Research notes
[FS, from FamilySearch profiles supplied by the family 3 Aug 2026] Married Susanna Johanna Louisa Catharina MienieH at Richmond, 9 July 1849, and had seven children, the last born in 1870 when he was about sixty-nine. Their eldest son was named MARTHINUS PETRUS DE BEER, for her father - the Cape naming pattern running exactly to form.
[3 Aug 2026] WHERE HE SITS IN THE DE BEER PICTURE IS NOT ESTABLISHED. He is absent from the private tree entirely, and no document here links him to the Kweekvallei de Beers (PER-000273) or to the field cornet (PER-000110). What can be said is that he was in the VELDKORNETSKAP WINTERVELT in January 1833, baptising a daughter by his first wife Christina Johanna Horn on the same day and the same page as the Mienie child he would marry sixteen years later - so he was among these families long before the 1849 wedding at Richmond.
