What we don't know
- No birth date is recorded.
- No death date is recorded.
- Neither parent is recorded, so this person is not attached to the tree above them.
- No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
- Nothing dated is recorded about them at all, they are here because another record names them.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Open questions
-
Three Koup farms named only in Mossop: Palmietfontein, de Drift, Barends Kraal
priority 2 · LEAD-0374
Where are de Palmietfontein in the Koup, de Drift in Koup, and Barends Kraal in the Klein Zwartberg?
What would settle it A diagram or a quitrent entry giving any of the three a farm number. Until then they are names without ground - 5, NO-POLYGON and a lead, never a guess.
-
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.
