At that time Friesland was an independent state that was coveted by the Hollanders. There were frequent wars, sieges and uprisings until 1422 when a truce was declared. In 1522 Friesland and Holland came under Hapsburg rule and the wars ended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Born on December 26th, 1741, in Kuinre, Netherlands to a family that bought timber from across Europe he joined the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a sailor in 1759.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He made a total of 14 round trips back and forth between Netherlands and Batavia (Jakarta) and Ceylon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In spite of company rules against private trading, many who worked for VOC did. Olke managed to amass a considerable fortune.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 1775 he collected the equivalent of more than $1M Australian (2025) from the VOC<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 1764, Olke married in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, Geesje STAM. Whilst Olke sailed back and forth for the VOC, Geesje remained home. As well as having 7 children to him, she also managed their business affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Thus it was a surprise to me when I found that on 24th April, 1794, an advertisement appeared in the Amsterdam Courant advising that if anyone accepts any contracts, bills of sale or goods from his wife Geesje Stam without his, Olke Andringa\u2019s approval, the sale or purchase will be void<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I felt very sorry for Geesje who had not only worked hard managing the business but had also managed her seven pregnancies, given birth and buried some of her babies, on her own. What fortitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Having sailed from Enkhuizen on 24th August 1779 as Skipper of the Hoogkaspel he arrived in Jakarta in May 1780.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Olke did not return to the Netherlands. He never saw his wife again. Instead he settled in Colombo, Ceylon with a second family.\u00a0<\/strong>This was not unusual for the times when men often did not return home for two years or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Olke lived with a Dutch born widow, Magdalena Elizabeth Sieveritz (nee Strobach). Magdalena was wealthy in her own right. Olke and Magdalena did have slaves. I have a Court report and Inquest (1800) into the death of one named Valentine who went missing and died at the hands of ruffians in 1797.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 1801 Olke had a child with Magdalena. The child was more than likely the second that she had with Olke. The first was a daughter named Catharina Elizabeth born 24th May, 1789. Baptism records show that although she bore the surname Sieveritsz, baptism records of 31st May 1789 show her named as the child of Olke and Magdalena.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The second child born in 1801, Agneta Margaretha, was definitely the child of Olke and Magdalena. She became my 4th great grandmother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>When Olke\u2019s wife Geesje Stam died in 1805, Olke married Magdalena. He also formally \u2018adopted\u2019 both girls changing their name to Andringa.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In 1805 Olke saw his older daughter Catharina marry Christianus Cornelius UHLENBECK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">His second daughter, Agneta Margaretha, my 4th great grandmother married 24th February 1820; they had 11 children including a set of twins. Only two were boys.\u00a0<strong>Think of all those girls to marry off \u2013 all those dowries!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jacob Piachaud, son of Major Francois Louis Piachaud, De Meuron Regt of Nyon, Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Jacob had been born in Madras India on June 16th 1797, son of Francois Piachaud and Johanna Dorothea Hageman (of Sweden).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Having been defeated in the battle with the British over control of Ceylon, and absorbed into the British East India Company\u2019s army, the De Meuron Regt. They were in India with the 77th Highland Regiment; also in that company was its Brevet Major, and Deputy paymaster, Lachlan Macquarie<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Having been educated in Geneva and completed compulsory military training, Jacob went to Colombo Ceylon where his mother and youngest sister lived; he was employed as an Actuary with the Bank of Ceylon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Olke lived a life full of adventure and prosperity. Beginning at age 17 he had spent 20 years travelling the Globe covering some 189,000 sea miles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">By 1784 he had risen to Harbour Master of the Port of Colombo. When he retired in 1795 he had served 36 years with the VOC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the silhouette (Silhouette portrait of Olke Andringa, member of Lodges Salomon and De Standvastigheid, ca 1775 \u2013 1791; anonymous artist) below he looks very prosperous \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Olke died on 5th July 1812 in Ceylon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sadly I don\u2019t know where he was buried in Colombo except for this note in a book on Ceylon Tombstones \u2013 #1547.\u2014July 31, 1812\u2014Oeke Andringa.
