    Op 2 Aug 1827 maak JHV en Sophia `n testament wat hulle onderteken op "Sterrenberg Spruit".

    Hy verkoop die plaas aan Adolph Mosenthal op 10 Sep 1851 vir £1068-0-0 (T1471, 15.9.1852)
    (Hierdie twee plase is te sien op kaart Queenstown 3126 by 31 grade 03 min Suid en 26 grade 14 min Oos)

    Hy is oorlede as `n wewenaar op die plaas "de Kraal over Kraai River division of Aliwal" Noord oud 71 jaar 9 mnde 27 dae op 19 Oktober 1860 volgens sy doodsertifikaat.

Op 2 Mei 1872 verkoop BJ Vorster sy helfte aan ene TN Bowrie.

    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)

    Johannes married Sophia Aletta Jacoba de Meyer on 22 Dec 1811 in Graaff-Reinet. Sophia (daughter of Olof Abraham Servaas de Meyer and Anna Christina Weydeman) was christened on 18 Aug 1793; died on 6 May 1843 in Burgersdorp,Hartebeesfontein 173. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
