Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)In 1674 Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol under the name Schotze Marie - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated separately and also alone. Her children Aeltje Wilhelmse and Cornelis Ockers appear to be enumerated among three unnamed children in the guardianship of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Janssen van Westhuisen under the entry 'd' Lieren [sic] 3 k[inders]. I am not sure who the third child was.12
In 1675 Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol Cape district under the name Schotze Marie - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated separately and also alone. Her three unnamed children Aeltje Wilhelmse, Cornelis Ockers and Dina Olivier appear to be enumerated in the guardianship of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Janssen van Westhuisen under the entry 'd' Lieren [sic] 3 k[inders].13
Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol of 1677 under the name Schotze Marij - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated with his brother Hendrick Cornelisz Olivier and his two unnamed children, presumably Cornelis Ockers and Dina Olivier. Her oldest daughter Aeltje Wilhelmse may still have been in the care of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Jansz van der Westhuijsen.14
1678 Jan Coenraad Visser and Grietje Gerrits were enumerated on the opgaafrol (census/tax roll) (Cape Town) as one man along with a wife, three sons (?) and three daughters. By this time Grof had custody of the two illegitimate children [Cornelis Ockers and Dina Olivier] of his eldest daughter Maria. Presumably these included Coenraad Janse Visser, Zacharia Jansz Visser, Johannes Visser and Dina Olivier.15
