Others of the same name

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.

What we don't know

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

Research notes

[SRC-249] First-named child on his father's 1863 death notice. [FS] Married ANNA CORNELIA VAN DER WESTHUISEN on 31 January 1859 in the church of the parish of Beaufort, and the marriage register gives the couple's residence as "Welge Mond" - which FamilySearch indexes as Welgemoed, a Cape Town suburb, but which is far more likely WILGEMOND No. 179 (PAR-000087), the farm this family holds. Named for his grandfather, per the Cape naming pattern.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
