BirthOrigin*Catharina was said variously to be from Batavia, the Malabar Coast, Bengal and the Coromandel Coast. She may have been born in any of these locations, but more likely one of the latter three, and then brought to Batavia as a slave. She was said to be 36 years old at her baptism in 1673 and was therefor born circa 1637.1,2

Marriage*She married Cornelis Claasz on 15 March 1676 (Cape Town).3

Children
  • Adriaantje Gabrielsz+ b. b 13 Nov 1667; There is a clear contemporaneous record trail evidencing this relationship.

    1. Catharine van Malabar was a slave belonging to Cornelis van Qualbergen.
    2. She baptises Adriaantje thusly: dito (13 November 1667) een slaevinne kint van den E.H.Comman: Quaelbergen, wiert genaemt Adriaentje de moeder Catharyn tot getuyge stont in persoon van de Juffr Quaelbergen haer slaevinne
    3. When Adriaantje is married she is described as the step-daughter of Catharina van Malabar's husband||in this way: ao' 1683, eodem dito [den 4. Julij], Pieter Gerrits zoo, Jonghman, vryburgh en Aedriantie stiefdogter van Kees de boer35,36

  • Cornelia Cornelisse+5 b. 18 Nov 1674
  • Aaltie Cornelisz+37 b. 15 Mar 1676
  • Maria Cornelisz+37 b. 27 Oct 1678
  • Barent Cornelisz37 b. 29 Sep 1679
  • Hendrik Claasen37 b. 26 Dec 1681
  • Catharina Cornelisz+37 b. 5 Nov 1684, d. bt 1718 - 1719
DNA*Six direct matrilineal descendants of Catharina van Malabar have tested for mtDNA haplogroup U2c1 — four descendants of Adriaantje Gabrielsz, one of Maria Cornelisz, and the sixth of Catharina Cornelisz. U2c1 is Asian — with modern descendants found across central and south Asia. It is further broken down to U2c1a and U2c1b - with the former predominantly found in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and the latter predominantly found in Pakistan and India. This should lay to rest the notion that Adriaentje was the daughter of Isabella van Angola. 
(Slave) ShipVoyage On 23 December 1661 the Prinses Royael, Marseveen and De Vogel Phoenicx, ships of the return fleet, departed Batavia enroute to the Cape where they docked on 15 March 1662.

The Marseveen carried 15 slaves namely: Baddou van Bali, Jeronimus van Coromandel, Matthijs van Coromandel, Jantje van Bengale, Adriaen van Bengale, Gratia d' Costa, Paulo van Malabar, Catharina van Bengale, Jacob Cornelisse van Colombo, Jan Luy van Ceylon, Ventura van Ceylon, Pai Marquart van Ceylon, Florinda van Jafnapatnam and Helena van Malabar.6

Baptisms - WitnessCatherijn NN is named as a parent in the record of the baptism of Adriaentje NN on 13 November 1667 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.18,19
She and Andries Voormeester witnessed the baptism of Joannes van Hoorn between 21 August 1701 and 20 September 1701 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop.20
She and Andries Voormeester witnessed the baptism of Barent Pijl on 20 November 1701 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop.21
She and Andries Voormeester witnessed the baptism of Jan Robbertz on 3 August 1704 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop.22
She potentially witnessed the baptism of PN NN on 28 November 1706 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, Drakenstein, de Caep de Goede Hoop, this witness has not been positively identified.23
She and Andries Voormeester witnessed the baptism of Willem Willems on 16 January 1707 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop.24
Slave TransactionsCatharina van Malabar was sold by Jacob Does to Joachim Blank on 3 April 1662. Böeseken says was given into the custody of Gillis Nonnemans on the Princes Roijael who was to hand her over to her new owner on their arrival at the Cape. Hattingh's transcription is somewhat different: Nonnemans purchased Catrina from Does in Batavia, on condition he would sell her for the same amount to Blanck on his arrival at the Cape, The purchase price in both instances was Rds 75.25,26
Matthijs van Coromandel, Catharina van Malabar and Paulo van Malabar may have been the slaves sold by Maria de Bucquoij, to Commandeur Cornelis van Quaelbergen on 30 September 1666, for Rds 250.27,28
Catharina van Malabar was most likely sold by Commandeur Cornelis van Quaelbergen, to Jacob van Borghorst after 18 June 1668, when the latter became Governor at the Cape. This transaction is assumed.
On 9 April 1669 Catharina van Malabar was sold by Jacob van Borghorst to Rijckloff van Goens, who was enroute from Ceylon to Texel to, apparently expecting to return to the East in due when he would pick her up. However, the purchase price of Rds 80 or f 240 was paid by Luitenant Johannes Coon in an apparent dual transaction in which Coon purchased the pregnant Anna van Bengale from Van Goens, for Rds 70 or f 210 which was to be paid to Borghorst. However, if Anna died in childbirth the price was reduced by half to Rds 35.Van Goens returned to Ceylon in 1675 but Cattrijn remained at the Cape.29,30,31
Slave EmancipationsBetween 18 November 1674 and 15 March 1676 Catharina van Malabar was emancipated. She appears still to have been enslaved at the baptism of her daughter Cornelia in 1674, and was free at the time of her marriage. Slaves were not permitted to legally marry.
Slaves Owned by the CompanyOn 6 September 1665 Catharina van Malabar was enslaved and owned by the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) at the Cape.32
