  1. [S547] Daniel Jacobs, Die Vosloos, Nuttige Landsburgers, Deel II, Familie Register (40 Heerengracht, Cape Town: Ton Vosloo, 2003), p.78. Dr. Anna Böeseken het in haar Slaves and Free Blacks at the Cape verwys na 'n dokument waarvolgens Jan Vosloo op 20 November 1696 die slavin Helena van Malabar en haar tweejarige kind vrygestel het. Sy verwys op een plek in die publikasie na die kind as Jannetje, wat 'n meisienaam is, en op 'n ander plek weer as Jantje, wat 'n seunsnaam is. Dít terwyl die spelling in die oorspronklike dokument Jannetie, 'n meisienaam, is. Dié dokument [Transporten en Scheepenkennis] meld ook dat die kind 'n meisietjie was. Ander navorsers het moontlik op grond van dr. Bóeseken se transkripsie van die naam as Jantje aangeneem dat hierdie kind Johannes was vrygestel is, beteken dat sy Jan se persoonlike slavin was. Hy sou immers nie 'n Kompanjieslavin kon vrystel nie.. Hereinafter cited as Die Vosloos, Nuttige Landsburgers, Register.

  3. [S415] Mansell Upham, "Johann Vosloo", p. 6-11. Investigation thus far, reveals that Johann Vosloo appears possibly to have been more (openly?) liberal than most free-burghers and Company officials at the Cape of Good Hope in the early colonial period in his dealings with the slave women at hand - either his own or those belonging to others and/or the Company. Johann Vosloo appears to have fathered at least 6 children by 6 different slave women:
    (1) Marla Vosloo (mother unknown)
    (2) Jannetje (mother: Helena van Malabar)
    (3) Helena / Lena Vosloo (mother unknown Company slave)
    (4) Casper Vosloo (Apollonia)
    (5) Jobannes Vosloo (Constantia?)
    (6) Catrijn (Catrijn van Madagascar).
