[16 Sep 2026] Every page read, to find the Botha whom George Thompson visited at Jakhal's-Fonteyn on 4 July 1823 (LEAD-0350, SRC-635). Images saved from the film for reading only, not published: FamilySearch marks them allowDownload=false. *** THE DATE. *** The closing summary (image 73) is dated 'van den 3e February tot den 3e Maart 1824' and signed [?J.H.] Muller; its totals are compared with 'De Opgaaf Rol van 1822' (image 5). So this is the roll that followed 1822, taken in February-March 1824, which FamilySearch catalogues under 1823. SRC-605 is image 17 of this same volume. Thompson's visit of July 1823 falls between this roll and the one before it (SRC-558/559). *** THE WARDS (Smaldeelen), in the summary's order: *** 1 Nieuwveld, 2 Couph, 3 Zwartberg, 4 Couph, 5 Nieuwveld, 6 Gamka, 7 Nieuwveld, 8 Traka, 9 Nieuwveld, 10 Couph, 11 Nieuwveld, 12 Beaufort. Headed pages found: D.S. Fourie Nieuwveld (img 7), A.J. de Clercq Couph (11), C. Hatting Swarteberg (17-21, 77 lines), W.F. Joubert Couph (23), G.P. Marais Nieuwveld (29), J.H. Nel Gamka (37-39, 35 lines), A.J. Forster Nieuweveld (41-45), J. Erasmus Traka (48-54, 84 lines), J. Vdwesthuisen Niewveld (56), P.E. Kruger Couph (60-62), J. Burgert Nieuwveld (64-66), Beaufort (68-70). Image 46 re-photographs image 45. *** COLUMNS. *** Man, Vrouwen, Zoons, Dogters (children at home only: a married or adult son is entered as his own household with 'X Zoon', so a father's counts do not show a family's full size), then Khoikhoi (the roll's 'Hottentots'), slaves, horses, cattle, sheep, crops. The facing leaf carries 'Landeryen' with a LEENINGS PLAATZEN column, filled only here and there. The facing leaves have no line numbers, so a farm name is tied to a household by its height on the page: [TO VERIFY] for every match except the first row of a page. *** EVERY BOTHA IN THE ROLL (all read against the page). *** Heads: Jacobus Johannes Botha 'Fred[eri]k Z[oo]n' x Johanna Carolina van Jaarsveld, Swartberg, img 21 line 58, 1 son 1 daughter, no farm named; Theunis Botha Senior x Magdalena Roos, Nieuweveld, img 43 line 39; Theunis Johannes Botha 'Theunis Zoon' x Geertruida Maria Bronkhorst, img 43 line 40; Magdalena Gesina Botha 'Theunis Dochter', img 43 line 41. Wives: Margaretha Isabella Botha x veldcornet Christiaan Hatting 'Diedriks Zoon' (img 17 line 1); Johanna Elizabeth Botha x Hendrik Christiaan Graaff 'Jurgen Zoon' (img 19 line 40); Anna Catharina Botha x Johannes Georg Loots 'Philip Zoon', GAMKA ward (img 37 line 13); Johanna Maria Botha x Gysbert Sybrand Bronkhorst (img 43 line 44); Willemina Johanna Botha x Lucas Albertus Erasmus 'Jacob Zoon', Traka (img 52 line 79). The three Couph wards hold NO Botha. No household in the roll has 12 or more children at home. *** BOTES IS A DIFFERENT FAMILY AND IS ALL OVER THE KOUP. *** Read against the page: P.E. Kruger's Couph ward, img 60, lines 9-19 - Magdalena Botes (wife of Hendrik Willem Storm), Andries Stephanus Botes 'Anthoni Zoon', Anthonie Lourens Botes 'Andries Stephanus Zoon', Sybrand Lourens Botes 'Anthoni Zoon' x Hester van Rooyen (3 sons 4 daughters), Andries Stephanus Botes 'Sybrand Lourens Zoon', Jacobus Abram Botes 'Antoni Zoon' x Elsje Dorothea Gousch (2 and 4), Jacobus Abram Botes 'Jacobus Abram Zoon' x Helena Maria Botes, Petrus Johannes, Anthoni Johannes Lourens and Andries Stephanus Botes 'Jacobus Abram Zoon'; Swartberg img 19, Matthys Wietsche Botes 'Petrus Zoon' (31), 'Anthoni Johannes Bothes Petrus Zoon' (32, spelt so, which could be either name), Andries Stephanus Botes 'Petrus Zoon' (36), and Botes wives on lines 38-39. Reported by the reading pass and NOT yet rechecked against the page: Cornelis Johannes Botes, de Clercq's Couph ward img 11 line 11 (6 sons 4 daughters); Botes men on img 21 lines 69 and 71, img 23 lines 5-6, img 45 lines 69 and 74 (Wietsche Zoon), img 56 line 24 (Wietsche Botes Senior); Botes wives img 17 line 28, img 58 line 30, img 62 line 31. An English traveller could have written Botha for a Botes; that is a question, not a finding (LEAD-0350). *** BOTHMA, separately: *** Arnoldus Jacobus Bothma 'Steph[anu]s Zoon' (img 19 line 33) and Christiaan Bothma 'Stephanus Zoon' x Hester Susanna Elizabeth de Beer (line 34), Swartberg. *** THE TRAKA WARD OPENS ON THIS FAMILY (img 48, read against the page). *** 1 Jacobus Johannes Oosthuisen 'Ockert Zoon' x Johanna Magdalena Strydom, 1/1/3/1; 2 Roelof Oosthuisen 'Ockert Zoon' x Hester Maria Catharina Strydom, 1/1/1/1; 3 Barend Gerhardus Lindeque 'Barend Zoon' x Johanna Aletta Janze van Veuren; 4 Lucas Jacobus Janze van Vuuren 'Piet Zoon' x Martha Jacoba van Rooy; 5 Cornelis Andries Oosthuisen 'Ockert Zoon' x Johanna Maggel Petronella Strydom, 1/1/2/2; 6 Jan Louies Venter 'Jan Zoon' x Dina Magdalena Oosthuisen; 7 Casper van Zyl 'Wynand Zoon' Senior x Susanna Brytenbagh; 8 Gidion Jacobus van Eck 'Jan Zoon' x Aletta Elizabet Coertze. The facing leaf (img 49) writes 'Vondeling 1/2 / Vrolykheid' on the FIRST row, Jacobus Johannes Oosthuisen's, and 'Vondeling 1/2' level with row 5, Cornelis Andries's.

Only the Botha, Botes and Traka lines above are transcribed into opgaaf_rows (source 1824 Beaufort); the rest of the roll is read but not written out.
