Research notes
*** [20 Aug 2026, SRC-093] ONE OF THE EIGHT ORPHANED CHILDREN OF MARTHINUS OOSTHUYZEN, named as the NINTH HEIR of the 1802 estate of their grandparents - 'de kinderen van wylen Marth: Oosthuyzen, te weeten'. Their father PER-000241 was dead by April 1802 and they inherit in his place. THE INVENTORY RECORDS WHERE EACH CHILD WAS LIVING, which is the rare thing about it. The age figure beside his name is bracketed with his brother's and reads as ten, but the bracket makes it uncertain which age belongs to which child. [?10] Living with his uncle PIETER CORNELIS OOSTHUYZEN.
