Hilletjie Gertruida Basson is regularly coupled with the Hendrik Jacobus van der Westhuizen as a witness at baptisms of children of her son Johannes Petrus du Toit from 1851 until June 1862 after which she no longer appears. This may indicate that she died not long after this date.

I have assumed here that the daughter Hilletjie Gertruida Basson, married to Hendrik Jac van der Westhuizen, who is listed in the death notice of Hilletje Gertruida Rust, is the same HG Basson who was earlier married to Johannes Petrus du Toit.

In her mother's Esate Acounts she is named as Hilletje Geertruida Basson, thans gehuwd met Hendrik Jac:s v.d. Westhuijzen, which form of words suggests that she was previously married. (https://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/dutoit/I133.html##I135)
