Catharina Elisabeth Van Cooten

Birth: aft 1782, Demerara, West Indies

Marr: abt 24 Dec 1803, Demerara, West Indies (Essequebo and Demerary Gazette, Demerara, 24 Dec 1803, VAN1803001.)

By inference, Catharina is most likely to be the daughter of Hendrik senior, rather than his son. If Hendrik was born 1749, married at age 20 (1769), had son Hendrik immediately (1769), who married at age 20 (1789), and had child Catharina immediately (1789), she would be aged 14 in 1803, which is at the margins of possibility.
