Slave Births

Circa 1683, Johanna Matthijs was born in bondage and was owned by the Company Slave Lodge, the date is estimated. She baptises a son Gabriel in 1698, apparently her first child of three. She must have been baptised, because she witnesses a baptism in 1710.¹

On 13 July 1698 Johanna Matthijs and Gabriel van de Caep were enslaved and owned by the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) at the Cape.¹
