    Notes:

    Die Tulbagh doodsregister (NG Kerk Argief , Kaapstad) toon aan dat die huisvrou van Barent Vorster en drie kinders op 2 Sept 1789 oorlede is. (Ek is nie seker of dit wel BJV se vrou Cecilia was nie .(Volgens Bingle Britz is Cecilia oorlede op 26 Jul 1789.) Daar is geen rekord van 3 kinders van Barend de Oude wat jonk dood is nie, behalwe Johannes Stephanus en Gerrit.

    In 1789 toe woon BJV al geruime tyd naby Graaff Reinet, en aangesien GR eers in 1792 van Tulbagh afgestig het sou dit wel in Tulbagh doodsregisters aangeteken word - maar miskien onder `n ander datum. ???????

    Kaapse Argief : Sy testament van 19 April 1858 opgestel in Burgersdorp,stel Willem Abraham van Dyk aan as Eksekuteur,meld sy 15 kinders en toon dat hulle reeds hulle moedersdeel ten bedrae van 253 riksdalers,1 schelling en 1 stuiwer van Sophia de Meyer ge-êrf het.Sy laaste testament, geskryf op 2 November 1858 toon dat hy (toe) woonagtig was op Erf No 53, Burgersdorp, Distrik Albert. Teen die tyd was sy tweede vrou ook reeds dood , sowel as twee van sy dogters tw. Aletta Susanna en Anna Christina. Uit die Testament blyk dit dat hy15 kinders gehad het. Die testament verdeel alles onder die 13 kinders plus die kinders van Aletta en die kind van Anna.( Martha Aletta is waarskynlik dood voordat sy gedoop was.) Hy benoem op 16 Januarie 1860 sy skoonseun Johannes Jacobus Vorster, Barendzoon, as Ekseketeur van sy boedel omdat sy seun Johannes Hendrik Vorster nie kans sien daarvoor nie.( Na die dood van Sophia op 6 Mei 1843 op Hartebeesfontein 173 in die Burgersdorp distrik is hy op 4 Maart 1844 op Colesberg weer getroud met Magaretha Aletta van Zyl wat ook oorlede is op 27 Mei 1858 in Burgersdorp)

(Die plaas Strydpoort 152 grens aan De Kraal 146)

    (Hierdie JHV was skynbaar sy seun ,gebore in 1818 en Johannes Jacobus kan JHV de Oude se skoonseun wees (seun van sy jonger broer Barend Johannes),getroud met sy dogter Sophia Aletta Jacoba)
