Does anyone have sources to prove which of her present 4 husbands Maria Magdalena Russouw (1787 - 1832) (do Charl du Plessis and Maria Magdalena Roux) actually marries?

Pieter Daniel Rossouw (1782-1859)
or Pieter Rossouw
or Pieter Daniel Rossouw?through=6000000076835472953 (1790 - )
or x 24/07/1803 Pieter Rossouw (1782 -1859)

Pieter Daniel Rossouw# (1790) is presently the husband of Maria Magdalena Russouw but the MH match (no sources) suggests his wife should be Anna Sophia Cilliers (gebore Van Der Merwe) 1791 - 1850

Given that Maria Magdalena Russouw has 4 competing husbands, it seems likely that this isn't one of them.

Verified children of Maria Magdalena du Plessis x Pieter (Frans Zoon) Roussouw

Pieter Daniel Rossouw
(bap Sep 13 1789, Cape Town -)
so Gideon Rossouw & Johanna Susanna De Nikker
x April 6, 1811 Anna Sophia van der Merwe (later Cilliers)
*c1812 Maria Wilhelmina Roussouw x van Graan

CANNOT SIMUTANEOUSLY HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO
Maria Magdalena Russouw
x Pieter Roussouw
* Sara 1810 * Anna 1813 *Barbara 1815 *Geertruyda 1818 * Fransina 1822 *Magdalena 1826

Shew, that took all day to figure out:

Francois Josua Rossouw had two ‘Pieter Rossouw’ descendants who could have married Maria Magdalena Russouw:

1. A son, Pieter Rossouw b 1782, by his second wife Maria Magdalena Rossouw.

2. A grandson, Pieter Daniel Rossouw bap 1790 (s.o. Francois Roussouw & Elsje Marie Hugo) by his first wife Margaretha Hugo, Rossouw.

[This is first having already eliminated Francois’ other grandson, Pieter Daniel Rossouw bap 1789 (s.o. Gideon Rossouw & Johanna Susanna De Nikker) due to his having simultaneous kids with another woman Anna Sophia Rossouw Cilliers, b2c13d2e4f3)]

Piecing together the children, using baptisms & death certificates, it seems that Maria Magdalena Russouw?through=6000000013476198131 married Francois’ son by his 2nd wife, Pieter Rossouw (1782 – 1859).
This 1782 Pieter remarried Anna Maria Hendrina Roussouw Cilliers.
At the time of his death, he had over 10 children, including another Pieter!

In short: she was married to Pieter Rossouw

Sharon, you are an absolute star!

Please can you correct all accordingly and maybe lock them down so the different Pieters, Francoises and Marias don't get confused, not to mention the two "Pieter Daniels" of 1789 and 1790!! Also to keep apart Pieter Rossouw b.1782 and those Pieter Daniels.

On Pieter Rossouw's baptism certificate (1782) his father is named "Francois" "de oude" -- so "the younger" Francois Rossouws must be the one you mention in #2 as the father of Pieter Daniel bap. 1790.

:-) I think I have. Also started a Rossouw Project to keep it on: https://www.geni.com/projects/Rossouw-Rousseau-Family-in-South-Afri...
