Notes
Birth
Met haar afsterwe in 1772 word genoem dat sy 97 jaar oud was. Dit sou beteken dat sy in 1675 gebore is. Sy is egter in 1684 gedoop, en alhoewel sommige kinders etlike jare na hulle geboorte gedoop is, is 'n 9-jaar wagtyd redelik ongehoord van. Dit is egter nie onmoontlik nie - met Hendrik Gijsbertsz Verschuur se afsterwe in 1694 word genoem dat twee van sy kinders mondig is. Mondigheid is in daardie met 25 bereik, wat beteken dat twee van sy kinders voor 1669 gebore is - die eerste is in 1671 gedoop.Christen

Miscellaneous
Uit bron:[Hilletje Verschuur] directed and controlled the most important affairs of her son Christiaan Frederick, who, on account of the weakness of his mind, was
unable himself to do so; that she continued to do so until 1765,
when, in consequence of her great age, she requested [Bookkeeper Johannes Knockers] to take over the administration, and also accept a
power of attorney from her son. [Knockers] accordingly assisted in admin-
istering the latter's affairs, but from time to time discovered that the said
Hop was in no way attending to his affairs, and was more and more
going backward. That often [Knockers] has heard from people, with whom
Hop associated in the country, that he was not in a state to control his slaves
properly, so that they completely played the master on his farm, and committed all kinds of wantonness and thefts, robbing him of his own, and
going to such extremes, that if no provision be made against it, Hop would,
as incapable of managing his own affairs, in time be quite impoverished.
Court appearance
