Jacobus Johannes Oosthuizen marries Anna Magdalena Strydom at Uitenhage

6 March 1808 · family · Uitenhage

Five months after his brother married a Venter at Swellendam, 458 km the other way. The bride is a sister of DAVID JAN STRYDOM, who was granted Rondabel in 1841, and the groom a brother of Ockert Almero of Middelwater - so this one marriage ties the Olifants ground to the Koup a generation before either grant. See 'Two weddings, five months apart'.
