27 members of the royal and noble families of Java, Batavia and Surabaya were dispatched by the Dutch for service as officers in the Dutch army in Ceylon.
Among them was Jebeye Doella Prince of Bantam (former city and sultanate of Java, Indonesia). In order to be commissioned as an officer in the Ceylon Rifle Corps they had to swear allegiance to the king of England, for which purpose he had hidden his identity by changing his name retaining a part of the original phonetic sounds and was called Baba Ibrahim Doole, and Rt. Hon. Lieutenant General Thomas Maitland Governor and Commander in Chief, Commissioned him as a native Lieutenant in the 1st Ceylon Regiment on 10th august 1810.
In the history, it was recorded:
- In 1705, Amangkurat III left the palace and went to East Java. - During the year of 1707 Amangkurat III suffered because of being hunted by Pakubuwana I. From Malang he moved to Blitar, then to Kediri, finally deciding to surrender in Surabaya in 1708. - Amangkurat III then arrested on 1708 in Surabaya, then moved to Batavia, then moved to Ceylon. - He died on 1734 in Ceylon. Anyway, I found the name "Raden Ajeng Sumila", his daughter, who was born on 1723. But Raden Ajeng Sumila was definitely not the daughter of Raden Ayu Himpun (daughter of Pakubuwana I), because Amangkurat III divorced Raden Ayu Himpun in around 1703-1704, when he was in conflict with Pakubuwana I. So, perhaps Raden Ajeng Sumila was the daughter of Amangkurat III's wife who was from Onje. Raden Ajeng Sumila was married to Pakubuwana II on July 1738, but then divorced on 1739. And then she married to Raden Ngabehi Suryowikromo (Regent of Gresik) on June 1741. With the record of Raden Ajeng Sumila, it can be interpreted that Amangkurat III was sent to Ceylon after 1723, because Raden Ajeng Sumila was still in Kartasura since 1723. There is no more record about Amangkurat III's decedants in overseas after 1723, in our history. But this does not rule out the possibility if there were descendants of Amangkurat III who were born in Ceylon during the years 1723-1734.
