Research Notes

• After Governor de Graaff and the independent fiscaal left the Cape hurriedly, Jacob Pieter de Nys was appointed independent fiscaal by the temporary Governor Rhenius. See p52 of masters thesis on this period of the Cape
• This previous fact makes it likely that the de Nys indicated on an 1785 map of Cape Town was Jacob Pieter
