Death

Not long before 27 Nov 1817

The slave registers of her last husband, Jacobus Jordaan, mention that on 27 Nov 1817 two slaves were sold at auction because they were jointly owned with the then deceased Rachel Hugo, but they were then also bought 'back' by Jacobus, as he wanted to keep these two for himself.

Interesting fact: these slaves were registered under his name only, but clearly, they were jointly owned, like the whole farm of De Doorns, that came via Rachel's first marriage. It seems that Jacobus wanted to make sure that his Rossouw step-children got their proper part from the value of her inheritence?
