How many wifes did he have ...
according to his GENI profile two
according to his WikiTree profile one .. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steenkamp-60
Can somebody who is researching the Steenkamps please check on documetnation and help us out please.
His one daughter relates to a Potgieter-Project I am currently busy with - so I notice the difference in the two profiles as I am looking for dates ... but it is not my focus point right now ..

Jan Harm STEENKAMP
Jan Harmse b7c2 = 9.8.1761
X 6.4.1783 Anna Elizabeth van Vuuren
XX 3.2.1788 Johanna Helena du Plessis = 21.5.1769.
Vertrek moontlik van woonplek Tarka, Somerset Oktober 1837 in trekgeselskap van Jan du Plessis. Daar bestaan geen direkte bewys dat Jan verhuis het nie, maar die aanname word gemaak dat hy die Jan Steenkamp is wat in die Graham's Town Journal gerapporteer is en byna al sy seuns en dogters Voortrekkers geword het.
