Hermanus Bosman 1
visitor of the sick, in the service of the VOC 2
of De Nieuwe Plantagie, Drakenstein 3
born circa 1683, Amsterdam 4
died 26 July 1769, Drakenstein 5
will dated 5 November 1757
and filed 7 August 1769 6 | | Notes: | The inventory of his father-in-law, Abraham de Villiers, drawn up in 1721,
notes that he had already received 100 guilders as a marriage gift, and
was now receiving 500 guilders as the balanance due of Elizabeth's
portion of her father's estate.
In 1748 he petitioned the Council of Justice, stating that 'during a period
of fully 40 years, he had held the offices of Sick Visitor, "Voorlezer" and
"Voorzanger" in the Drakenstein Congregation, as far as he is aware,
to the satisfaction of his superiors:
he has, however, now attained to such old age that he can no longer
discharge his duties properly and therefore humbly prays the Governor
and the Council to relieve him of his duties and to permit him to remain
here "onder afgescherven gage" (unsalaried) and, should he obtain this
favour, he further begs that the Council may ... appoint his son Abraham
... [to] the post'.

Notes: In his will of 1785 he stated that he had never been married

In 1750, presumably having been appointed to his father's vacant
positions in the Drakenstein Congregation, he petitioned the Council
of policy, asking to be relieved of his post of 'Voorlezer' on account
of his continuous indisposition and to be granted burgher papers, but,
for the reasons above, to be excuses all burgher duties.
