Slave Transactions

On 17 January 1696 Titus van Tranquebaer was sold by Dirck Roeloff to Jacob Crebs, for Rds. 95.⁶
On 5 January 1697 Anthonij van Trancquebare was sold by Jan Pietersz: van Vleugel to Jacob Krebs, for Rds. 91. Böeseken records the surname of the purchaser as Calis, Shell as Krilis and I have assumed him to be Jacob Krebs. Corrections welcome.^7,8

On 7 May 1699 Philip van Batavia was sold by Adrian van Reede to Jacob Krebs, for Rds. 130. Given the high price paid, it is worth considering that Philip was a skilled shoe-maker.¹⁰
On 21 May 1699 Dorothea van Bengale was sold on behalf of Margareta Swanenburg by Jan Dircks de Beer to Jacob Krebs, for Rds. 45.¹¹
On 15 July 1699 Dorothea van Bengale was sold by Jacob Krebs to Jan Willemse Vermeulen, for rds. 40.¹²
