Susanna Uytendahl

Citat fra "Anna Heegaard, mistress of Governor General Peter von Scholten".

Left on her own, Susanna raised Jacob Heegaard's child with the help of her mother. The records indicate indicate that at the age of 14, on July 8, 1804, Anna was confirmed in the Lutheran Chuch, Christiansted. She was listed as a one-forth coloured person.

Susanna Uytendahl's financial and domestic difficulties were eased somewhat, when she intered in a common law relationship with an amiable retired sea Captain, Hans Cappel. She bore him to daugthers before he died in 1798.

Next, Susanna lived with a Danish shopkeeper and widower, Peter Abraham Wittrog, in a relationship that endured for 10 years. During this period, Susanna bore Wittrog a son. By all indications, Anna Heegaard, got along well with her half-brother and her 2 half-sisters.
Trougout her mother's relationships, Anna was reared and accepted as a member of the particular family in which she found herself.

She grew into an attractive, confident and self reliant person.
