1713 was die jaar waarin die vernietigende pokke-epidemie die Kaapse vlek asook die platteland getref het met ’n ongekende aantal sterftes onder almal – vryman, slaaf, asook inheemse mense. Lees van Gesaghebber Willem Helot wie posisie verdag klink, die poging tot moord beplan deur Willem Mensink wat skotvry waarskynlik ’n skuldige gewete moes sus, en die uitwerking van die Vredesverdrag van Utrecht wat tot aan Cabo gevoel is.
75 jaar later, in 1789, het die gang van die wêreld baie verander, talle skepe van verskillende Westerse lande doen maandeliks by die Kaapse hawe aan, die plaaslike militêre mag word versterk deur buitelandse legioene, o.a. dié van De Meuron, Württemberg en Luxemburg, en nuus van die Franse Revolusie wat ook hierdie uithoek bereik, hou later ernstige gevolge vir hierdie kolonie in. Die name en omstandighede van talle mense word in al bg. dagregisters genoem.
