Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)In 1674 Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol under the name Schotze Marie - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated separately and also alone. Her children Aeltje Wilhelmse and Cornelis Ockers appear to be enumerated among three unnamed children in the guardianship of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Janssen van Westhuisen under the entry 'd' Lieren [sic] 3 k[inders]. I am not sure who the third child was.6
In 1675 Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol Cape district under the name Schotze Marie - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated separately and also alone. Her three unnamed children Aeltje Wilhelmse, Cornelis Ockers and Dina Olivier appear to be enumerated in the guardianship of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Janssen van Westhuisen under the entry 'd' Lieren [sic] 3 k[inders].7
In 1677 Maria Jansz Visser appears to be enumerated alone in the monsterrol under the name Schotze Marij - my thanks to Mansell Upham for pointing out that a process of elimination led him to this conclusion. Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier with whom she was engaged in an extra-marital relationship was enumerated with his brother Hendrick Cornelisz Olivier and his two unnamed children, presumably Cornelis Ockers and Dina Olivier. Her oldest daughter Aeltje Wilhelmse may still have been in the care of Maria Hendricksz Winkelhausen and Pieter Jansz van der Westhuijsen.8
Crime and relatedOn 27 April 1672 Wilhelm Wilhelmse van Deventer shot and killed his 'Hottentot' servant and, to avoid arrest, absconded. On 4 May he stowed away on the Malgas, a Danish vessel, and when he failed to appear before the Council of Justice on 14 May, he was declared fugitive, a warrant for his arrest was issued and he was banned in perpetuity from the Cape. But in Patria, after petitioning the Heeren XVII, he was pardoned by the Prince of Orange and permitted to return to the Cape. He returned on the Europa which arrived at the Cape on 1 July 1673. The authorities at the Cape decided to investigate further and meanwhile detained him on Robben Island. Returning to the mainland in September 1675, he discovered his wife Maria had produced two children with his servant an unknown person.9,10
On 18 August 1676 Maria Jansz Visser was arraigned before the Council of Justice for licentious adultery after her husband Wilhelm Wilhelmse van Deventer discovered she had been cohabiting with Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier. The two came to blows and the Council of Policy resolved to send them separately to Batavia while detaining her lover on Robben Island. However the couple reconciled, and they were instead sent together on De Vrije Zee, departing on 2 September 1676. They returned to the Cape in May 1677.11
Slave TransactionsOn 31 December 1677 Pieter Pompstock van Madagascar was sold by Hubert Hoffen to Ocker Cornelis, for Rds. 45.12,13
On 5 May 1686 Claas van Madagascar and Isabel van Madagascar were sold by William Deeron to Ockert Corneliszoon Olivier, amount not specified.14
