Likewise, at the request of Johannes Gustaaph Aspeling, who had served on the ship ‘Schoonderloo’ in the capacity of young sailor (jong matroos), a petition was made to grant him, together with his birthright of burgher freedom in this place, certain privileges. It was therefore approved to grant his request to Johannes Gustaaff Aspeling, on condition that he first repay the monthly wages which he had received from the Company during his voyage here, and that he also pay the usual transport fee.

1785–1789: sailor in the service of Sweden and the VOC.1789;

1803: Johannes offers the Government his services, as a duty he owes his native land. Was born at the Cape, and served 16 years at sea, five of which he spent in the Swedish service in different qualities. After that he spent six years in the service of the East India Company, and the last five years also as officer in that of the French Republic. He had besides been in different actions, in one of which it happened that the Corvette of war " La Curieuse," on board of which he was as officer, was sunk during the action, and he and 36 of his fellow-burghers were obliged to swim to one of the enemy's ships, on which they were made prisoners of war, and taken to England. They had however escaped to the French Republic, and as the Preliminaries of Peace had been concluded, he, with the knowledge of the " Minister de Marine," had gone on board the war ship " La Themis," bound to the Cape. She however passed the Cape, and went on to Mauritius. By permission of the said Minister, and by order of General Des Bruijlijs, he had however obtained a passage in the ship " L'Appolon " for this place, where memorialist safely arrived on the 2nd October last. Having been on shore a few days, he was ordered on board again, as eruptions had been discovered on some of the slaves of whom the ship's cargo consisted, with strict orders that she was to proceed to sea immediately. As the  eruptions were, however, found to be harmless, he was finally, after great trouble, allowed to land on Robben Island, all his property having to be left on board. He was kept in quarantine there for a considerable time, and hence, because of everything stated above, but especially on account of his ambition again to serve his mother country, he asks for an appointment at the Harbour Wharf, or any other suitable to his antecedents.

 (N.B. He gives as his address " Berg Straat, No. 29," now St. George's Street.) (No. 28 ; date, 5th March.)

Johannes has for 15 years served at the Judicial office, under the successive secretaries, C. L. Neethling and W. S. van Rijneveld, and finally under the present secretary " Magister " J. A. Truter, as senior clerk, and especially as vendu clerk, and, as he trusts, to the full satisfaction of his  superiors which the two last are still alive [1803] will testify. Now that the Colony has happily been restored to the Motherland, he wishes to continue in the service, and be useful to his birthplace. He therefore asks for permanent employment.

1806: Aspeling (Dirk Jacobus) ; Memorial of stating that between the places of Messrs. Manenberg and D. Leibbrandt, or else on the Bommelshoks Rivier, there is a plot of ground which he would like to have for cultivation and in freehold. Abraham Fleck, member of the Court of Justice ; Johan Christiaan Brasler, member of the Burgher Senate ; John Francis Grand, Inspector of Government Lands, and Jan Willem Wernich, Sworn Land Surveyor, report that, by order of General Sir David Baird, they had inspected a. piece of land at the Bommelshok asked for in freehold by D. J. Aspeling. They found the size of it to be 10 morgen and 29 square roods, and that it might without prejudice be given to the petitioner in freehold for Rds. 25.
