BirthOrigin*Cecilia was from Timor and was perhaps born there before 1673. I have assumed her to be at least 22 years old.1 
Duplicate?*It is possible that Cicilia van Timor and Cecilia van Timor are the same individual.2 
Slave EmancipationsOn 17 March 1695 Cecilia van Timor purchased her freedom from Hendrik Hartsz, by paying in vrijcoopspenninge the equivalent of Rds. 80. Harts was returning to Holland.1
