    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. ???????
