Jan Coenraadsz Visser alias Jan Groff 1
born Ommen 2
died circa 1696, (assumed from muster rolls) 3
Notes:
He left Holland from Goeree on 17th December 1657, travelling on the ship
'Dordrecht' as a soldier of the Dutch East India Company. The ship arrived
at the Cape on 28th April 1658. On the 8th May he was drafted on shore as
a rifleman (he is listed as a soldier in the muster roll of 5th March 1659) and
became a free settler on 30th September 1659.

His wife and children were granted a passage to the Cape and arrived on
the 'Malacca' on 4th February 1662.

The muster rolls of 1664, the earliest to list numbers of children, lists:

Jan Coenraet Visser, van Ommen met Geertje Gerrits van Hardenburg.
3 kinderen (Lorna Newcomb suggest that these were probably Geesje,
Gerrit and Coenraad.)

(Information from Leibbrandt's Letters and Documents Received 1649-1662,
and from the Daybook of Jan Anthonisz van Riebeeck, 1651-1662, references
provided by Lorna Newcomb)

In the muster rolls of 1688 Jan Coenraet Visser and Grietje Visser are listed
(VC 39, page 79). After this date there the muster rolls that exist (1690, 1691)
do not list wives. In 1692 Jan Coenraet Visscher is listed without a wife
(wives were listed in this year), VC39 page 111, and he is again single in the
roll for 1692 and 1695 but does not appear after that date (next roll 1696).

In his opgaaf return for 1695 he is recorded as living in the Cape District, single,
with only 6 cattle and no other farming produce, one female slave, 1 slave boy
and 2 slave girls.
