Hoge 'The family of the Rajah of Tambora at the Cape' "A year after her huband's death, his widow requested the Cape government to send her and her five children back to Batavia, declaring that she was 41 years old and so poor that she was scarcely able to support her children. In her request she calls herself Care Sals; her children were Ibraim Adahan (aged 21), Mochamat Aserk (aged 9), Mochamat Dayan (aged 7), Mochamat Asim (aged 4) and a daughter, Sitina Asia (aged 17). It appears that her request was not granted, for she was still living at the Cape in 1740."
