Ongegund Farm

The first land grant in these environs was to Andries van der Heide in 1708. There is very little information in the archival records for the property during the 18th century; and no transfer or title deeds were recorded in the Deeds Office registry. Prior to it becoming part of the Ongegund Farm in 1818, it is known only that it was transferred to J. van der Heyde in 1727. Michiel Nicolaas Smuts (Jan Christian Smuts great'grandfather) was granted 'Ongegund' in 1818 as Stellenbosch Quitrent (Erfpag) 4.12. In 1856 it seems as though a portion of this quitrent came off and was consolidated with the original 1708 freehold (Farm 505).  Ongegund also called 'Boplaas', was originally a very large farm, but was repealedly subdivided until at one stage, prior to JC Smuts's time, five Smuts families lived on the same farmyard ! The property has been subject to many regrants and permutations, but remained in the Smuts family until 1946, when it was bought by the Portland Cement Company. The Smuts family ancestry is both German and Dutch, as paternal ancestor Michiel Cornelius Smuts emigrated from Middleburg, Holland around 1692, and his maternal ancestor, Johann Christiaan Davel (after whom he was named), had emigrated from Bautzen, Germany, in 1734. 9 The family originally settled in the Swartland in 1786 on the farm Zoutfontein, and purchased Ongegund in 1818. Jan Christian Smuts was born in a cottage on the farm on the 24 May 1870. Farm 506, 'Ongegund adjoining between Vlakkerug and Sout Rivier.
