MOREIRA - Family #1272

This tree was started in 1999 with little more than a paragraph, by March 2011 it has grown to x pages and will continue to grow – may this be an inspiration to those wishing to trace their family. I want to sincerely thank my late father Douglas and late mother Fortune for my upbringing, discipline and common decency and to those that provided information, supported and encouraged me in my endeavours. I am extremely proud, and to be a Ceylonese / Sri Lankan.

Notes for Sir Dr Joao Bonifacio Misso:

"A History of the Catholic Church 1796 - 1874 by Arthur C Dep" 

 

A new Catholic mission was set up in Pettah by Dr J.B Misso using part of his home. This was a break away from the Ceylon Catholic Church as Misso and other Burghers were upset that the Church was not spending money on creating schools to teach English. The money was instead spent on Church Buildings.

 

This new mission is described in the Ceylon Almanac of 1845 (Page 152)and it was a break away from the authority of Rome and was set up with the authority of the Queen of Portugal. The following people were nominated:

 

 

 

Missionary Registrar   S. C de Heer

 

Organist -            C.V. De Medonsa

 

Sexton -             Henry Gonsal

 

Native Sexton -       Warnacoolege Jusey Perera

 

Trustees of the Burial Ground - J. B. Misso, F. Daniel, and J. P. Van Langenberg

 

Keeper of the Burial Ground - C.T. Dias

 

According to “The History of the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka’, Vol 2, the British Period, 1845-1849 by Fr V. Perniola, S.J., page 3,

 

 The group , which never went beyond one hundred, was considered by the Oratorians as Schismatics, that is, separated from the main body of the Catholics. Religious services were held in the house of Dr John Boniface Misso, in a room fitted up for this purpose. This chapel went under the title of Holy Emmanuel.

Notes for Wilhelmus Henricus Mortier:

Edward Cornelius Mortier belongs definitely to the line of Mortiers back to Nicolaas, he has been placed into this particular area due to naming traditions eg sister Maud Caroline and Edward Cornelius Mortier had a daughter Maud Clarice. As more data surfaces this will either be further qualified or realocated probably at least as being first cousins rather than sister of Maud Caroline.

Notes for Assistant Superintendent Benjamin dela Harpe:

  John benjamin was an Inspector in the Ceylon Police Force from 1846 to 1865 and in 1866 was made Assistant Superintendent of Police, filling the position that was made vacant by the death of his father. He was considered an outstanding Detective. The following extracts pertaining to his position are taken from the "History of the Ceylon Police", Vol. 2 by A.C. Dep,Deputy Inspector  of Police - Ceylon.

In reference to a riot in Colombo, "This disturbance was quelled in Colombo due to the exertions of Campbell and Officers like dela Harpe .... (p7) - "In Colombo was Mr. Benjamin dela Harpe who had joined the Force on the 1/7/1846 and had succeeded his father as Assistant Superintendent of Police. He had already made a name as Detective, like his father ..." (p11). A rather interesting incident was a Departmental  interdiction of his son-in-law, Inspector van Langenberg in 1876. The Inspector  of Police, Mr Campbell  elected Benjamin dela Harpe to be one of the three members of the panel conducting the interdiction. The reason for this decision given by Mr Campbell was, "I chos him as being Mr van Langenbergs father-in-law in case any point in favour of the accused may be overlooked. Mr dela Harpe is also an intelligent and fair Officer". (p175) He retired from the Police Force in 1891. "He had been in Government Service since 1842 and in the Police Department from 1846. Since he was mentally and physically active he wanted an extension of two more years. He was particularly useful during times of religious conflict. Especially he has been useful when more than once feelings have run high between Roman Catholics and Buddhists, for he himself a Roman Catholic, held in high esteem by the Archbishop and the Priesthood. His retirement was fixed for June 1891. He applied to the Secretary of State for an enhanced pension forwarding testimonials from Campbell and Hansard which left no room to doubt that he had served Government with exceptional zeal, fidelity and intelligence for an exceptionally long time."(p291)

 

  Pope Leo XIII on the occasion of his Sacerdotal Jubilee expressed his thanks to Benjamin for his co-operation and donations to the Vatican. (dated 31/8/1888)

Notes for Captain Jean Brohier:

The following entry in the book of appointments 1785 refers to him.  "(Jan) John Brohier of Jersey arrived in 1777 as sailor in the ship "Loo" upon the salary of 9 [pounds].  Now an ensign upon the receipt of 10 [pounds].  Pursuant to a resolution of in the Council of India of this date promoted to a lieutenant with a salary of 50 Guilders per month upon a new agreement of five years from this date.  In the Fort of Batavia this 13th August 1784.

 

(Signed W.A. Altring

Governor General

 

The many vicissitudes of his early career in Ceylon are set out in a memorial he addressed to His Excellency The Honorable Fredrick North, Governor of Ceylon about the year 1801.  We may gather from it that he was apparently placed in a very delicate position when in 1782 Great Britain and holland were involved in war.  At this period, he still retained the hope of returning to his native country.  Governor Van de Graffe appreciated his difficulty, accepted his plea that he had taken service when the Dutch were allied to the British and gave him leave to resign from his post in the company.

 

Owing to certain pecuniary losses which he had soon after this, circumstances rendered it out of his power to gratify his wish to return to Europe.  Consequently, he figures in two instances which happened at Trincomalee soon after the station was occupied by the British troops under Sir Hector Munro in 1782.  In one he appears to have been of assistance to Mr. Pooter who was ship-wrecked and lost all his property.  In the other, he appears to have accompanied Hugh Boyd on his journey when he was commanded to proceed to the court of the Kandyan king.  Two years after he had resigned from the service he rejoined the Dutch East India Company as a rank of Lieutenant.

 

 

  The following entry in the book of appointments 1785 refers to him.  "(Jan) John Brohier of Jersey arrived in 1777 as sailor in the ship "Loo" upon the salary of 9 [pounds].  Now an ensign upon the receipt of 10 [pounds].  Pursuant to a resolution of in the Council of India of this date promoted to a lieutenant with a salary of 50 Guilders per month upon a new agreement of five years from this date.  In the Fort of Batavia this 13th August 1784.

 

The entry in the book of appointments which has been drawn on previously would appear to have reference to this appointment on being re-enlisted.  In 1790 he was commissioner of the pearl fishery in conjunction with Capt.- Lt. Samuel Peter Foenander but later receiving promotion to the command of a company he proceeded to Jaffnapatam and while in that fort which was at the time heralded by a small complement of corps inadequate for the purposes of defence. He was made a prisoner of war and was called upon to draw up the articles of agreement when the British arrived and occupied it in 1795.  Through the agency of John Floyd he was later recommended to join James Stuart who commanded the British expedition as an honest, faithful, and scientific officer.  John Stuart offered him a post in the British Service which he nevertheless refused, urging delicacy of his situation for doing so.

 

Through the favour of Governor North, he received in the year 1802 a payment as 2nd Provincial Judge of Puttalam, but he held this post only for a very short period.

 

A letter addressed to him by Robert Arbuthnot, Secretary to the Governor, conveyed to him the information that in consequence of the strict and peremptory orders received from His Majesty's Ministers that none but Civil Servants of Government should hold any place in the Civil or Judiciary lines His Excellency will be under the painful necessity of suppressing the 2nd judges of the Provincial Courts of Matara, Colombo, Puttalam and Jaffnapatam,  circumstances which give him very great regret the injunction not to create any places or to grant any allowance without permission from Home, he continues, are so precise that it is out of His Excellency's power to evade or dispense with them. His Excellency hopes however to be able in a short space of time to provide, although not so well as he could wish for you and the other Generals who are deprived of their stations. 

However, Brohier did not live to receive any such rank or favour. His demise in August the following year 1803 brought his versatile career to a close.

Notes for Major Hendrik Ludwig dela Harpe:

  The Swiss mercenary regiment de Meuron was formed in 1781 by Colonel Daniel de Meuron and had served under the French at sea in India. They had next transferred to the Dutch, served at the Cape for five years, and arrived in Ceylon in 1788. Cleghorn, a Scot and former Professor, approached the Count in Switzerland and proposed that the Count transfer his regiment to the British for a sum of five thousand pounds. De Meuron accepted and Cleghorn then sailed for India with the Count's instructions for the Commander of the Regiment in Ceylon, the Count's brother.

 

  During the seige of Colombo and after extracting a promise from Major Agnew, the British envoy, that the regiment would not be called upon to fight against the Dutch, the Regiment de Meuron was formally released from its oath. On the 8th of October 1795 the Regiment transferred to the English together with plans of Colombo's defences and a knowledge of Dutch strengths and weaknesses. The Dutch were merchants and unprepared to fight but they defended their trading concessions for another five months. The British had a reputation for intrigue so the Dutch did not feel they coult trust them and so fought on, finally surrendering on the 15th of February 1796.

 

  Ceylon then became an English possession under military occupation and Captain Pierre de Meuron, commanding officer of the de Meuron regiment in Ceylon, was appointed a Brigadier  in the British Army and Commander-in-Chief and Military Governor of Ceylon until the arrival of Lord North in October 1798. Some members of the de Meuron Regiment remained in Ceylon and the Piachaud, Senn and dela Harpe families are among their decendants.

 

The DeMeurons From 1781 to 1795

Under the Dutch and their French Allies.

In the year 1781 French authorities helped to raise a new regiment in the Swiss canton, soliciting recruits in and around Neuchatel. The regiment was called the deMeuron Regiment, taking it's name from the commander, Comte Charles de Meuron, born in Neuchatel in1738 and who served in the French regiment D'Erlach. The DeMeuron Regiment consisted of 1020 men, 10 companies of 102 men each, fully armed and equipped.

 

This regiment was to serve the Dutch East India Company protecting the Dutch colonies, the Cape of Good Hope in particular. A Dutch base was established there in 1652, to act as a supply depot for the provisioning of ships on the long voyage from Europe to India. By the 1700's, Dutch settlers, the Boers, were well established there.

 

On January 7, 1782, the regiment landed in Capetown, only to re-embark shortly on the Hermione to Ceylon where they were to reinforce the Suffrens. Ceylon had been under Dutch rule since 1665, yet in the latter part of the 18th century, the British began to move eastward from India. In Ceylon, the DeMeuron Regiment took part in the expulsion of the British from Cuddalore, which was "sorely beset by the English under Stuart."

 

After peace, the DeMeuron Regiment shared garrison duty with the French Regiment de Pondicherry, in Capetown. Many duels were fought between the men of the two regiments. Tensions were developing between the Swiss and their French `Allies', and between the English and Dutch settlers on the Cape of Good Hope. Many of the De Meurons deserted at this time, enticed by the Dutch Boers to become farmhands. The DeMeurons were eventually relieved by the Regiment de Wurtenburg, in time to prevent complete disintegration.

 

In 1786 the DeMeuron Regiment was sent back to Ceylon, leaving in Capetown a depot of 33 men. Ceylon was governed at this time by Governor Van Angelbeek, in Colombo. While in Ceylon, the regiment answered to him and to Colonel Pierre de Meuron, brother of Comte Charles de Meuron, who had returned to Switzerland. Some time during these period the regiment was "borrowed" from the Dutch by the French. the DeMeurons served as marines on board a fleet operation against the British.

 

On August 26, 1795, two companies of the DeMeuron Regiment were taken prisoner, by the British at Trincomalee, when the British stormed Ceylon. After a weak attempt at defence, Holland surrendered Ceylon to the British. The Dutch East India Company went bankrupt, and could not pay its troops. In the tradition of the time, the DeMeuron Regiment entered into British service.

British Regular Army Service, 1795 to 1816

His Majesties Regiment de Meuron

The transfer took place under the guidance of Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, Secretary of War for Britain, and Hugh Cleghorn, a professor at St. Andrews University and a friend of Comte Charles de Meuron. The settled the matter with the Dutch East India Company, and almost all of the remaining 860 DeMeurons registered in the British Army. The rank and file were to be paid arrears due to them and were to be taken into the army at the same rate of pay as the British Soldiers. With news of the transfer, the DeMeuron prisoners at Trincomalee were released. Comte de Meuron was paid 4,000£ and he and his brother Pierre were given the rank of  in the British Army. Following the take-over of Ceylon, Hugh Cleghorn was given 5,000£ by the British government and appointed the Crown Secretary of Ceylon. However, Henry Dundas Viscount Melville and the British government tried to avoid paying the dues owed to the men of DeMeuron Regiment. Most of the DeMeurons were not paid off Dutch service until 1796.

Under the terms of the agreement, finalised in 1798, the DeMeuron Regiment finally entered into full service with the British Army. It consisted of 2 battalions, of 5 companies of infantry each.  

 

The Mysore Campaign, 1799.

The DeMeuron Regiment performed their most important service to Britain in 1799. They were under the command of Lieutenant Colonel the Honourable Arthur Wellesley (Later, the Duke of Wellington.)

In the west and south of India there were two "vigorous and expansive powers" working against the British, the Maràthàs and Mysore. there had already been three campaigns against the Sultan Tippu-Saib, who led the Mysore power. The third Mysore War, led by Cornwallis, lasted from 1789 to 1792. Cornwallis had thought he had brought Sultan Tippu-Saib to bay.

 

Wellesley decided first to strike at Mysore, still a formidable military power and avowedly hostile. The British stormed Seringapatam on May 4th, 1799.

 

The DeMeuron Regiment took no small part in this campaign. The men conducted themselves bravely. They were the first to go "over the top," as the Forlorn Hope. The Sultan Tippu-Saib was isolated and died in the fighting. There were rejoicings among the British over this "unexpectedly complete victory." The DeMeuron suffered 80 casualties.

 

Wellington reported the good record of the DeMeurons. In spite of this, the Indian natives refused to regard the regiment with the respect they accorded to a British unit. As being foreigners (Swiss,) the natives held the idea that the DeMeurons had been bought as slaves. Wellington also reported that the DeMeuron Regiment was equal to or better than British regiments in good conduct, discipline and military ability.

 

Comte Charles-Daniel de Meuron returned to the country of his birth shortly after the seizure of Seringapatm, leaving command of his regiment to Pierre-Frederick de Meuron. Charles de Meuron died on April 4, 1806.

 

The DeMeuron Regiment remained in India until 1806. There, they served in several campaigns.

Notes for Robert Charles George Brohier:

Jacob Schweppes who founded the Schweppes Company in Geneva in the early 1780's and brought the business to England in 1792. After developing his mineral water business for 6 years , Joseph prepared to retire at the age of 58. He sold three-quarters of his interest to three Jerseymen, retained a one-eighth share for himself, and one eighth in the name of Colette. In 1798 he made a clear profit of £1200, a considerable sum of money at the time. His artificial mineral waters had met even greater success in England than they had enjoyed in Switzerland. The three Channel Islanders were Henry William Lauzun (his Nephew), Francis C Lauzun (his Brother-in-law) and Robert Charles Brohier. The new partners decided to carry the business forward under the name of Schweppes & Company in the Margaret Street premises. Jacob and Colette would reveal "the whole art, mistery and process of making and composing artificial mineral waters". The consideration for the shares acquired by the new partners was £2250, giving the business a total valuation of £3000 in the values of the day. On 14th February 1799, Jacob and Colette relinquished another half of their quarter share in the business. As the 18th century ended, so the Schweppes parted company with the great business they had founded. Jacob traveled through Germany and returned eventually to Geneva where he enjoyed a comfortable retirement until he died in November 1821.Colette sold her remaining shares in the company in 1824.

 

As the new century dawned, three Jerseymen were ready to take the company forward. The decision to carry the Schweppes name was clearly a fortuitous one for the company continued to expand its trade and sales. Schweppes waters could be consigned carriage paid to even the furthest corners of England , Scotland and Wales - it was not confined to the capital like many of its rivals. A network of agentts was established throughout the land within the first decade of the new century. Each agent was supported by advertisements in the local press and so Schweppes were among the first ever manufacturers to advertise their goods on a national scale. In an age before the railways, goods were consigned around the country by a variety of means. These included horse transport or wagons, canal boats or coasting vessels. From a letter dated August 4 1802, it is known that Schweppes were using the "Birmingham and Coventry Flying Wagons" operated by Deykin & Co, from the Bell, Wood Street, Cheapside. Another company used went by the name of "Philips Wagon". A fascinating letter dated January 24th 1811 from J Schweppe & Co to the "Rt. .Hon Lord Elgin of Broom Hall, Fifeshire gives an insight into the transportation of the waters ;

 

"We beg to advise our having forwarded by the Old Shipping Company’s smack Queen Charlotte, William Nesbitt, Master, a hamper containing 5 dozen half pints Soda Water which we hope will arrive safe ….."

 

The company faced numerous competitors in the lucrative mineral water business. In Birmingham William Henry had set up his own plant and enjoyed a near monopoly but was fearful of encroachment by Schweppes. Nicolas Paul, a former partner of Schweppes in Geneva had decided to start up in London, in direct competition with Schweppes. All the competitors seemed unable to match the quality of Schweppes waters. The export trade also proved to be a lucrative area for the company.

 

The partnership of 1798 was dissolved by a deed dated May 1824, and the new partners were Robert Brohier, R J Brohier and Richard Annesley Sparkes of Oaking in Surrey. Robert Brohier was one of the three original Jerseymen and had held the largest share in the business since 1801. He had taken up residence at Margaret Street and assumed control of production and  company management. Some time before 1831 the company was granted royal patronage when they became suppliers of soda water to King William IV. This was a major achievement and would no doubt have helped to increase sale even further.  These 3 took an important part in the development of the firm. In 1812 he had increased his share in the business by purchasing the one-fourth share of Francis C Lauzun. The Company had become a world-wide corporation and was grandly featured by its famous 'Crystal Palace' at the London Exhibition of 1851. The contribution of Robert Charles George Brohier was not just  to the development of Schweppes as a International Empire but alos to the commercial deveolpment of Jersey. A set of stamps from Jersey printed in 1985 comemorated him and his achievements along with other influential people of Jersey.

Notes for Louis Philippe dela Harpe:

  The seige and bombardment of Maesticht forced him to shut up his establishment and hurriedly depart on horseback, leaving his home opened and furnished and only carrying some gold stitched to his clothing. At his request the  of the Imperial Army gave him safe conduct and an escort so that he could cross the enemy lines; this journey took him a whole day and a night. He settled down in  Zutphen where he brought citizenship for his daughter, Jaqueline Esther Catherine (20/11/1794). The state entrusted him with secret missions for which he was rewarded on the 2/2/1797  by a payment of 100 florins and two casks of red wine.

 

 Having a great desire to see his country liberated, he returned to Switzerland in 1799 after having persuaded the family vander Muelen to migrate. Louis Philippe settled in Paudex whence came his name, "la Harpe de Paudex", under which he is ordinarily known.

 

  Not very long after on the 20/6/1800, he received the famous letter by Mousson, Secretary  of the Directory, and addressed to Jenner, Swiss Minister in Paris. This letter, on the back of which we read, "Deliver this to la Harpe", was brought by a man named Reymodin who came from Pully to Louis Philippe who in turn delivered it to Frederic Cesar. Frederic Cesar in reading this letter believed that there was evidence of a plot against the Swiss Republic and the French Republic. He immediately sent a copy of it to the Legislative Council. Following this matter Frederic Cesar was arrested in Lausanne and transferred to Berne. However he escaped in Payerne and went to Paris on the 2/7/1800.

Notes for Captain Jean Brohier:

A stone bridge across the northern arm of the ----- , near the fort of Madras, bears the inscription "WALLAJAH BRIDGE erected by order of the Government in 1755 on piers which had been laid about 1740 by Mr. J. Brohier, Engineer".  The person whose name figures on the inscription was born at Harwich in Ireland and was, at that time on ensign in the Madras Engineers.

Promotion came to him rapidly and in 1758 he was serving in the capacity of Chief Engineer with the rank of Major.  Four years later, he was transferred to Calcutta to build Fort William but before much had been accomplished in this connection his services, it would appear, were summarily terminated.  Various theories are explained as to the cause of this.  But, perhaps the real fact, presenting as it does sufficient ostensible reason, is that " on the evening of the 2nd December, 1760, five important plans of the Fort for which the Major was responsible, were stolen by a man of the name of Fontayne".  The French name of the thief gave a clue to the reason for the theft and to the destination of the stolen plans, considered collaterally with the circumstances that the capture of Fort St.George by the French in 1746 and the destruction of Fort St,David at Quddalore (1756) were still ranking in the mind of the company are other added grounds for speculation as to why the Fort William authorities found it necessary to change the Engineer and alter the original plans.

The Major as the record shows, came over to Ceylon from Calcutta, through the agency of Sir John Clay who was for a short time his successor in office.  Representations were made to India House urging "that it was a misfortune to the Company that Mr. J. Brohier was forced from Bengal" in which opinion, it would appear to me and the Authorities concur. He was later re-instated and placed in command of a company of artillery.

Notes for Jean de Arpa:

  Jean, Pierre, Claude and Etienne had divided on the 7/10/1596 their property amongst themselves. They had their properties in the villages and territories of Tartegnin, Serrauls, Burtignier and neighbouring areas.

 

  A document pertaining to Jean is a certificate of distribution between him and his brother Etiene, dated on the 8/5/1609. Etienne had 31 real estates, and Jean 36. As they had a little wronged their brother Claude, one of the conditions of the distributions has been the following :- (The said brothers have agreed, settled, and fixed to keep alternatively the maintenance of their brother Claude... in food, clothes, and render fraternal assistance in case of sickness, and to assist the other members of the family with whom the said Claude has promised to accommodate himself. This aid to be rendered in a proper and profitable manor, and to assist him if he cannot live with the said brothers due to some inconvenience such as illness or any infirmity that can overtake him. He who will not abide by the stated agreement regarding Claude will have the monies required for his maintenance, deducted from his earnings, and handed to the one who maintains him). Considering that poor Claude doea not even possess a vine, (reserved in his favour), his brothers granted him in their generosity, four pints of white wine, (good and acceptable). But if by chance he wanted (to partake in the enjoyment of his estate as above divided), Etienne and Jean declare that they will collect from the estate of the said Claude the sum of 3500 florins.

 

  Jean had to pay the Parish of Rolle 100 florins, thro a banquet to the Council of that town and also buy for each Councillor a hat for the price of 12 florins. He also had great properties in Tartegnin.

        413696.  Pierre de Alpa215, born in France; died Unknown.

 

Notes for Pierre de Alpa:

  Coat of Arms - A Golden Harp on a shield, and reading on top of the shield is a grilled helmet with mantilinge on either side of it; above the helmet is a Unicorn in silver. This coat of arms was created later when the name had changed to dela Harpe.

 

  Locality les Arpes - About a kilometre from the town of Thonon, on the big road that lies to Midid, we meet a road leading to the hamlet of Collonges. On the corner of this road exists the locality les Arpes. It is from this locality formerly known as Alpa and later on as Arpa that the dela Harpe family originated. The original Latin name was de Arpa and in French de l' Arpe. The letter (H) preceeding the word Arpa was introduced during the year 1540. The substitution of the letter (r) for the letter (l) is explained by the hard pronunciation of the popular language, as is shown in the words, "soldat" pronounced "sordat", and "croix d'Alpille" as "croix d' Arpille".

Appears for the first time as Alderman of Franc-de-Bruges in 1410. He kept this title until 1419.

 

Although a law reduced the number of Aldermen in 1414. In the year 1419,he was one of the 27 magistrates group formed by Philippe le bon after Jean-sans-Peur, Duc de Bourgogne, passed away. He stayed on until 1430, after being appointed as Chief of the Aldermen between 1424 and 1429.

 

Jean joris had a brother named Phillipe who was the “intendant” of Jean VI, master og Ghistelles, Ingelmunster etc.
