The original register is now housed in the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerkargief, Noordwal-Wes, Stellenbosch, as G1 1/1. The transcription was originally made in 2006 by Richard Ball. Corrections were received from Delia Robertson and Alwyn Smit and Corney Keller had now completely revised and amended the original transcript (February 2012).

It says above: "Died 28 Feb 1780 [location unknown]"

According to "The Louws of Louwvliet" she inherited Elsenburg after Jan Valk died. The will was submitted on 7 May 1740. She then sold Elsenburg to Johan Philip Giebelaar 24 January 1742. "... and thereafter she disappeared from the scene. Where she lived and when she died remain a mystery."

She was a wealthy woman and if she was alive I believe her name would have appeared in official records. I suggest her date of death should be given as "after 24 January 1742". 1780 as a date of death seems to be grossly incorrect.

Death date cannot possibly be correct - it would make her 103 years old.
