Avontuur (now called Grasberg) in the Veldcornetcy of the North Onder-Bokkeveld in the District of Clanwilliam, Nigel Amschwand - 2013
As mentioned previously, the ownership of Avontuur in 1848 was 1/3rd shares belonging to Jan Harmse Nel, Willem Adriaan Nel, and Abraham Jacobus Johannes Nel, so the farm did remain within the family. Jan Harmse Nel’s 1/3rd was divided equally between another Elias Albertus and another Jan Harmse in 1873, probably his sons. The following year c 1890 the farm was formally partitioned as follows:
a. The vierkant of 20 morgen and 233 sq. roods was owned by Willem Adriaan Nel and Johannes Paulus Steenkamp who each owned a 1/3rd share, and Elias Albertus Nel and Jan Harmse Nel who each owned 1/6th.
b. 1340 morgen and 20 sq. roods were transferred to Johannes Paulus Steenkamp under the name Grasberg
c. The Remainder22 of Avontuur was 2297 morgen and 539 sq. roods of which ½ belonged to Willem Adriaan Nel and a ¼ each to Elias Albertus Nel and Jan Harmse Nel.
