Marthinus Oosthuizen ry deur die impi by Van Rensburg se laer
16 Februarie 1838 · national
[SRC-098, SRC-097] Days after Piet Retief's party was killed and the Bloukrans and Weenen attacks, a small group was holding Van Rensburg's laager and ran out of powder. Marthinus Jacobus Oosthuizen rode through an estimated 1,500 Zulu warriors to a wagon, took powder and ball, and rode back through them. SAG names Paul Naude and Abraham de Beer with him and puts the defenders at nineteen men. A COUSIN LINE, NOT OURS - he is b1c4d7e3, descended from the stamvader's eldest son; Frans descends from the youngest. Included because the two lines are the same family taking opposite roads out of Drakenstein: one east to Uitenhage, the Tarka and Natal, ours west and then north into the Koup.
