Cornelia van de Caep

F, #8127, b. 27 March 1672
Mother-DisprovedDorothe van Angola b. c 1655; this relationship has been disproved by the mtDNA result of a direct matrilineal descendant, Adriaan Diederichs Muller, whose mtDNA is B4c1b2a2. This haplogroup, is according to Wikipedia and other sources, mainly found in Indonesia (specifically Sumatra), the Phillippines, and also in Taiwan and China, where it first developed. Some B4 lines are also found on Madagascar, but seemingly not this one. While no other women identified thus far meet the chronological and other criteria to qualify as Cornelia's mother, it is now quite evident that Dorothe was not Cornelia's mother. My thanks to Anneke Muller for sharing this mtDNA information.1

Slave Birth - Company OwnedCornelia van de Caep was born in bondage before 27 March 1672 and was owned by the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) de Caep de Goede Hoop Cornelia van de Caep.2
BaptismCandidate*Cornelia van de Caep may be the individual who was baptized on 27 March 1672 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop. This may or may not be Cornelia's baptism. We now know that Dorothea van Angola was not her mother who would have been from the east, but her mother may have been another woman named Dorothea (var.)

At the baptism of this child, the father was described as de vader een onbekent christen.3
