Hi, I'm not sure but this could be the incorrect Elsie van der Merwe.
If I'm reading this correct, the Elsie van der Merwe married to Johannes Smit should be the daughter of David van der Merwe & Hendrina Horsel born circa 1733 (baptism: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSV8-W947-7?i=390), see Roelof van der Merwe's Inventory MOOC8/23.26 (http://databases.tanap.net/mooc/main_article.cfm?id=MOOC8%2F23%2E26...) where he lists David van der Merwe & Hendrina Hensel's daughter (#6) as Elsje van der Merwe married to Jan Smit.
Another reason why I think that the correct Elsie is David & Hendrina's daughter is that one of her daughters is called Hendrina Sophia Smith (baptism:https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DZN4-4W7?cc=1478678&am...)
I'm not sure & would like someone else's opinion, thanks.
Kind regards, Christelle Joubert
