Research notes
[SRC-305] YOUNGEST OF THE SEVEN CHILDREN of Hendrik Willem StormM and Magdalena Frederica BotesM, and the second of them with a death notice. A CATTLE FARMER, died 14 SEPTEMBER 1862 at the residence of D. de Koker, aged twenty-three. His whole estate: one wagon complete, ten horses, seventy-five sheep, and a will. Married JOHANNA DE KOKER, and had a son ROELOFF JACOBUS STORM by a FORMER marriage - so he had been married twice by twenty-three. His brother Willem Johannes Stephanus signed the notice. HE DIED 'IN THIS COLONY', which is what dates the family's move north to after 1862.
