=====================================================================

Cornelis farmed in 1804 on Platterug on the Kouderivier. This was near Elandskloofrivier and Jan Swartskraal, and adjoining Vogelstruiskraal at Elim. Cornelis took over farming Vogelstruiskraal in1804 from Louis Taljaard, who had married Dina Elizabeth Lourens in 1777 and farmed there from 1796. Louis already had his own farm Nachtwacht from 1778. In 1807 Gabriel du Toit acquired Matthys' old farm Vogelstruiskraal dating back to 1762. This Cornelis Janse Lourens line, through his grandsons, gave rise to the Lourenses of Harrismith and Vrede, as well as the Kenhardt and SWA lines via Riversdale.
