ANGELA (Ansela) VAN BENGALE

Angela VAN BENGALE was born about 1645. She died in 1720.

Anna de Koningh was born in Batavia, one of three children of the slave known as Angela of Bengal. The whole family was brought to the Cape by Pieter Kemp, a Free Burgher of Batavia, who sold them to Jan van Riebeeck (1619-1677). In 1662 Van Riebeeck sold the family to Abraham Gabbema, who when he was transferred to Batavia in 1666 set Angela and her three children free. It is not known what happened to her husband. In 1669 Angela married the Free Burgher Arnoldus Willemsz from Wesel, later known as Arnoldus Willemsz Basson; they had three children.^{https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Bengale-1#_note-text11">[6]}

On the 15 Dec 1669 she got married to Arnoldus Willemsz Basson = b3 Johannes Basson = b3c1 Arnoldus Johannes Basson = b3c1d3 Anna Catharina Basson = b6c7 Johannes Dewalt Hattingh = b6c7d4 *Johannes Dewalt Hattingh = b6c7d4e10 Christiaan Johannes Hattingh = b6c7d4e10f4 Martha Rhyna Hattingh = b2c1d2e2f2g3h4 Anna Elizabeth Sophia van Jaarsveldt = b4c2d5e4f11g3 Jacobus Johannes Burger Combrinck = my mother = me

Note:* Johannes Dewalt Hattingh was the half brother of Voortrekker leader Andries W.J. Pretorius. See pencil drawing of Andries Pretorius (19K) holding his sword. Hattingh was married to Anna Elisabeth Retief (after Hattingh passed away she married a Steenkamp) she kept a diary on the Great Trek and was the child of Francois Retief, older brother of Voortrekker leader Piet Retief. See (photo of brother (22k)of Piet Retief and also a photo of a sister of Francois & Piet Retief (16k) found in G Preller's book Piet Retief).

Angela was a slave from Bengale, India. The Ganges delta had numerous company stations, such as Hougli (Head Quarters), Kazimber, and Patna. Clothing, opium and salpeter (the later used in preparation of gunpowder) was sold here. She was brought on the ship Amersfoort to the Cape (W. Blommaert "Het Invoern van de Slavernij aan de Kaap", p 6 Archive Year Book of South Africa 1938 Vol I). In Oct 1655 van Riebeeck bought a slave family from commander Pieter Kemp. Domingo and Angela van Bengale and their three children. Angela was sold by Jan van Riebeeck on 19 Apr 1662 to Abraham Gabbema, on the next day he sold Domingo, Jan, Thomas and Claesje all from Angola, to Roeloff de Man. (One wonders whether this Domingo is the same as Angela's husband). On the 13th April 1666 Gabbema signed a document which would lead to Angela's freedom six months later, see reproduction of this document which gave Angela her freedom (58k), from Boeseken p102, 103. She was the third person to be freed from slavery at the Cape. Angela tried to save a Hottentot woman, Sara, who committed suicide by hanging, unfortunately she was already dead (Familia XVI p23). Angela got married on the 15 December 1669 to the free burgher Arnoldus Willemsz from Wesel, he is known as Arnoldus Willemsz Basson, they had three children: Willem baptised Aug 1670, Gerrit baptised 12 March 1673 and Johannes baptised 5 May 1675. Basson, her husband died in 1689 and Angela died ten years later. Apparently her son Johannes predeceased her and I am a descendant of him. Angela received two properties astitles according to Cairns p 86. Angela was also the mother of Anna de Koningh who got married to Olof Bergh, there is a drawing of Anna de Koningh which I have included at the beginning of Page 1.^{https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Bengale-1#_note-text1">[1]}
