• He promised never to abandon or reject these children.
• In his earlier will, he had named these three children as his only heirs if no other direct heirs existed.
• He believed he had done everything possible for these children as their father.

• On 5 April 1822, a child was born in Abanado to a free woman named Petronella Winter.
• On 10 November 1822, this child was officially named Jan Roeland by a man and his wife (their names are not fully provided) in Manado, as shown in a baptism record.
• Later, two more children were born to another free woman, Abanina Catharina Thomas, on:
  • 5 March 1833 (named Daniel Roeland)
  • 10 July 1835 (named Philippus Gerrit)
• Official documents confirm that the mothers of these three children died in Manado in 1822 and 1844, leaving the children without parents.
• The man (likely the same one who named Jan Roeland) and his wife, Geertruida Gechtig, raised all three children (Jan Roeland, Daniel Roeland, and Philippus Gerrit) from birth.
• After his wife’s death, the man continued to care for and raise the children.
• Legal statements were made before notary Hendrik Daniel Hollaan Van den Goes and witnesses on:

• The name changes followed the rules set by:
  • Article 20 of the Civil Registry Regulations (1528, Number 50).
  • A government decision from November 2, 1831 (Numbers 125, 33).
  • Official announcements from April 13, 1845 (Number 8, Announcement 125.111) and May 16, 1846 (Number 31, Announcement 127.15).

  • They had no children, leaving him as the sole survivor of their marriage.

• On 15 September 1647, H. P. Balavia wrote a letter to inform Uwe Excellentie (His Excellency, likely a high-ranking official) about a decision made by the government (N. 3).
• A man named Thomas Roeland (also called Thomas Landouw) had requested that his three adopted children—Jan Roeland, Daniel Roeland Thomassen, and Philippus Gerrit Thomassen—be allowed to use the last name Landouw instead of Roeland.
• The request was approved, so the children could now legally change their names to:
  • Jan Roeland Landouw
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landouw
  • Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Landouw
• The letter mentions that this change follows the rules set in:
  • The Civil Registry Law (1828, no. 30).
  • A decision from 2 November 1831 (no. 33, State Gazette no. 61).
  • Later decisions from 13 May 1843 (no. 14) and 16 May 1846 (no. 37).
• The letter was sent to Sijne Excellentie den Minister van Koloniën (His Excellency the Minister of Colonies) on 2 February 1848.

On 26 February 1848, a request was approved for a retired first lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies army, Thomas Landour (also known as Tho. Mas Roeland Landour), living in Menado (now Manado, Indonesia). He asked for his three adopted children to legally change their last names to include Landour:

• Jan Roeland, born in Menado on 5 April 1522 → renamed Jan Roeland Landour.
• Daniel Roeland Thomassen, born in Menado on 5 March 1633 → renamed Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landour.
• Philippus Gerrit Thomassen, born in Menado on 10 July 1635 → renamed Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Landour.

The change followed the rules for name changes in the Dutch Civil Code. The approval was recorded in a report by the Minister of Justice of Hoboken on 22 December (year not specified) and confirmed by the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. The King of the Netherlands authorized the decision on 6 February 1848, with the State Council Director finalizing the process.

• The government (Ministerie van Koloniën) announced an official notice on 7 March 1345 (likely a typo, intended as 1845), referencing earlier documents from 26 February and 22 February of the same year.
• The notice concerned a decision about Mr. Timmermeens, who was temporarily appointed as a civil registry officer in Cope (likely Copey or another location in the Dutch East Indies).
• The Minister van Koloniën instructed that this announcement should be published three times in the Nederlandsche Staats-Courant (a Dutch government gazette), with one-week intervals between each publication.
• The decision was based on local regulations in the Dutch East Indies regarding the maintenance of civil registry records.
• The notice was linked to earlier references, including records from 1441 (likely a misprint) and archival notes under Bur. J numbers 1102, 1049, and 1054.

This text discusses a man named Mr. Tummesma, who has had a long-standing opponent (enemy) but is now placed in a role that is completely unfamiliar to his entire career path.

• The writer leaves it to the recipient (addressed as "U. L." or "Your Lordship") to decide whether to keep Mr. Tummesma in this position or relocate him somewhere else where he might be more useful.
• The writer suggests that Mr. Tummesma could potentially be placed in the General Chamber of Accounts (Algemeene Rekenkamer).
• However, the writer notes that the Guardianship Council (opieckins) should not be overlooked, as it is more loyal to the principles outlined in Article 12 of the Royal Decree dated 6 December 1842, no. 59.
• This article concerns the oversight of military financial obligations, which the Guardianship Council is better suited to handle, especially in relation to military administration.
• The letter also references an attached document (Ced.le) related to a local official (plaatsl doeknegd) dated 17 October, and a church council (kerhoal) document numbered 48.

On 15 September 1847, a request was submitted to the Dutch colonial government in Batavia (now Jakarta) by Thomas Roeland Landouw, a retired First Lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies Army living in Manado.

• Thomas Roeland Landouw asked for permission for his three adopted children to legally change their last names to Landouw and use a combined version of their original and new names.

• The request was reviewed by the High Court of the Dutch East Indies on 17 August 1847 and by the Council of the Dutch East Indies on 25 August 1847.
• The government approved the name changes, allowing the children to officially use their new combined surnames.

On 15 September 1617, a request was reviewed from Thomas Hoeland Landouw (also known as Thomas Landouw), a retired First Lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies army, living in Manado. He asked for permission for his three adopted children to use the surname Landouw and adjust their names accordingly.

• The children were:
  • Jan Roeland, son of the late free woman Velronella Winter, born in Manado on 5 April 1622.
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen, son of the late free woman Manina Calharina Thomassen, born in Manado on 5 March 1533.

  • The good supplies received in Battavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) from various places and those still expected.
  • The need to send more supplies to Banda, including 243 loads of good rice.
  • A total financial claim of ƒ 38,192 and 9 stuivers (Dutch currency) for Banda, which was deemed justified and ordered to be paid, except for 5,000 karolusguilders (a type of coin) that were lacking in Dutch currency in Battavia.
• Instructions were given to Evert van Hoorn to:
  • Find out if the citizens of Banda could help with the missing funds, either through loans or by drawing bills of exchange on Battavia, without burdening the VOC.
  • Ensure that no VOC employees accepted money through bills of exchange or other means without permission, as this was considered abuse.
• Criticism was expressed about past actions where Evert van Hoorn allowed church and government employees of the VOC in Banda to:
  • Use bills of exchange to transfer funds at the VOC's expense.
  • Procure goods from the Coromandel Coast (India) and Curat (possibly Kuratti, India) for personal profit.
  • Issue bills of exchange without ensuring the VOC received payment first.
  • Take over profitable nutmeg and fruit tree plantations for personal gain, depriving the local citizens.
• These actions were seen as improper and against the VOC's rules, harming the company's interests.

The King of Amarasje, named Don Augustijn, had sent them back upon request, along with a letter replying to theirs. In it, he asked that the slaves who were staying with the newly arrived people and their allies from Coupang (which he estimated at 35 men, women, and children) be allowed to return. His messenger also said that while some free people had moved to Coupang of their own free will, he requested that these people should not come back to his territory and rob his inhabitants of cattle and crops, as he claimed they did. If they wanted to take their own possessions, they could do so. The messenger also said their King requested that these allies should not travel everywhere trying to lure away his subjects and persuade them to desert. They answered that they were not aware of this, and that the Company did not interfere in such matters and had no interest in whether the Timor people came or stayed, nor did they seek to get involved in their affairs, since their position with the Portuguese crown and therefore with its subjects was peaceful. However, regarding the slaves who might be among the Company's allies, they would do their best to capture them and send them to the King. Furthermore, they asked why the King was getting involved with the people from Rottij, who were rebellious subjects of the Company, and was helping and supporting them, which did not agree with the good alliance maintained between them and the Portuguese. They answered that their King did not interfere in the affairs of the Rottij people, and that there were only 10 people from Amanasje, 40 or 50 people from Ambesj, and some Christian people from Rottij living on that island near Liffouw. After giving them drinks, they sent them to the house of the Coupang chief Amasoesang to be lodged and entertained there until their departure.
• After the people from Amarasje left, the regent from Amabij, Amacobo, reported that a brother of Amakieseme from Amabij with some people was about to arrive.
• Towards evening they sent the sloop Doradus to

People dressed as Winderbroeders were imprisoned in Madrid and accused of attempting to harm the lives of the King of Spain, the princes, and the Royal House.

T. Sasburch wrote from Brussels on 1 November 1659 that trade with the city of Marseille had not yet fully recovered due to disputes with the English. A galley from the Grand Duke of Tuscany arrived at Toulon and unloaded a large quantity of silk. The parliament of Aix ordered the seizure of all the unloaded silk at Toulon, based on an order from King Henry the Fourth that banned unloading silk in Provence except in Marseille, with confiscation as punishment.

The Superintendent Foncquet had arrived at Bordeaux and was ready to travel to Bayonne to speak with the Cardinal. However, the Cardinal sent him orders to first go through Toulouse to see the King, which he did, and then went on to Bayonne. Some people said the reason for the Superintendent's journey was to help arrange winter quarters for the armies for the remaining months of the current year and the beginning of 1660, because conferences on the frontiers and disputes about allied matters were taking much longer than expected.

Ambassador Boreel received letters on 16 November 1659 stating that letters from St. Jean de Luz written on the 13th reported that the Cardinal was still unwell with a fever and that no other conferences had been held since the 16th conference. However, letters from the 16th reported that the Cardinal had recovered and that the 19th conference was being taken up.

The Duke of Lorraine was released in complete freedom in Madrid to travel to the frontiers. The Superintendent arrived at St. Jean de Luz, and after being presented by the Cardinal to Don Louis de Haro, the 19th conference was scheduled for 16 October to review the drafted articles of the peace treaty. These articles were changed here and there by the council of Grandes, who kept finding things to change in various matters and articles, which wasted much time and repeatedly delayed the final conclusion of the treaty.

Meanwhile, many secret conferences were being held with the ambassadors of the Prince-Electors of Mainz and Cologne, who worked hard to get more assistance from France to maintain the affairs of the League in Germany and to benefit the King of Sweden.

Some people confirmed that the Cardinal had obtained an agreement that Spain would withdraw its garrisons from the city of Jülich and other places occupied in that duchy. This was in favor of the Duke of Neuburg, who would occupy everything with his troops for greater security against his neighbors who might want to attempt something against him.

De Lionne was still at St. Jean de Luz working with Secretary Colonna to put everything in writing. Letters from Toulouse from the 18th reported that the court arrived there on 14 October and was received with great splendor and magnificence. Lodging for the Cardinal was also being prepared at Toulouse.

The Prince of Conti had not yet been able to respond regarding his proposed resignation from the governorship of Guyenne in favor of the Duke of Espernon, and that his Highness would instead receive the governorship of Auvergne.

The Ambassador of Portugal arrived at Bayonne on the 17th and went on to the Cardinal to continue requesting that

Dain Maliwonga and Care Taka were sent by Dain Maliwonga's mother to Biema approximately a month after 11 October 1693 to claim the inheritance portion from a deceased person named Ieneloma from Radja Biema. The inheritance had been assigned to their mother by a judge but had not yet been handed over by Radja Biema. If the goods were not given, they were instructed to have all goods collected again and properly divided by the judge.

They were also ordered to send all their mother's people and slaves from the village of Biema, as well as the princes' children, because the queen had decided to travel to Macassar. Regarding two villages in Mangeraij that were being held by Radja Biema, the mother would not speak of these but would make a request to the authorities in Macassar, Goa, and Bone, and to the president and council at Oedjang Pandang to settle this matter.

When Dain Maliwonga and Care Tako arrived in Biema, Radja Biema ordered that the reason for their arrival be made known to Ienaloma Boja, Ienalama Bole, and Zijnamoni. They answered they had come to claim their mother's portion from Ieneloma's inheritance as assigned by the judge. Radja Biema requested 3 days' delay because the nobles needed to gather first.

After the delay, Radja Biema called them and asked why Dain Maliwonga had been sent personally. She replied that she came only to collect her mother's inheritance portion assigned by the judge, and if it was not given, all goods would be gathered again for proper division by the judge. Radja Biema was greatly troubled by this but eventually had to agree to their request, although it was against his will.

The inheritance portion assigned by the judge consisted of:

• 29 slaves
• 57 buffalo
• 44 horses
• 30 goats
• 1 firearm

Ienelij Sapij reported to Radja Biema that the goods were scattered everywhere and presently only 10 slaves were available, and they did not know where the rest was located. Radja Biema responded that what could not be found should be overlooked and he should be excused for this. When the servant of Ienelij Sapij objected because the judge had ruled otherwise, Radja Biema reportedly said that if his words did not count, then they should release him from the kingdom and from government.

Radja Biema then sent through a Tokiboe a female slave named Sinranoe to Dain Maliwonga, requesting that she persuade their mother to let him keep this slave. Dain Maliwonga replied she dared not present this request to her mother, but if he really wanted the slave, he should write a letter to his aunt and she would deliver it.

Meanwhile, Maliwonga summoned the princes' children, the slaves, and other people belonging to her mother. When Radja Biema heard this, he immediately requested through a messenger that the harbor master and a Catibo, both being in state and royal service, should continue their service, as well as a Samboelo. Regarding the latter, Radja Biema stated that not he personally but the entire council of the realm had punished this person for his offenses. Maliwonga responded by asking why he allowed her slaves to be punished.
