BirthOrigin*

Domingo was from Masulipatnam and perhaps born there between 1676 and 1677.¹

Names in the record, in publications, etc.

24 October 1695, the name of Domingo was written in the record as Domingo van Malabar.²

Slave Transactions

On 2 January 1687 Domingo van Masulipatnam was sold by Andries Els to Theunis Dircksen Schalckwyck, for Rds. 25.³
On 24 October 1695 Emanuel van Malabar and Domingo van Masulipatnam were were exchanged by Theunis Dircksen van Schalckwyck for Arent van Madagascar who was owned by Jan Maerschalk. Domingo van Masulipatnam was permitted to keep his money. Because he fits the age profile and there seems to be no other candidate, I have assumed Domingo to be the same individual purchased by Van Schalckwijck in 1687 even though on that occasion he was described as from Masulipatnam. Corrections welcome.²
