Notes par Johannes de Veer

<p>Abraham had a son, Johannes, born in Amsterdam in 1738. He died in Curacao in 1796. According to family tradition he lived in France briefly and was involved in several duels, with much bloodshed, after which it was decided that he should go to Curacao as an accountant for the West India Company. In 1763 he married the daughter of the colonial secretary of Curacao. His wife died and he married the daughter of the former governor of Sint Eustatius. In 1782 Johannes was appointed governor of Curacao.</p> <p>https://www.mooserungenealogy.com/articles/de-veer-five-centuries-of-history/<;/p> <p>His administration occurred in a turbulent era. The revolutionary spirit which stirred Europe into a turmoil also manifested itselfin the West Indies, originating in the French Isles. As early as 1789 the Curacao administration had to prohibit the wearing of freedom symbols and the singing of freedom songs. Strict controls were placed on the lower strata of the population in 1790 and tightened further the following year. The discontent spread to the colony’s slaves and those who sought to liberate them among the white population.</p> <p>De Veer defended the crown and the historical social structure and made bitter enemies among the revolutionaries. In 1795 several violent clashes arose between the garrison and rebellious citizens and among citizen groups themselves. On 17 August 1795, a slave revolt erupted<em> [ed. The Curacao Slave Revolt of 1795]</em>, causing considerable damage to fixed property, including the French Embassy, and de Veer sent the military to stop it. The result was more violence. De Veer assigned Rear Admiral Wiertsz to quell the rebellion. On 10 July 1796 an officer was murdered, and the rebellion was put down violently. <em>[ed. The slave revolt was put down and the leaders were executed, mercilessly and publicly, at least one by torture.]</em></p> <p>Concurrent with the end of the rebellion de Veer made public his intention to step down from his post. He explained that he had already applied to retire in 1794 due to illness and old age but had remained at his post at the request of the government. His worsening health made this impossible. He retired to his plantation where he lived for a further two years. <em>[ed. Calmeyer says Johannes died in 1796 but this two-year period of retirement indicates that the year of death might have been 1798.]</em></p> <p> </p>
