What this establishes

"Ana Boota wedewe van Jan Oosthuijse de oude ik heb mijn goed alle met regt late opschrijve van twee gloofbaare mensche." Fourteen lines, in the widow's own voice, written down by an Olivier: fifty cattle, three hundred and eighteen sheep, a half-worn wagon, a chest, two pots, a food cupboard, two chairs, a table, a sieve, a butter vat, a churn, a half-aam, a tea pot, four forks, four plates, a bolster, a blanket, a pillow, a kettle, three buckets, a dish, a saw, a scraper, a soldering iron, two adzes, a brace, a pan, a pair of silver buckles, a pair of silver cuff buttons, a fire chain and a plough hook. One debt: Rd 65:2 for shop goods.

No farm, and no children named. The sheet is the last trace of the couple whose sons held Welbedagt (MOOC8/50.101) and the Modder Fenteijn on the Kafferkuils (MOOC8/16.11), and it is the earliest Oosthuizen estate in this collection from the Swellendam country.
