Family

Rosetta van Java b. c 1690, d. bt 11 Feb 1733 - 24 Apr 1733
Children
LtrsRecd1695_1708* On 1 February 1704 in Jonker van Macassar was mentioned in a letter from the authorities in Batavia to those at the Cape in which it was explained that he had been convicted of rape, but was being sent to the Cape rather than executed because of his familial ties to the king of Ternate.4 
Will* On 24 January 1727, Jonker van Macassar 'appeared' before the Secretaris or Secretary of the Council of Policy, Daniel Thiebault, to execute his will with the assistance of a Portuguese interpreter. This assistance may have been accorded to him due to his royal status. He was in fact ill and confined to bed, so the official would have come to him. However, there is nothing in the record which indicates the will was ever probated. There are several edits in the original will. He is described as a Vrij gegeevene Leijffeijgen known to the Secretaris. His de facto wife Rosetta van Java named on this occasion as Rosetta van Java, is first described as sijne Concubine, this is deleted and substuted with de vrijswartinne. To her he bequeaths the slave Alexander van Couchin and stipulates that this bequest cannot be contested. To their son and daughter Jacob Jansen and Johanna Jonker, he leaves the slave September van Manda. A comment describing Jacob as door een ander persoon geprocreeert was crossed out, but at his 1730 baptism Jacob is described as halfslag, indicating his father was white and that he was therefor not the biological son of the prince. To his other son and daughter Jacob Jansen and Johanna Jonker, he bequeaths the slaves Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis. All of the slaves were to remain with his de facto wife until the children attained their majority. Rosetta van Java also inherited the residue of his estate except for Rds 50 given to Jacob to assist in raising the other children to majority.
(Father) MiscHe was a witness to swears the oath of loyalty, and becomes a vrijburgher at with Adolph Jonker on 16 October 1734 de Caab de Goede Hoop.5 
Names in the record, in publications, etc.An unknown date , the name of Jonker was written in the record as Kyai Chili Mahmud van Ternate Prince of Ternate.6,7
7 December 1708, the name of Jonker was written in the record as Kitsjel Dain Mamoedi.8
14 February 1717, the name of Jonker was written in the record as Katsili Daijan Mamoedij van Ternate Prins van Ternate.9
NotesKatzilimuda van Macassar appears to have been a high-ranking member of the Ternaten royalty sent into political exile at the Cape by the VOC, and a half-brother to Jonker van Macassar similarly exiled. He would therefor be the uncle of Adolph Jonker.10
Caciel Moeda of Limbotta may have been a high-ranking member of the Ternaten royalty sent into political exile at the Cape by the VOC. He arrived in the same period as Katzilimuda van Macassar. He may also have had a familial connection to Jonker van Macassar.11,12
On 7 December 1708 in a letter to Batavia, the authorities at the Cape forward a petition from Jonker van Macassar , described as Ternatan Prince Kitsjel Dain Mamoedie, in which he requests more liberal provision for his support. It is added that it is more expensive for 'such people [royalty due to large families and retinue?] ... to live here as regards food and clothes.' He is also said to have 'behaved himself quietly and well...8'
Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)April 1720 Jonker van Macassar and Rosetta van Java were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) in the Cape District, along with two sons, presumably Adolph Jonker and Jacob Jansen. This opgaaf while dated April 1720, was identified as that for 1719. Recorded with them were two male slaves, who may have been any of the following November of Origin Unknown, Leander van Malabar, Alexander van Couchin, September van Manda, Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis. All of these individuals appear variously in the record connected to one or both of the principles.13
1721 Jonker van Macassar and Rosetta van Java were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) in the, along with two sons, presumably Adolph Jonker and Jacob Jansen. Recorded with them were two male slaves, who may have been any of the following November of Origin Unknown, Leander van Malabar, Alexander van Couchin, September van Manda, Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis. All of these individuals appear variously in the record connected to one or both of the principles.14
1724 Jonker van Macassar and Rosetta van Java were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) in the Cape District, along with two sons, presumably Adolph Jonker and Jacob Jansen; and three daughters, two of whom were most likely Johanna Jonker and Catharina van de Caep. There was time between the 1721 and 1724 opgaafrollen for the birth of three daughters, one of whom would have died post 1724 (based on subsequent enumerations). Recorded with them were three male slaves, the first would have been Leander van Malabar. The other two may have been any of the following November of Origin Unknown, Alexander van Couchin, September van Manda, Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis.15
1725 Jonker van Macassar and Rosetta van Java were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) in the Cape District, along with two sons, presumably Adolph Jonker and Jacob Jansen; and two daughters, most likely Johanna Jonker and Catharina van de Caep. It is worth noting that a year earlier the couple had been enumerated with 3 daughters, one of whom now seems to have died. Recorded with them were four male slaves, who would have been Alexander van Couchin, September van Manda, Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis. All of these individuals appear variously in the record connected to one or both of the principles.16
1731 Jonker van Macassar and Rosetta van Java were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) in the, along with two sons, presumably Johannis van de Caep and Adriaan van der Caep. Recorded with them were two male slaves, who would have been one of the following individuals Alexander van Couchin, Cassamie of Origin Unknown and Fortuijn van Bougis. All of these individuals appear variously in the record connected to one or both of the principles. Significantly, Willem Duijsert, recorded as Willem Duytsers is living with the family. Is he perhaps their servant kindly taken in and allowed to run his 150 sheep on the family's lands due to a longstanding friendship? Duijsert and Jonker van Macassar, who on that occasion was recorded as Sriyay Moeda, were among those whom, in 1706, signed in support of Willem Adriaan van der Stel.17
Slave TransactionsAfter 23 April 1707 when her owner Willem Adriaan van der Stel departs the Cape, Rosetta van Java was apparently assigned to the household of Jonker van Macassar. As a baptised slave, she could not be sold. She was to become his concubine. It is assumed she was the same slave sold to Van der Stel in 1702, as there was no other individual at the Cape in this period who qualifies to be this woman.18
On 4 May 1718 November of Origin Unknown was sold by Matthijs Perreira to Jonker van Macassar, for Rds 105.19
Slave EmancipationsOn 17 September 1721 Leander van Malabar was emancipated by Jonker van Macassar, petitioned for his freedom from.20,21,22
Sometime before 24 January 1727, and perhaps as early as 1719, Rosetta van Java was emancipated - officially or perhaps unofficially as a consequence of her living with a high-profile member of the Ternaten royal family. This would not be the first instance of an individual slipping gradually into free status due to association. In 1719 she appears in the opgaafrol alongside her defacto spouse, Jonker van Macassar. In his 1724 will, she is first described as zijne Concubine, the words then being deleted and replaced with de vrijswartinne. The royal personage was clearly ambivalent about the mother of his children.23,13
On 11 February 1733 Jonker van Macassar applied to the Council of Policy through the ondercoopman, junior merchant Abraham Decker for the freedom of his children Adolph Jonker, Johanna Jonker and Catharina van de Caep whom he had fathered with his slave Rosetta van Java ( bij desselfs slavin...geteelt ). The children were named as Amel, Talie and Adel in the record, and the first two were already living with Decker, while the third, Adel, was living with Aletta de Beer the widow of Daniel Thibault. The prince also sought in this application to identify his three children as his heirs.24
On 24 April 1733 Adolph Jonker, Johanna Jonker and Catharina van de Caep were emancipated by order of the Council of Policy following the earlier request of their father, Jonker van Macassar. His application was submitted by the ondercoopman Abraham Decker who acted on his behalf. The children's mother Rosetta van Java described in this document as the slavin of the prince, was said to be overledenen, that is deceased.25

Leander of Malabar; a slave; was bought in 1717, at the sale on the farm of Mr. Samuel Elsevier, by the so-called Prince of Ternate, for Rds. 201. The Prince had promised him that if he refunded that amount to him, he would give him his liberty. Having worked hard to scrape the sum together, he paid the amount to the Prince, who having received it, refused to comply with his part of the arrangement. Petitioner therefore asks the Government to compel the Prince to manumit him. N.B. Receipt for the money is attached, with the Prince's mark on it. (No. 77 ; date, ?.).
