Joostenberg and build the current dwelling there.
Hester's brother, Pieter Gerhard v.d. Byl, married Philip Myburg's sister, Sophia Margaretha Myburg.
Een van Stellenbosch se belangrikste landhere, Gerhard van der Byl, is in 1773 op sy plaas Vredenburg oorlede. Behalwe vir sy ander plase rondom Stellenbosch, Fleurbaai en Libertas, het hy ook twee veeplase in die Roggeveld besit; Elandsfontein en Tweefonteine, beide geleë in die jurisdiksie wat as “die Stellenbossche Colonie" beskryf was.
