Anthony Wilhelmus Keyter, SV/PROG

According to most sources on MyHeritage Anton Keyter died on 15 January 1792. That is also his marriage date. He was 22 years old then. The date is probably the correct one in terms of his wedding, but definitely not in terms of his death. His children were born after 1972.

Naturalised in 1791. During naturalisation as South African citizen was registered as Keyter probably due to excessive embellishments used by the clerk when name was entered in immigration register.
