From 1692 through to 1695 Adriana Tol is listed in the muster rolls as living in Stellenbosch with Jan Smit, but in 1696 she is listed as 'the widow of Jan Smith' (this muster roll made no note of children) and in 1698 'the widow of Jan Smith with 6 children'. De Kaap de Goede Hoop; een Nederlandse vestigingskolonie, 1680-1730, by Ad Biewenga, Amsterdam, Prometheus/Bert Bakker, 1999, page 270. Biewenga's sources are given as: 1/STB 18/153 11 okt 1696 and 1/STB 18/153 6 june 1697

I now have a fairly firm date for the death of Jan Smit - October 1696. For a short (translated) account of what appears in Biewenga's book see: http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/smit/I224.html which contains the total amount of what I have been able to find out about him.

In his will of 1722 reference is made to his mother, Adriana Tol, the widow of Andreas Cuijper.
His birth date is a guess based partly on the Muster Rolls where Jan Smit and Adriana Tol are credited with four children in 1692 and five in 1693 and partly on naming convention whereby a son named after Jan Smit's side of the family should appear between Jacobus and Alewijn (both named, I assume, for Adriana Tol' s side of the family)
In 1724/5 he signed a memorial to the Council of Justice as one of the farmers of Stellenbosch. (HCV Leibbrandt - Requesten, vol 3, 1715 - 1806)
On 17th April 1729 he and his wife, Maria van Staden, were witnesses at the baptism of his nephew Francois Smit, the son of Jacobus Smit and Elisabeth Slabbert (Cape Town Baptism Register).
At the end of 1729 the couple were presented with a ready made family of their own in the shape of Elsje, Cicilia, Hendrik and Sophia van Rensburg, the orphaned children of Maria's mother, Aletta Willems van der Merwe, who had died on 30th September 1729.
At the session of the Orphan Chamber 21 November 1729 it was recorded that these children were to live with their brother-in-law Frans Smit.
On 23rd November 1742 they were both again witnesses at the baptism of her nephew, Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg, at the Drakenstein Church.
(These last three facts from the amazing Van Rensburg web site created
by André van Rensburg).
16 :
Hy was die seun van Jan Smit en Adriana Tol, en was getroud met Maria van
Staden, die dogter van Marthinus van Staden en Aletta van der Merwe. Hy het
in vennootskap met sy broer, Alewijn, geboer. Smit is in 1758 oorlede. (Sien
M.O.O.C. 7/10, Testamenten, 1757/1758, no. 53.)

According to what I can find, she and her husband, Alewijn Smit de Oude, made their joint will on 2nd February 1774 and she died on 11 January 1778 according to the Death Rolls (1758-1833) held in the Cape Archives:
