About Willem Petrus Prinsloo, b3c3d6e7f1
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Prinsloo-174#Biography
The farm Kaalfontein was given by Willem Wragtig to his eldest son, Lang Willem. The earliest history of this farm can be traced back to a certain J J van der Merwe, who took transfer of 2 802 morgen he had bought from the government on 29 November 1859. Seven years later, in January 1866, Van der Merwe swopped the land with the trader', Edward M K Struben, for a plough and merchandise. A year later, Struben sold it to Frederick William Munro, who lived there till his death. Munro had the house, which functions as a house museum today, built by about 1882. After Munro's death, Willem Wragtig bought Kaalfontein from Munro's estate in October 1889 for ±£6 000. Family history Willem Wragtig himself never lived at Kaalfontein, but on the farm Zorgvliet near Bronkhortspruit. Lang Willem, his wife Cornelia, their daughter and two sons, Klein Lang Willem and Lang Hans, farmed on Kaalfontein
