In 1762 Govener Ryk Tulbach granted permission to Michael Müller to utilize the farm Zwarte Jongensfontein for grazing. 20. Volgende bekom uit My Heritage:
On the 29th of September 1713, Hilgerus Möller and his wife Anna Margareta Adams, baptized their sixth child in the Roman Catholic church of St. Walburga in Meschede of the Elecotrate of Cologne, and give him the names Anton Michael. He will later be known as Michiel Muller, the stamvader of most of the Muller's in South Africa. On August the 24th 1734 the Oostrust, a "retourschip" from the Chamber of Amsterdam, set sail from the island of Texel to Batavia. On board was amongst the 381 souls, a fresh 21 year old recruit, Michiel Mulder of Mitskidde, enlisted in the rank of soldier at f 9 per month, for his tour of duty to the East. In the past few weeks, maybe even months, before sailing, he was accomodated by the 'Volkshouder' Jan Stuwaart.
On enlisment at the VOC head office, he had to sign a f 150,00 I.O.U also known as a "transportbrief", in the name of his 'Volkshouder" Jan Stuwaart. This was to cover the cost of boarding, lodging, services, maybe extra sets of clothing and even a Prussian unform (to impress the VOC officials into giving him a job), a supply of paper and ink, etc.This Jan Stuwaart would later, pobably still the same day, sell the "transportbrief or transportceel" to a "transportkoper or ceelkoper" for a mere f 40,00 to f 80,00. The Volkshouder would usually try to sell the "Transportceel" as soon as possible for a reasonable price in order to pay his debt to the suppliers and to get rid of it before the soldier or sailor who owed him money, died during the voyage. For this reason the "Volkshouders" were also known as a "Ceelverkopers" and synically known as a "Zielverkopers". He sold the 'transportceel/brief' to Coenraat Burgers, who in his turn, some two years later, sold it to Margareta Schonenberg after having cashed in f 47,00 on August the 10th 1736. Margareta Schonenberg cashed in the remainder on August 5th, 1737 (f 47,00) and on August 19, 1738 (f 46,00).
The Oostrust arrives at the Cape of Good Hope on April 4 1735, after more than 7 months of which almost two months were spent at Plymouth, from September to November 1734. Michiel was one of the 63 men to disembark here. He was hospitalized on arrival and remained there for at least two and a half months. It seems he was lucky to survive the long voyage. By august 1735 he was back on duty as soldier and would serve in the company of Fredrik Rhenius for the next two years. The Rhenius family will play a role again later in his life. After serving under Rhenius, Michiel is posted to Rivier-Zonder-End in the 'Verre Gelegen Districten' for the next two years until the end of 1739. This was probaly his first taste of the frontiers and he will choose to settle and raise his family there later on. By the end of 1738 he had also paid the last installment on his debt of the 'transportbrief' as stated above. On January 1, 1740, Michiel signs a one year contract with Albertus Bergh to work for him as a farmhand (knegt) on loan from the VOC. In exchange he was to recieve a salary of f 18 (Cape valuation) per month, as well as full boarding and lodging. This seems like a substantial improvement form his previous salary of f 9 p/m, but the later was Indian valuation which was almost twice as valuable as Cape valuation. Michiel and Albertus prolonged (renewed) their contract for the next five consecutive years; 17 January 1741, 5 February 1742, 13 January 1743, 21 January 1744 and 16 January 1745, each time for period of one year. Albertus Bergh was the brother-in-law of Fredrik Rhenius. Already by the end of 1745, Michiel applies for his Burgher papers and by 1746 he recieves his freedom, "tot vryburger aangestelt" as stated in the Caaps Vryboek of 1746. By this time, Michiel was already settled in the 'Verre gelegen Districten', which would be his home for the rest of his life. In 1744 Johannes Theophilus Rhenius became (adjunct) Landdrost of the 'Ver afgelegenen buiten districten" which later became known as the Colony of Swellendam. He was a nephew of Fredrik Rhenius, and a son of Johannes Tobias Rhenius, also a brother-in-law- of Albertus Bergh On 4 May 1746 he married Adriaantje van Rooijen in Tulbagh in 't Land van Waveren as it was called then. Adriaantje (Adriana) was the daughter of Cornelis van Rooijen and Jacomina Gerritsz van Deventer. On 11 December 1753 he was appointed as Heemraad to the Colony of Swellendam for the first time. He and Pieter Pienaar replaced Esaijas Engelbregt Meijer and Louis Foerie d'oude who both finished their 3 year terms. Michiel served a total of 3 terms as Heemraad for the Colony, namely 1754-1757, 1761-1764 and 1767-1770 (69). He did not complete his last term due to his untimely death and the vacancy was fulfilled by Nicolaas de Bruijn, appointed on 6 September 1769
During most of his life in the Colony of Swellendam, he served in the Civil Dragoons (Burger Militie, Dragonders) of Swellendam. He made his first promotion on 22 August 1747 together with the above mentioned Nicolaas de Bruijn. They were both promoted to Corporals to replace Stephanus Bekker and Daniël le Roux. On 30 January 1753 he is promoted to Cornet and on 2 October 1759 to Lieutenant, replacing Andries Holsthausen who was promoted to Captain. In 1763 he requests the Council of Policy to retire as Lieutenant of the Swellendam Dragoons due to old age and ill health. On 12 April 1763 the request is approved and the Cornet Nicolaas de Bruijn is promoted to Lieutenant to take the place of the retiring Michiel Muller.
In 1747 joined the local army as a 'dragonder', later became a corporal and in 1759 a full Lt., then the 2nd highest rank. In 1760 joined the 'Heemraaad' Discharged in 1763 due to health reasons and died 19 July 1768. His wife Adriana lived a further 21 years.
There is a book "Muller" published 1949 and again updated in 1990 and printed by NBM Drukkers, Yorkweg 5, Port Elizabeth. (ISBN0-620-14387-8.) under directorship of Frof DF du Toit-Malerbe (Danie). At the 3rd Muller Festival in Jan 1990 an update was suggested. They appointed Nel-Marie Muller (Daughter of Pieter & Miemie Swart from Quarrie, Napier, Cape Province) the wife of Pierre Muller from De Leeuwen, Mosselbay.
