About Ansela (Baauw) van Timor
NOTE: At one time, before DNA evidence contradicted the idea, Mansell Upham postulated that this freeborn immigrant from Timor, "Ansela van de Caap," was the true wife of Lorenz Campher. That is now disproven however.
Nonetheless, here are details taken from his notes, that pertain to the family:
"Amsoeboe, his wife Inabe and daughters Iba and Baauw ‐ a politically exiled, but un‐enslaved, family from Timor ‐ is sent (20 March 1676) by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) from Jakarta to Mauritius. There, the family is accused of conspiring (1677) with Company slaves and exiled convicts to overthrow the colony, massacre its officials, and escape. They are interrogated (1679) by Commander Isaac Johannes Lamotius and his council.
...Claiming no authority to legally try Amsoeboe and his family, Lamotious sends them to the Cape of Good Hope (1679). The family settle amongst the colony’s free‐population. Their household (1681) ‐ one of the small colony’s two operational brothels – is censured by Commander Simon van der Stel and his council authorizing the fiscal to arrest any offenders he finds there. The census (1682) enumerates 7 unnamed members for this family ‐ including presumably 3 illegitimate daughters for Iba. Amsoeboe is now recorded as Paay [%E2%80%98Father%E2%80%99] Timorees or Moor ‐ and his wife as Ansela van Timor. After the death of Inabe the Orphan Chamber inventorizes (1682) the impoverished family’s meagre worldly goods.
Amsoeboe and his family are all separately interrogated in a pre‐trial investigation by Commander Isaac Johannes Lamotius (1646‐1718)19 and his council.
Amsoeboe next appears (1692) as a miller with both daughters in the Cape District alongside free‐burgher Gerrit Theunisz: (from Utrecht) ‐ concubine to Iba ‐ which couple is again recorded (1695). [Taken from a paper by Private User]
