  Volgens SAG 1 was sy die vrygestelde slavin van Abraham Gabbema (sekunde) en wed. van Domingo.
  
  Mansell Upham verduidelik haar naam as volg op die SAgenealogie gespreksgroep:
  
  "Angela van Bengale kom voor as "Maaij Ansela" in die Opgaaf van 1692. Die
  terme 'maaij' en 'paaij' was terme van respek - alhoewel nog steeds 'patroniserend' - wat gewoonlik aan ou, oud en afgeleefde slawe en slavinne gekoppel was. Die woorde is variasies op 'moeder' en 'v ader' want in die ou dae moes hierdie mense almal oppas.
  
  Die benoeming "Mooij [sic] Ansela" is 'n transkriberingsfout wat ek jare terug - tot my groot spyt gemaak het - en die naam het nogal baie sy rondtes (met erkenning en sonder erkenning!) in drukvorm e n op die internet in die laaste paar jare gedoen. Omtrent "haar naam in werklikheid", sy verskyn in die rekords o.a. as: Anchela / Ancelaar / Ancsela / Angela /Angella / Angila / Angiela / Anjella / Ansela / Anselaar / Ansiela / Ansla / Ansilla / Engela / Hansela van Bengale(n). Kies maar..."

  “An interesting early example [of freed slaves becoming successful traders themselves] is Angela of Bengal, a remarkable Indian slave woman brought to the Cape by magistrate Pieter Kemp and sold to Jan van Riebeeck. In 1662 Van Riebeeck sold her to Abraham Gabbema, who liberated her four years later ‘out of pure goodwill’. She was only the third slave to be freed at the Cape.
  
  “Angela was given a small plot in what we today call Cape Town’s City Bowl, where she grew vegetables to sell to passing ships. She soon became quite wealthy, even employing a slave by the name of Scipio Africanus. Angela complied with all the white community’s minimum standards for entry into their society: she was baptised as a Christian, attended church regularly and spoke Dutch.
  
  “In 1669 she married the Dutch free burgher Arnoldus Willemsz Basson and bore him three sons, Willem, Gerrit and Johannes. Within a few years after her husband’s death she had more than doubled the joint estate. All her children from her two marriages married white people and many living Afrikaner families have her as their ancestral mother.”

  The following is some information on Angela of Bengal’s life: In 1655 Jan van Riebeeck bought this slave from Pieter Kemp. When van Riebeeck’s granddaughter, Johanna Maria, visited the Cape in 1710 she wrote in a letter about “Ansiela” who had looked after her father and his brothers and sisters (the van Riebeeck children). Johanna Maria also mentioned that Ansiela had later married a Dutchman and that her daughter was the wife of Captain “B”. This was indeed the case, as “Maai” [derivation of ma (mother) ‘old woman’] Angela, also spelt Ansiela, married Arnoldus Basson after her manumission and thus became the progenitress of the Basson family of South Africa . While Angela was still in slavery her daughter Anna (de Koning) was born from an extra-marital relationship with a European. Not only was Anna very attractive, but was also well educated and her signature appears on a number of documents. She was married to Captain Oloff Bergh and in her turn became the progenitress of the Bergh family of South Africa .
