    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. ???????

    "Den 13 Oct. 1763 is bostaande plaats in eigendom geneem(Met Diagram) ( RLR12/2 Stellenbosch No 317) Op die Diagram word die ligging van die plaas gegee as "Zuid na die plaats van Daniel Keyser, Wes na de Heunige Berg, Noord na de Coopmans Craal, Oost na het hoge gebergte".

Kopie van Akteskantoor aangeheg.

    Die plaas is tans bekend as Tigerkloof 164, Piketberg en behoort aan Willem van der Merwe. Die oorspronklike huis word nog bewoon deur Willem maar is natuurlik heelwat verander.

    Pieter Gous wat getroud was met Barend se suster Aletta, het reeds in 1743 aansoek gedoen vir weidings regte op die plaas "de Kleine Valley,gelee over de Olifantsrivier" (RLR43/2 bls214) In 1755 doen hy aansoek vir die plaas Brackefontein wat hy in 1784 (of 1786) verlaat.

    Hierdie plase lê almal op `n kol wat te sien is op die 1:250 000 Kaart 3218 Clanwilliam
    by 33 grade 50 min Suid en 19 grade 03 min Oos.

    Barend se doodsdatum is nie bekend nie - die doodsregister van Tulbagh vir die periode 1793 tot 1816 is skynbaar weg of verlore. Die begraafplaas op Kleine Valley is vol gras en verwaarloos. Daar is baie ou grafte,maar geen name is te lese op die ou grafte nie. Daar is baie Burgers begrawe.

    Barend married Dorothea Maria Smit on 3 Apr 1746 in Tulbagh.. Dorothea (daughter of Alewyn Smit and Hester Bekker) was christened on 8 Apr 1730 in Drakenstein. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Dorothea Maria Smit was christened on 8 Apr 1730 in Drakenstein (daughter of Alewyn Smit and Hester Bekker).

    Notes:

    Volgens dieTulbagh (Roodezand) doodsregister is "die Huisvrou en drie kinders van Barent Vorster" op dieselfde dag oorlede - 2 September 1789 Ek dink egter die drie kinders ter sprake was kinders van Barend Johannes Vorster - wat wel vier kinders vroeg verloor het. Weet ook nie seker of dit wel sy is wat oorlede is nie.
    (Sien ook notas onder Cecilia van Heerden, vrou van BJVorster.)
    Sy leef nog op 31 Maart 1806 (MOOC 8/25.10)
