Daniel Sloyer the younger's father was the Hamburg merchant Daniel Sloyer the elder, who lived in Hamburg and who was deceased by late 1652, leaving his widow in Hamburg, and Daniel the younger's brother, [[Franz Sloyer]]. Daniel Sloyer the younger had part-ownership of the ship the ''Saint George'' with his brother ffrancis (alt. Franz) Sloyer.<ref>ADD REFERENCE></ref>

Franz Sloyer had a commercial relationship with his brother Daniel Sloyer the younger, frequently shipping goods to Daniel in Cadiz and receiving returns to Hamburg from Daniel.

Anne Blondé in her University of Ghent master's thesis (2008-2009) reproduces a list of "Mayordomos" for Cadiz from 1663 to 1703, citing Hendrik Vandeginste, De Vlaamse natie te Cádiz (1665-1700). Een socioculturele benadering, Gent, RUG (onuitgegeven licenciaatsverhandeling) (Gent, 2000) as her source. As Mayordomo for 1664 she lists "vermoedelijk Daniel Sloyer" (translation: probably Daniel Sloyer).<ref>[http://lib.ugent.be/fulltxt/RUG01/001/369/716/RUG01-001369716_2010_0001_AC.pdf Anne Blondé, Ontstaan en ontwikkeling van de functie van consul van de (Zuid) Nederlandse handelsnaties in Spanje tijdens de 16de en 17de eeuw (Universiteit Gent, 2008-2009), p.70]</ref>

Daniel's brother Franz Sloyer predeceased him. A Reichskammergericht record contains the "Testament von 1691 des Daniel Sloyer, Kaufmann in Cadix". The same record contains an "Inventar von 1687 des Nachlasses des Franz Sloyer, Kaufmann in Hamburg".<ref>[https://www.archivportal-d.de/item/2SPKVKYVLSREHI4U65MFNYKWCDFPRVMJ Staatsarchiv Hamburg, 211-2_M 42 Teil 1]</ref>

Harman Reyndorp and ffrancis Sloyer together owned a sixteenth part of the ship.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.237r Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.237r]]</ref>
