Research notes
[SRC-307] FIRST WIFE OF HENDRIK JACOBUS STORM, and the person who ties the Storms and the Niehaus into one family twice over. Daughter of BERNARDUS CHRISTIAAN GODLIEB NIEHAUS and NEELTJE JOHANNA STORM. She married the son of her mother's brother: THEY WERE FIRST COUSINS. Died at the residence at JAN WILLEMSFONTEIN on 23 December 1862, aged 44, leaving six minor children - Hendrik Willem, Neeltje Johanna, Jacob Abraham, Magdalena Marthina, Andrias Stephanus and Jan Jacobus. The estate was 114 oxen, 360 sheep, 8 horses, a wagon, a cart and household furniture. Her occupation is entered as FARMER, not farmer's wife.
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
