A rare glimpse of purported country marks among enslaved laborers in Berbice (from an 1819 slave register)

A year later, in 1776 a resolution of the States General freed slaves brought to the Netherlands whose stay was longer than 6 months, or with special court permission 12 months.
Perhaps this is why Eleonora Susette was sent back to Berbice.

As I go through the notarial archives of Berbice, Essequibo and Demerara, I will share some of my findings here below 👇
Estate inventory of Christina Klonck (1814, Berbice). Among the enslaved we find two girls, Christina and Anna, described as twins👶👶

Upon her death in 1814, Klonck owned three plantations, dozens of plots of land and hundreds of enslaved people.

Klonck manumitted 8 of them through her last will.
