Research Notes

The Anna Susanna Botha [Botha-7997] who was the daughter of Hercules Botha and Elisabeth Fourie married Marthinus Wessel Pretorius [Pretorius-9575] in 1820. Their tenth child was born in 1838. Anna Susanna Botha [Botha-3228] married Lourens Rasmus Bester [Bester-633] in 1833. Witnesses at the baptisms of three of her children included:

Sybella Elizabeth Margaretha Botha and Willem Jacobus Prinsloo
Elizabeth Johanna Christina Botha and Christoffel Prinsloo
Theunis Lowies Botha and E J Erasmus

This suggests that they were close relatives. From Heese & Lombard:

b1c7d1e4 Theunis Louis BOTHA * 20.3.1775 = 27.8.1775 d. 24.1.1865
x Elizabeth Johanna ERASMUS
f1 Lourens Rasmus = 26.12.1806
x Somerset-Oos 14.2.1830 Hilletje Levina BESTER
f2 Isabella Elizabeth Margaretha = 15.10.1809
f3 Anna Susanna Magdalena * 17.10.1811 = Graaff-Reinet 14.6.1812
f4 Theunis Louis * 6.9.1816 = Graaff-Reinet 5.1.1817
f5 Elizabeth Johanna Christina * 6.9.1816 = Graaff-Reinet 5.1.1817

Seeing that Anna Susanna was b. 1804, this suggests that she may have been the third child of Theunis, and not the daughter of Hercules Botha. Added on 15 Mar 2023 by Ian McArthur
