• Jehane is named Jeanne Marthe by the Dutch East India Company on 23 December 1687 in Rotterdam. Her age is than given as 60, placing her birth in approximately 1627, but the earlier data above is preferred and much more likely to be correct. ◦ SOURCE : Dutch East India Company planned passenger list of December 1687- ex Rotterdam (C Graham Botha pp.140)
• The term “carretier” is more likely "charretier", which would have made him a carter who moved stuff from A to B with a cart or wagon, whether wood or harvests or the like.
