Gertruida (Geertruyd in DP) Johanna BUYSKES ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

DP het as sterftedatum 13 September 1840
Daar is 'n teenspraak in die familiebybel. du Toit gee aan dat sy moeder
op die 3de September 1840 oorlede is, "in die ouderdom van 46 jaaren en 18 dagen".
Dit bring haar geboortedatum op 16 Augustus 1796. Effens verder aan gee hy haar
geboortedatum aan as 21 Augustus 1813. Hierdie laaste datum moet verkeerd wees want he gee 27 September 1815 aan as die geboortedatum van sy oudste broer. Sy seun wat die inligting verder gevoer het, gee Andries Francois se geboortedatum aan as 8 Augustus 1812, dus slegs een jaar en 13 dae voor 21 Augustus 1813.
DP has 13 September 1840 as the date of death.
There is a contradiction in the family bible. Du Toit writes that his mother died on 3 September 1840, "at the age of 46 years and 18 days." That brings her birth date to 16 August 1796. A little further on he gives her birth date as 21 August 1813. This last date must be wrong since he gives 27 September 1815 as the birth date of his oldest brother. du Toit's son who supplemented the information gives 8 August 1812 as the birth date of Andries Francois, thus only one year and thirteen days before 21 August 1813.

Gertruida married Jacobus Francois DU TOIT, son of Andries Francois DU TOIT and Josiena (DP: Josina) Hendrina DE WET, on 1 Nov 1812. (Jacobus Francois DU TOIT was born 1 (DP: 3) Mei 1793 and died on 8 Feb 1860.)
