On 23 April 1844, Annaatje was manumitted and recorded with the name Anna Visser. The entry identifies her owner as J.G. Balfour van Burleigh and preserves a resolution number. The change from diminutive enslaved name to registered name demonstrates the colonial state’s role in documenting identity; the record cannot establish whether Anna chose that name.
