Saba’s Population List of 1823.
These are only the white males of households on the island which was still in a state of slavery at the time. Dutch historians have constantly tried to make the native islanders as descended of Dutch settlers. Even the new arrogant colonialists tell people that Sabans never contributed anything to their own history and that I am telling history in my own way without proper research and so on. Well check this population list of 1823 and tell me who is a Dutchman on the list.These residents of 1823 can trace their ancestry back to 1665 when the pirates from Jamaica captured the island. Others go back to settlers from St. Kitts from 1629.
For the record here now is the 1823 census:
