Life

Vos was born one of nine children [2] of Jacob Albert Vos and Jacoba Maria de Joncheere. His father was a Reformed pastor in Montfoort, became pastor in Zaltbommel on 26 June 1768, and was Professor of Theology at Utrecht University from 4 December 1769, to 20 January 1794. [3] Vos matriculated at this university in 1788 [4] and received his medical doctorate on 11 June 1789. [5]

Around 1791, he was a physician in The Hague.[7] In 1792, he was awarded the Cothenius Medal [6] from the Imperial Academy of Natural Scientists (Leopoldina) for a paper on the "Über den richtigen Begriff und die zweckmäßige Behandlung der Krankheiten der ersten Wege" (On the correct terminology and appropriate treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract) [7]

Career

Vos, considered a moderate, was a member of the Provisional City Council from 25 January to 4 May 1795, and, following his election on 21 April 1795, a member of the Utrecht City Council from 4 May 1795, to 22 February 1796. [1] He was a member of its Committee for Public Instruction. [8] From 24 November 1795, to 1 March 1796, he was a deputy for Utrecht in the States General of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces. [9] He also represented Utrecht on the Committee for East India Trade and Possessions from 4 January 1796, to 15 May 1800. [9] Like many members of this committee, he was a Freemason. [10] Vos was a member of the government of the Department of Utrecht from 4 June 1802, to 1 August 1805 (re-elected on 18 August 1804) and from 29 September 1805, to May 1807. [9]

Vos married Cornelia Adriana Johanna Vos, the daughter of Johannes Vos and Ida Wilhelmina Bake, in 1791.
