Onderstaande inligting kom vanuit die Boshoff familie in Suid Afrika. Derde uitgawe.
Die Boshoff stamvader, Willem Hendrik BOSHOFF (waarna soms ook verwys word as Henri Guillaume BOSSAU) land op 18.03.1741 aan die Kaap aan boord van die Ruyven, wat Texel in Nederland1 op 27.10.1740 verlaat het onderweg na Batavia (sien ook sy soldystaat, waarhy aangegee word as Willem Hendrik Boshoff van Bayonne). Tydens die vaart na die Kaap het 63 passasiers en bemanning omgekom en met die aankoms aan die Kaap was 28 siek. Die siekes is aan die Kaap agtergelaat. Op grond van die gebeure na die vertrek van die Ruyven, blyk dit dat Willem Hendrik een van dié was wat agtergelaat is. Na sy aankoms versoek Willem Hendrik 'n attestaat/getuigskrif van die Franssprekende gemeente Altona naby Hamburg. Die getuigskrif is op 25 April 1742 uitgereik in die naam van Henri Guillaume BOSSAU – moontlik 'n verFransde weergawe van sy naam. Willem Hendrik se herkoms kon egter tot nog toe nie met sekerheid vasgestel word nie. Op 15.10.1752 trou Willem Hendrik te Tulbagh met Martha Maria CORDIER ≈ 20.5.1736 Paarl, d/v Philippus CORDIER ≈ 26.10.1698 en Elizabeth (Isabeau) MALHERBE ≈ 1.12.1697 † Maart 1783. Uit hierdie huwelik spruit die volgende kinders: b1 Willem Hendrik ≈ 21.7.1754 b2 Johannes Philippus ≈ 25.5.1755 b3 Jacobus Nicolaas ≈ 4.12.1757 b4 Louis Joachim ≈ 18.4.1761 b5 Johannes Josephus ≈ 31.7.1763 b6 Jacobus Petrus ≈ 10.3.1764 b7 Martha Maria *2.11.1766 ≈ 3.7.1767 b8 Christiaan Coenraad ≈ 25.9.1768 b9 Petrus Hieronimus ≈ 6.10.1771 b10 Elizabeth Maria Margaretha ≈ 9.11.1777 Die stamvader sterf op 26.7.1786 in die Waveren-distrik.
Very little information is available on the original family at the Cape with the exception of early documents of the Dutch East India Company, early Church registers (which include baptisms, marriages and burials) and a few permits which were granted. Two permits can be found in the Cape Government Archives dated 1785 and 1790. Both these permits were granted to Jacobus Nicolaas Boshoff, the son of the original man, allowing him grazing rights for his cattle on two separate farms. The first permit, granted on 7.4.1785 was for the farm "Rady". The second permit was granted on 20.3.1790 and was for the farm "Duinzicht" which was situated on the Gouritz River in the Mossel Bay area. This permit states that the widow of Willem Hendrik Boshof senior was still on the farm and it would appear therefore that Willem Hendrik Boshoff senior must have been dead by this time. A very early death notice in the Government Archives in Cape Town, gives us the death of a Willem Boshoff on 26.7.1786 in the Waveren district in the Cape, a large area at that time which included among other towns, both Tulbagh and Swellendam.
