A life in the record

1. August 1833 event Wilgamount and Klein Valie surveyed by C. Lennox Stretch
   Two more of Stretch's August 1833 loan-farm surveys, both in C. Hatting's Zwarte Berg field cornetcy: Wilgamount for Martinus van Veuren and Klein Valie for Christian Hatting Junior. Both take in a piece of the Government ground called The Ape.
2. August 1833 event Reim Hoogte and Venters Kloof surveyed by C. Lennox Stretch
   Two more of Stretch's August 1833 surveys in C. Hatting's Zwartberg ward, both touching Middelwater: Reim Hoogte for William Gouse, and Venters Kloof - a HALF loan farm, and the only sheet in the run that names no holder at all.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
