The citation as it was given
[16 Sep 2026] Read by a reading pass into data/opgaaf_land.csv; the Modder Fontyn line checked against the page. 69 households; the heading, veldcornet and names of lines 1-25 were on missing image 515. Printed English form. MODDER FONTYN on image 517 line 36 / 518 (checked against the page): DANIEL JAC. ERASMUS, single, 6000 vines, 4 leagers wine, 2 brandy, 1 quit rent farm; on the row after Joachim Prinslo's WANHOOP. The same man with the same 6000 vines is 'Moeras Fontyn' in 1825 (SRC-642). Also Stephanus Esaias Terblans Sr x Margaretha Marais, no place. Ward No. 10 before it has '[?R]ust fontyn and Voorzorg', 2 quit rent, holder on missing image 513 (Salomon Terblans held 2 quit rent farms of that description in 1825).
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.
