Text: 29.2.1801 Source: Personal communication Citation details: email clarification received from Isak Bosman, saying that the date was transcribed incorrectly Text: 29 Maart 1801 Shared note: Michaelis Christoffel Dippenaar x Maria Elizabeth Erasmus Michaelis Christoffel Dippenaar x Maria Elizabeth Erasmus According to Isak Bosman, in "Die Dippenaar-familie van Suid-Afrika" (2005) previous genealogies have incorrectly ascribed a marriage between MC Dippenaar and Maria Elizabeth Erasmus to MC Dippenaar (b5: 1755-1809). He argues that the death notice in MOOC 6/9/28 #5930 shows that she married (b5c2: 1779-1843), the second son. See page 317 in Bosman's book. Note that the marriage date would be a leap year (29 Feb) except that 1801 was not. Isak mentions in an email that the original was obscure and that the correct date should be 29.3.1801
