Nov 1802 Birthdate from Wikitree & MH (Source still to be confirmed Sharon Oct 2014)

Note by Tony Leach - Birth location is given as Fort Beaufort District on her Drath Certificate . At the time of her birth there was no permanent settlement there, and this must have been given as a general indicator of her birth location at a later date (or is incorrect). A mission station was established in 1816, as the first recorded settlement, with the military frontier post, Fort Beaufort, built a short distance away in 1822 after the 5th Frontier War. The town of Fort Beaufort was only proclaimed in 1837. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Beaufort Graaf-Reinett is given as her parents' residence at her time of baptism. However, the conjectures that her husband, Michael George Doubell might have come out with the Royal African Corps to the frontier forts - does give credence to the Fort Beaufort area [Sharon Doubell Oct 2014] [Given that her brother, JOHAN HENDRIK DE LANGE (HANS DONS) was born at Noutoe (currently Table Farm), district Grahamstad in 1799, and his childhood was spent as a border farmer pioneer on the farm Noutoe in the Suurveld whilst his father was serving as a field cornet during the years 1809 – 1813 - it seems likely she was born at Noutoe farm as well. Around 1815, the loan farm Wilgerfontein located on the banks of the Fish river, was awarded to her father, but in 1821, he sold half of his share in the farm to his son in law, later a Voortrekker leader, Lucas Johannes Meyer [Sharon D July 2021]
