FWIW, here is the link to the death inventory of the Petrus van der Merwe who was married to Aletta Jansen van Rensburg. Date 1798.

http://databases.tanap.net/mooc/main_article.cfm?id=MOOC8%2F53%2E2a&freesearchkey=%20Petrus%20van%20der

Small clue - the document states that Petrus was a son of a Petrus. Referred to as Petrus and not Pieter.

Petrus and Pieter were frequently interchanged as names, Pieter being the nickname of Petrus ... And inventories / death notices were also frequently incorrect or in the least fuzzy as as family relations go. I will upload this death inventory.

Jansen_van_Rensburg-143 could not have married both Petrus van der Merwe (Van Der Merwe-447) and Pieter van der Merwe (Van der Merwe-1733) on the same date (14 Apr 1782) because they are two different persons with different sets of parents and dates of birth and death. There must be a conflation somewhere.
