About Diana van Madagascar, SM/PROG
The First Fifty Years Project See this page for source references etc.
Born in 1664/65 at Madagascar. Baptism	Diana van Madagascar was baptized on 17 June 1703 at Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town)
Concubine	She may have been the concubine of Detlef Bibault from circa 1686 at de Caep de Goede Hoop. Diana van Madagascar is a strong candidate as mother to Susanna Biebou, baptised (23 February 1687). Susanna's recorded paternity is extraordinary compared to other contemporary baptisms for slave children - including those owned by Cornelis Linnes . A further clue to a possible continuous relationship between Biebow and Diana, would be his subsequent purchase of a slave woman also named Diana van Madagascar. Bibouw married (1688) so that his potential relationship with Diana appears to have remained de facto
Diana van Madagascar was sold by William Deeron, to Johann Heinrich Vlok on 5 May 1686 de Caep de Goede Hoop, for 48 Rixdollars.
Diana van Madagascar may have been the slave of Conelis Pietersz Linnes on 23 February 1687 de Caep de Goede Hoop mentioned in the baptism of Susanna, daughter of Diedelof Biebou en Diana, slavin.

b1 Susanna gedoop 23 Feb 1687, X 13 Sep 1711 met die stamvader Odendaal."
Quote from http://www.eloff-family.co.za/All%20Families%20and%20Individuals/pafn159.htm
She was the slave of Cornelis Linnes, a senior officer of the DEIC and confidant of the governer Simon van der Stel. On 12 May1691 Joris van Straaten sold Diana van Madagascar to Christiaan Freser for 65 rix-dollars. On 28 Dec 1693 she was sold to Detlef Biebow for 90 rix-dollars and thus gained her freedom before he died Susanna ODENDAAL, ~ 9-1-1717, d.v. Willem Odendaal en Susanna Biebouw, xx 14-11-1762 Margaretha RADYN, ~ 26-10-1727, d.v. Jurgen Radyn en Maria Malherbe. Susanna Biebouw was die buite-egtelike kind van Detlef Biebouw van Mecklenburg, Duitsland en die slavin Diana van Bengale, slavin van Cornelis Linnes.Alle tipe slawe was skaars aan die Kaap en die seekapteins en amptenare op verbygaande skepe het 'n goeie mark vir hulle slawe gevind aan die Kaap as hulle na Nederland onderweg was, want in Nederland was slawe nie toegelaat nie. So het Admiraal Jacob Cauw, wat van Batavia na Nederland oppad was, sy vrou se slavin, Diana van Bengale - ook bekend as Diana van die Kus, aan die boekhouer Augustijn Boccaert op 15-5-1666 vir 70 Riksdaalders verkoop op voorwaarde dat as Admiraal Cauw of sy vrou na die Ooste sou terugkeer, kon hulle weer Diana terugkoop. Diana was later die slavin van Cornelis Linnes,sy is op 23-2-1687 gedoop en in 1695 oorlede. ------------------- Boodskap van Elmien Wood: Weet iemand miskien wie is Eben de Klerk?Hy het in Familia 'n artikel gepubliseer waarin hy die volgende verwysings gee:
Kaapse Afgiefbewaarplek; De Villiers en Pama; Geslagsregisters van Kaapse families; Heese en Lombard; S.A. Geslagregisters; A.S. Boëseken; Slaves and Free Blacks at the Cape: Giliomee en Elphinck; 'n Samelewing in Wording;J.L.M. Franken; Argiefjaarboek, 1978;Leo Fouche; Adam Tas se Dagboek, Van Riebeeck-Vereniging, 1970; Kronos Vol. 1, 1979. U.W.K.Ek het al hierdie bronne geraadpleeg en die inligting wat De Klerk in sy artikel gee, is nie daarin nie. (Behalwe natuurlik die Kaapse Argiefbewaarplek, want dit is die plek waar die bron gehou word, nie die bron nie.)
De Klerk beweer die volgende:Diana van Madagaskar word op 12 Mei 1691 deur Joris van Straten aan Christiaan Freser verkoop vir 65 Riksdaalders en twee jaar later, 28 Desember 1693, verkoop Freser haar weer vir 90 Riksdaalders aan Dietlof Biebou.Ek soek na die bron van hierdie transaksies. Ken iemand miskien vir Eben de Klerk sodat 'n mens hom kan vra waar hy die inligting kry.
Ek het op TANAP gesoek, maar kry ook nie daar iets nie.
