extinct in the male line. One of his daughters
married into the Gildenhuys family, and another
daughter married Edward Christian Hauman. From
both of these couples there are still descendants
living.

Susanne Taillefer, married (1) Jean Gardé; (2) Pierre
Cronje; and (3) Jacob Naudé.

Isaac Taillefer, with wife and four children' in Dis-
tribution List 1690, and among Drakenstein families
1692' with wife and 3 children.'

Nicolas, in Distribution List 1690, and among Drakenstein Burghers 1692. There is an inventory of Nicolas de Labat, agriculturist, and his widow, Elisabeth Vivie, dated 1718. No children given.

Terreblanche, Etienne, among additional families 1700-1710, was a native of Toulon, and married 1713 Martha la Febre, widow of Jacques Pinard. Good many descendants still living, the name being now spelt Terblans.

Terrier or
Ferrier,

Thérond,

du Toit,

In Theal's List of Burghers at Drakenstein 1692, as
well as in Distribution List 1690 is Daniel Ferrier,
most likely the same person as Daniel Terrier in the
Drakenstein Baptismal Books, 1695-7 and 9. His
wife was Sara Jacob, presumably the one who married
Jean du Buis. Three children, Marie, Susanne, and
Pierre, but no descendants in the male line.
Jacques, in Distribution List 1690, and among Draken-
stein Burghers 1692. There is a copy of a letter in
the Grey Library from Jacques Thérond, dated 2nd
April 1719, from Nimes the capital of Languedoc,
and addressed to his son Jacques Thérond the refugee.
The farm owned by the latter at the Cape was called
'Languedoc.' Jacques Thérond, the refugee, married
Marie Janne des Preez. First child born 1698. Where
the wife's name is given in the Drakenstein Baptismal
entries it is written De Pre' or 'De Pret,' according
to Theal. Numerous descendants still living, writing
their name now simply 'Theron' without the 'd.'
François and Guillaume, two brothers, both in Dis-
tribution List, 1690, Guillaume 'with wife and one
child,' and François simply with wife.' François
is among Drakenstein Burghers 1692, with wife and
two children,' and is described in his marriage entry
(1690) with Susanne Seugnet of Saintonge, as being
of or from Ryssel (Lille). The now numerous
families of Du Toit are descendants of this couple.
Guillaume is among the Stellenbosch burghers, 1692,
'with wife and three children.' He married in 1788

du Tuillet,

Valleté,
Verdeau,

de Villiers,

Sara Cochet, widow of Pieter de Klercq, she being a native of Ostrouburgh; there were only daughters by this marriage. According to a family register of the du Toits there was also a brother named Bruno. Jean, and Philippe Drouin, embarked at Delft in the Driebergen in May, 1698, together with two Cronjes and Le Riche, (see despatches from Delft, 7th May, 1698) but not having met with their names here I cannot tell whether they ever reached the Cape. Anne. See Couvret.

his

Jacques, bachelor 20 years old and Hercule
brother, 16 years old,' in Passenger List of China from
Rotterdam, 20th March 1688. The latter alone is
in the Distribution List 1690, and among Drakenstein
Burghers 1692. He married Catharina Hucibos,
(also written Maria Catherina Huibeaux, Hucebos,
and Wibeaux.) Only two girls Magdalena and
Susanna were born, 1703 and 1707, to this couple,
and the family became extinct. In a joint will of
Hercule Verdeau and his wife, executed 30th July
1718, his age is given as 46, and her's as 43.
Maria Verdeau (presumably another daughter) married
(1) Pierre Jourdan de Cabrière (widower), by whom
there was a child christened 1722; (2) Daniel Malan,
to whom Pierre Roux de Cabrière bequeathed all his
property.
Abraham, Pierre, and Jacob, three brothers, vine-
dressers from the neighbourhood of La Rochelle,
arrived here in the Zion on the 6th May 1689. In a
despatch from the Chamber of Delft, dated 16th Dec.
1688, and received by the Zion, special reference is
made to these three brothers as possessing a good
knowledge of the cultivation of the vine, and recom-
mending the Governor to give them every assistance.
In this despatch the names are mentioned in the
following order-(1) Pierre, (2) Abraham, and (3)
Jacob, which may perhaps indicate the order of
seniority. In the Distribution List 1690 we have
Abraham de Villiers with wife and two brothers,'
and among Drakenstein families 1692:-Abraham
de Villiers with wife and two children,' Jacob
de Villiers with wife and two children,' and Pierre
de Villiers with wife and one child.' Abraham
married 1689 Susanne Gardiol, and left nothing but
daughters.
Jacob married Marguerite Gardiol, first baptismal entry
1695. Pierre married Elizabeth Taillefer, first
baptismal entry 1699.

Villion,

Viret,

Visagie,

I have taken a good deal of trouble to find out the relative ages of these brothers, but have only succeeded in ascertaining Jacob's from a joint will executed 11th Jan. 1719, in which he gives his age as 58 years and describes himself as a native of 'Borgondien.' His wife (Marguerite Gardiol) is stated in the same document to have been born in Provence and to be 45 years old.

The De Villiers are at the present time the most numerous of the Huguenot families here, and are all descendants of Pierre and Jacob.

A family tradition states that four brothers left their home, but the youngest (Paul) after having gone some distance became homesick, turned back, and was never heard of again.

Pierre, Abraham, Jacques, et Paul de Villiers sortirent du royaume de France 1685. Ils étaient fils de Pierre de Villiers. ( Archives de La Rochelle.)

No mention in Distribution List 1690, but in the list of families in the Cape District 1692 is the 'widow of François Villion, with two children.' There is in the Cape Town Church Books a marriage entry in May 1676, of François Fignon, bachelor of Claremont, free burgher, and Cornelia Campenaar, spinster of Middleberg. In the baptismal entries of the children of this couple the surname is mostly spelt Villion.' The name is now generally written Viljoen,' and there are now numerous descendants of this couple.

In 1725 there is a Church Book entry of Pieter Vion, (also written Wion) but he is the ancestor of the Wium family, which name is pronounced very much like Viljoen' though without the 1.'

Etienne, in Distribution List 1690, and list of Drakenstein Burghers 1692. His wife was Marguerite Roux, presumably one of the two orphans mentioned under the heading Roux.' First baptismal entry is in 1697. Though he had five sons borne him, he appears to have left no descendants in the male line. In a joint will of this couple executed 14th Aug. 1726 Viret is described as being of ' Dauphiné,' aged about 64, and his wife as being of Provence, 44 years old.' Pieter, is described in his marriage entry (21st June 1671) as of Antwerp,' his wife being Catherina Kieuts van ter Veer. In one of the baptismal entries the surname is also written Visasie.' The spelling of 'Visagie' is still generally retained and there are a good number of descendants now living.

Vitout,
Vivier,

Sara, wife of Jacques Delport. See Delport.
Jacob, Abraham, and Pierre, in Distribution List 1690,
and among the Drakenstein Burghers 1692. In the
original Muster Roll of the latter year, the three are
described as being 'maats' or partners. Abraham
married Jacquemine du Pré, sister of Jacques
Thérond's wife; the others did not marry. First
record in Church Books the christening of a child in
1698. From this couple the Viviers of the present
day are descended.
