(Owner) BaptismCandidateTitus van Macassar may be the individual who was baptized on 31 October 1706 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town). He was named Titus Christianus at this baptism, I think referring to the fact the he was now a Christian. Only one other individual in this group of baptisms is similarly recorded, that is Scipio Christianus who was baptised in 1707 as the slave of Samuel Elsevier. The possibility is that both of Samuel Elsevier's slaves were similarly recorded when baptised.6 
Names in the record, in publications, etc.Samuel Elsevier was also known as Samuel Elzevier.1
Baptisms - WitnessSamuel Elsevier and Sara Catrina Elsevier witnessed the baptism of Anna Maria Weinoch on 25 July 1700 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town).7
He and Johanna Constantia Elsevier witnessed the baptism of Samuel Weinoch on 10 June 1703 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town).8
Scipio Christianus was baptized on 25 September 1707 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town). He was named Scipio Christianus at this baptism, I think referring to the fact the he was now a Christian. Only one other individual in this group of baptisms is similarly recorded, that is Titus Christianus who was baptised in 1706 as a privately owned slave, and whom I have assumed to be Titus van Macassar, slave of Samuel Elsevier. The possibility is that both of Samuel Elsevier's slaves were similarly recorded when baptised.9
