Isaac de Roever

[2] De Roever made a career in the colonial administration of the Dutch Gold Coast.

During his term in office, he was summoned to answer his superiors in the Batavian Republic for "excessive behaviours".

[3] De Roever served until 16 June 1805, when he was relieved by Pieter Linthorst so that he could recover from illness in the Netherlands.

[5] In 1810, Isaac de Roever bought the buitenplaats of Meergenoegen in Watergraafsmeer near Amsterdam from Johan Pieter Farret [fr].

Farret probably had to sell his estate because of financial problems caused by Napoleon's tiercering of Dutch government bonds.
