Sri Lanka Burgher/Sinhala Family Genealogy
De Saram - Family #3126
There is reason to
believe that there are two de Saram families. One family a Sinhalese
family which took the name de Saram, and probably the original name would have
been Gankanda Arachchi (de Saram
family 1). The founder of the second de Saram family seems to be Domingo de Saram
Wanjgasekera Ekanaike (de Saram family 2).
De Saram family 2 seems
to have married to Dutch and British families. However both these families have
also inter married, and some married to other Sinhalese families. Gankanda
arachchi de Saram family may have lived close to Galkissa. Because there are
two Walauwa's (mansions) of the de Saram's built around the year 1800 in
present day Mihindu Mawatha Galkissa. (Dehiwela). . (Udaha Walauwa-1800 and
Galkissa Walauwa-1820. )
De Saram Family 1
Alexander Wijesekere de Saram Muhandiram, Salpiti Korale b approx 1645, is
the first recorded de Saram. He married the daughter of Kotalawela Don Philip
Wijesiriwardhana Atapattu Mudaliyar. Colombo.
There is reason to believe that, Alexander de
Saram and his son Anthonan de Saram Wirasinghe Siriwardena Mudaliyar Salpiti
Korale, b 1685-1752, were actively involved in the planting of coconut at
Mahawellawatte (Wellawatte) and Galkissa (Mount Lavinia).
In a Dutch internet document in internet, it
says, the first village, to the south of Colombo, was Galkissa. In the
time of the Governor Rijkloff van Goens (1664-1675), the village was
rented for ten years, on the condition that 8000 coconut trees would be planted
there over the period, and a sum of 200 rix dollars per year would be paid.
(Planting agreement). In another Dutch document it says, there were in all 15,
000 coconut trees at Galkissa (234acres) and 16, 000 coconut trees at Mahawellawatte.
(250acres).
It is believed that they took 4 leases and
planted this 31, 000 coconut trees, and received 800 rix dollars per year for
ten years.
As Alexander de Saram and Anthonan de Saram
took these lands on lease and planted with coconut, they were given the option
to purchase these lands in the year 1730. (Due to high maintenance cost, the
policy was changed, and the land was sold to those who planted. )
In Paul Pieris's book it says Anthonan de
Saram purchased a land with 16, 000 coconut trees (250 acres) at Mahawellawatte
in Year 1730 for 1355 rix dollars from the Dutch Company.
Similarly it is also believed that the
Galkissa land was purchased by Anthonan de Saram in 1730. Proceeds of sale of
Wellawatte lands may have been used to build the Udaha walauwa in 1800 and
Galkissa walauwa in 1820.
Out of the Wellawatte land, Leonard de
Saram, GGS of Anthonan de Saram inheritted 75 acres. But as he did not have
children, after his death his wife gifts the property to his sister's
grandchildren. (Jane Rejo de Alwis and Daniel Albert de Alwis. )
Jane Rejo de Alwis who married Thomas
Senewiratne inherited 25 acres at Wellawatte around the year 1900. They had 3
sons. I have seen a deed where the Senewiratne brothers (Edwin, Arthur and
Jimmy) (children of Jane Rejo) sold 10 acres of Mahawellawatte land in 1930 for
2 lakhs. And the last remaining house in Rajasinghe road was sold in 1970.
Similarly Daniel Albert de Alwis inherited 50 acres at Wellawatte. It is
believed that they built the Samudragiri Waluwa in de Saram road, Mt Lavinia,
from the proceeds of the Wellawatte land sale.
Jane Rejo de Alwis and Daniel Albert de Alwis
received the above mentioned land from the wife of Leoanard de Saram. (Susana
Hetroyda de Saram nee de Alwis. )
The Galkissa land I belive stretched from
present day Mihindu Mawatha Dehiwela to beyond St Thomas's College Mt Lavinia.
Land in and around Mihindu Mawatha, Galkissa
Walauwa, and the cemetery earlier belonged to the de Saram family, and they
belonged to Leonard de Saram (1814-1880). The land in and around Hotel Road and
De Saram road which belonged to the Bandaranaike family, may have earlier
belonged to the De Saram family. Land
behind the Galkissa Walauwa belonged to Peter de Saram, where the Udaha walauwa
has been built. He also owned several lands in Galkissa area. Daniel Albert de
Alwis received the land from Galle Road to the sea, from Leonard de Saram's
wife as a gift.
In 1881 it was aquired by the governtment and compensation
paid, to build the Galkissa cemetery and a low income housing scheme. Daniel
Albert de Alwis also got land in Mihindu Mawatha and Terrance Avenue, which
later went to Leo de Alwis and Lilian de Alwis, which they later sold to their
cousin Edwin Seneviratne. Lilian had one son, Terrence Senewiratne. Terrence
Avenue was named after him. Leo de Alwis had his rescidence in newly built
Samudragiri Walauwa in de Saram road, while the Senewiratne's lived at Galkissa
Walauwa.
The land opposite the cemetery on the land
side was inherited by Jane Rejo de Alwis. She gave that land to her 3 sons, but
a small portion was aquired by the govt to build a chidren's park. Around 1925 the Senewiratne brothers Edwin,
Arthur and Jimmy donated one acre of land in Kawdana Road to build the
Anusubodharama Buddhist Temple. Peter de
Saram lived at Udaha Walauwa. His son Christy de Saram built the Mihindu
Vidyalaya School in his land from his money in 1950. In 1980, the road leading
to the school was named Mihindu Mawatha. Around Yr 2005 the school was taken
over by the Army and a Army camp now exists. In 1990 the fields of Peter de
Saram down Mihindu Mawatha were aquired by the governtment for compensation,
and they were filled and sold to build houses.
Subsequently these lands of Mahawellawatte and
Galkissa were divided among Anthonan de Saram's decendents.
In the deeds of Mihindu Mawatha, there is a
wording, Liyanaparangiyawatte. Meaning a Portuguese cleark, had once lived
there.
The De Saram Family
The first notable
ancestor of the De Saram family was an interpreter who accompanied the Dutch
Embassy to Kandy 1731 – 1732. Despite
his advanced age of 71 years, this early De Saram had to make the entire
journey by foot. From there, the De
Saram family progressively gained power and position by loyalty, switching
religions from Dutch Protestantism to British Anglicanism and benefiting from
the preference of British rulers to appoint individuals loyal to their rule to
high positions. This fact can be seen
across the board amongst many notables belonging to all the communities in Sri
Lanka.
The De Saram family
was given increasing patronage and chiefly appointments and it grew in power
and influence during the British period.
The De Saram family
eventually had a strong and exclusive circle of relatives who were Mudaliyars
by the late 19th century. Later, through
marriage alliances the family extended to the Obeysekere, Dias-Bandaranaike,
Ilangakoon, de Alwis, de Livera, Pieris, Siriwardena and Senanayake families.
Also see Mudaliyardom
and Wolfendhal by J R Weinman for
references to Rev J H de Saram, the Anglican Clergyman
De Saram family of
mixed origin Sinhalese itself by posing as the representatives of the masses
and subsequently convinces the British rulers that they are from the Govigama
caste. The de Sarams appear to have
derived their govigama identity from the Kandyan monks who staged a govigama
only coup in the Kandyan Sangha in 1764.
The de Saram’s helped these Kandyan Govigama only Siyam Nikaya to
establish itself in the British maritime region.
Mudaliyar Don David
de Saram (b approx 1750) organizes an unprecedented Buddhist ceremony lasting a
week on a flotilla on the Nilwala river in Matara and gives the govigama nikaya
his full official patronage. During this
period the De Saram family gains power and position first by loyality to thr
Dutch and then the British switching religions from Dutch Protestantism to
British Anglicanism and collaborating with the invaders.

This is Christoffel de Saram Wanigasekera Ekanaike, subsequently 4th Maha
Mudaliyar. He was the son of Domingo de
Saram Wanigasekera Ekanaike Attapattu Mudaliyar and his wife Dona
Petronella. Domingo had 2 sisters,
Elizabeth and Dominga, and 3 daughters, Gertroyda, Juliana and Francina. The last daughter married Don Lodewyk
Mohandiram of Salpita korale, that is Fonseka Mudaliyar. Gertroyda seems to have married a
Samarakoon Mudaliyar while Juliana Sophiya married Don David Dias
Bandaranaike.
The Maha Mudaliar
married Cornelia Henrietta Scharff, sister of sister in law of Henricus
Philipsz Wijekoon Panditaratne, and his children were

Details
from page 49.
Don David
Dias Bandaranaike was the son of Don Conrad Maha Mudaliyar and married Juliana
Sophia, sister of Christoffel De Saram, 4th Maha Mudaliyar. (as the dates dont
match, may be a son of Francisco DB)
And had a
daughter, Christina Pietronella baptised 29th October 1789, who appears to have
married Samanakkody Mudaliyar. He had
also a son Carlo.
Many adopted Portuguese names, were often
those of their sponsors at Baptism.
The word Don or Dona, first conferred by
Portuguese on nobleman and women and high rank Sinhalese. And
was later given to any person, appointed to office under the government.
By the 1630's about half of the people of the
coastal regions of the South West and most of the inhabitants of Jaffna
professed Christianity. Many baptised
Roman Catholics may have continued to follow Buddhist rituals in their homes,
while adopting a different identity in public.
During about three quarters of a century of
Dutch rule a large number of baptisms took place. In 1718, the total in Colombo, Galle and
Matara areas were 93, 165. The vast
majority converted to ensure their hold over property, the legitimacy of their
children, and rights of inheritance, under the Company's administration. People of Ceylon, straddled two identities
with some ease.
Both Portuguese and Dutch Governments, made
profession of Christianity a pre-requisite for government employment, and
vigorously sought conversion. However when the British made it known, that
they did not require conversion, to their form of Christianity, many
Lankan protestants changed their
professed religion to Buddhism and Hinduism.
The Tombu index was started by the Portuguese, but
registration work began in the 1740's.

Daniel de Alwis's son Adrian

Liendran de Saram is a nephew of
Wijayasiriwardena Maha Mudaliyar who served till 1736.
20/2/1756 Liendran de Saram
received a award from Governor of Ceylon Joannes Gideon Loten for faithfu
services.
(In 1758 Leander de Saram MM
of the Governors Gate at Colombo, the highest ranking local official was exiled
to the Cape of good hope-South Africa, because he was suspected of a secret
understanding with Kandy, at a moment when Dutch-Kandyan relations were in a
bad state. Leander de Saram knew the workings of the Dutch Administration, to
make a complaint to the higher authoritiesin Batavia, who over ruled the
Colombo decision, and let him return to his native land. )After he was banished
new Mudaliyar Alexander Abeyesekere Samarakoon was appointed on 6/3/1758.
Thombu Index shows he had land

"Dona Catharina from Galkissa, was the
2nd wife of Don Fransiscus Dias Bandaranaike. They had a daughter named Dona Corneliya. baptised on 3/12/1775, Don Davith was
the son of Liendran de Saram Karunaratne and Johanna Maria Perera. On 24th October 1790 Dona Corneliya married

Galkissa walauwa may have been built by Leonard de Saram's father, Louis
de Saram in 1820. It is still standing in Mihindu Mawatha Galkissa. . And may
be Leonard de Saram and Susana Hetroyda de Alwis lived there. (After the death of Leonard de Saram, properties
were inherited by Susana Hetroyda de Alwis.
As they did not have children, they were given to Leonard de Saram’s
sister’s grand children. . Susana de Saram nee de Alwis gives 50 acres of
Mahawellawatte to Daniel Albert de Alwis, and 25 acres of Mahawellawatte
to Jane Rajo de Alwis. They both received properties in Galkissa, and
Mihindu Mawatha, including the Galkissa Walauwa. While staying at Galkissa Walauwa they are
supposed to have built the Samudragiri Walauwa in de Saram Road Mt Lavinia.
Which later was the home of Daniel Albert de Alwis. Galkissa Walauwa became the home of Jane Rajo
de Alwis who married Thomas Leonard Gunasekera Senewiratne. Daniel Albert de Alwis and Jane Rejo de Alwis
are children of Helena Eliza de Alwis. )
