[2026-09-23, SRC-684] HIS WIDOW'S GOODS, MOOC8/75.31, July 1780: the opstal 'de Hooge Heuvel geleege aan Vals Revier', the stock counted at Tiegerfontein (29 cattle, 34 trek oxen, 736 sheep, 9 horses) and at Klipdrift 'bij de jonge Gert Oosthuijse' (150 cattle, 403 sheep).

What the record is missing
-
An estate taken on ground we cannot place
second order · B6 loose-doc
DOC-0381 (MOOC8/75.31, 1780-07-29) lists a household's whole movable estate, which means officials went to where that household lived. It says “the opstal de Hooge Heuvel aan Vals Revier; the stock counted at Tiegerfontein and at Klipdrift” and no more. No parcel is attached, so the family it describes sits nowhere on the map.
What would settle it The inventory's own heading usually names the farm and the field-cornetcy; where it does not, the deceased's quitrent or opgaaf entry for that year will. This is the shape that produced the de Bruin/Rondabel find.
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.
