BirthOrigin*

Johannes was from Batavia and was perhaps born there circa 1720. The date is estimated. Bear in mind that (former) slaves from Batavia could actually have originated anywhere in the regions controlled by the VOC.¹

Marriage*

He married Rosetta van Bengale on 15 October 1758 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town).^1,2

Duplicate?*

It is possible that Johannes Jansz: van Batavia and Johannes Jansz van Ceijlon are the same individual.
