In the model because this project holds its original survey diagram: erfpachtland of 1470 morgen, surveyed 4 October 1821 for Marthinus Schoeman; Geo. Q. 5.3 [SG 240/1821]

The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Buffelsvalley No. 18 (Oudtshoorn) is in the model and drawn on the map, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
