BirthOrigin*

Maria was from Macassar and was perhaps born there circa 1680. Her age is estimated.¹

Baptism

Maria van Macassar was baptized on 20 June 1706 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town). I have assumed this to be the correct baptism for Maria van Macassar - she subsequently appears as a baptism witness to a slave child, also owned by WA vd Stel, and must therefor have been baptised herself.²

Baptisms - Witness

Maria van Macassar witnessed the baptism of Catharina van de Caep on 6 February 1707 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.³

Slave Transactions

On 12 March 1699 Maria van Macassar was sold on behalf of Maria Paviliaens by Johannes Kiesinge to Willem Adriaan van der Stel, for Rds. 80.⁴
