Birth*

Abraham Borgers was born circa 1640.¹

Property Transactions

On 14 April 1670 Anthonij de Later van Japan gave power of attorney to Solomon Swerus merchant of Amsterdam, to collect f 16.15 on his behalf from the Bewindhebbers, that is the Seventeen. This related to an account dated 23 April 1669 for the Ternaten signed by the junior merchant, Abraham Borgers. Sailing from Texel to Batavia, the Ternaten had stopped at the Cape from 11 to 27 April 1669. Presumably Anthonij had provided services or goods to the vessel, for which he had yet to be paid.¹
