Notes
Emigration
Jan Wesselsz van Haeffkenbeeck het in 1662 as verstekeling na die Kaap gekom.Op 05.06.1662 is hy weer teruggestuur:
The following stowaways have been placed on board the Zeeridder, vis: Robbert Robbertsz, of the Cape; Jan Wesselsz, of Haeffkenbeeck; Frederick Jansz, of Alkmaer; and Jan Cornelisz, of Dorth.
Two others broke their bonds, and we believe that they must have been drowned between the ships and the land.
