He was left the slave Piet van der Caab by his parents. When he died in 1818 his heirs were his brothers and sisters, or if they had already died, like his brother Nicolaas Jacobs, their children. It can therefore be assumed that he left no children of his own. The slave, Piet van de Kaap, was still with him.
