The citation as it was given
Verbatim: "The annexed Diagram represents the Farm Riet fontein, Containing 13290 Morgen's [and] Rood's. Situated in the Gouph District of Beaufort and Field Cornetcy of M. De Beer." Bounded north by Graf fontein and Spreuw Kloof; south by Antjes fontein and Riet Port; east by Government Ground; west by Spreuw Kloof. THE FIELD CORNETCY IS THE THIRD DOCUMENT to put M. de Beer over this ground in 1833-39 (with SRC-072 and DOC-0004), and the title is a fourth farm on 15 April 1841.
Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
