Johannes (Jan) Louis Langerman

There is little evidence to date that Anna Catherina, Willem Ferdinand and Johannes (Jan) Louis Langerman were the "biological" children of Frederik Langerman SV/Prog. They were certainly the children of his stepdaughter Sara Maria Bruyns. It seems odd he would be having children with his wife and stepdaughter at the same time and it is possible he gave them his name. In one will with her husband (Mooc7-1-11ref 85-89) the three are referred to as her "natural" children. Frederik is however named as the father of Johannes (Jan) Langerman on his death certificate by his wife.

His death certificate MOOC 6-9-121 ref 4362 is filled in in a different hand from his wife but she adds Frederik as the father and signs it "Johanna Christina Wilhelmina Steyn weduwee van wylen Johannes Langerman".

The certificate states that he was born at the Cape of Good Hope, that he was 41 years when he died on 26 May 1840, that he died in Buyten Kant, that he was a "Travling Pedler", that he had no children but had left property, a house at Tulbach.
