• Notes

  Na haar man se dood het Hester van Zyl vir baie jare die plase "Wittedrift", "Kruisfontein" en "Matrosefontein" as leningsplase behou en dit in 1808 aan Dirk Johannes Kotze oorgedra. Hy het egter gereel dat Hester "aan de Verlore Vallei" oftewel "Wittedrift" naby die huidige dorp Redelinghuys, van hom huur wat sy gedurende 1825 nog gedoen het. Sy het met behulp van die arbeid van twee slawe en drie slavinne en hulle 5 kinders asook 'n blanke knegonderwyser, Stephanus Bauermeister en sy vrou Alida Brink die plaas bestuur"Wittedrift" is net oorkant die dorpie Redelinghuys geleë. Die opstal wat teen die einde van die 1700's opgerig is, is pragtig gerestoureer. Die een helfte word deur Mnr. & mev. George Smit bewoon, en die ander helfte deur hulle dogter en skoonseun, D.J. van Zyl en gesin. Voorheen het George Smit se pa hier gewoon.Akte-ondersoek op "Wittedrift", 8 April 2002 in die Aktekantoor, Kaapstad: "Wittedrift" no. 4 Piquetberg 6677morge 200rd² D/N 275/1834 Cape Qts?

Goewerneur Van der Stel het dit "Zeekoejen-valey" genoem. Later het die Nederlandse "explorers" dit vertaal uit die Sanwoord "Quaecoma" wat verlore vallei beteken. Dit is toe "Verloren Vallei" genoem. Francis Masson, 'n planteversamelaar vir Kew Gardens het gedurende 1770 toe hy hier deurgetrek het, die volgende in sy joernaal kwytgeraak: " We came to Verloore Valley ... a narrow extent of marfhy ground, incolfed by hills on each fide, with a fmall river, frequented by a variety of water fowl, which afforded good fport ... we saw hundreds of pelicans and wild geefe"Verlorenvlei is gedurende 1992 op die bewaringslys van die Internasionale Ramsar-konvensie geplaas.
