Vrijbriewen and Burgher StatusWouter Mostert became a burgher in 1657, in Dutch vryburgher or vrijburgher, initially a status in which a soldier or other employee of the VOC was released from their contractual obligations to the VOC and permitted to farm, become a tradesman, or work for others. Subsequently some individuals, including the Huguenot refugees, were brought to the Cape specifically to farm and were burghers from the time of their arrival Liesbeeck River, de Caep de Goede Hoop.30
On 14 April 1657, Wouter Mostert was granted a vrijbrief or letter of freedom which released him from his contractual obligations to the VOC and accorded him the status of vrijburgher or free burgher. The vrijbrief was signed by Rijcklof van Goens.31
Slave BirthsCirca 1665, Maria Bartelz was born in bondage and was owned by Wouter Mostaert de Caep de Goede Hoop, the date is estimated based on her witnessing a baptism in 1684.32
Circa 1671, Marta Manuels was born in bondage and was owned by Wouter Mostert de Caep de Goede Hoop.33,34
Circa 1674, Magdalena van de Caep was born in bondage and was owned by Wouter Mostert de Caep de Goede Hoop.33

Simon van Angola was sold by Wouter Mostert, to Jochem Marquaert and Coenraad Urbanus on 1 April 1666. However if Simon died within 6 months, Mostaert was to give the purchasers "Hans". This was presumably the slave purchased by Mostaert from Thomas Christoffel Muller in 1662, i.e. Oude Hans van Guinea. If on the other hand, Hans was to die within the same period, then the purchasers would have no further claim against the seller. In separately recorded transactions on the same date, Mostert sold to the same purchasers two erven in Table Valley. The purchase price for the series of transactions, which also included 50 sheep, was f 1000 for which the purchasers signed a lien.35,40,41

Mostert was enjoined to never sell Aro, however ownership could be transferred to his heirs if he died.44,45

Slaves owned by individualsBetween 28 March 1658 and 11 April 1658 the recently arrived slaves from Angola were allocated to different officials, and Elisabeth van Angola and Manuel van Angola were likely the male and female slaves assigned to Wouter Mostert as millers and stable boy.57,58
On 6 September 1665 Lijsbeth Arabus was owned by Wouter Mostert.2
Before 12 November 1671 Anthoni NN was owned by Wouter Mostert.13

The land and house was located at the voet of pas between False Bay and the Table Bay harbour, east of Windberg [Wynberg?] to the east the fresh water river Liesbeecw, to the west the hereweg [main road], to the south Hendrick Hendricksz Boom's developed land, and to the north the Company's wild and undeveloped land. He was paid f 525.3.6 in cash which went toward unpaid taxes and debt, except for f 125 in half compensation for two unnamed absconded slaves, and one unnamed deceased female slave, as well as f 100 for a female Angola slave, presumably Isabella van Angola, for whom he was still indebted to the Company in the sum of f 225 - this amount also included 2 sheep and some of the implements/tools. This slave was given to his wife to help him build up again. The transaction also included his cattle and sheep stolen by the Hottentotte. He had owned the property in partnership with Wouter Mostert, but in a transaction on the same date, the latter's half-share was been sold to Cornelis Claasz who, on the 16th of the following month sold it to Jan van Riebeeck.59
On 8 November 1673 Anthonij de Later van Japan granted Wouter Mostert and Joannes Valckenryck authority, in the event of his relocation, to sell his home in Zeestraat along with his fishing vessel, household goods, chairs and benches at a price to which he agrees or that they can get to his best advantage, to collect the payment(s) and to act against defaulters.60
