BirthOrigin*

Unnamed was probably from Madagascar and perhaps born there circa 1670. I have assumed all the slaves sold by William Deeron in January 1684 were from Madagascar and similarly arbitrarily estimated their dates of birth - hoping for further discovery in the record.¹

Slave Transactions

Unnamed Male Slave van Madagascar, Unnamed Female Slave van Madagascar and Unnamed Female Slave van Madagascar were sold by William Deeron, to Cornelis Botma on 21 January 1684, for Rds. 182.²
