Birth*Marija van de Caep was born before 12 July 1699 in de Caep de Goede Hoop.1
 
BaptismMarija van de Caep was baptized on 12 July 1699 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, Stellenbosch, de Caep de Goede Hoop. The baptism was witnessed by Geertruy van der Bijl and Pieter van der Bijl.2
Duplicate?*It is possible that Marija van de Caep and Maria Magdalena Langeberg are the same individual. For the following reasons, I believe it is a strong possibility that these were the same individual.

In 1831 Maria Magdalena said she did not know her exact age, but believed herself to be 29 or 30 years old, and that she had been baptised by Rev. Kalde. Ds Petrus Kalden was the pastor at the Cape from 1695-1700, and ministered the sacraments in Stellenbosch four times per year. It is therefor entirely possible she was the child baptised in July 1699.

She also described herself as inboorling van Van den Brink, that is, born enslaved to Van den Brink.

Although Maria van de Caep's baptism was witnessed by Pieter van der Bijl and his daughterGeertruij, her brother Willem's baptism was witnessed by Barend van den Brink. This indicates there was a connection between him and Marija van de Caep's family.3
