Notes |
- Military officer, bank commissioner, and landdros,
Van Kervel joined the VOC in 1774 and in 1782 arrived at the Cape from the East as an ensign. After that he gained the ranks of lieutenant (1786), Platzmajor (local commandant) (1789), and captain (1789).
In 1804 he was appointed commissioner of the Loan Bank, also known as the Lombard Bank, which was established at the Cape on 15.3.1793 to save the country from imminent economic ruin. It was state controlled, and in its capacity as a lending, but not a deposit, bank lent paper money on short term. The duty of the commissioners, of whom van Kervel was one, was to be responsible for the general management of the bank.
In 1811 he was appointed the first landdros of the George district and was stationed at the government post Outeniqualand.
In June he began to plan and lay out a town that was given the same name as the district, planting two rows of oak trees along the wide streets and appointing the first elders and deacons of the Cape church there. He was the landdros at George during the 'Swarte Ommegang' (Black Circuit) of 1812 during which many cases involving Non-Whites were tried, and which lasted for almost four months. It was a very harassing time for the colonists since numbers of White families were accused and summonsed, even more called as witnesses, and one-third of the able-bodied men dispatched to help guard the eastern border. Van Kervel had his hands full, trying to deal with all the problems. He was the landdros at George until 1819 when he retired because of illness and age, after which he was given a pension.
On 30.9.1792 van Kervel married Johanna Hendrika Loubser, widow of Martinus Westerhof. They had no children. The special school for mentally handicapped children at George was named after him, and his family coat of arms, carved on a large stinkwood shield, is preserved in the local museum.
