Categories: The Dutch Cape Colony 1652-1806 | Graaff Reinet District, Dutch Cape Colony | Cape of Good Hope Project Needs Transcription
The added Jacobus Abraham's DN in his biography does not give Jacobus Petrus as his father but incorrectly: Jacobus (scratched out) Abraham Erasmus. It seems that Diederik Durand Diederik Johannes Durand (his above-mentioned requested daughter's husband) (DN signed DJ Durand) was not sure who his parents were because of the corrections made. The calculated birth date (79 years 9 months and 18 days) from the said date of death: 21 May 1860 correlates with the baptism date (birth date 3 Aug 1792 before baptism date 25 Nov 1792). If the profile managers agree with this please update the date of birth on his profile and add Maggel Margaretha Smit aka Magteld Margaretha Smith as Jacobus Abraham's wife and mother of Johanna Maria Erasmus.
