In 1748 he petitioned the Council of Justice, stating that 'during a period of fully 40 years, he had held the offices of Sick Visitor, "Voorlezer" and "Voorzanger" in the Drakenstein Congregation, as far as he is aware, to the satisfaction of his superiors: he has, however, now attained to such old age that he can no longer discharge his duties properly and therefore humbly prays the Governor and the Council to relieve him of his duties and to permit him to remain here "onder afgescherven gage" (unsalaried) and, should he obtain this favour, he further begs that the Council may ... appoint his son Abraham ... [to] the post'. (quoted from: Leibbrandt, H.C.V. - Requesten (Memorials) 1715-1806, page 79e)
