Birth*

Jan Hendrik Smit was born circa 1665.¹

Occupation*

On 25 June 1697 Jan Hendrik Smit was a first mate on the Assendelfft, a vessel of the return fleet.¹

Slave Transactions

On 25 June 1697 Domingo van Pondicherry was sold by Jan Hendrik Smit to Henning Hüsing, for Rds. 40. I have assumed the day of this transaction to be the 25th, given that it is recorded in the middle of several others on this day.²
