I think that there are 2 Hester Venters and that one married Botha and the other one ....

Hester Venter-443 born ca. 1756 has Jan Adriaan Venter-153 as father and Maria Jordaan-91 as mother. Hester Venter-56 born ca. 1750 has Johannes Hendrik Venter-51 as father and Maria Buys-108 as mother. She married Fredrik Bota-14 on 31 Oct 1773 after having been married to Hendrik Van_der_Walt-102 (born 14 Jan 1745)12 Oct 1766 in Tulbagh.

It might be that C.J. van der Walt is wrong in his research on this. It might be that Frederik Botha only married one Hester Venter (that there were two of them I do not doubt, although there have surely been some conflation along the line somewhere - Ian McArthur claims that Hendrik Van_der_Walt-102 (born 14 Jan 1745) never had children (according to the Venter-website) though there are baptism images that prove otherwise. Perhaps his de- and re-connection of parent profiles using that website as "source" has somewhere conflated this whole marriage.

I understand your message Philip/ but Hester Venter (Venter-56) must be removed because Frederik Botha was only married to one Hester Venter If you look at the dates It will become clear that Hester Venter x van der Walt still had van der Walt children in 1792 and the marriage date for Venter and Botha is 1773
Venter-443 and Venter-56 do not represent the same person because: Conflicting parents. See baptism of Hester Venter-56.
