Notes: Christiaan Ras appears in 1719 as one of the orphans whose inheritance is in the care of the Cape Weeskamer, alongside Johannes, Maria and Hendrik Ras, each being worth 300 gulden. A Christiaan Ras appears once, in 1723, in the opgaaf returns, just a man, his horse and his weapons, so presumably a young man, but Christiaan is not listed among the children of Maria Ras in the inventory drawn up on the 12th July 1723.
