• He married Maria BIEBOW aged 16. A daughter, Elizabeth was born in 1710 but Maria did not live long after that. On 17 September 1713, Philip married Catharina PASMAN, daughter of Rudolf Pasman and Sophia Schalk van der Merwe.
• The family settled in 1713 on the farm Onverwacht in the Hottentots Holland valley (now Somerset West, about 50kms from Cape Town). The owners of the farm, Claas Elbertsz and Catharina's elder sister, Margaretha Pasman died the smallpox epidemic of 1713 and it passed on to Margaretha's mother, Sophia Pasman. In 1718 it was transferred to Philip. Until the town was established in 1819, the farm was often an overnight stop-over for travellers before tackling the pass over the Hottentots Holland mountains to the interior (Overberg). The Morkel family remained on the farm until the 1990's by when most of it had been absorbed by urban sprawl.
• Children
• Philip Morkel had three children, two daughters and one son Willem, who in turn had four sons (and 6 daughters, of whom two grew up and married).
