Historians' accounts conflict on whether Johannes (Jan) Zacharias Moolman was one of the casualties at the battle of Blaauwberg (which means date of death 1806)^[8] or whether the horse depicted in the painting of him was in fact from one of the British officers he shot during the battle and that the painting was made after the battle (which means he survived the battle).^[9]

Jùrgen Johannes Gildenhuijsen's will of 26 March 1807 gives credence to the latter, as it states Jurgen's mother as married to Johannes Zacharias Moolman at the time.^[10]
