Research notes
[SRC-598] FATHER OF ALETTA FRANCINA BOTHMA (PER-000349), named on the estate index only as the husband his widow is listed against: 'Joh:a Barendina Visser, Widow of Abraham Christoffel', filed 1830. Dead before that year.
IDENTIFIED AS THE 1759 SON of Stephanus BotmaM and Aletta Fransina Mouton because he is the only Abraham Christoffel on the cards old enough to father a child in 1794; the others are born 1808 and 1833. That is an inference from name and period and it is not proven. [TO VERIFY]
IF IT HOLDS: he is a brother of Stephanus BotmaM (PER-001937), which makes his daughter a first cousin of Lodewyk BothmaM of Spreeufontein, and ties Rondabel's co-grantee to the Spreeufontein house by blood rather than by surname.
