Sara van de Caep van Eva van de Caep1

F, #17582, b. before 15 April 1696
Mother*Eva van de Caep b. c 1675; I have assumed the mother is the same woman who gave birth to twins in 1689 based on the fact that in 1693 there were two adult company slave women named Eva, and one had been placed in the service of an official - the other was a laborer. Both were heelslag. Corrections gratefully received.1
