Birth*Paul van Malabar was born circa 1653.2
 
Names in the record, in publications, etc.Between 12 August 1678 and 11 July 1683, the name of Paul was written in the record as Paul.2
Slave TransactionsOn 12 August 1678 Paul van Malabar was sold by Aletta van Hinloopen to Anthonij van Bengale, for Rds. 100. Ten days later, on 24 August, Antoni signed an acknowledgment of debt in the amount of f 300 relating to the purchase of Paul, i.e. 200% higher than originally recorded. He promised to pay as much as he could afford prior to the departure of Aletta van Hinloopen to Batavia, and send the balance with the outward bound fleet the following year.3,4
Paul van Malabar was sold from the estate of Anthonij Jansz van Bengale, to Olof Bergh on 11 July 1683, for Rds. 112. He was sold by the Orphan Masters.5
On 28 October 1685 Paul van Malabar was sold by Olof Bergh to Jeronimus Cruse, for Rds. 112. I have assumed this to be the same slave sold as Paul without provenance on two previous occasions. Corrections welcome.1
