In 1704 he moved to Suriname. He was a shop owner in Paramaribo and he owned the plantations "Nieuw Meerzorg", "Leydenshoop" and "Jacobslust" (also known as "Jakoepoe").

In the impost-register the name is written as Karpel, buried pro deo (30 Aug 1753). 1st marriage 2nd marriage 3rd marriage, daughter of Salomon Eljakum Cohen and Egla Jacob Norden From "De geschiedenis van de familie Cohen" by D.E. Cohen: - Guardians of her three children (one of them named Jacob) with Hendrik: their grandfather Salomon Cohen, their uncle Marcus Levie Drukker (his wife was Hendriks sister) and the family-friend Joseph van Embden. 17 Jan 1714 Ester hands over 500 gl d to her (still minor) son from her first marriage, Jacob Hendrik, his share of his fathers inheritance. Ester was then about to marry Levi Karpel (from Prague). - The children from her second marriage were Rachel, Abigael, Isak, Hartogh, Philip and Judith. Their share in their fathers inheritance was 1000 gld each. Cohen writes that he didn't know anyting about the oldest four; Philip went to Suriname. Judith and her husband Jacob Hartog received her part of the inheritance from Levi Karpel and Levi Fles on 13 December 1729. (Rachel and Abigael turn out to be children of Joseph Hartog from his earlier marriages, I don't know about Isak). |
