BirthOrigin*

Isak was from Malabar Coast and perhaps born there circa 1660. I have estimated his age based on the amount paid when he was sold as a slave in 1676.¹

Slave Transactions

On 10 March 1676 Isak Caste van Malabar was sold by Martinus van Banchem to Adriaan Willemsz van Brakel, for Rds 40.^2,3
