Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

A SON OF THE STAMVADER AND A BROTHER OF THIS PROJECT'S JACOBUS (PER-000230), therefore great-uncle of the root Ockert Almero (PER-000001). Married ANNA BOTHA (b.1718, FamilySearch LC8Z-MBK). Their eldest son is Johannes OosthuisenM, PER-000739, FS LVZR-B4P. Added under the story route of 6: he is a subject of S040, and a man named in a published piece needs a record for the citation to attach to. FamilySearch L6FC-QKQ, 27 sources on the person. BIRTH: christened 4 November 1714 at Paarl, Drakenstein - FamilySearch carries two sources for the christening and two for the birth, both a baptism record, and gives the birth as 'before 4 November 1714'. Recorded here as 1714 because the year extractor takes YYYY and the day is on this row rather than in the field. DEATH: BEFORE 31 MARCH 1780, and the story of that date is worth keeping. FamilySearch DISPLAYS 1772, and this project briefly recorded it. IT IS WRONG, and the card says so itself: the death field carries ZERO SOURCES and its stated Reason is 'MOOC8/49.20, Jan Oosthuijse, 31 Maart 1780'. A contributor entered 1772 while citing a document dated 1780. It is not independent evidence at all - it is derived from the same inventory the private tree's bound comes from, and derived wrongly. So the only defensible reading is the bound: dead by 31 March 1780, when his widow Ana Boota gave in her goods (SRC-432). THAT RESTORES HIM TO THE 1775 ROLL. Nothing now dates him out of SRC-423, where 'Jan Oosthuijsen d'oude' is settled on the Sneeuwberg in July 1775. See LEAD-0182 for what does and does not support the identification. WHAT THE FAMILY LEAVES ON THE NORTHERN FRONTIER: his daughter JOHANNA PETRONELLA (1762-1792, FS LBS6-8HS) dies on the loan place de Groote Dam 'agter de Sneeuwbergen' (SRC-433); his granddaughter MARIA ELIZABETH (b.1763, FS MNRR-THD) marries ANDRIES HENDRIK KRUGEL (FS LH28-LYP) and baptises JOHANNES GIDEON HENDRIK KRUGEL (1792-1863, FS 2CBR-3LY) at Graaff-Reinet in 1792; and his granddaughter ALETTA JOHANNA SUSANNA is PER-000049 of MOOC8/38.12, the Rondabel-in-Tarka inventory this project already held.

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.
