Na twee jaar van weduweeskap hertrou sy moeder met Charles Marais, oudste seun van Charles Marais en Anna de Ruelle. Dit is al Vader wat die klein seuntjie ooit sou ken en hy hernoem dan ook sy stiefvader in sy derde seun wat hy Char1 Pretorius doop. Dit is hierdie Charl Pretorius wat die voorvader sou word van al die latere Sarel Pretoriusse.if; font-size: 14px;">doop word, die oudste twee in die gemeente van Paarl en die ander agt in die Tulbagh gemeente. Die oudste seuntjie is jonk oorlede en die tweede jongste word gebreklik gebore.>s van liefde en mededeelsaamheid wat weerspieel word in die testament wat die egpaar opstel op hul oudag. Benewens die gewone bemakings aan die langslewende, word daar ook 'n bemaking gedoenvan vyf-en-twintig guldens aan die diakonie vir die armes van hul ou gemeente, 't Land van Waveren' oftewel Tulbagh. font-size: 14px;">etuies te teken: Pieter Joubert, Gideonizoon; Pieter du Plessis; Jacob Naude; Pieter Coenradi; Jacubus Hugo; Jan Gysbert Olivier en Hendrik Francois Moller.family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">en onderteken word in 'tLand van Waveren, en die kodisil wat agt jaar later, op 9 Julie 1779 'in de Camdeboo' bygevoeg word, kan ons dus met sekerheid bereken dat Louw en Anna Pretorius met hul gesinne tussen die jare 1771 en 1779 die Boland verlaat het en in die Camdeboo ingetrek het.d uit eigen goedkeuring van den Burger JOHANNES LODEWICUS PRETORIUS, Burger aan Stellenbosch, benevens sjin hujisvrouw ANNA SOPHIA BOTHA verklaart, als borgen te stellen, namentlik twee onbedwongen mannen die toezigt zouden hebben over de geene die 't Langslevende zoude zjin of nablijven.

Indien die slawemeid Hermina voor die testatrisete sterwe sou kom, moet die som van een duisend gulden aan die dogter Anna Maria uitbetaal word, 'als een compensatie voor de sorge en oppasinge' wat haar dogter haar bewys na haar man se dood.

Die oudste drie seuns Louw, Willem en Sarel word boere-pioniers in die Oos-Kaap, en die twee jonger broers Hendrik en Piet in die bo-Karoo. Buiten waar daar ondertrouery met neefs en niggies, die nasate van hul oom Johannes, die ouer broer van Lodewyk was, het feitlik geeneen van hierdie geslag aan die trek na Natal en Transvaal deelgeneem nie; weereens getrou aan die bloed wat in hulle are vloei. Mev Murray skryf oor hulle: On the whole this class of people may be described as eminently loyal to the British Government. Not from any English leanings certainly, but from their conservative habits, and even from religious feeling.'[4]nherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 1.7143em; line-height: 1.75em; font-family: calibribold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #393a3c;">Biography (English)tica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">a Rossouw and he was not yet a year old when his father died in 1718. Maria then married Charles Marais by whom she had seven children. Johannes must therefore have grown up on Rust en Werk left to Maria by Lodewyk.As will be observed from the notes on Lodewyk, Johannes was later in possession of the unidentified farm 'in 't Land van Waveren' which he later sold to his step-brother Johannes Stephanus Marais. Several items of evidence point to the fact that he lived in this area throughout his life, his will was made there and five weeks later he died 'in 't Land van Waveren' and was no doubt also buried there. However it has not been found possible to establishwith any degree of certainty exactly WHERE he farmed over the years. According to the death notice of his son Willem-DN. 1957137 MOOC G/9/10-Willem was born in 1751 'aan de Breede Rivier, District Worcester'.e="margin-left: 20px;">d possibly be so described, namely 'de Driefonteynen agter de Wagenboomsberg'. Positive identification is lacking but a farm of this name lies just over the Breede River en route to the present Rawsonville on the slopes of an unnamed range and below the Wagenboomsriver. This is, however, merely a suggestion. A further problem facing arriving at the true state of affairs is that it is by no means certain WHICH Johannes Lodewicus Pretorius was the actual lessee.
