BirthOrigin*Jacob was from Coromandel Coast and may have been born there circa 1654. He was said to be 20 years old in 1674.2,1 
Names in the record, in publications, etc.15 February 1674, the name of Jacob was written in the record as Jacob van der Kust Malabar.3
Slave TransactionsOn 29 March 1672 Jacob van der Kust Coromandel was sold by Jurrian Hendrik Willinghs to Adrianus de Vooght, for Rds. 60. It was not uncommon that VOC officials returning to Patria from the east, brought slaves with them to trade, or travelled with their personal slaves as far as the Cape where the slaves were sold. Slaves taken to the Netherlands were automatically free on arrival.4,5
On 15 February 1674 Jacob van der Kust Coromandel was sold by Adriang de Vooght to Hinrich Crudop, for f 200. This is most likely Jacob, the slave said to be from the Coromandel coast, and purchased by De Vooght in 1672 under the name Jacob van der Kust Coromandel.3,2
