BirthOrigin*

Andries was from the and was perhaps born there circa 1673. He was said to be 24 years old in 1697 and 23 years old in 1699.²

Names in the record, in publications, etc.

21 September 1699, the name of Andries was written in the record as Andries van de Kust Coromandel.³

Slave Transactions

On 27 June 1697 Andries Origin Unknown and Adam van Bengale were sold by Marinus Verhulst to Jan Dircks de Beer, for Rds. 50 and Rds. 30, respectively.⁴
On 21 September 1699 Andries Origin Unknown was sold by Jan Dircks de Beer to Marthinus Poussioen, for Rds. 100. I have assumed him to be the same individual without provenance purchased by De Beer in 1697 and now said to be from the Coromandel Coast.³
