Names of Slaves and Free Blacks

The following list is taken from Frank R. Bradlow and Margaret Cairns, The Early Cape Muslims, appendix II.

A note by the authors says that the list of names is a random selection culled from various sources. The date after the name in brackets is taken from the relative source. Some of the names have been Angli¬cised by the author.
