BirthOrigin*

David would most likely, as Buginese, been from South Sulawesi and was perhaps born there in 1667/68. He was said to be 26 or 27 in 1694.¹

Marriage De facto*

Before 26 October 1704 David van Bougis and Cornelia vande Caab were in a de facto relationship. This relationship is assumed - they appear to be free individuals when they baptise a child among the children of free persons in 1704.²

Family

Cornelia vande Caab b. c 1686

Child

Cicilia van der Caep² b. b 26 Oct 1704

Names in the record, in publications, etc.

26 October 1704, the name of David was written in the record as David van Macassar, I have assumed this to be the same individual named as David van Bougies in a slave transaction of 1694 - offered with a view toward further discovery in the record. I have found no other individual in the record who fits the profile.²

Slave Transactions

On 23 March 1694 David van Bougis was sold by Jacobus Oudenhoorn to Willem ten Damme, for Rds. 75.¹
