a1/Stamvader, enigste Steenkamp wat oorspronklik na Suid Afrika gekom het. Woonagtig te "Het Slot", Paardeberg, Drakenstein op 2 Apr 1715 (e-pos: lesley Robertson)
Volgens Pama I was hy van Nieuwkerk afkomstig
.He came to South Africa from the village of NIEUWKERK, but whether the Dutch or Belgian Nieuwkerk is not clear.
On 4 April 1715 he became the owner of the farm "Het Slot" (The Castle) of Paardeberg, district Drakenstein.
All the Steenkamps of South Africa are descended from one of his five sons Johannes Harmen, Casper, Lucas, Wilhelm or Gerrit.
The other three sons died childless.
Of the only daughter Anna we know nothing except, (intriguingly!) that she was murdered on the frontier by Bushmen.
Jan was the progenitor (stamvader) of the Steenkamp family in South Africa.
On 4 April 1715 he became the owner of the farm "Het Slot" (The Castle) of Paardeberg, district Drakenstein.
In 1725 he beat the slave Domingo to death.
His slaves complained to the Fiscal, but he was acquitted and the slaves were punished instead.
In 1729 another of his slaves, Hector, was brutally beaten and died. On this occassion he was convicted, but his sentence was light.

Die Steenkamps in Suid-Afrika kom 'n ver pad: daar is driehonderd jaar en tien geslagte tussen Jan Harmensz se geboorte in Europa en diè van jongste Steenkamps in die twee takke wat ons hier volg. Langs die pad het hulle die gene-poel verryk met vrouens wat stam uit Holland, Duitsland, Swede, Denemarke, en Frankryk.
Verskeie Steenkamp-eggenotes was die dogters of kleindogters van stamvaders: op diè manier is die Steenkamps dan ook verwant aan al die Krugers, die Griesels, die Swiegerse en so aan.
Trouens, die bevolking aan die Kaap was so klein in die vroeë jare dat huwelike tussen kleinneefs en -niggies nie ongewoon was nie.
Teen 1691 was daar net oor 'n duisend inwoners, plus ongeveer 400 slawe.
Ons, hulle afstammelinge, kom uit 'n baie klein genetiese poel en is maar almal eintlik een groot familie.
As ons ouer mense "Oom" en "Tannie" noem, is dit nie verniet nie!
Jan Harmensz STEENKAMP het in 1714 na die Kaap gekom van Nieuwkerk - dis nie duidelik of dit die Hollandse of Belgiese dorpie met dié naam was nie.
Die "Harmensz" deel van sy naam is 'n patroniem: voluit "Harmenszoon", menende dat hy die seun was van Harm.
He word eienaar van die plaas "Het Slot" in the Drakenstein Distrik, op 4 April 1715.
Hy moes voor 1747 gesterf het, want dit is wanneer sy tweede vrou hertrou het.
Jan and Gezina had vier kinders, die jongste 'n tweeling:
Jan Harmensz STEENKAMP had 14 kinders, die oudste vier by sy eerste vrou Gesina VISSER en nog tien by sy tweede vrou, Jannetje VAN ECK. Hulle het in die Drakenstein distrik gewoon.
