Stories

mentions 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.

Navorsingsnotas

1777 loan farm; parent of Middelwater + Klaarstroom

[31 Jul 2026, audit] RENAMED to distinguish it from PAR-000097. The two are NOT duplicates and the collision was mine: I added PAR-000097 for cadastral farm 178 after searching the model for 'Klaarstroom' and not for 'Claar', so I never saw this row. They are the same GROUND at two scales - this is the 1777 loan farm as a whole, which the cameo has running from Middelwater to Vrolikheid, and PAR-000097 is the 7,259 ha modern farm 178 surviving out of it. The model already expresses that relationship for Middelwater (PLK-000001, subdivision), and PAR-000097 now has the same link. WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE ONE PARCEL is a real question and is recorded as a lead rather than decided here.

*** [4 Aug 2026, FRANS, FAMILY] DIE TWEE DE CLAAR STROOM-RYE IS EEN PLAAS. *** [FAMILY] De claar stroom 178 and the other overlapping farm is the same. So PAR-000004, recorded here as the 1777 LOAN FARM, and PAR-000097, KLAARSTROOM No. 178, are the same ground under two epochs of record - the loan farm before survey, and the registered farm after it. They are not two farms and must not be counted, mapped or linked as two. WHAT WAS CHECKED BEFORE ACTING: no polygon in this model actually overlaps 178 except at the shared edges of its neighbours, so 'overlapping' means the two RECORDS overlap, not two shapes. PAR-000004 carries no farm number, no polygon and no centroid; PAR-000097 carries farm 178, its polygon and 7 259,5 ha. THE ROW IS KEPT, NOT DELETED - ids are permanent - and PAR-000004 stays as the record of the loan-farm epoch, which is where the 1777 date and the descent of Middelwater hang. It must never be pinned: there is only one piece of ground here and PAR-000097 is the one that carries it. This closes the De Claar Stroom third of LEAD-0080.

Oop vrae

Three farms carry the same name twice or three times, and ten story links are held back because of it prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0080
Which Rietfontein, which De Claar Stroom, and is Sleutelfontein (Groot and Klein) a real parcel or a composite of two?

Wat dit sou uitmaak For each mention, which parcel the sentence means. For Sleutelfontein, whether PAR-000098 should exist at all given PAR-000071/072.
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.

Wat die rekord kortkom

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
De Claar Stroom (the 1777 loan farm) is in the model, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

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.
