Birth*Thomas Charlborn was born circa 1650.1
 
Occupation* On 20 April 1681 Thomas Charlborn was bookkeeper on the Eijlant Mauritius.2 
Slave TransactionsOn 20 April 1681 Boulatijn van Balij was sold by Thomas Charlborn to Jacob van de Voorde, for Rds 40. Hattingh (Foute…) says this transaction involved two slaves and that the total purchase price for the two was Rds. 80. However, he may have overlooked the next transaction for Anthonij van der Kust Coromandel who was also sold by Charlborn, but on behalf of a different owner and to a different purchaser. In that instance, Böeseken records the date as 21 April, but Shell [Changing Hands…] records it as 20 April. It is difficult to be certain which of the three historians was correct without personally reviewing the T&S, but hopefully that will come in time.2,3,4
Anthonij van der Kust Coromandel was sold by Thomas Charlborn on behalf of De Jager van Batavia to Christina van der Bergh between 20 April 1681 and 21 April 1681, for Rds 40.5

Böeseken se Addendum van Kaapse slawe-verkoopstransaksies: Foute en regstellings", Kronos (Foute en regstellings) 9 (1984): Terwyl Böeseken in die addendum met die transaksie van 20.4.1681 voorgee dat die bepaalde koopsom net 40 Rds. was, is nagelaat om te meld dat met dieselfde transaksie ook ‘n tweede slaaf vir 40 Rds. verkoop is.
