Burial Notes: According to her Grave-stone, she was born in 1819 and died on 24 February1893 at the age of 73 years.

Johanna married Rev. Daniel Johannes HELM,¹ ^,2 ^,4 ^,6 ^,7 ^,8 ^,21 son of Rev. Heinrich Carl Jacob HELM ² ^,28 and Charlotte (Johanna) WHITE,² ^,8 on Jun 11, 1835 in Pacaltsdorp, George, Cape Colony, Southern Africa ⁴ ^,7 ^,8.^,19.^,21.^,27 Daniel was born on Mar 15, 1814 in Grootrivier, (Orange), Korannaland, Cape Colony, Southern Africa,^{²^,8^,19^,21} was christened on May 7, 1814 in Zuurbraak, Cape Colony, Southern Africa,^⁸ died on Apr 7, 1873 in Zuurbraak, Cape Colony, Southern Africa^{⁶^,8^,21} at age 59, and was buried in Missionaries Acre, Zuurbraak.^¹⁹ Other names for Daniel were Daniel John HELM and Willem Frederik HELM.

Research Notes: "Other names for Heinrich were HELM, John Frederic, HELM, Hendrik Carel Jacob <http://griquatownandersons.com/ancestors/315.htm> and HELM, John Fredrik" there is now a question now as to whether John Frederic HELM ever existed as the son of Daniel Johannes HELM (1814-1873) or whether he was the same person as Heinrich Carl Jacob (1846-1913). It seems more likely that Heinrich Carl Jacob (1846-1913) was in fact the child of George Evans Helm b 1825:
George Evans Helm and Johanna Margaretha Jacoba had nine children
Heinrich Carl Jacob (1846-1913)
Cornelia Hester Helm (1848-1921)
Charlotte Susana Helm (1850-1922)
Johanna Marthina Helm (1852-1885)
Elizabbeth Maria Helm (1855- )
Hermanus Bernardus Helm (1857-1916)
Elsabe Hendrina Helm (1860-1922)
Susanna Hermina Helm (1863-1901)
George Evans Helm (1868-1902)
For the record then this is my assessment and will be entered in the GriquatownAnderson data base under John Frederic, HELM (b1849)
