On May 9, 1804, at the courthouse in Ntabroek in Rio Demerary, several legal property transfers took place. First, Mr. M La Mairon as president and J.C. Doncke as council commissioner witnessed a transfer dating from May 4, 1802. I Luike, acting as general representative for Joseph Ward and his wife Elisabeth Ward, transferred ownership of two pieces of land located at the front of a plantation. This land was marked as No. 24 on the general map, including all buildings on it. The property had been previously transferred to the seller on January 11 by I.P. Muncker. The buyer was G Egeling, who accepted the transfer after full payment was made.
In a second transaction on the same day, Gysbert Egeling transferred four pieces of land, also located at the front of the plantation "Werk en Rusten," to the company of A.J. Kolwijk & Company. I Kolwijk, representing his firm, accepted the transfer after making full payment.
Both transactions were properly witnessed and signed by the officials present.
