Die sitasie soos dit gegee is
[16 Sep 2026] Read in full for Thompson's Botha (LEAD-0350) and, for Modder Fonteyn on the Olifants River (LEAD-0220, LEAD-0294). Images saved for reading only, not published. The facing leaf carries 'Namen der Plaatsen en Erven welke zy bezitten' and 'Waar en op welke afstand van de Drostdy' in hours. The pages number no lines: 'line' in opgaaf_rows is the household's position on the page, and a farm is tied to a household by figures present on both leaves (vines, wagons). *** MODDER FONTYN, read against the page. *** Image 328 (facing 327), 'Modder Fontyn, 30 d[itt]o [uren]', one place in erfpacht, on the row carrying 8500 vines, which on image 327 is the 11th household: SAL[OMON] TERBLANS A[?]z x HESTER MARE, 2 sons 3 daughters. The same ward (its first page, and so its veldcornet, is not in the volume as filmed here; image 327 opens 'Per Transport') has Rode Heuvel 38, Kruys Rivier 34 (Johannes Hendrik Bekker), Misgunst 30 (Daniel Nortier), Schoongezigt 32 (Fredrik Jacobus Botha x Maria Venter), WANHOOP 48 (Johagim Prinslo), Grobe 50 and Het Bad 45 [?]. That is the Olifants River ground. The Cango ward on the next pages has Oude Muragie at 28 uren (Andries Johannes le Roux, image 334) and Cango at 30. *** THE CANGO WARD, read against the page. *** Image 331, first household 'Louis Joh. Botha Veldct.' x Isabella Strydom, 4 sons 2 daughters, facing leaf 'Vinkenest Rivier [?], 35 uren'. Facing leaf image 332 writes 'Cango, 30 d[itt]o', one place in erfpacht (Johannes Scheepers Senior by the reading pass [TO VERIFY row]). Botha households reported by the reading pass (not all rechecked): Philip Lt. P. Botha Dz x Maria M. Botha (Welgevonden 34); David Hendrik Botha Dz x Louisa Isabella Botha; Johannes Christoffel Botha Dz; Louis Johannes Botha Lz x [?Drewlina] Botha; Pieter Jacobus Botha Lz x Anna Christina Schoeman; the widow of P.R. Botha; Philip Rudolf Botha Senior x Maria Terblans (Nooitgedagt en [?Groot] Fontyn 32); Anna P. Botha x Johannes P. Nel; Elisabeth Botha x Jacobus Ernst Kotzee. Thompson's Cango guide of 1822 was 'a farmer of the name of Botha, in the district of George' living a few miles from the caves: this ward is where that family was enrolled. Which man is not settled. *** THE OLIFANTS WARD'S BOTHAS (image 327, read against the page): *** Willem A[?]. Botha Jz; Fredrik Jacobus Botha Pz x Maria Venter (1 son 2 daughters); Jacobus Petrus Botha Pz x Helena Scheepers (3 and 4); Nicolaas Johannes Grobbelaar x Hester Botha (6 and 3); Jan Hendrik Botha Pz x SUSANNA OOSTHUIZE (1 son). Image 329 (reading pass): the widow of Fredrik Botha, Jan [?Adr.] Botha Fz x Johanna Schoeman, Jacobus Marthinus Botha, Petrus Johannes Botha Jz x Helena Carelse. *** THE GEORGE-TOWN WARDS (No. 1-6, reading pass): *** many Botha households around George and Mossel Bay at 2 to 20 hours (veldcornet W.H. Boshoff's No. 2 especially: Fredrik Botha Senior x Hester Pienaar at Uitkyk en Brak Fontyn; Jacobus Botha Senior x Martha Koen at Jonkers Hoek; Philip Rudolph Botha Pz x Anna D. Marx at Klip Fontyn 18; Jan Lodewyk Botha x Abigael Marais at Matjes Fontyn 16). Langkloof, Outeniqua and Knysna wards (images 303-318) hold Botha wives only and a single Adam Botha. George Rex's 'Jakals Kraal' near the Knysna (image 311) and a 'Jakhals Valley' (image 298) are different places. *** RESULT FOR LEAD-0350. *** No Botha, and no household of any name, on the Dwyka, the Gamka or in the Koup in this roll; no household with 19 children at home (largest in the volume about 10). Oosthuizen wives also noted: Anna Oosthuize x Joseph Keller (image 315), Maria Elisabeth Oosthuize x Salomon Vermaak (325), Diena Oosthuyze x Frederik Gyser (335), Mag. Oosthuizen x Salomon Pienaar (295).
