BirthOrigin*

Coridon was from Madagscar and was perhaps born there circa 1681. He was said to be 18 years old in 1699.¹

Names in the record, in publications, etc.

9 June 1699, the name of Coridon was written in the record as Coridon van Madagascar, his name was changed at the request of his new owner, perhaps because she already owned a slave named Coridon [van Trancquebar].²

Slave Transactions

On 9 June 1699 Coridon van Madagascar was sold by Abraham van Bogaard to Maria Everts, the amount paid was not recorded.³
