  • Notes 
    • Dugher of Willem Schalks who had been born in1640 in Oud-Beijerland near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, entered the company service and arrived at the Cape in 1661 on the «i»Dordrecht«/i», as a soldier. However by 1664 he was working as an agriculturist at the company barn (today the lovely «i»Groote Schuur«/i», residence of the President of South Africa). He had a relationship with a company slave, Koddo van Guinea, who had arrived at the Cape in 1658, and a formal complaint against him was made in 1664 by Pieter Cruithof, in charge at the «i»Groote Schuur.«/i» He was accused of being drunk, of threatening Cruithof with a gun. Further he did this "...«i»on account of a certain female slave by whom he has a child, and whom he had accommodated in the kitchen at the time of her lying in. He likewise, every hour of the day, took care of her by preparing her food and fetching water and fuel. What is more, when she was being confined he came knocking and begged me to give him his brandy.I
