General Notes: Birth name give as MITTONS.

Maria's first child (Charlotte) was born about 1847 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The father is unknown and this was 2 years before she married Thomas Watman (1849). It is assumed that Charlotte was born out of wedlock.
She married Thomas William Michael Watman in Cape Town, 28 May 1849.
Her second child (Thomas Michael) was born 2 September 1850 to Thomas Watman.

Maria MITTENS

Maria apparently separated from first husband Thomas Watman within a couple of years of marriage, although whether
mutual or if not initiated by whom is not known. It would explain why a marriage between Maria and William Kendall
has never been located - it likely never occurred. It is worth noting that at the time of her father's death in 1857 (some
years after she formed the relationship with William Kendall), her brother Joseph still recorded Maria as Maria Watman
on their father's death certificate. Either Joseph (Thomas's son) was unaware of the new relationship, or there was no formal marriage it would seem.
Met William Kendall about 1852 (although if married is unknown). In the early 1850's, they moved to Paarl, about 50 km (30 miles) from Cape Town. Where the next six children were born.

In 1864 the family moved to Onehunga, New Zealand where the last two of ten children were born.

General Notes: The background of Joseph Mittens is not known, but it is thought that he was also a slave.
The vast majority of slaves on St Helena came from MADAGASCAR rather than the mainland of AFRICA as MADAGASCAR was on the direct trade route from INDIA to ENGLAND via the Atlantic Ocean with St Helena Island being a main stopover. It is not known if he was second or third generation born on St Helena.

1814 census for St Helena shows Joseph as the owner of 3 cows and 3 calves.
This would indicate that he was a 'freed slave' at that time.

Joseph married Sophia YATES on 16 May 1812 in St James CoE church, Jamestown, St Helena Island. Sophia was born about 1768 in Jamestown, St Helena Island and died on 27 Mar 1841 in Jamestown, St Helena Island aged about 73.

29. Sophia YATES, daughter of Thomas YATES and Unknown mulatto woman, was born about 1768 in Jamestown, St Helena Island and died on 27 Mar 1841 in Jamestown, St Helena Island aged about 73.

General Notes: Sophia Yates was born circa 1768 at Jamestown, St. Helena Island, South Atlantic Ocean, the child of an Englishman. Thomas Yates and a mulatto woman. A mulatto was what a child of a white person and a Negro was called. As the child of a white person and a mulatto, Sophia would have been classed as a quadroon (i.e. on quarter black).
Although there were a significant number of free Negroes living on St. Helena at the time, it is almost certain that Sophia's mother was a slave. Being referred to only as a mulatto woman, rather than by name indicates this. Sophia's mother was most likely a slave owned by Thomas Yates. Given that Sophia's marriage to Joseph Mittens did not take place until 1812 (twenty years after they got together), provides some confirmation that Sophia started out life as a slave.
That being said, the record of her marriage indicates that she was free in 1812 when she married.

Sophia married Joseph MITTENS on 16 May 1812 in St James CoE church, Jamestown, St Helena Island. Joseph was born before 1770 in St Helena Island, died about 19 Nov 1817 in Jamestown, St Helena Island, and was buried on 20 Nov 1817 in Jamestown, St Helena Island.
