BirthOrigin*

Lea was said to be from Timor and was perhaps born there circa 1713. The date is estimated but was emancipated as an adult in 1735, and would therefor have been at least 22 years old.¹

Slave Emancipations

In 1735 Rosetta van Bengale and Lea van Timor were emancipated by Johannes Jansz van Ceijlon, they were adults, so at least 22 years old.²
