Navorsingsnotas

[2026-09-23, SRC-670] THE PLACE OF PIETER CORNELIS OOSTHUIJSEN, NAMED AT LAST. MOOC8/23.3 (22 January 1800) was taken 'ter plaatze van den burger Pieter Cornelis Oosthuijsen, gen:d de Kleine Doornrivier gel: agter de Platte Kloof', which is the farm that MOOC8/24.27 (April 1802) called only 'ter plaatse van Pieter Cornelis Oosthuysen': the estates of his brother Marthinus and of his parents Jacobus d'oude and Dina Carolina Brits were both given in here, and the parents died here (RES-000051 to 053). THE PIN, MEDIUM: two cadastre farms carry the name. Riversdale No. 1 (1182 ha, 20.96E 33.86S) lies on the Klein Karoo side of the Langeberg, 18 km beyond Riversdale's Platte Kloof No. 90 and 27 km from Okkerskraal, in the Ladismith country where this household's other places sit (Mistkraal on the Touwsberg, MOOC8/56.13a; Buffelskloof 'over de Plattekloof' and Okkerskraal, MOOC8/57.36a). Oudtshoorn No. 216 is 20 km beyond George's Platte Kloof No. 131 but a hundred kilometres from that cluster. The cluster decides, and it is a judgement: [TO VERIFY] on a diagram or a roll that names the Doornrivier with a neighbour. PREQUEL GROUND under 9a; NEVER core.

[2026-09-23, SRC-689] THE SECOND CANDIDATE, WEIGHED AND LEFT OPEN. The siblings' other places all resolve by name to Ladismith farms: Mistkraal is Ladismith No. 121 on the Touwsberg, Buffelskloof Ladismith No. 97, Okkerskraal Ladismith No. 200, and all three lie within thirty kilometres of this farm, which sits behind the Langeberg's Platte Kloof No. 90 exactly as the 1800 clerk wrote it; MOOC8/60.16b (1814) puts the same family's Eilands Valei 'agter de Platte Kloof onder het district van Zwellendam', which after 1811 excludes the Kannaland. That is why the pin stays here. AGAINST IT: Appel's Tabel 1.5 (SRC-689) has a Doringrivier at the Cango from 1760 and a Groot Doringrivier under O. Heyns from 1766, and the cadastre's Oudtshoorn No. 216, KLEIN DOORN RIVIER (1350 ha, key W045C054000000000216000000), lies 5 km from George No. 83 GROOT DOORNS RIVIER and 7 km from the loan place Pieter Cornelis's father held in 1765 (PAR-000337); on that reading the Platte Kloof is George's No. 131, twenty kilometres to its south-east. The rolls decide it: LEAD-0364.

Oop vrae

Which Platte Kloof did the clerks mean - is Pieter Cornelis's Kleine Doornrivier the Riversdale farm or the Oudtshoorn one? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0364
MOOC8/23.3 (1800) puts Pieter Cornelis Oosthuijsen's farm at 'de Kleine Doornrivier gel: agter de Platte Kloof'; MOOC8/57.36b (1808) puts his brother Gerrit Johannes's Buffelskloof 'over de Platekloof'; MOOC8/60.16b (1814) puts J.H.C. Oosthuijzen's Eilands Valei 'agter de Platte Kloof onder het district van Zwellendam'. The cadastre has a Platte Kloof in the Langeberg above Riversdale (No. 90) and one in George (No. 131), and a Kleine Doorn Rivier behind each: Riversdale No. 1 and Oudtshoorn No. 216. Which Platte Kloof is the landmark, and so which farm was his?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A roll or register that names the Kleine Doornrivier with a district, a field cornetcy or a neighbour; or Pieter Cornelis on a George roll, which would move it. THE ROLL'S OWN DISTANCE COLUMN IS THE SHARPEST TEST: the 1808 opening at SRC-521 gives every farm in hours from the Swellendam drostdy, and the three Ladismith farms already placed (Voorbaat 14, Ockerts Kraal 15, Wolvefontein 17 uuren) calibrate it at about five kilometres to the hour. Riversdale No. 1 would read about 10 uuren; Oudtshoorn No. 216 about 33. One figure against entry 439 decides it.

Wat die rekord kortkom

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Kleine Doornrivier Nr. 1 (Riversdale) is in the model and drawn on the map, 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.
