Notes:
Prior to coming to the Cape around 1708, he had lived with his family on the island of Mauritius, then a Dutch East India Company Settlement, where they had grown sweet potatotes on the Lemoenboomvlakte. In 1696 he had two slaves to help him and they were expected to plant out 1000 half-aums of sweet potatoes each year and then dig up the crop. The Comander at Mauritius suggests that for this they really need about 30 or 40 slaves. Upon the abandonment of the settlement on Mauritius, he was one of the freemen who elected to go to the Cape (rather than to Batavia) (Source: Leibbrandt - Letters Received 1695-1708, pages 92, 168 & 453) On the 11th March 1711 he and his son, Pieter Zaaijman, informed the Burgerraad that they were planning to move from the Cape District to that of Stellenbosch and received permission to do so. (1 STB 15/2) At the time of his death he owned a house and yard in the Table Valley, block gg, numbers 11 and 12. This house was sold from his estate to Jan Jacob Stockvliet in March of the following year. His household goods seem to have been minimal, a bed, mattress and pillows plus some table and kitchen ware. Apart from these, a large stock of silver buttons (58) and trouser fittings perhaps indicates that he dealt in these? There is also a chest with coopering tools, perhaps another trade he or one of his five slaves, practised. His children are listed in the order given in the documents below.
