The rather good looking match with "Jacobus Senior, Pieter's son" in Folio W-71 of the Tulbagh slave register

Slave Owner

In the Slave Register of Tulbagh, Ledger W(et), one finds two people who could be his son, "Pieter, Jacobus' son" (Folio 5)^[8], and "Johannes Marthinus, Jacobus' son" (Folio 63)^[9], as well as a "Jacobus Senior, Pieter's son" (Folio 37)^[10]. In addition, in Folio 71^[11], we find a likely grandson, "Jacobus Francois, Pieter's son"^[12].

If this Jacobus lived to see 1817, like his wife, he may be the match to "Jacobus Senior, Pieter's son". In that case, he registered one slave on 23 Jan 1817, a 70 year old 'Cook Maid', Silvie from Malabar, ~60 years old, est. birth 23 Jan 1757.
