Notes - There are sevral records of slave transfers involving the Widow van Rensburg.
On November 17, 1729 the records show she sold a number of slaves - as this was after her death, one presumes it was a deceased estate sale:
Joseph van Malabar to Jan Bastiaans for 208 Rixdollars.
Hans van de Kus to Gerrit van Aaarde for 52 Rixdollars
Coridon van Malabar to Johannes van Rensburg, her son, for 198 Rixdollars
Anthonij van Malabar to Hans Potgieter for 71 Rixdollars
