Erasmus Jacobus het na Brakrivier, distrik Cradock getrek waar hy oorlede is. Na sy dood het sy vrou Martha Christina getrou met Mieder Palm. Sy het een kind by Palm gehad en dit wil voorkom of sy 'n groot rol as martriaag gespeel het in die gesinne van haar kinders. Daar was nie 'n doop of troue wat sy nie bygewoon het nie by Brakrivier of Stormbergspruit, soos die streek genoem was waar die Smits hulle in die latere Burgersdorpse omgewing gevestig het. Sy is oorlede op 11 Mei 1842, in die huis van haar seun Stephanus Albertus en is op Waterval begrawe.
