马六甲华人甲必丹Notchin与郑芳扬生平事迹补遗 ——以《龙海市文苑社郑氏族谱》为依据

摘要
荷兰殖民马六甲初期，荷兰人在不同族群中委任七位甲必丹，以有效管理马六甲各族和便于各族群的治理。其中，Notchin与郑芳扬先后成为马六甲前两任华人甲必丹，主要负责处理马六甲华人社会的事务。然而，在马来西亚华人叙述历史中，较少有关Notchin与郑芳扬的记载，关于他们的生平事迹众说纷纭，多有出入。2015年，笔者前往福建省漳州龙海市榜山镇文苑村进行田野考察时，从郑氏族人手中获取与Notchin、郑芳扬身世密切相关的《龙海市文苑社郑氏族谱》，才有了对两位华人甲必丹的研究历史线索。本文将会依据《龙海市文苑社郑氏族谱》，梳理Notchin、郑芳扬与文苑村诒谷堂郑氏家族之间的关系。文中所进行的厘清与分析工作，或许可成为同仁未来研究Notchin及郑芳扬的依据之一，并进行深入研究。
