Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)

On 31 May 1657 Maria de la Queillerie enumerated in the muster roll, as the wife of the commander, along with their three children, who would have included their two oldest sons Lambertus van Riebeeck and Abraham van Riebeeck. Their daughter, Maria van Riebeeck, was born 17 days after this muster, and given that 3 children were mentioned, I wonder whether it was finalised after her birth. They were recorded with his personal female slaves from Batavia.²
