Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)

In 1673 Maria Jansz Visser appeared on the muster roll in 1673. She is recorded without her husband who had absconded after killing a 'Hottentot'. Two unnamed children are recorded with her, one of whom must have been Aeltje Wilhelmse. By then she had also had two sons, Hendrick Wilhelmse and Willem Wilhelmse, one of whom must have been the second child.²
