GENEALOGICAL TRACEABLE DESCENDANTS There were obviously liaisons between the slave women and the men at the Cape. The Slave Lodge served as a de facto brothel. The Slave Lodge thus served as the breeding house for many families since that was the dwelling place of many a stammoeder. A number of the slave women were manumitted and got married. A far greater number of their daughters who were 'half-slag' became brides for the free burgher. These Cape born children often had as their last name the toponym 'van de Kaap', 'van de Cabo'. It should be kept in mind that sometimes this toponym was also used for burghers born at the Cape. There are some of these people who are referred to as 'van de Kaap' and one may suspect that they are from slave descent but unfortunately who their mother or father was are not known.

Heese ("Groep Sonder Grense") gives KOCH, Gottfried [from] Anhalt x 1770 Rachel v.d.K. Hoge, p. 208 ["Personalia of the Germans at the Cape"] There are also a number of CLAASENs listed. (This is from the Appendix, which lists mixed-race relationships.) In SA Genealogies Vol. 4 p. 363 we have Gottfried Friedrich KOCK xx 4.4.1779 Aletta CLAASEN wed. v. Johannes DETLEEFS. If you do not have access to these books, let me know.
