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

    Op 31 Maart 1837 doen Johannes Vorster aansoek (en verkry) `n toekenning op die plaas Hartebeesfontein 173, groot 3401 morg in die veldkornnetskap Brak Rivier, distrik Albert.Op dieselfde datum verkry Jacobus Vorster regte op die aangrensende plaas Rietfontein 174 groot 3736 morg ook in die distrik.(QRR 9; Somerset East Quitrents Vol 7 folio 37 en 38) Hierdie Jacobus is heelwaarkynlik JHV se jonger broer.

    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.

    Plaas is " De Kraal 146 " distrik Lady Grey, oorkant en aangrensend aan die Kraai Rivier op Kaart Aliwal Noord 3026, 27 grade 08 min Oos en 30 grade 52 min Suid (Akteskantoor,Kaapstad) : Die plaas van 1627 morg word getoon as behorende aan Barend Johannes Vorster sedert 1 Sep. 1851, ( gegee aan hom as`n "grant"- Albert Quitrents Vol. 2 Part 3 bls 88) en hy dra op 22 Mei 1864 oor aan Alewyn Louis Vorster,een helfte; op 15 Okt 1864 dra ALVorster sy deel oor aan WJ van Heerden. 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)

    Op 15 September 1851 maak die regering `n "grant" van die Plaas Strydpoort 152, groot 2260 morg aan Johannes Hendrik Vorster (Albert Quitrents Vol. 2 Part 3 bls. 116) . Op 29 April 1863 gaan `n gedeelte van 522 morg na Johannes Jacobus Vorster. Op 16 November1868 verkoop JHV die balans van 1737 morg aan ene Gabriel Nel. (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]
