  68. [S606] J.L. (Leon) Hattingh, "Foute en regstellings", Op bladsy 152 verskyn hierdie twee stukke byvoorbeeld identies, naamlik:

    "3.4.1688, pp. 67-68: Antoni from Macassar (40), sold by Herman Gresnigt to Henning Hüsing for Rds. 36 on condition that slave be freed three years later", en
    "3.4.1688, pp. 69-70: Jan from Madagascar (38), sold by Herman Gresnigt to Henning Hüsing for Rds. 36 on condition that slave be freed three years later".

    As hierdie twee dokumente egter in hul oorspronklike vorm noukeurig gelees word, dan blyk dit dat Jan en Antoni - altwee is van Macassar - deur Gresnigt vrygestel word op die voorwaarde dat hulle Hüsing vir nog drie jaar sal dien. Benewens hul kos en klere sal hy hulle ook nog teen 12 Rds. per jaar vergoed. Eers daarna sal hulle kan kies of hulle as vryknegte by Hüsing wil aanbly en of hulle elders hulle kos wil gaan win. Böeseken se rapportering is dus geen getroue weergawe van die dokumente nie.

  71. [S432] Robert C-H Shell compiler, Changing Hands, Susanna [Testamentary manumission by Anthonij van Angola.].
  72. [S521] Margaret Cairns, "Gerrit Gerrits of Oldenburg and Susanna of Bambaser: An early 18th century couple", Familia (Gerrits & Bambaser) 17, nr. 3/4 (1990): However it seems obvious that she had been at the Cape for a few years before 1696 for this document is in fact her emancipation from slavery, and it provides details of her life that would otherwise have remained hidden. It is a fascinating document and far more than the stereotyped freedom papers usually to be found, for Hugo de Goyer, the secretary of the Council of Policy which normally handles such matters, added that six weeks before his death, her late master Anthony of Angola had told him "synde geweest de lyfeigen van Anthony van Angola", that he intended to free her from slavery. This freedom was to include that of her child, fathered by another man, and her unborn child by Anthony himself. Unfortunately Anthony died before he could carry out his promise and his posthumous son was therefore born a slave. However, the matter of the proposed emancipation had apparently been common knowledge and two well-known burgers of Stellenbosch where Anthony lived, Hans Jurgen Grimpe and Pieter van der Bijl came to the aid of Susanna and the deposition that they made to this effect bore sufficient weight for the authorities to grant the requested freedom forthwith.. Hereinafter cited as "Gerrits & Bambaser."
  73. [S606] J.L. (Leon) Hattingh, "Foute en regstellings", En ofskoon Böeseken geen plek van herkoms vir die slavin Susanna verstrek nie, word dit in die betrokke document van 22.10.1696 as "Bombasa" aangegee.
