[England? : s.n., 1798?].--henk 11:01, 3 February 2013 (EST) [add comment] [edit] [4 February 2013]Brief van Sint-Eustatius, 1 februari 1781 Zeer waarde vriend... Vindplaats: HCA 32/277-2 In de tweede helft van de achttiende eeuw is suiker het voornaamste product dat vanaf Sint-Eustatius naar de Republiek wordt verscheept. Van de Midden-Amerikaanse ruwe suiker, afkomstig van de Franse eilanden in de Caraïben, is de 'sucre terre' van de hoogste kwaliteit. Handelshuis De Vijver & Graves verscheept in februari 1781 zeven vaten van deze 'Martinique terré suijker' met het schip de Batavier naar Rotterdam. Afnemer is de Amsterdammer Gedeon Jeremie Boissevain, de derde generatie van een bekend patriciërsgeslacht. Op dat moment ligt er geen schip op de rede gereed om naar Amsterdam te vertrekken. Wachten is riskant. Inmiddels is wel tot het eiland doorgedrongen dat er in het vaderland onrust is ontstaan over het groeiende Britse ongenoegen over de goede betrekkingen die de Republiek onderhoudt met de opstandige Noord-Amerikaanse koloniën. Op 1 februari zal een konvooi van 24 handelsschepen van Sint-Eustatius vertrekken naar de Republiek, begeleid door het linieschip Mars. Vanwege deze bescherming besluit Jan Boonen de lading suiker koste wat kost met dit konvooi mee te sturen. Hij treedt in onderhandeling met Siefke Siefkes de Graaff, die in het konvooi met zijn schip de Batavier naar Rotterdam koerst. In de brief dankt hij Boissevain voor het medeleven in het verlies van zijn moeder. Jan Boonen mist zijn moeder zeer. Bij zijn vertrek naar Sint-Eustatius 'beval deese braave vrouw mij met tranen in d'oogen: 'Mijn zoon houdt God voor de oogen, onderhoudt Zijnen geboden, en vliedt 't kwaade'. De heerlijkste lessen ontfing ik van haar, maar nu ben ik daar van ontstoken.' Dan volgen wat zakelijke mededelingen. Jan meldt dat de spijkers, de sloten en de waskaarsen goed verkopen, het linnen en de batisten daarentegen niet vanwege de 'buijtengewoone ellemaat'. De rokkestreep ligt ook nog onverkocht in het pakhuis, 'dog metertijd zal dit nog wel afgaan', hoopt hij. Servetten raakt hij aan de straatstenen niet kwijt, 'alsoo men hier geen servetten gebruijkt'. Jan Boonen slaat dan aan het roddelen en laat weten wie er zoal de laatste tijd op het eiland is gearriveerd. Hij vraagt Boissevain of hij iemand herkent: koopman Vos, de 'jonge springer' Zwarthoff, de bediende Hulk, of Cruwel 'die 't in Amsterdam zeer slegt aangelegt heeft, zwendelde, en maar 1% betaalde'? De brieven zullen de Republiek niet bereiken. Op 4 februari kapen de Engelsen de Batavier en verdwijnt de post in de archieven van de Engelse admiraliteit.

I have two Voss cousins, who were excited to hear of your interest, and wish to also extend their gratitude. Sorry your e-mail didn't work. I would love to read it. Could you please try again at compmary@gmail.com. (try an il, not an ll) The children were quite young when their mother died, so around 1804 Andrew married a second time, to Ruth or Rutalia Attwood, daughter of Sheffield Atwood of Newport, Rhode Island. Jan Boonen Graves wife was Sarah Attwood, whose parents I haven't yet proved, but it is entirely possible the two girls are related, and possibly even sisters. Yes, Jan Boonen Graves was important. I think Mr. Chion may have had Dutch ties as well. I've wondered if they were with the Dutch West Trading Company and all related by family. It would make sense, since they came to America after the American Revolution ended. Since Andrew Voss, Jr. was born in 1796, and his father and step-mother died when he was young, he was probably sent off to school. I do not know if Jan Boonen Graves took him to sea. I suspect he was raised in schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later he moved to Ohio, Indiana and died in Kansas.. If you search Findagrave.com for Andrew Voss born in 1796, you'll find him. The photo attached to the memorial is labeled Andrew Voss, but has a revenue stamp, so is probably a grandson of the merchant Andrew Vos. I am enclosing an image for you that you may find interesting, but please do not post it elsewhere online. I need to get permission from the archive for that. As you can see, he was an important art dealer, which is interesting, since a portrait of a young woman came through the family. On the back is hand-written "Mother of Andrew Vos". A family member had it appraised recently, and was told it was probably early 19th century and probably American, but might be earlier or elsewhere. There is no artist signature, and I don't think his specialty was Dutch art. As for the labeling, if correct, it could have been painted in Holland, or in America. Perhaps it is Andrew Vos' mother, or Andrew Voss, Jr.'s mother Mary Fitsimmons or step-mother, Ruthalia Attwood, or it might be mislabeled. Anyway, it is an intriguing piece of family antiquity which leads us to imagine more about the life of our ancestor. Hope to hear from you on my compmary@gmail.com account. I'll write again to tell you about the "Frisia" reference. And thank you so much again. I have access to Ancestry and a large early American newspaper collection. If there is anything I can look up in return for you, please let me know Mary--henk 03:16, 5 February 2013 (EST) [add comment] [edit] [5 February 2013]http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&sale=64&lot=45&lang=1
