Zacharias and Dina de Beer take Queeckvalleij

1762 · local · Prince Albert (Kweekvallei)

The loan farm in the Koup that eighty-three years later became the village of Prince Albert. The de Beers are the first of the families in this history onto this ground - and they were TULBAGH people, as the Oosthuizens were. Whether the two families knew each other in the Land van Waveren before either moved east is the open question.
