BirthOrigin*

Abraham was from Madagascar and perhaps born there circa 1667.¹

Slave Transactions

On 5 May 1686 Abraham van Madagascar and Sara van Madagascar were sold by William Deeron to Jan Dircksen de Beer, for Rds. 105.²
On 6 January 1689 Abraham van Madagascar was sold by Jan Dircksen de Beer to Willem ten Damme, for Rds. 80. I have assumed this to be the same individual purchased by De Beer in 1686.³
