BirthOrigin*Pedro was from São Tomé and was perhaps born there circa 1654. He was described as a slaeffjie in the 1664 record, presumably indicating he was quite young - perhaps 10 or younger.2,3,4 
Slave TransactionsOn 15 March 1664 Pedro van St. Thomé was sold by Michiel Roelofsz de Jonge to Wouter Mostert de Caep de Goede Hoop.5,3

Roelofsz arrived at the Cape from Texel on 29 Dec 1663 as skipper of the Wapen van Hoorn - I am guessing therefor that Pedro came from the island of São Tomé (now the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe) off the Guinea coast.).
