BirthOrigin*

Cathie was from Macassar and perhaps born there circa 1661. I have estimated her age based on the practice that baptised slave women had to be set free at age 22.¹

Slave Emancipations

On 2 July 1683 Cathie van Macassar was emancipated by Ferdinandus Gurijnier de Caep de Goede Hoop.²
