Research notes
VELD COMMANDANT, and in that office he certified Koup farms as habitable: on 8 December 1807, when Lucas Martinus SnydersM petitioned Earl Caledon for Barends Kraal and de Drift in Koup, Kruger certified both as 'volkomen bestaanbaar' [SRC-694, citing CO 2560 Petitions for farms]. Admitted under 6 as a man related to this ground through office. [TO VERIFY]
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.

Krugers and Snyderses of the Koup: christened at Beaufort West, married at Prince Albert
priority 2 · LEAD-0376
Are the Krugers and Snyderses that Mossop puts on Koup ground in 1807-1827 the same family that christens at Beaufort West and marries at Prince Albert through the 1820s to 1860s?
What would settle it A baptism or marriage entry naming parents, which would tie the two surnames into one recorded descent on this ground.
