BirthOrigin*Maria was from Macassar and was perhaps born there circa 1680. Her age is estimated.1 
BaptismMaria van Macassar was baptized on 20 June 1706 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town). I have assumed this to be the correct baptism for Maria van Macassar - she subsequently appears as a baptism witness to a slave child, also owned by WA vd Stel, and must therefor have been baptised herself.2 
Baptisms - WitnessMaria van Macassar witnessed the baptism of Catharina van de Caep on 6 February 1707 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.3
Slave TransactionsOn 12 March 1699 Maria van Macassar was sold on behalf of Maria Paviliaens by Johannes Kiesinge to Willem Adriaan van der Stel, for Rds. 80.4
