J. de Kock C. zoon

(17*-18*) A performer in Amateur theatre in Cape town in the 1830s.

Born in Cape Town, possibly a local businessman. He is one of a number of persons named De Kock active in theatre between 1825 and 183*. However, it is unclear whether the individuals referred to variously as Johannes Jakobus de Kock, J.J. de Kock, J. de Kock or J. de Kock C. zoon by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 231) are all the same person, as Bosman suggests,  or are possibly only relations.

Someone billed as J. de Kock C. zoon was definitely a member of the amateur society Vlyt en Kunst, appearing in as "Leonora" in Clasius (by C.E. Boniface) on 19 July 1834.
