BirthOrigin*Candas was perhaps from Patan recorded variously as Pattana and Patana. She was perhaps born there in 1682/83. She was said to be 14 or 15 years old 1697. Patan is in Maharashtra, and she is later described as from Surat, also in Maharashtra. Although the two are quite distant, it is possible that slaves from across that region were sent to Surat for onward sale/shipment.1 
Marriage De facto* After 29 October 1697 Candas van Pattana and Jacobus Victor were in a de facto relationship. In the resolution granting the emancipation request of their son, it is clearly stated that Jacobus was his father.2
