Jan Helenus Ferguson
Jan Helenus Ferguson was a Dutch colonial government official and diplomat, who made a career in the administration of the Dutch West Indies and the Dutch Gold Coast, before becoming consul general of the Netherlands to China. Ferguson also authored several works on international law, sociology and philosophy.
Jan Helenus Ferguson was born on the Caribbean island of Curaao to Jonathan Ferguson from Amsterdam and Helena Elizabeth Martijn from Curaao. He initially made a career in the colonial administration of the Dutch Caribbean islands, becoming lieutenant governor of Aruba in 1866. He was appointed lieutenant governor of Bonaire in June 1871, but never took office as the Dutch government needed someone to hand over the Dutch Gold Coast to the British in 1872 after governor Cornelis Nagtglas had left the colony.
