About Unknown Morgh

The baptismal records of Christijn Pietersz's sons Johannes and Andries describe them as "halfslag" (a term used to refer to slave children at the Cape who had a White/European parent https://www.stamouers.com/people-of-south-africa/slaves/677-glossar... ) .

Their shared use of the name of "Morgh" suggests that they were full brothers. Campbell et al state of Johannes " the consistency with which he used his Dutch surname in his letters suggests that he was conscious of it's effect in a society pervaded by colour prejudice". https://books.google.co.za/books?id=GIZECgAAQBAJ&pg=PT89&lpg=PT89&d...

This profile for their as yet unidentified father is therefore conjecture and open to revision based on further evidence.
