Before 18 March 1691, Catharina Jacobs was born in bondage and was owned by Tobias Vlasvath de Caep de Goede Hoop.6
Slave TransactionsOn 23 November 1677 David van Tuticorin was sold by Hester Weijers to Tobias Vlasvath, for Rds. 50.7,8
On 23 December 1677 Cathrijn van Bengale was sold by Hester Weijers to Tobias Vlasvath, for Rds. 80.9,10

On 19 July 1678 Fransois van Malabar, Jobicque van Bengale and Pasquael van der Caep were sold by Aletta van Hinloopen, to Tobias Vlasvat, for Rds. 170. Pasquaal — the child of Jobicque and Francoise — was just one year old and Böeseken and Hattingh disagree on the interpretation of this transaction. Böeseken says a condition of the sale was that Pasquael was not to be sold and that he was to be freed at age 20; while Hattingh says he could be sold until age 20 and was thereafter to be freed. This latter interpretation appears to be more accurate, because Vlasvat sold Pacquael the following year imposing a similar condition to the sale.13,14
