[SRC-010, Rose Willis, Klaarstroom cameo] Second wife of Petrus Oosthuizen, married after 21 Nov 1842; ten children. With his first marriage's eleven that is twenty-one children. [TO VERIFY]

*** RE-ATTRIBUTED 31 Jul 2026: NOT an Oosthuizen wife. She is the wife of PETRUS JOHANNES MEIRING (b. Swellendam 30 Nov 1799, d. 2 Jan 1876), the man Meiringspoort is named for. I attached her to Petrus Oosthuizen in error the same day. Row kept because ids are permanent, and she is worth holding: Meiring is a real figure in this district's story. ***

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders - die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak - is in Afrikaans.
