Biography

Casper Jan Hendrik was born in 1827. He is the son of Casper Kruger and Elsie Steyn. [1]
According to Heese and Lombard he married Levina Catharina Hendrina Kruger. If he did, it was not [Kruger-1661], because she married [Kruger-1685], as can be seen from his DN. There were many Casper Jan Hendrik Krugers, but there also were many Levina Catharina Krugers, not all of whom had the third forename Hendrina.
A possibility for the spouse of this Casper is suggested by the Baptism Record of a child who is not one of the children of [Kruger-1661]
Child: Helena Johanna Wilhelmina Kruger
from South Africa, Free State Dutch Reformed Church Records, 1848-1956
Baptism Date: 16 Jul 1865 at Bloemfontein, Orange Free State
Birth Date: 9 May 1865
Father's Name: Casper Jan Hendrik Kruger
Mother's Name: Levina Catharina Hendrina Kruger
Witnesses Isaac Johannes Christiaan Kruger; Cornelia Lombard; Teunis Lodewyk Kruger; Alida Kruger [2]
A possibility for Levina is:
b7c2d4e4 Theunis Johannes KRUGER * 7.6.1806 = Graaff-Reinet 30.11.1806
x Cradock 4.10.1824 Heyletje Maria Margaretha VAN WYK
f1 Levina Catbarina * 28.7.1825 = Cradock 4.9.1825 [3]
A more likely suggestion is:
b7c1d1e3f8 Levina Catharina Hendrina KRUGER * 26.3.1832 = Cradock 8.10.1827
f9 Hilletje Margaretha * 8.12.1833 = Cradock 4.5.1834
f10 Izak Johannes Cbristiaan * 6.7.1837 = Cradock 10.12.1837
f11 Theunis Lodewyk * c. 1840 d. Bloemfontein 19.8.1889 (48.11.12)
x Johanna Alida Wiihelmina KRUGER
xx Maria Magdalena Johanna * 22.4.1833 = Graaff-Reinet Christina Helena VERMEULEN
This would make the witnesses - mentioned above - her brothers
And she would be the same person as [Kruger-2404][4]

Baptism

Date: 21 Oct 1827 [5]
Place: Renosterberg [5]

Death date cannot be correct, he married and had children after this date. [6]

Kruger-1685 and Kruger-2555 are not ready to be merged because: Seems to be too many discrepancies - birth, baptism, death dates. Needs further research first. I suspect conflation.

Kruger-2555 and Kruger-1685 do not represent the same person because: Different parents and dates

Dates of spouse is also different even though they have the same name

Casper Jan Hendrik Kruger surviving spouse of Lefina Catharina Hendrina when she died in 1901 in Refugee Camp Brandfort according to her DN. His birth and death date same year, thus I replace the death date with after 9 Oct 1901.

Kruger-3324 and Kruger-2555 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Kruger-2555 already existed. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!
