Ibrahim DE HAAN (ADEHAN) was born 1693 the son of an exile Rajah van Tamborah (look at his entry) also known as Abulbasi. The family was Muslim but later the children became Christians. He was baptised as a Christian on 2 November 1721. The record in the Cape Doopregister reads, "Bejaarde vrygebore Mohammedan wat op 2 Nov 1721 belydenis van die Christelike geloof afgelê het" (AE Read, p 5). He got married on 20 September 1722 Helena VALENTYN, (she was the daughter of Hercules Valentyn from the Indian West coast and Cecilia van Bengale, they got married 1716).
