Biography
- Magistrate at George
- On 26 August 1863 the town of Oudtshoorn was proclaimed, being named after the Baron Pieter van Rheede van Oudtshoorn, who died in January 1773 while at sea, travelling to the Cape to take over as Governor. Two of his sons were already resident at the Cape, having accompanied him to the colony when he was an official in Cape Town (ending up as Secunde), and the barons widow Sophia, too, settled at the Cape. The town was in fact named by the Civil Commissioner of George, Egbertus Bergh, in honour of his wife, Geesje, a granddaughter of the baron.
