7. ↑ Imputed birth date:
   • Her baptism was on 30 Jun 1771 (not 7 Jul 1771) which is the date of the subsequent record on that page.
   • According to her death notice [familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQX-MSYF-T?lang=en] she died on 8 Dec 1847 at age 77 years 8 months and 21 days. This rather exact description puts her birth date as 18 Mar 1770, more than a year before her baptism. Given her birthplace (from her death record) 'Zwart Rivier' a location in the modern Caledon District, a trip to Stellenbosch would have involved a long trip over the mountains on foot or with draft animals (about 50 mi) [1], it is plausible that she would have been baptized as a year old child rather than a new born.
