Mansell Upham remarks on p.40 of http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/RemarkableWriting/UL20ExtremestEnd.pdf:

"Cape-born halfslag Catharina Hillebrants: aka Catharina Wijkers: and likely daughter of Elisabeth (Lijsbeth) aka Sabba van Angola."

Does anybody have any corroboration of her birth as a halfslag in the Cape? Or proof of parentage, mother or father?

There is no proof that Catharina was born in the Cape. Perhaps in the Nederlands
Hillebrant is a Prussian (German) surname.

I'm guessing that Upham has found no proof of her arrival at the Cape with her parents, or proof of her birth outside of the Cape; and perhaps has assumed -- or can show -- that she is one of the many Catharinas in the Slave Lodge records.

Just looking for any corroborative sources at this point, either way.

Yes, I agree that would be very good to have.
