At times their first day in the Landraad is corroborated by a letter of appointment from the Galle commander and formal introductions at the meetings. A few records of earlier meetings exist but are intermittent. Councillors who served for short periods from 1759 to 1796 may have escaped this list as some meeting data during this period is also missing. It must be kept in mind that some members were absent for long durations, citing reasons mentioned in chapter two. The ‘last’ date is the day on which the member is last listed in the available meeting records, but it does not mean that he was always present at that meeting. On some occasions, his death was announced on that day. The ‘generale land- en zeemonsterrollen’ of the VOC’s Amsterdam chamber and S A W Mottau’s indexes of acts of ap- pointments from Galle and Colombo provided information on birthplace and first appointment in the east. Family trees published in the Journal of the Dutch Burgher Union and the database of VOC sea voyagers (http://vocopvarenden.nationaalarchief.nl/) were also useful in drawing up this table. 183 Name Birthplace 1st appoi- Record in meetings ntment First Last Marin, August Charles de Celle 1774 25 Jul 1778 21 Oct 1780 Martheze, Nicolaas Bernardus Galle 1737 27 Jun 1767 5 Sept 1767 7 Jan 1775 21 Sept 1776 11 Mar 1780 15 Jul 1780 Mazius, Sixtus Colombo 1737 14 Jul 1764 14 Feb 1767 Medeler, Hendrik Anthonij Colombo 1751 21 Feb 1767 28 Nov 1767 Meurling, Johannes Westerwijk 1745 20 Nov 1779 Moor, Pieter Arend de Colombo 1761 20 Apr 1786 12 Dec 1795 Nagel, Harmanus Amsterdam 1749 8 Dec 1770 22 Jun 1771 Oosterlo, Maurits Varnholte 1723 29 Sept 1759 6 Dec 1760 Otto, Coenraad Mannar 1751 21 Mar 1789 2 Aug 1793 Poulier, Aarnout Galle 1740 14 July 1764 6 Aug 1764 Poulier, Adriaan Galle 1770 21 Apr 1781 15 May 1784 Prevo, Coenraad - 1733 14 Jul 1764 8 Mar 1766 Ranzow, August Christian Anthon Oldenburg 1788 23 Aug 1793 12 Dec 1795 Graaf van Rooij, Jacobus de Galle 1740 9 Mar 1765 7 Jan 1775 Roosmale Cocq, Petrus Jacobus Leiden 1764 16 May 1778 19 Aug 1785 11 Dec 1790 12 Dec 1795 Runstoff, Casparus Matara 1766 19 Aug 1785 14 Jan 1786 Samlant, Abraham Colombo 1769 24 Dec 1779 12 Nov 1788 Schreuder, Johan Fredrik Erfurt 1775 12 May 1787 1 Sept 1787 Schuler, Pieter William Ferdinand Utrecht 1780 12 Nov 1788 23 Oct 1790 Adriaan van Sieling, Casper Galle 1755 4 Jul 1772 25 Jul 1772 Silva, Pieter Simonsz de Galle 1761 28 May 1785 12 May 1787 Sluijsken, Pieter Amsterdam 1758 15 Jan 1766 14 Mar 1772 Stein, Johannes Halle 1745 29 Sept 1759 15 Jul 1775 Strehl, Johan Theodoor - - 29 Sept 1759 22 Oct 1760 Stroebbe, Balthazar Hendrik Osnabrück 1748 14 Jul 1764 27 Apr 1776 Stroebbe, Balthazar Nicolaas Galle 1760 29 Jul 1775 21 Sept 1776 Swieten, Floris van Leiden 1736 12 Jul 1760 15 Oct 1762 Teylingen, Theodoris van Negapatnam 1784 24 May 1788 12 Nov 1788 Tekenborg, Jan David Nijmegen 1763 21 Feb 1767 19 Dec 1772 Toussaint, Johannes Colombo 1732 29 Sept 1759 6 Dec 1760 Trek, Justinus Christiaan Colombo 1775 11 Jul 1787 12 Dec 1795 Velde, Egbert van de Galle 1734 29 Sept 1759 6 Dec 1760 Velzen, Adriaan van Batavia 1746 21 Feb 1767 26 Nov 1768 Vos, Pieter de Colombo 1742 8 Jun 1765 21 Mar 1772 16 Nov 1782 2 Feb 1793 Wahlberg, Johannes Kalmer 1787 10 May 1793 12 Dec 1795 Wijnants, Gerrits Jansz - - 15 Aug 1772 21 Sept 1776 Zitter, Wilhelmus Gijsbert van Galle 1766 8 Jul 1786 - Nadeera Rupesinghe 184 APPENDIX II: RULERS OF KANDY AND DUTCH GOVERNORS Kings of Kandy 1591–1815 Vimaladharmasuriya I 1591–1604 Senerat 1604–1635 Rajasingha II 1635–1687 Vimaladharmasuriya II 1687–1707 Narendra Singha 1707–1739 Sri Vijaya Rajasingha 1739–1747 Kirti Sri Rajasingha 1747–1782 Rajadhi Rajasingha 1782–1798 Sri Vikrama Rajasingha 1798–1815 Dutch Governors of Ceylon 1640–1796 Willem J.
