= Simon van Steelant (1626-1701) was married to Petronella Van der Walle (1631-1717). Their son Johannes van Steelant (1659-1716) entered service of the VOC and started his career in 1678 as bookkeeper in Masulipatnam (India) where he married his first wife Petronella Fronterius in 1685. Rising through the ranks he became governor of the Dutch settlements on the Coast of Coromandel around 1700. After his first wife's death he married Anthonia Nilo in Negapatnam who in turn died in childbirth in 1709 (her tomb, the largest in Negapatnam, is still preserved). In 1710 Johannes van Steelant was transferred to Batavia, from whence he returned to The Netherlands in 1713. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXX.
