Slave Emancipations

On 7 June 1687 Izak van Ternate acquired his freedom from Henningh Hùijsing iin exchange for another four years, eight months faithful service.⁴
On 17 July 1692 the emancipation of Izak van Ternate by Henningh Hùijsing comes into effect, five months after the due date. Like others similarly freed before him, he was permitted to reside and farm in Stellebosch as a vrijman or freeman.⁵
