BirthOrigin*

Cecilia was from Timor and was perhaps born there before 1673. I have assumed her to be at least 22 years old.¹

Duplicate?*

It is possible that Cicilia van Timor and Cecilia van Timor are the same individual.²

Slave Emancipations

On 17 March 1695 Cecilia van Timor purchased her freedom from Hendrik Hartsz, by paying in vrijcoopspenninge the equivalent of Rds. 80. Harts was returning to Holland.¹
