Die historiese grootte en die moderne opgemete oppervlakte is twee aparte metings en word hier nie aangebied asof hulle mekaar bevestig nie. Die eerste is wat 'n landmeter op 'n kaart geskryf het, gewoonlik in morg. Die tweede is wat die moderne kadaster teken.

Waarom hierdie plaas hier is

Cornelis Andries Oosthuizen het dit gehou. 7 km van Klaarstroom.

Cornelis Andries Oosthuizen is regstreeks op hierdie grond aangeteken. Geen spoor nodig nie.

set here Die portrette wat op Middelwater gekry is
Twee geraamde portretsketse uit 'n solder op Klueplaas, wat ou Middelwater-grond is. Geen naam op die rugpapier nie. 'n Sterk omstandigheidsaak dat dit Ockert Almero Oosthuizen en Aletta Hitge is, en geen bewys nie. Die beelde word NIE gepubliseer nie: toestemming is nie gevra nie.
about this farm Die vyftiende April 1841
Een landmeter meet die Koup twee seisoene lank op. Agt jaar later, op een dag, maak die Kroon 'n dosyn leningsplase titelgrond - en die distrik se kaart lê vir 'n eeu vas.
mentions this farm Almero
'n Venesiaanse tiener in die Kompanjie se diens staan in 1786 peetvader by 'n Kaapse doop. Ses geslagte Karoo-boere dra sy naam, en niemand weet meer waarom nie.
mentions this farm Rondabel Nr. 124: 'n plaasgeskiedenis
Van 'n weduwee wat met 'n merk geteken het tot die Marincowitz-plaas van vandag: die gedokumenteerde geskiedenis van Rondabel Nr. 124 - die Venter-huishouding van 1829, die toekenningsdag van 1841, die Oosthuizen-Theron-vennootskap van 1868, die onderverdelings van 1910-34, en die twee grafte by die opstal wat niemand nog gelees het nie.
about this farm Middelwater Nr. 169: 'n plaasgeskiedenis
Van 'n leningsplaas in die Swartberg tot agt kadastrale persele: die gedokumenteerde geskiedenis van Middelwater Nr. 169 - Stretch se opmeting van 1833 vir Okert Oosthuizen, die toekenningsdag van 1841, die heropmeting van 1883 en die kwitrent van 1884 aan J.D.J. Oosthuysen 'and another', die gedeeltes wat afgesny is vir 'n fontein genaamd Vaste Water en 'n plek genaamd Avondrust, en die kraglynopmeting van 1990 waarvan die koördinate die plaas uiteindelik op 'n kaart gesit het.
mentions this farm Vrolykheid Nr. 177: 'n plaasgeskiedenis
Die plaas waar die papier en die mense verskil. Stretch se opmeting van 1833 dra al klaar die name van gedeeltes wat eers 'n eeu later gesny word; twee titels gaan op een dag in 1841 uit, een aan 'n Oosthuisen en een aan 'n 'N. Hitge' wie se akte deur vier latere gedeeltes aangehaal word; 'n Triëstenaar trou in 1844 met 'n Hitge en hou die plaas toe hy in 1890 sterf; en 'n sterfkennis sit die Hitges uiteindelik self op die grond.
mentions this farm De Claar Stroom: die plaas waarop die dorp staan
Die leningsplaas De Claar Stroom (Klaarstroom Nr. 178), in 1777 toegeken, is die grond waarop die dorpie Klaarstroom staan - moenie dit verwar met Klaarstroom Nr. 184 nie, Christian Hatting se toekenning 19 km wes. Meiringspoort gaan in 1858 oop; sewe-en-twintig erwe word op Petrus Oosthuizen se grond uitgelê en die dorpie word Petersburg na hom genoem. Die erwe is SONDER oewerregte verkoop. Wie Petrus was, is steeds onbekend, en die een toetsbare ding oor hom is 'n broer met die naam Ockert.
set here Die swaer wat 'n dorp gestig het
Twee dogters van Middelwater trou in die 1830's met twee van Zyl-broers. Die een bly. Die ander gaan noord op die trek en is teen omtrent 1840 dood. Haar man leef nog ses-en-sestig jaar en lê op sy plaas Keerom die Vrystaatse dorp Brandfort uit - in druk beskryf as 'n Voortrekker van Prins Albert.
mentions this farm Die kerkie op Zeekoegat
Drie geslagte Oosthuizens in die Zwartberg-gemeente, en die welgestelde boer wat op sy eie grond, 65 km ver op die grondpad, vir honderd mense 'n kerkie gebou het.
mentions this farm Die monsterrol
Nege velde in 'n VOC-grootboek: 'n jong man van Woerden - of Werden, of Werl - vaar by Texel uit met sy passasie by die Kompanjie geskuld, sien Tafelbaai 127 dae later, en hou vyf jaar daarna op om dienaar te wees. Almal in hierdie projek stam uit daardie besluit.
mentions this farm Drie plase in een akte: Anna Margaretha, 1937
Op 20 Desember 1937 dra een transportakte drie plase en 11 897 morg oor in die naam van Anna Margaretha Marincowitz, gebore Oosthuizen - Tokkie se ma, en een van net sewe vroue in hierdie model wat grond op hulle eie naam gehou het. Haar vader is veertien maande tevore oorlede, en haar broer neem dieselfde dag die aangrensende gedeelte.
mentions this farm Twee plase wat Vrolykheid heet
Twee plase met een naam, 400 km uitmekaar. Die Tulbagh-kaart van 1816 noem vier bure; twee van daardie vanne duik in die Koup op en net EEN hou stand as jy behoorlik kyk. Jan de Bruin, wie se boedel in 1823 'n plaas met die naam Rondabel gehou het, is in 1769 op Tulbagh gedoop. Maar die Theron wat Rondabel in 1868 geneem het, was 'n Roggeveld-man, en daardie draad is 'n toeval van vanne wat hier as een aangemeld word.
mentions this farm Een-en-tagtig duisend morg
Frederik Simon 'Oom Frikkie' Oosthuizen sterf in 1936 met, volgens een weergawe, 81 000 morg om Zwartkraal, omtrent 'n kwart van al die grond op hierdie kaart. Hierdie projek besit nie een akte op sy naam nie. Waarin die geld waarskynlik gesit het, waarin dit beslis nie gesit het nie, en watter een dokument die saak sou uitmaak.
set here Twee-en-dertig jaar
Adriana Cecilia Venter het veertien kinders gehad, van 1808 tot omstreeks 1840. Sy was sestien by die eerste en omtrent agt-en-veertig by die laaste. Die twee-en-dertig jaar daartussen is presies die tydperk waarin hierdie familie sy grond gevat het.
mentions this farm Gesny, en toe weer aanmekaargewerk
Hierdie projek het 124 grensdade op rekord: 96 onderverdelings en 20 konsolidasies. Gesorteer op datum vertel hulle een storie met 'n draaipunt. Die distrik het honderd-en-vyftig jaar lank net gesny; van 1970 af word net weer aanmekaargewerk.
mentions this farm Die plaas waarop hy gebore is
Jan Adriaan Venter is in 1823 op Wolve Kraal gebore, is op vyf wees gelaat en van die plaas af weg, het dit op een-en-dertig gekoop, dit op drie-en-dertig gehalveer en die helfte na homself vernoem, en dit toe sewe-en-dertig jaar lank stuk vir stuk verkoop.
mentions this farm Vier-en-twintig maande
Tussen Februarie 1858 en Februarie 1860 kry die Koup 'n pad see toe, begrawe die egpaar waaruit die hele distrik stam, lê 'n dorp uit, laat Kroongrond op sy oostelike rand opmeet, en loop die bedryf raak wat die volgende veertig jaar sou betaal.
mentions this farm Die woorde op die papiere
Elke aanhaling hieronder kom uit 'n dokument in hierdie projek se eie versameling. Niks hier is opgesoek nie; die woordelys was reeds in die papiere.
mentions this farm Kopjes Kraal: 'n plaas wat 'n kwart van homself verloor het, en 'n pad wat niemand gebruik nie
Crown land surveyed in 1859 at 6,325 morgen and resurveyed four years later at 4,982 - about 1,343 morgen fewer, unexplained. Granted in 1871 to Gerolm Marincowitz of Trieste, whose surname reaches the Karoo from the Adriatic and not from the Netherlands. A stock route across it was ended by a line in a provincial gazette in 1926, and half of what was left became Kromrivier in 1934.
mentions this farm Vier grootouers, vier lande
Elkeen van die vier grootouers het sy eie bladsy. Hierdie een gaan oor hoe hulle bymekaargekom het, wat drie troues, vier jaar en een man wat in twee van hulle ingetrou het, gekos het. En oor die titel se belofte: vier lande, waarvan net een op 'n kaart aangewys kan word.
set here Die Oosthuizens van die Koup
Die familie waaroor die rekord hier die diepste loop. Agt geslagte ooswaarts, van 'n soldaat wat in 1685 op Tafelbaai se strand stap tot 'n boer wat in 1909 op Prince Albert gedoop word. 'n Boedelinventaris van 1809 wys 'n smidsvuur op die Olifantsrivier en verklaar meteens waarom die familie weg is: die plaas is aan die oudste seun verkoop, en die res moes grond gaan soek.

Navorsingsnotas

Oosthuizen ancestral farm [29 Jul 2026] Neighbour Reim Hoogte (No.167) confirmed as N/W boundary via its own 1833 diagram, DOC-0070 - not itself a tracked parcel. [30 Jul 2026] All eight cadastral parcels on farm 169 are now in the model (PAR-000075-081 plus Vaste Water and Avondrust). THIS ROW REMAINS THE WHOLE FARM as granted, and its outline therefore overlaps its own portions - the two are different claims about the same ground, a century apart, and both are kept. AREA, AND THE UNIT TRAP THAT GOES WITH IT. The grant is 10,731 MORGEN 100 roods, which is 9,191.6 ha; the bare number 10,731 read as hectares overstates the farm by a sixth, and these sheets change units mid-table (DOC-0219 has one row in morgen and the next in hectares). Note also that PAR-000077 and PAR-000078 are Portion 2 and Portion 2 Remainder, so summing every row on farm 169 counts that ground twice. WHAT THE ARITHMETIC ACTUALLY SAYS, corrected 9 Aug 2026 after THEY ARE NOT. The cadastre holds both: Portion 2 at 936.9 ha (...169000020) and its Remainder at 382.5 (...169000021), and the 554.4 ha between them is PORTION 7 to the tenth of a hectare. Both rows had been pinned to the Remainder's key, which is why the site showed two parcels at one area. THE FARM TILES LIKE THIS: Remainder 378.4 + Ptn 1 2,351.7 + PTN 2 REMAINDER 382.5 + Ptn 3 3,544.8 + Ptn 4 846.1 + Ptn 5 9.1 + Ptn 6 876.9 + PTN 7 554.4 = 8,943.9 ha, against this outline's 8,944.0 and its polygon's 8,949.9. Count the Remainder of Portion 2 and Portion 7, or count Portion 2 whole, never both. An earlier version of this paragraph reached the same total by dropping PAR-000078 as a duplicate and keeping PAR-000077 at 382.5 - the right number from the wrong two rows. The only real gap left is between the 1883 grant, 9,191.6 ha, and the modern outline, 8,949.9: 241.7 ha or 2.6%. A chain-and-compass survey of 1883 read against modern coordinates will differ by about that much, and no deduction is needed to account for it, but this project has not proved which it is. [TO VERIFY]

[SRC-010, Rose Willis Klaarstroom cameo. TERTIARY, TO VERIFY] 'The original farmhouse at Middelwater is also an interesting building. It has yellowwood ceilings, wall cupboards and ancient stairs to its loft.' It says the KLUE FAMILY hold it, and hold a nearby farm with an old Devonshire cob-style straw and mud-brick house under a brakdak. We hold no modern owner for Middelwater. Klue/Klueplaas is already in this project.

[1 Aug 2026, SRC-186] A PRIMARY PLACE FOR THE ARRIVAL YEAR. The Beaufort West baptism register has Cornelis Andries Oosthuijzen and Johanna Magdalena Petronella Strijdom's son born 'AAN KRIEDOUW' on 26 July 1821 and baptised 19 August. This model dates the Oosthuizen establishment at Middelwater to about 1821 (EVT-000002) - so here is the same couple, dated, in that year, at a named place that is not Middelwater. It either corroborates the arrival, refines it or moves it, and Kriedouw has to be located first. See LEAD-0052.

[6 Aug 2026, SRC-294] [FAMILY] A VAN ZYL HOUSEHOLD LIVING HERE BETWEEN THE SURVEY AND THE GRANT. Fred van Zyl states that his great-grandfather Jan Adriaan van Zyl was born on Middelwater on 9 November 1839 - so Wynand van ZylM and Johanna Jacomina OosthuizenM (PER-000122), the root couple's eldest daughter, were living on her father's farm after their marriage, in the years between Stretch's 1833 survey and the 1841 quitrent grant. This model held the marriage and not the residence. A married daughter's household on the home farm is entirely ordinary and that is rather the point: it is the kind of fact deeds never record and only a family remembers. The November 1839 baptism entry names the farm. [TO VERIFY] LEAD-0110.

[8 Aug 2026] THE FARM LEAVES THE FAMILY IN JUNE 1884. Thwaits's resurvey (DOC-0001) and its verso (DOC-0039) have now both been read. The quitrent title P.A.Q.3-3 issued to "J. D. J. Oosthuysen, and another" on 24 March 1884; the verso's first deduction transfers 9,264 morgen 180 roods away on 26 June 1884, THREE MONTHS LATER AND 86% OF THE FARM. What remains is exactly 477 morgen, the south-western quarter carrying the werf, the vineyard, Vaste Water and Avondrust. Sale or partition between the two co-grantees is undecided and the co-grantee is unnamed: LEAD-0136. The farm also GREW between its two surveys, from Stretch's 8,843 morgen in 1833 to 10,731 morgen 100 roods in 1883, and its 1833 "Government ground" neighbours to the north and east are named farms by 1883.

Oop vrae

The 1821 Beaufort West opgaafrol prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0003
Which field cornetcy were the Oosthuizens in when they first appear in the Koup - and does the roll name their loan place?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The roll entry itself. Tax rolls are organised BY FIELD CORNETCY - the residential unit - not by town, which is exactly why they beat baptism registers for this question.
Morgen or hectares? extent_text may be inconsistent prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0007
Are the figures in parcels.extent_text really morgen, or are some of them hectares mislabelled as morgen?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Reading the figure and its unit directly off the diagrams for the nine flagged parcels.
Was Middelwater Portion 3 known as Droge Kloof? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0023
Portion 3 is 4,251 ha, two fifths of the original Middelwater, and no document we hold names it. A homestead called Droge Kloof stands on it. Is that the portion's name, and who took it off the farm, and when?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A diagram or deed naming the portion. The cadastre already gives it a key (3/169), so the SG holds a diagram for it - ordering that one sheet probably answers the whole question.
Is Venters Kloof named for Adriana Cecilia Venter's family - and did the Oosthuizens follow them to the Koup? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0027
Venters Kloof No. 168 lies immediately north of Middelwater No. 169, and the root ancestor Ockert Almero OosthuizenL married ADRIANA CECILIA VENTER. Did her family hold that kloof, and is that why the Oosthuizens ended up on the ground next to it?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A Venter named as holder or grantee of No. 168. Equally decisive the other way: a grantee of another surname, which would make the name a fossil of an earlier occupier and kill the family connection.
Who was Petrus Oosthuizen of Klaarstroom, and how is he related? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0029
The village at the centre of this project's anchor was laid out on his land in 1858-60 and originally named Petersburg for him. He is not in the model's family. Where does he sit, and is he a descendant of the root couple?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The death notice - it names parents, spouses and surviving children.
Where is Drooge Kloof, the house Frans's father grew up in? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0064
Drooge Kloof is a werf name in family use - Frans's father grew up in the house - and it is NOT a farm name in the Prince Albert cadastre. It appears twice in the paper, on two DIFFERENT pieces of ground: as the Government ground annexed into Middelwater No. 169 by the 1833 diagram, and as a struck-through 'Droege Kloof' against Portion 3 of Bloemendal Annex No. 164 on its 1913 verso. Which one is the family's?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Frans saying which farm the house is on, or a coordinate.
Was a van Zyl household living on Middelwater in 1839, and was Jacobus Johannes on Vrolikheid in 1809? prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0110
Fred van Zyl states that his great-grandfather Jan Adriaan van Zyl was born on Middelwater on 9 November 1839, and that Ockert Jacobus OosthuizenL was born on Vrolikheid in 1809. Both would put named households on this project's core ground a generation earlier than its documents do.

Wat dit sou uitmaak The two baptism entries. Each names the farm and the parents in the same line.
Who was the "and another" who took 86% of Middelwater in June 1884 prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0136
The 1884 quitrent title to Middelwater No. 169 issued to "J. D. J. Oosthuysen, and another", and the co-grantee is not named on the diagram. Three months later 9,264 morgen 180 roods - 86% of the farm - transferred away under transfer 304 of 26 June 1884. Who was the second grantee, and was that transfer a sale out of the family or a partition between the two of them?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The grant P.A.Q.3-3 or transfer 304, either of which names the second party.
Wilgemond's diagram number: 150/1833, or 350 mis-transcribed in 1952? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0025
Every other farm in Stretch's August 1833 run carries a diagram number between 348 and 369, and their quitrent folios rise with them. Wilgemond is numbered 150/1833 yet holds folio 5-9, which falls exactly inside that run. Is the number wrong?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The original diagram, or the SG's index of 1833 Prince Albert diagrams.
Who does the 1841 Middelwater deed actually name? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0099
Middelwater No. 169's 1841 quitrent title, Bf.W.Q. 5-7, names no grantee on the copy this project holds. Who does the register name?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The register page: volume 5, folio 7.
Diagram 6954/90 is not held prioriteit 3 · LEAD-0016
Middelwater carries two 1990 Eskom servitude diagrams, 6955-90 and 6954/90, under one survey record E 131/90. We hold 6955-90 in full and only the endorsement sheet of 6954/90. What ground does 6954/90 cover?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The diagram itself; it will carry its own Lo23 coordinate table.
De Claar Stroom: one parcel or two? prioriteit 3 · LEAD-0039
PAR-000004 is the 1777 loan farm De Claar Stroom and PAR-000097 is cadastral farm 178, the ground Klaarstroom village stands on. Should they be one parcel row or two?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The extent on the 178 title, compared with the loan farm's described run. If they are the same ground, one row; if 178 is a part, two.
Is Arthur Kleu the painter one of the Kleus of Klueplaas? And is Kleu the same surname as Klue? prioriteit 3 · LEAD-0125
Frans holds a painting of MEIRINGSPOORT by ARTHUR LIONEL KLEU (1915-2008), a shopkeeper, inherited from his grandfather. Middelwater carries the werf name KLUEPLAAS. Are they one family, and are Kleu and Klue one surname?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A common ancestor, or a Kleu/Klue baptism at Prince Albert or Klaarstroom in the nineteenth century that ties either line to the district.

Wat die rekord kortkom

The record stops in 1884 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Middelwater was worked as far as 1884-03-24, with Jacobus Daniel Johannes OosthuizenH and Oosthuysen co-ownerH (unidentified) the last owner on record. 142 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.
43 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession
On Middelwater, an unnamed holder is the last owner recorded from 1841-04-15, and the next entry is Jacobus Daniel Johannes OosthuizenH and Oosthuysen co-ownerH (unidentified) from 1884-03-24, 43 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0001 records the later arrival but not the 43 years before it.

What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1841 and 1884. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.
“Remhoogte” is named as a neighbour 3 times and we hold no parcel for it second order · B3 unheld-farm
3 separate surveys in this model put Remhoogte on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000001, PAR-000009). It has no parcel of its own here, so nothing is known about who held it or when, while it borders farms at the centre of the project.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's farm index for the registration division will give it a farm number and a diagram; the cadastre pull in `data/fetch_cadastre.py` then places it on the map.
A tenure with no one in it second order · B7 no-owner
OWN-000027 records a grant on Middelwater from 1841-04-15 and names no party. Either the holder was never read off the document, or the publishing rule withheld them, the page cannot tell you which, and neither can this.

What would settle it Re-read DOC-0038.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
