Aaron Nunes Vaz (112-4)

Aaron is listed in the Sephardic Jewish Registers PA334-978/979 "Registros dos Despachos" (Registers of Dispatched Persons), Amsterdam Municipality Archives. The list covers the period 1759-1813 with all the names of the poor Sephardic Jews who were granted Sedaca (charity) - an amount in Dutch florins- against the promise to leave Amsterdam and not to return within the next 15 years.

Aron was granted 120 Florins and departed for Suriname on April 7th, 1779.

While there is no direct evidence, it is the belief of researcher Jarrett Ross that he is Aaron Nunes Vaz who married Leah and had a daughter Leah who was married in Jamaica.
