- Interesting reference to a Johannes Stephanus and Anna Margaretha Joubert adopting:
JAN DANIEL KARNSPEK REITZ DE VILLIERS.
g9 Jan Daniël Karnspek Reitz
Gebore: 10.1.1858
Gedoop: Swellendam 7.2.1858
Oorlede: Woodstock 19.4.1931, boer en togryer Swellendam.
Sy moeder is met sy geboorte oorlede.
Die prokureur-notaris van Swellendam, Jan Daniël Karnspek Reitz het toe vir die doop gesorg en die wesie is deur Johannes Stephanus Joubert en sy vrou Anna Margaretha Joubert, van Bruintjiesrivier, Swellendam, aangeneem.
Hulle was 'n kinderlose egpaar.
Weens 'n tegniese fout in die testament het hy niks van sy pleegouers geërf nie.
Hy het taamlik rondgeswerf en het later in Woodstock gaan woon en was baie arm.
