Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Which Jacobus Johannes Oosthuizen was Vrolykheid surveyed for in 1833, and what does "As. son" mean?
priority 1 · LEAD-0213
Diagram B355/1833 reads "Surveyed for Jacobus Johannes OosthuizenL As. son". Whose son, and which Jacobus Johannes?
What would settle it THE DEATH NOTICE OF JACOBUS JOHANNES OOSTHUIZEN, who died 29 October 1867 - it names the father and usually the farm, and it should sit in the same FamilySearch collection as SRC-077, 'Cape, Probate Records of the Master of the High Court, 1822-1990'. That is now the cheapest test and it is cheaper than the deeds office. | Then the ORIGINAL 1833 MANUSCRIPT diagram at the SG office, because what this project holds is a 1963 typed copy and the disputed word is the typist's. | Then title deed Bf.W.Q.5-1[?] of 15 April 1841.
