BirthOrigin*Juriaen was from Amsterdam and was perhaps born there circa 1630. His age is estimated.1 
Monsterrollen and Opgaafrollen (Muster and tax rolls)On 31 May 1657 Juriaen Jansz: was enumerated in the muster roll, as an arquebusier of the Robbejactien, earning f 12.1
Vrijbriewen and Burgher StatusOn 15 December 1657, Juriaen Jansz: was granted a vrijbrief or letter of freedom which released him from his contractual obligations to the VOC and accorded him the status of vrijburgher or free burgher. He was recorded as an arquebusier.2
Slave TransactionsBetween 6 May 1658 and 1 October 1658 Pauwels Das was sold by the Company to Juriaen Jansz:, Gerrit Harmens and Thomas Christoffel Müller, this transaction is assumed. The 3 settlers were co-owners of the Saldanha oil and fishing lease or pach.3
On 1 October 1658 Pieter Rob, Pauwels Das, Jan Meeuw van Angola and Jackie Joy van Angola were put up as security in a skuldbrief by Juriaen Jansz:, Gerrit Harmens and Thomas Christoffel Müller in favour of the wife of the commander Maria de la Queillerie. This was for a loan of f 300 at ¾% per month. In addition Jansz:, Hermanusz: and Muller included as security their current two vehicles [wagons?] as well any they may acquire in the future. The payment in the first month was excused, thereafter they were to make monthly payments until the original amount, plus interest, was repaid. Presumably they carried out the agreement, because the skuldbrief was cancelled on 1 February 1660.3
