Johannes van Beverhoudt is the fourth and last of the early members of this family on St. Thomas. He made his appearance in March 1700 when he is listed as having recently begun a plantation on the East End of St. Thomas.128 The following year, on the 15th August 1701, he was permitted by the Vice Commander to be engaged to Sara Mooy, the late Captain Daniel Mooy's daughter, and on the following day they were engaged.129 On 11 September 1701, he married in the Dutch Reformed Church, Sara Mooy.130 She was born on St. Thomas in about 1687, and was the daughter of Captain Daniel Mooy and his wife Dorothea.131

In about 1721, he took up an estate in what was then called Pieter de Loos Bay, St. John.132 In July 1722, he was listed as a resident on St. Thomas and an owner of property on St. John, and was characterized as "good and reliable subject."133

As of 1728, he had a manager [Mesterknegt] on the plantation with 14 male slaves, 2 female slaves, along with 2 male and 3 female manqueroons. He and his family lived on St. Thomas.134 In 1729, the situation had not changed, with the exception that now there were 27 slaves on his St. John plantation.135 In 1730, no real change had occurred, as there were 14 slaves, 9 manqueroon and 3 boys under age with a Mestereknegt. Johannes and his family were still living on St. Thomas136.

In 1731, Johannes's estate had his son as a Mesterknegt, and there were 15 male and 2 female slaves, 7 female house slaves, 7 manqueroons, 10 boys and 6 girls under age. Johannes, his wife and children continued to live on St. Thomas.137

In 1730, Johannes also acquired Robben Preyer's plantation after his death, and it was described as growing a little cotton. There were no slaves there.138 In 1731, a little cotton was grown and and there were some animals, but there were not slaves.139

Also in 1730, Johannes acquired a half part of estate no. 39, which had belonged to Jan van Harmael.140

In 1731, estate no. 38, in Riff and Fish Bay, was said to have been acquired by Johannes on 10 October 1730, from Lucas Volkers and deceased Jan van Hermael or Jan van Hermael and Johannis Laurert Carstensen, which had been purchased at auction. There were no slaves on it141.

There were on this cotton state as of 1727, 11 male and 3 female slaves, and 1 male manqueroon and 1 bosal.142 In 1729, matters remained the same on his St. John estate.143 In 1730, Engel van Beverhoudt, Junior, moved from St. Thomas, and his family consisted of himself, a 14 year old daughter and 4 children under age. Resident was also a Mesterknegt. Among the slaves there were 60 adults, 22 children under age, 1 boy 11 years old and a girl 10 years, along with 5 manqueroons.144

Appendix 4
Beverhout, Henry, Free Black Man from Nova Scotia to Sierra Leone
Simon Schama Rough Crossings -

p. 299]
Clarkson appointed forty black captains, including ... another Pioneer originally from St. Croix, Henry Beverhout, ... who were to be distributed among the ships. ...


p. 330] ...Henry Beverhout, one of the Methodist captains, came to see him to insist tha this flock had nothing to do with the agitation. ..
p. 335] ... But, to his dismay, Clarkson also noticed that liquor was starting to make inroads among "his
blacks. To his amazement the Methodist preacher Henry Beverhout had actually complained that Clarkson withheld grog from the blacks working on the experimental garden attached to his house. To Clarkson this could only mean that Beverhout had somehow fallen under the influence of Peters, ...
p. 336] ...

When he got back from another trip up-river to Bance Island ... he was handed an extraordinary letter. It was signed by Henry Beverhout on behalf of his own company, but evidently spoke for many more. There were immediate, material, concrete issues to which Beverhout haddressed imself: "the pepel of our Companey Consesents to the wagers that your honoer proposul that is to work for two Shillens a day as long as we drowr our provisions'...

But the document of the 25th of June was not just a list of grievances, more a social and political contract. It was an assertion, the first of its kind, of the civil and political rights to which the blacks knew they were entitled. It was, in factg, the first African-American demand for representation-a proper share in British freedom. 'We are all willing to be govern by the laws of england in full but we donot Consent to gave it in to your hands with out haven aney of our own Culler in it.' ... 'ther is non of us wold wish your hoer to go way [p. 337] and leave us hear but your will be pleased to rember what y our honer told the piepel in a maraca [America] at Shelburn that is whoever Came to Sarraleon wold be free and houls have a law and when theur war aney trial thear should be a jurey of both white and black and all should be equel so we Consideren all this think that we have a wright to Chuse men that we think proper for to act for us in a reasonable manner'. ... 'we wish for pece if posable we can but to gave all out of our hands we cannot your honer know that we have laws and ragerlations among our self and be Consirent with the laws of England because we have seen it in all the parts whear eaver we have being Sir we do not mene to take the law in our hands by no meanes but to have your honer approbation for we own you to be our had and governer.'
