According to MOOC8/10.29a, which is linked on here, Machteld van der Merwe was the daughter of Gerrit van der Merwe. Thus, it should be [Machteld Maria Erasmus, b2c14d3 this] one and not [Machteld Maria Erasmus, b2c14d3 this] one.

I have this:-
Baptism - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSV8-W947-M?cat=99...
Name given as Machteltje van der Merwe
Boek der Gestorwene, Land van Waveren - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKD-F3LY?i=426&am... - Gives date as 9 Dec 1761 "Machtelt van der Merwe huijsv. van Lourens Erasmus".
It appears the Maria might have been added by her much later, Though it's not on her notice of death.

Appears she is "the" Machteld Maria, but not the one married to Lourens Erasmus
Charlette Louise Hoppe In http://databases.tanap.net/mooc/main_article.cfm?id=MOOC8%2F13%2E52... there is a child, "10) Magtelt Maria van der Merve oud 6 jaaren" and a grandchild "11) Martha Erasmus bij representatie van wijlen Magtelt van der Merve getrouwt geweest met Lourens Erasmus". Thus it seems that Magtelt was the elder one, already deceased, married to Lourens, with child Martha, and Magtelt Maria was a younger sister, at least 10 years her junior, possibly up to 20.
