TRANSCRIBED AS READ: 'The above diagram bordered Red and lit B M C E BK T represents 3053 MORGEN & 541 SQUARE ROODS of ground being the farm "WILGE RIVER" originally granted to P.J. WAGENAAR & OTHERS ON THE 30TH JUNE 1832 situate in the F.C. of "BUFFELS KLIP". DIVISION OF UNIONDALE and granted to JOCOBUS LUDOVICUS DU PLESSIS. Bounded N.wds by WINDVOGEL'S KRAAL, N.E.wds by Windvogel's Kraal, E.wds "BRAK KLOOF", S.wds "WILGEHOUT'S RIVER", N.W.te "KOOKOOBOO", W.wds "ROODEKRANZ". Framed from actual Survey by me. (Sgd.) C. B. Blore, S.S.' | THE 1832 GRANT IT CITES IS SRC-508, and the two together are why this pair was worth filing: the same ground, sixty-two years apart, in two different field-cornetcies and two different districts. Other names on the face: Kromlaagte, Drie Fontein, Piets Laagte. | *** THE DISTRICT MOVED AND THE GROUND DID NOT, WHICH IS THE POINT FOR LEAD-0220. *** In 1832 this farm is in the FIELDCORNETCY OF BOVEN OLEPHANTS RIVIER, DISTRICT OF GEORGE. In 1894 the same ground is in the F.C. of BUFFELS KLIP, DIVISION OF UNIONDALE. George was cut out of SWELLENDAM on 23 April 1811 (S044), SO BEFORE 1811 THE BOVEN OLIFANTS RIVIER FIELD-CORNETCY WAS SWELLENDAM. That is an inference from two dated documents and not a third document, and it is stated as one.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
