On 4 March 1837, H. van der Meulen issued a disposition concerning 18 unnamed people. A notice published the following week gives their names, including Maria Olaria and her daughter Maria Beatris, Gracia Assencion and her daughter Cicilia, and people associated with Aruba, St. Martin, and other places. The naming record preserves kinship and place, though its administrative framing turns many lives into one collective file.
