On 1 May 1665 Marij van Angola was sold by Zacharias Wagenaer to Luitenant Johannes Coon, for Rds 70 or ƒ210. Böeseken refers to her as Mary possibly from the island of Balie, and notes that in the record she was said to be a Baelse slavin. She also describes her as Mari van Bali. In his transcription, Hattingh records her to be the slavin Marie. Interestingly, although Hattingh cites the CTD (previously T&S) p.249 he describes it as Verlore i.e. lost.13,14,15

The latter said he was emancipating the couple in consideration of ten years of faithful service; even so Anthonij Jansz paid Rds 60 for their liberty.23,24,25,26
Slaves owned by individualsOn 1 November 1665 Helena NN and Dominga van de Caep van Helena were owned by Zacharias Wagenaer.27
On 1 November 1665 Annike van Bengale was owned by Zacharias Wagenaer.28
Louis van Bengale was a slave from Bengal who on 25 September 1666 de Caep de Goede Hoop was sold by Zacharias Wagenaer to the sekunde Hendrik Lacus and his wife Lidia de Pape for the sum of 80 rijksdaalders or f 270.29,30,31,32
Property TransactionsOn 20 December 1662 12 morgen and 5 roods (Rhineland measure) of land on the Liesbeecq river was granted to Jan Coenraad Visser by Commander Zacharias Wagenaer and the Council of Policy.33
Company JournalOn 16 October 1662 Zacharias Wagenaer wrote in his journal: October 6th. Very early this morning the freeman Jan Coenraad Visser shot a horrible wolf which had killed one of his young oxen.34
On 18 December 1662 Zacharias Wagenaer wrote in his journal: December 18. [1662] Early this morning the Commander went out to the country with the Land Surveyor to mark off for the freeman Jan Coenraad Visser some better corn land than he at present possesses at the Bosheuvel, and to grant it to him, at his request, in freehold. And as he complains that his old lands are so poor and sandy that last year, instead of 8 bushels of corn and barley which he had sown on it, he had this year not enjoyed more than 6 bushels from it, which is not sufficient to feed him with his wife and 5 small children, and this having been found to be the case, the Commander gave him 12 morgen of good land behind the Uytkyck, on the other side of the Liesbeecq, as will appear from the diagram. As of this date, Visser was father to only legitimate children, so it is unclear whether Wagenaer made the error when writing the journal, or whether it was made by a transcriber later. The farm was situated on the Liebeeck River at the site of the present day South African Astronomical Observatory - formerely the Royal Observatory.35
22 November 1663 Zacharias Wagenaer noted in his journal: This morning we were told that our interpretess Krotoa of the Goringhaicona who had disappeared last Friday with both her children, without saying a word, was staying in the country with a freeman named Thielman Hendricx , whose house is situated right in the way leading to the aforesaid Hottentoos; but as her brother-in-law, Oedasoa, takes little interest in her (as it is said) we doubt whether we shall fetch her back, or leave her there, as this lewd vixen (die lichtvaerdige prije) has often played us this trick, throwing aside her clean and neat clothes, and instead, using stinking old cattle hides, just like all other dirty Hottentoo women do.36


On 17 October 1664 Zacharias Wagenaer wrote in his journal: October 17th [1664]... The agriculturist Jan Coenraad Visser shot this day a big horrible wolf, which was brought into the Fort. As a reward he received ƒ20, the amount fixed by tariff.37

  25. [S418] Anna J. Böeseken, Slaves and Free Blacks at the Cape 1658-1700, p. 93. When the erf was given to Anthony from Bengal, he must have been a free man, but two days later we find another deed in which Zacharias Wagenaer frees his "Japanschen lijffeijgen gent. Anthonij" and his wife Annica from Bengal who had served him faithfully for 10 years, and who now paid him Rds. 60 for the liberty of the family, which included the children Elizabeth and Abrabam. It is easy to conclude that these two are one and the same person, and that Wagenaer, in the confusion of his last days at the Cape, first signed a deed giving property to his slave and signed the deed of liberation two days later. This is indeed what happened, …
